Two thorns of dark amber broken from the Queen's crown. Where they cut, the wound closes over, slowly, like the mere.
Falls from Queen Resinna
Sold by Marit
Sold by Marit
A tapper's spile of old bronze, as long as an arm, the kind driven into the bark to draw the resin out. It draws other things out too: poison, fever, pain.
Falls from Marsh Wisp
A rib of the Entombed's old shell. It warms in the hand the way the beast warmed when it woke.
Royal comb set hard round a core of wax. Held to the light, it is still full of the gold the hive was made for.
Falls from The Hivemother
A rod of clear amber with the Queen's last breath of the old world caught in it. It heals the way amber keeps: gently, and for good.
Falls from Queen Resinna
Honeywood, backed with resin-hardened sinew. The polemen keep one on every causeway gate.
Sold by Marit
Sold by Marit
The mere-folk shot the wildfowl over the water with bows like this, before there was no water and no wildfowl.
Falls from Honey Wasp, Amberwing
Two lengths of the Entombed's horn, joined at the grip with bronze. It draws like a falling tree.
Strung with a thread of royal wax drawn from the Hivemother's own cell. It does not stretch, and it does not forget.
Falls from The Hivemother
Bent from a bough the mere caught in the act of falling. It looses straight and still, as if the world had stopped to let the arrow by.
Falls from Queen Resinna
Cut from a raft that floated Resinholm for a hundred years. It has been in the resin so long the grain has turned to glass.
Sold by Marit
Sold by Marit
A drop of the clearest amber at its head, as big as a fist. Look into it and the light bends round something that is not there.
Falls from Resin Ooze
A leg of the Entombed, still sheathed in the amber it slept in. The cold of an age is caught in it.
A spar of the comb's oldest timber, black with honey that soured in the dark.
Falls from The Hivemother
The sceptre with which Resinna called the resin up from the bottom of the mere. It is still warm, and it still remembers how.
Falls from Queen Resinna
Short and heavy, for work on a causeway where there is no room to swing. Bronze, like everything on the mere that has to last.
Sold by Marit
Cast in Marit's moulds and hammered on the stone pier. The bronze has gone as dark as old resin, and holds its edge the better for it.
Sold by Marit
A sword of the mere-folk, hooked out of the Sinking Reach after an age in the resin. Amber keeps bronze as it keeps everything else: the edge is as it was the day it went under.
Falls from Glassback, Resin Golem; Reward for Glass for the Bronze
Cut from the horn of the Entombed, where the amber had grown into it. It has the weight of something that waited a very long time.
Falls from The Entombed
The Hivemother's sting, as long and as straight as a sword. The venom has gone out of it. The purpose has not.
Falls from The Hivemother
The Queen's own blade, amber grown round a core of bronze. She meant it to keep, not to kill. It does both.
Falls from Queen Resinna
Sold by Marit
Bronze, faced with a plate of glassback shell when Marit can get one. It turns a blade and does not crack in the cold.
Sold by Marit
A plate of the Unhatched's swollen skin, set hard. It was never meant to be armour; it was meant to be a wing.
Falls from The Unhatched
A disc broken from the Queen's Mirror, flawless and clear. Look into it, and you see what lies under you.
Falls from Queen Resinna
Sold by Hidde
Oiled leather with a long brim to keep the drip off your neck when you are working under a pier. Every poleman of Resinholm has one.
