A recent trip to the museum archives - in the hope of locating a Hand of Glory, supplied you with some useful information: In the founding years of the city, sewer constuctors reported uncovering ancient tombs deep below the ground. Descriptions of these lost remenants of past civilizations lead you to believe a Hand of Glory might be aquired down there.
