Beneath the Rouge, A Sword - Episode 5

At a rustic home, guests watch as a rumored priceless Night Banquet cloth and chunks of 'jade' are treated as tablecloths and footrests. Lainey nearly falls when a chair leg breaks; locals shrug, calling the jade flimsy. One visitor insists that in Narethia even a fragment could buy a city, provoking debate. Villagers offer to fetch more 'junk' from behind the mountain and hand over pretty river stones as gifts. Inspecting the three highest nearby hills, they learn the peaks are mineral-rich. The episode ends on a tense discovery: are those hills actually gold mines?
