Research Notes
If someone was looking for the item, or looking to make a copy or variant of the item, what resources are out there? This section should have information that gives reading sources, legends, tales of the adventures of one of the users of the item. This section is basically where you put hooks to mini-adventures / sidebar games so that the world continues to live though this usually abandoned or trivialised part of the game. The feeling for the player is that their character, has been active and earned his knowledge. The item will have meaning, it will matt er, it will be worth making an effort for and cause sadness or trouble if lost or stolen.