Reward for Resin That Walks
Rubbed with old honeycomb until it sheds everything: rain, resin and blows alike.
Falls from Honey Wasp
Sold by Hidde
Hammered round a piece of the Entombed's horn. Nothing on the Glassflats will meet you head on.
Falls from The Entombed
A plate of a golem's brow, set hard over a bronze cap. Whatever strikes it, the amber takes and keeps.
Falls from Resin Golem
The ridge of plates that crowned the Hivemother's head. The wasps of Honeywood will not come near whoever wears it.
Falls from The Hivemother
Resinna's crown of dark amber, broken down to fit a head. The last light of the old world is caught in its points.
Falls from Queen Resinna
Hide boiled in fresh resin until it would drink no more, then hung to set. Hard as horn, light as cloth, and the mere slides off it.
Sold by Hidde
Hide that lay in Hidde's vats until it would drink no more resin, then set like horn. It still smells of the bark.
Reward for Resin for the Vats
Resin-leather lacquered coat on coat with clear amber, polished until it shines like honey in a jar.
Sold by Hidde
Grey wool woven through with threads of amber, so the light falls on what you read. Saskia made it for the reader who would come after her.
Reward for What the Swarm Remembers
Panes of an amberwing's wings stitched over leather, clear as water and harder than they look.
Falls from Amberwing
A plate of the Entombed's own shell, black under its amber. It has outlasted everything that ever struck it.
Falls from The Entombed
Built from the plates of the hive's soldiers, dark as resin. It hums, very faintly, when wasps are near.
Falls from Hive Soldier
Cloth that lay sealed in the Unhatched's cell for an age and took the wax into every thread.
Falls from The Unhatched
Amber worked as thin as cloth and as hard as bronze. It moves the way resin moves: slowly, and then all at once.
Falls from Queen Resinna
Sold by Hidde
Thin leather, worn almost through at the fingertips. Anneke cuts amber in them, to feel the grain.
Reward for Comb for the Cutter
Sold by Hidde
The claws of a mire scorpion, hollowed and lined. They are black to the elbow with the Reach, and will not come clean.
Falls from Mire Scorpion
To the knee and sealed at every seam, so the mere finds no way in.
Sold by Hidde
Plates of glassback shell over resin-leather. The resin lies in them in layers, like the rings of a tree.
Falls from Glassback
Sold by Hidde
Resin-leather to the hip, made for standing in the soft of the Sinking Reach without being taken by it. Wouter's spare pair.
Reward for The Sinking Reach
Soled with the wax of the brood cells. They make no sound at all.
Falls from Brood Grub
Every resin ooze has something caught at its heart. This one had a bead of amber, clear right through.
Falls from Resin Ooze
A drop of clear amber behind a little bronze door, with a seed in it that the mere never let sprout.
Sold by Anneke
A lens of clear amber that Saskia ground herself, on a cord. Through it, the things caught in the mere look close enough to touch.
Reward for Cracks in the Glassflats
The amber heart of one of the Queen's golems. It holds a little of her light, and it is warm.
Falls from Resin Golem
A ball of royal comb from the heart of the hive, hard as amber and still full. When you are close to falling, it holds.
Falls from The Hivemother
A rivet from the bronze of a causeway, beaten into a ring. Every poleman wears one, for luck on the mere.
Sold by Marit
A wasp's wing, sealed in amber the day the mere set, in a band of bronze. Saskia says it is still beating, very slowly.
