Pearl of Great Price of the Barony of the Stargate
“…Myrddin ap Rhys found himself upon a beach and as he walked, he came upon an ancient crown covered in precious pearls, as he reached to touch it, the crown crumbled spilling its precious ornaments on the sand as the tide began sweeping them out to sea. He quickly gathered as many as he could and kept them in secret within the Baronial keep of the Stargate. Only the barons and baronesses of the Stargate know how many there were and remain, but they are gifted to those who are precious to the live of the barony. “
