Well met again, traveler! Remember those Branchweavers you put down for me? I kept a bit of one to burn for charcoal, and look what I found in the heartwood. Bone. Human bone, bound right into the grain with iron wire, neat as you please. Trees don't grow wire. Somebody bound those bones into living wood, on purpose. Bring me more heartwood from the Branchweavers, five good pieces, and I'll tell you whose work it is. I know smith's work when I see it.

On Completion

Aye, the same wire in every one. Cheap bog-iron, the sort I sell by the bundle for mending nets and fences, twisted into the grain by somebody with no feel for the work. There’s only one lot in these sodden parts who’ve been buying it by the armful: that rabble of outlaws camped in the marsh south of the castle ruins. I sold them three bundles myself last spring and thought nothing of it. More fool me.
