From publisher blurb:
Who is this Collector?
Who is he who resides deep in the northern region of the Frozen Tundra? According to some researchers from the Astral Academy, he is "a danger to all." Olbia's tinkerer's guild describes him as a "genius with no equal." Followers of the Path of the Crimson Flame growl at him, considering him an "enemy not to be trifled with." Leaders of nearby villages insist that he is "pure and unfiltered trouble."
Despite being famous and present, the Collector is a mysterious man. Some reports and documents mention his presence before the Astral Conflict, and his collection contains artifacts and creatures from throughout Latakar's history. His collection actually goes far beyond ancient and historically significant artifacts as he also keeps curious creatures on display as a living zoo. Anything that displays unusual aspects is frozen or preserved inside his mansion as if it were a piece of art to be appreciated.
Recently, things went wrong when many of these creatures escaped their magical cages, which was an act of subversion by someone or something. The ever-affluent Collector has put a bounty on those who can neutralize or capture these creatures and uncover who committed this act of vandalism against his precious collection. Regardless of this prize, the villages near his mansion have united to ask the Adventure Guilds to take action against the flying dragon they saw escaping the mansion.
