“ A small, enchanted chest, 2 feet on a side. It is of some dark wood with fantastical images graved upon it. Worn leather straps act as hinges and a simple toggle keeps it closed.

Perfect for passing messages or small items between widespread groups, such as ships at sea and their ports of call or generals on the field of battle.”
