This was covertly commissioned of me by one who shall remain nameless,
as part of a secret plot, the details of which I was sworn to secrecy
about. It was delivered to Wingleader T'garrick at Benden Weyr by one of

Description
This elegant scrollcover is longer than most, evidently designed to hold
rather extensive charts and documents. The stiffened hide which forms its
structure is covered over with the most exquisite golden cloth. Woven of
shimmering threads which have a trick of catching the light at just the right
angle, its surface is worked over with subtle abstract patterns, visible only
upon close inspection. Embroidered overtop the gold in a satin stitch so
precise it could only be a master's work, are lithe dragons done in jet-black
threads. Their bodies curve time and again across the length of the cylinder,
each exquisitely sewn detail of their wings, heads, and tails standing out
against the golden cloth.