Reward for The Humming Trees
A mote of marsh-light set in a ring of resin. It wanders a little inside, looking for the soft ground.
Falls from Marsh Wisp
The seal of the reeves of Resinholm: a raft on a mere, cut in bronze. Every reeve has sworn on it to keep the town afloat.
Reward for The Queen's Shore
One of the Entombed's eyes, gone to amber. It opened once, when the beast woke, and has not closed.
Falls from The Entombed
The seal Resinna set on the mere. Turn it to the light and you can see the Swarm inside, still in the air.
Falls from Queen Resinna
Sold by Bryok
Sold by Bryok
A delver's chisel and a delver's pick, ground down into knives when the Tree took the halls and left nothing to dig.
Falls from Shard Spider, Shardstalker
Two of its smaller teeth. They are hollow, and something gold still moves inside them.
Falls from The Heartworm
Two fangs of the Shardmother, glass to the root. A wound they open sets at the edges.
Falls from The Shardmother
Two points broken from his crown of crystal. They were still growing when they came away.
Falls from The Hollow King
Sold by Bryok
Sold by Bryok
The rod a sap-tapper sets into a vein to let the sap out slowly. The wood has drunk so much of it that it is warm in any hand.
Falls from Vein Serpent
Cut from the bank where the Heartworm lay, where the sap runs closest under the wood. Wounds near it close a little faster.
Falls from The Heartworm
Heartwood from the Confluence's floor, the crystal cut back from it. Under the crystal, the wood was still alive.
Falls from The Shardmother
The sceptre the kings of the Deep Holds carried, crusted over with crystal. Under the crystal, the gold of their world is still bright.
Falls from The Hollow King
Rootwood backed with horn from the Deep Holds. The deep folk shot by lamplight in their halls, and still do.
Sold by Bryok
Sold by Bryok
Strung with the gut of something that lived below the Deep Holds. It looses with a note so low you feel it in your chest.
Falls from Deep Moth
A rib of the Heartworm strung with a cord of its gut. When it looses, it sounds like the river.
Falls from The Heartworm
Bent from a strut of her web and strung with a single thread of it. It rings when it looses, like a struck glass.
Falls from The Shardmother
Bent from a beam of the throne the Tree grew for him. It was made to keep a way. It keeps your aim.
Falls from The Hollow King
Sold by Bryok
Sold by Bryok
The delvers walked their halls with these, tapping the walls and listening for crystal. It hums when crystal is near. In the trunk it hums all the time.
Falls from Glowmoss Crawler
Heartwood that lay in the gorge's living sap until it caught. It has burned gold at the head ever since, and the wood is not consumed.
Falls from The Heartworm
A rod of crystal from the Confluence, where every channel of the lower trunk once met. It is cold all the way through.
Falls from The Shardmother
Crystal from the hollow where his heart was. It is colder than anything else in the trunk, and it does not warm in the hand.
Falls from The Hollow King
Sold by Bryok
Forged over Bryok's vat of burning sap. The steel took a gold sheen in the fire that it has never lost.
Sold by Bryok
Forged in the Deep Holds to split stone along its seam, when there was still stone to split. In the trunk it finds the grain of the wood, and of whatever else it meets.
Falls from Rootwight, Crystal Golem; Reward for Shardglass for the Forge
One of the Heartworm's teeth, as long as a forearm and gold to the root with the sap it drank.

