The Bloodline Opal is a large stone with a red gash running down the side. It is a prized Rutherford family heirloom held in the vault of Rutherford Castle. It is protected by a recently installed portcullis, that can only be opened by a lever in Lord Ember's chamber,[1] and a vault door that can only be opened with one of the Rutherford Medallions.
Bickering Nobles[]
The opal was the subject of a dispute between Julian and Ember Rutherford. An archery contest had taken place in which Lord Julian had supposedly won by a small margin, making him the rightful heir, but Lord Ember did not relinquish it. Julian made plans to steal the opal in Checking Inn, Cashing out, but is thwarted by the loss of his medallion.[2]
Unbeknownst to both, the opal is also coveted by Lady Elizabeth, a murderess, who plans upon becoming the widow of the victor.[3]

In the mission "End of the Bloodline", Garrett steals the opal, but complications arise when Lady Elizabeth comes looking for him and Heartless Perry is unwilling to take the opal.[4][5] Perry advises Garrett to takes it to Bertha in Stonemarket which he does and, according to Bertha, "the best stonecutters in the City (are) waiting to cut it up".[6]
