Post to track shards passed up due to people driving exceptionally hard bargains and/or wanting to eat our brains:

-One in possession of the Harmonies on Arcadia. We can reclaim this when we have sunk sufficient skill points into Badassery.
-One held by a jerk charonoloth plying the Styx on Hades who demands theoretical children and/or souls as compensation.