A blade drawn out of her crystal thread, fine and hard. It is never quite still in the hand.

The Hollow King's sword: vaultsteel forged for him in the Deep Holds, with the crystal of the Tree grown along it. The steel is still inside.
Falls from The Hollow King
Sold by Bryok
Vaultsteel over heartwood, its rim tempered in the sap until it rang. The deep folk's mark on its face: a lamp inside a ring.
Sold by Bryok
A plate of a glowmoss crawler's back, moss and all. It glows when it is struck.
Falls from Glowmoss Crawler
A plate of the Geodeback's shell: crystal outside and hollow within, as every geode is. Whatever strikes it feels it.

Sold by Talan
Oiled rootweave with a long brim against the moths' dust. The ledge watch wears them on every road out of Deepvault.
Reward for Lamps on the Ledges
Sold by Talan
Woven from a shard spider's thread before it set. Now it rings faintly when you turn your head.
Falls from Shard Spider
Cut from the crown of the Geodeback's shell, the crystal side out. Blows ring off it like a bell.
Falls from The Geodeback
The crown of the kings of the Deep Holds, with crystal grown through its gold. It is too heavy for its size, as crowns are.
Falls from The Hollow King
Root fibre beaten soft and woven tight, as the deep folk wove their ropes. It is light, it does not rot, and it turns a blade.
Sold by Talan
Rootweave over a shirt of vaultsteel rings. What gets through the one stops at the other.
Sold by Talan
Glowmoss felted thick over rootweave, as the moss-gatherers wear it. It glows faintly in the dark, and the damp of the Deeps never gets through.
Reward for Moss in the Deeps
The Heartworm's pale hide, scraped thin and oiled with sap. It is warm, as the river is warm.
Falls from The Heartworm
Plates of a crystal golem's body, dull on the outside and bright where they were broken.
Falls from Crystal Golem
Spun from the Shardmother's thread before it set: lighter than cloth and harder than mail. It sings softly when you move.
Falls from The Shardmother
Crystal from the King's breast, cut thin. In the middle of it there is a hollow the size of a fist, and it is cold.
Falls from The Hollow King
Sold by Talan
Sold by Talan
The crystal-gardeners' gloves: rootweave over palms of shardglass scale. The crystal does not cut through them.
Reward for The Gardens Gone Wild
Bark from a rootwight's arms, shaped round the wrist. It still tightens when you make a fist.
Falls from Rootwight
Gauntlets studded with facets struck from the Geodeback's shell. They bite.
Falls from The Geodeback
Sold by Talan
Soled with root-bark for the bridges' wet wood. Talan climbed under every bridge in the rift in them, when he could still climb.
Reward for The Root Bridges
Sold by Talan
Vein serpent scales over soft leather, gold along the seams where the sap soaked in.
Falls from Vein Serpent
A phial of living sap on a cord, as every tapper wears. While it still moves in the glass, the vein it came from is alive.
Sold by Kerra
A pinch of a deep moth's dust in a stoppered glass. It gives back the gold light the moth drank, a little at a time.
Falls from Deep Moth
A bead of the gorge's living sap, set in heartwood. It is still moving. While it moves, the river does.
Reward for The Last Vein
The ward the King's guard wore at the Heartward, when it still had a guard. When you are close to falling, it holds.
Reward for The Door under the Heartward
A drop of sap that was setting when it was taken, sealed in glass. It stopped halfway, and stays there.
Falls from Stillsap Ooze
A plain ring of the old steel. There is less of it every year, and the deep folk wear what is left of it close.
Sold by Bryok
The band of the wardens who kept the Shard Fields when they were still worth keeping. A sliver of the first great crystal is set in it.
Reward for Where the Crystal Walks
Worn by the keepers of the records since the Deep Holds. Inside the band, in the old letters: WHAT IS STILL IS KEPT.
Reward for Light for the Records
A scale from the Heartworm's throat, gold where the sap ran through it, set in vaultsteel.
Falls from The Heartworm
A shardstalker's eye, cut to a facet and set in a ring. Whatever you look at through it holds still a moment longer.

One of her eyes, gone wholly to crystal. It is at its brightest when something is caught.

The seal the King gave the first reeve of Deepvault. It was found in his own hand on the throne, where he had kept it all along.
Falls from The Hollow King
Sold by Wulfstan

Falls from Snowlurker, Snowcrust Scorpion, Frostbough; Reward for Hearts of Sapice
The tips of two of her legs, hollow and sharper than steel. Rime grows on them even in a warm room.
Falls from The Winter Matron
Two shards of sapice from the heart of the Sapwell, sweet to the tongue and sharp as broken glass.
Falls from The Rimeheart
Two icicles from the Frost Throne that drip, slowly, in the deepest cold. They are the only thing on the Crown that does.
Falls from Hoarfrost, Warden of the Crown
Sold by Wulfstan
Sold by Wulfstan
Cut from a sugar spruce, the tree Wintersap taps. Its sap still rises in it, slow and sweet, even in this cold.
Falls from Snowlurker, Snowcrust Scorpion, Frostbough
A leg of the Matron, hollowed and filled with warm sap. She kept her brood alive through every winter there has been; a little of that keeping is in it.
Falls from The Winter Matron
Gold sap rises in it, slowly, against the cold. Wintersap tapped the bough for this all its life and never found it.
Falls from The Rimeheart
Carried up to the Crown at every spring to send the winter home. It is warm to the hand, as nothing else on the Crown is.
Falls from Hoarfrost, Warden of the Crown
Spruce backed with strips of sledback shell, waxed against the wet. A Roadwarden shoots by lamplight, and seldom twice.
Sold by Wulfstan
Sold by Wulfstan

