Full Item Description
Though the Malachrite Falcon would appear to be a crudly carved falcon made of a black lead one cubit tall, the black covers the soild gold statue underneith it. The gold is extremely valuable, but it is the historical worth of the Falcon, because of it various owners, that makes it more valuable. The item is said to have magical powers, but what those powers are is vague.
There have been dozens of forgeries and vanity copies made of the Falcon over the centuries. If you encounter a large black lead bird, it will probably be one of these (though some are almost as famous or infamous as the original).
Magic/Cursed Properties
There is a reason so many organizations have vied for this object. Inside of it is the bound spirit of the great Wizard Seer Quiro Vran or “The Black Wing”. This legendary Malachrite (his nationality/ society) wrote several of the most important early thesis on Magic. If one can speak to spirits and possesses the statue, you can ask the Black Wing questions about magic, the past, and sometimes the future. The Falcon has become a powerful tool used by the Great Orders.

It makes a great McGuffin. It motivates adventurers to look for it, get it back for someone else, stop the Evil Cult that wants it, and so on.
The Blades are still there, in the background, as a secret or semi-secret organization. They can become patrons or use the PCs as pawn. (OF course the enemies of the Blades might do that as well.)
The Dolman is one of a dozen false Falcons made over the years. This one is special and has its own abilities. Feel free to make some of your own and link them to the Falcon.

It's a little short, but you've given more details elsewhere and I like the idea of the forgeries become their own things...
