It was not that the Church of Tyr's offerings were worthless. On the contrary, they were all good items. If they had been offered to an ordinary person, that person would probably have agreed long ago. Divine artifacts were all well and good, but only if one could use them. If not, they were less practical than tangible wealth.

But that logic did not apply to Solam. He had no interest in the gems and riches on the list. Though he wanted the magical items, they were not especially tempting either. Solam did not lack such things. He was somewhat interested in the scrolls, but who had ever heard of trading a divine artifact for divine spell scrolls?

There were also several famous weapons and pieces of equipment left on the list, but Solam truly had little interest in them. Anything collected by the Church of Tyr was naturally good, but if even the finest item came with alignment restrictions, its value would be greatly reduced. Moreover, Solam's style of doing things was utterly incompatible with the lawful good alignment, so those items were of little use to him personally.

As for his subordinates, there were not many decent people among them either. Other than Loris and Sallis, every last one of them was evil-aligned. They were either sailors—who were rarely lawful good—or gangsters. Giving those things to them would be pointless.

Furthermore, there was truly little equipment on this list intended for women. Perhaps the Church of Tyr had placed greater consideration on Solam's own needs, which was
