| - Graham collected many treasures over the years both as a Knight and later as a King. The Magic Chest has provided the Kingdom with many riches. Graham is said to have stolen the Magic Chest from a sleeping giant after answering an impossible riddle from a strange spinner, given a magic bean, climbing a giant beanstock created from the bean, during a quest earlier in his years as a knight or early as king. Following his adventure Graham banned spinning wheels in the kingdom as it reminded him too much of the impossible riddles he had to solve. It is possible that at least by the time Graham's entered the tournament that it hadn't yet been stolen (or that it never was stolen, and he stole it from someone else). There is no direct indication it was ever stolen from the kingdom, as Graham's mission was only to find the Magic Mirror, which had clearly been stolen. It was collected on a separate quest (likely 'earlier') he went on a previous year. During his thirties Graham kept the magic chest and magic shield in the royal bedroom, and the mirror was kept in the throne room (as was the case when Alexander was kidnapped). Graham would later keep the magic chest (along with the Shield and other treasures of Daventry) out in the open exposed to the elements in King's Glen for all to see, to show to family and citizens alike. Later Graham saved the magic chest (the magic shield and other treasures) from a mysterious fire that was burning around King's Glen to rescue his legacy. Graham also mentions in Chapter 5 that he would like to go on another quest to find another 'lost treasure' this is also a reference to the lost treasures, and indicates that there maybe more of them than just the three, and that they were likely each separate quests at different points in history.
