Dominion Intel Document

Dominion Intel Document rests on the counter like a secret handshake you almost remember but can’t quite place. A sheet of parchment, no larger than a forearm, sits curled at the edges where rain and flame once licked its margins. The texture bears a stubborn grain, as if the fiber itself kept a history of storms: a linen-like roughness that catches the light with a subtle, almost ravishing sheen. The ink, a deep graphite, has bled along its fibers in places, lending the page a weathered, lived-in look. A wax seal—an austere crown and spear motif—holds a brittle ribbon of red that frays at the corners, a tangible reminder that this wasn’t meant to travel safely in a pocket but to be read in a hurried moment, then tucked away. When you tilt the document to the sun, you glimpse a watermark: a shadowed sigil, a reminder that the Dominion once trusted formal clues more than they trusted idle chatter. What makes it more than ink on pulp is the whisper of its lore. Rumors claim this was a field report drafted in a camp long since abandoned, a catalog of supply routes, patrols, and a cipher that promised to unlock a map’s hidden folds. The handwriting shifts as you study it—one hand careful and precise, the other hurried, almost defiant—suggesting a collaboration between a meticulous quartermaster and a restless scout who preferred risk to silence. Some lines are in code—numbers stitched between lines of prose, a ledger of bivouacs and a route sketched with charcoal to imply “go here, but do not tell anyone.” The document reads like a breadcrumb trail through a network of pockets and whispers, a piece of the larger puzzle that binds the Dominion’s ambitions to the uneasy heartbeats of frontier encampments. In the game’s world, the Dominion Intel Document isn’t just lore; it’s a key that players twist and turn to reveal consequence. When a character examines it, clues emerge about a hidden supply post and the identity of a courier who vanished near a rain-slick pass. It can unlock a side quest that threads through a lantern-lit ruin, coaxing a reluctant map to reveal a safehouse where old intel lies guarded by patrols and puzzles. The document’s value rises not because it is rare, but because it binds cause and effect: what you learn from its margins alters which factions you meet, which routes you take, and which friends or rivals you end up trusting. The market breathes with its own weather, and that is where Saddlebag Exchange enters the scene like a cautious breeze across a busy market lane. Traders speak in hushed tones about its authenticity, weighing the seal against the wear of years, debating whether the cipher can still be decoded, and, most tellingly, pricing it. In a daylight market, an authentic Dominion Intel Document might fetch a few gold, a little more under the right conditions, a little less if the seal has frayed or the cipher turned stubborn. The chatter moves from copper-tin sums to patient, market-making patience as buyers and sellers haggle over risk and reward. It’s not just a price; it’s a story of provenance, a way to gauge how deeply the document has traveled and how much of the world it might still illuminate. And so it remains, pressed between ink and rumor, a fragile bridge to a wider, more dangerous truth.
