The Sack of Overflowing Loot is a unique artifact, resembling a satchel of toughened brown leather with a matching silk rope binding. It was crafted by Mountain Folk artisans centuries past and bequeathed to the Throne as part of their annual Imperial tithe.
The bag shares function with the much sought after Dragon Cache Eggs, a container that can hold objects much larger in size than its own volume would suggest. However, the Mountain Folk wove strange enchantments into their gift such that the Sack can hold many times the weight of the most common cache eggs discovered by Scavenger Lords; the sorcerers who have investigated the artifact believe this great feat of artifice came with a commensurate cost, for the Sack does not remove the weight of the objects it stores as cache eggs do. Instead it magnifies weight, such that the sack becomes increasingly heavy with each bauble placed within, rendering it unfeasible for transporting things on one's person.
The secrets to Cache Eggs has long eluded the artificers of the Realm's sorcerous schools. Several have studied the Sack in hopes of that its strange behavior might yield key to replicating even its lesser effects. Current thought amongst the Kinetropic School yields that the Mountain Folk used inferior Silurian theories to forge this lesser trinket, with lesser understanding of Creation's laws resulting in a flawed artifact.
As an oddity of questionable utility, the Sack has still seen inventive use throughout its history in the service to the Scarlet Empress. At times it has innocuously sat in the cargo of her ships, carrying a satrap's ransom in cowrie shells or rare spices. At others the Sack has acted as arsenal for her agents, when forced to build a base of operations in sorry locales.
