The Hollow Key
A large iron key, cold and slightly wrong in the hand — it opens the bricked-up door to the Shut Reliquary in Castle Sered's closed wing, lifted by Veya the Tinner from a sleeping steward.
The key is house-Vandahl issue, stamped with the anchor-and-ash, but whoever made the door it opens did not make it for the house: the bow is cast at an angle no smith's habit explains, and the iron has a faint warmth to it when tapped that plain iron doesn't hold — the Imperium's temple-bronze worked into the fitting, the same alloy the old machinery behind the wall is made of. Lord Vandahl's steward lost it; Veya the Tinner found it before anyone could ask where it went. She has it in a tin box wrapped in cloth because it warms faintly in her palm when the moon is full, cold as any iron otherwise, and that is the sort of thing you do not leave loose in a pocket.