Falls from Snowlurker, Snowcrust Scorpion, Frostbough
Strung with a single strand from the heart of her nest, frozen as hard as wire. It sings in the cold.
Falls from The Winter Matron
Bent from the ice that sealed the Sapwell. Its string is a thread of sap that never set.
Falls from The Rimeheart
Bent from a spire of the Crown of Frost and strung with something colder than sinew. Its arrows leave rime hanging in the air behind them.
Falls from Hoarfrost, Warden of the Crown
Spruce shod with iron, of the kind the Roadwardens drive into the snow to mark the road. Out in the Drifts it has marked a few graves as well.
Sold by Wulfstan

Broken from the lip of the Icefalls, where the sap froze in the act of falling. It is still trying to fall.
Falls from Snowlurker, Snowcrust Scorpion, Frostbough
Spruce wound in her frost-silk until the silk was thicker than the wood. Frost gathers along it like breath on glass.
Falls from The Winter Matron
A shaft of the Sapwell's ice with the last of its sap frozen at the core. Cold pours off it like water off a fall.
Falls from The Rimeheart
The staff Hoarfrost carried down from the Crown every winter to call the snow. The snow still comes when it is lifted.
Falls from Hoarfrost, Warden of the Crown
Plain rimesteel, the blade every Roadwarden carries into the Drifts. It has cut more snow than anything else.
Sold by Wulfstan
Sold by Wulfstan
A long, straight blade the sapice cutters used to free blocks of frozen sap from the cave walls. It goes into ice as if ice were water.
Falls from Snowlurker, Snowcrust Scorpion, Frostbough
One of her fangs, set in a hilt and ground to an edge. It is cold enough to burn a hand that has not learned it.
Falls from The Winter Matron
A blade of the ice that grew round the Sapwell's heart, gold sap frozen in its core. It does not melt, and it does not dull.
Falls from The Rimeheart
Cut from the ice of Hoarfrost's arm. The old song says the winter ends when this blade is drawn. It has been drawn.
Falls from Hoarfrost, Warden of the Crown
Sold by Wulfstan
A sledback's shell, curved like a runner and rimmed with iron. Blows slide off it the way a sledge slides on snow.
Falls from Sledback
Sold by Wulfstan
A slab of the throne itself, cut to an arm's length. What strikes it is struck back by the cold.
Falls from Hoarfrost, Warden of the Crown
Sold by Wenna
Fur at the brim and a scarf sewn to the back. A Roadwarden can stand a whole night out in the Drifts in it, and some have had to.
Reward for Warmth-drinkers
A hood dusted with a snowmoth's scales. Snow will not settle on it, and eyes slide off it.
Falls from Snowmoth
Sold by Wenna
Three leaves from the Frozen Boughs, still red under the rime, bound on a band of sledge-iron. They have not thawed in a lifetime.
Reward for The Frozen Leaves
An icebore's head-plate, ridged along the crown where it splits the ice before it like a wedge.
Falls from Icebore
The plate over the Deepsting's eyes, blue-black and cold as the deep ice. Through its slits the dark looks a little less dark.
Falls from The Deepsting
A ring of the icicles that grew from Hoarfrost's brow. It is cold, it does not melt, and it weighs nothing at all.
Falls from Hoarfrost, Warden of the Crown
Sold by Wenna
Waxed hide over quilting, made for the sapice cutters who worked all day in the caves under the Crown. The cold runs off it like rain.
Reward for The Falls That Walk
White snowfur over quilting. It weighs nothing, and nothing gets through it: not the cold, and not much else.
Sold by Wenna
Snowfur, layer on layer, white as the snow it was taken in. In the Drifts a Roadwarden wearing it is lost to sight at twenty paces.
Reward for Snowfur
White fur from her back, so thick a blade loses itself in it. It is warm, and it is never quite still.
Falls from The Winter Matron
Bark from a frostbough, frozen to the heart and hard as iron. It creaks in the cold like a tree at night.
Falls from Frostbough
Falls from Hoarfrost, Warden of the Crown

