The following SG was inspired by a dream.
Prologue
Long ago, when magic was still practiced with abandon, there was a mage. And the mage wished vengeance on a royal family, but was also cunning enough to realize that assassination was a delicate art. So he crafted the seven pillows. Aside from their color, they were all identical in appearance: A solid block of fabric stuffed with wool. Nestled within their unadorned exteriors were curses, a separate curse for each one. These were delivered anonymously to the royal family...
Who promptly sold them for a quick coin.
For centuries, the pillows have been in circulation, nobody hearing the truth behind them, nobody knowing how they were made, what they held, until it was too late. Now, at last, a descendant of the mage has set himself a goal of destroying the pillows and their curses. His name is Willard Barflu, and he feels the danger presented by the pillows is too great to ignore. Unfortunately, he has let his taxes fall behind, and needs to perform some community service. He has opted to adopt two young children from the orphanage for a time.
Now this small group hunts down the pillows, intent on destroying them. Thenre's a bit of a problem, though: They don't know what curse goes with which pillow, or even what the curses are, exactly...
Now read on, and discover the legacy of...

Sounds nice...
Traveller, they were crafted for the royal family... I'm sure that the materials were pretty high-quality.
I'm sure that they have spells which repel dirt and such on them anyway, otherwise no one would buy them after a century! |

Perhaps the spell that makes them appealing is part of their curse?
That could probably be worked in in some way. |
