Scrolls, whether they be scrolls of magic, maps or other writings, are common items to find in a fantasy game. They are also fairly fragile items, so finding them in a scroll case is hardly unusual. Here, then, are ten different scroll cases to find them in.

  1. A pale brown scroll case that has been shaped out of a piece of sandstone. One end cap, also made of sandstone, is removable and fits surprisingly snugly.
  2. An expensive-looking case made from silver with flat-cut semi-precious stones, amethyst that has been carefully pieced together on each endcap, and acid-etched vines on the main body.
  3. Carvings of trees decorate the sides of this mahogany scroll case, with each end cap shaped like branches radiating out from a central point.
  4. Decorating the side of this scroll case made from fired red terracotta are bas reliefs of people kneeling before a figure on a throne and presenting them with offerings.
  5. Dirty rags have been stuffed into the ends of this hollowed out yellowed and cracked bone that is being used as an improvised scroll case.
  6. Scrimshaw of ships at sea hunting whales decorates the side of this scroll case that has been craved from a walrus tusk.
  7. The case is made from brass with rotating sections each of which is has symbols carved into it. To open the case, the correct symbols need to be lined up.
  8. The once highly-polished steel of this scroll case is now marred by scratches, with several dents in the side, though the case itself is still sound.
  9. This case is made from white ceramic that has been painted with cherry trees in blue. Both endcaps are solid blue and the glaze is cracked.
  10. This is a crude scroll case made from greenish glass. It was once clearly a bottle, but the top has been broken off and a plug of wood used to block the open end.
