((OOC: In one of the open tents near the campfires of the Exigo Syndicate, two panels of wood that might have once belonged to a shield lie neatly in a corner. Next to them is a crude knife - better described as a piece of scrap iron sharpened at one end into a point - and the remnants of what might have been beautifully colored flowers. Judging by the scents and colors of the wood carving, it would be easy to assume that the plants were used as primitive paints - although the detail is exquisite.))
