The Kraken's Toll
Seal of the Deep
Wondrous Item · Heirloom · Not for Sale · Given by Kallinikos
Appearance
A palm-sized bronze medallion on a fraying leather cord, engraved with a three-pronged trident encircled by stylized ocean waves. It is always cool to the touch, smells faintly of brine even in a sealed pouch, and hums almost imperceptibly near open water.
Lore
Poseidon’s trident is cut small enough for a palm. Sailors say the deep respects those who remember whose waters they cross — and what tithes are false.
“Keep Poseidon’s mark close. When the sea itself comes to collect, show him you remember whose waters these are.”
— Kallinikos
The Shattered Pact of Ironstone Hills
Bronze Pact Medallion
Wondrous Item · Given by Lykaon
Appearance
A palm-sized disc of dark bronze, engraved on one face with a single eye and on the other with a pair of curved horns, bisected by a lightning bolt — the seal of Hephaestus’s Pact of Ironstone. It hangs warm on a cord of braided goat-hair and copper wire.
Lore
One face for the mountain’s eye, one for the satyr-kin. The forge that sealed the truce still answers when the medallion is raised in good faith.
“By the fire of Hephaestus and the wild of the Hills, I invoke the Pact of Ironstone”

Castalian Coil-Charm
Wondrous Item · Unique
Appearance
Bronze serpent coiled around a spring-drop, hung on a laurel cord — temple charm from Apollo's treasury.
Lore
Branch B Prep. Castalian oil smeared on the charm can prime the orchestra oil-slick interaction without an action in round 1.
“Where Castalia's coil meets Apollo's light, bind the brood before the shed — or the navel drinks serpent-blood at dusk.”
— Apollo's treasury

The Wilting Court
Persephone's Tearstone
Wondrous Item
Appearance
A smooth garnet-red stone, warm to the touch.
Lore
A single garnet tear from the Queen of the Underworld. It does not punish grief — it severs the curse that feeds on it, if pressed to the right sorrow.
“Press my tear to the wound that will not heal. Grief that feeds on sisters must be cut — gently — at the root.”
The Witch of Aeaea
Vial of Moly
Wondrous Item · Given by Emeron
Appearance
A small clay vial, stoppered with black wax, containing milky-white sap from the divine herb moly. A strip of papyrus is tied around the neck.
Lore
Hermes’ herb is milky and unassuming. Against a witch’s table, anointment and a gift to her fire have undone more transformations than any sword.
“Against the witch's power: anoint thyself, pour the rest in her fire. The gods watch.”
— Emeron
