I - Maximillion best - am honouring the town by collecting as many gems, precious or not, to prepare for a display.

I am paying more than average merchants, and anyone obtaining any gems, should seek me out. No doubt you will know my face, for I am of course more famous than that hack Elminster.

I will also be seeking a venue, to hold the display of gems soon, once the collection is complete. I am currently having trouble finding a suitable centrepiece for the collection.
