Von Ruthvek’s Splendors of the South(Area 1): Valexa Von Ruthvek (N female gnome magewright 8/loremaster 5) is one of Cap-Tempête’s best-known antiquities dealers, able to identify even the most puzzling items uncovered among the giant ruins. She keeps a wide array of magic items and other curiosities in her store, all under lock, bar, and magical ward to deter thieves. Von Ruthvek offers magic item identification services for the usual rates, but she often pays PCs for a full expedition report if she is interested in finding out more about a particular relic the party has found.