Wulfstan's own: sledback shell on the palms, snowfur inside. They grip a runner, or a hilt, in any cold.
Reward for Runners for the Sledges
Sold by Wenna
Bands of a snowlurker's frozen silk wound round the hands. They never thaw, and neither does what they hold.
Falls from Snowlurker
Sold by Wenna
Broad-soled for the snow crust of the Hoarfrost Fields, so a walker does not break through it and wake what sleeps beneath.
Reward for Under the Crust
Sold by Wenna
Plates of clear ice from an icefall golem's legs, set on leather. They do not melt, and they do not crack.
Falls from Icefall Golem
Plates of sapice over iron. Gold shows through the ice whenever the light is on it.
Falls from The Rimeheart
A brass locket with a crumb of sap-sugar sealed inside. Every child in Wintersap is given one on their first Midwinter.
Sold by Ebba
A bead of water from the last thaw before Midwinter, sealed in glass. It has never frozen. Hild says that while it stays water, so will we.
Reward for The Door Under the Crown
A drop of sapfrost, half ice and half sap, that will not finish freezing. Wintersap's healers swear it quickens the hand.
Falls from Sapfrost
The Rimeheart's core: the first sap of the high boughs, frozen in a bead of ice. Worn at the throat, it will not let the cold take you while it lasts.
Falls from The Rimeheart
Cut from a sledge runner's iron, worn thin on a thousand miles of road and forged again.
Sold by Wulfstan
The tip of a snowcrust sting, set in iron. It is always colder than the hand that wears it.
Falls from Snowcrust Scorpion

Reward for Lights on the Ridge
A loop of her frost-silk, frozen into a ring. Whatever it touches, it holds a little longer.
Falls from The Winter Matron
A ring of the green glass the fallen lights leave behind. On the long nights it glows, faintly, when the lights are out.
Falls from Fallen Light
A sapice cutter's ring, found in the Deepsting's nest. The cutters shut the door on the caves after the Silence. Not all of them were on the right side of it.

Falls from Hoarfrost, Warden of the Crown
For those who go over the wall at night, where a long blade would catch the light.

The short rod the keepers carry a light up the tower stair on. It is warm at the tip.
Sold by Joran
Sold by Joran
The rod of office of the chroniclers of Lastlight, last carried by Clement's master. It mends what it touches, as the chronicle once mended what was forgotten.

Ashwood from the Grey Boughs, backed with horn. The towers of Lastlight keep a rack of them at every stair.
Sold by Joran
Sold by Joran
Strung with a thread of the Grey Binder's silk. When it looses, nothing is heard at all: not the string, not the arrow, not the end of it.

Falls from The Hollow Knight
Falls from The Hollow Knight
Shod in iron at the foot and blackened at the head, from years of stirring the beacon fires.
Sold by Joran
Sold by Joran

Joran folds a thread of the Old Company's iron into the grey. You can see it in the edge, like a vein of light.
Sold by Joran
Falls from Ash Golem; Reward for Iron of the Old Company
The chroniclers kept it in the vault beneath the Inkwell, with a page that said what it was for. The page is blank now. The sword is not.

Falls from The Hollow Knight
Sold by Joran
Painted with the beacon of the Vigil, though the ash has greyed the paint until only the shape is left.

The slab of slate a stack warden carried before it like a reading desk. There are words cut into the back of it. Nobody can read them now.
Falls from Stack Warden
Falls from The Hollow Knight
Sold by Mabyn
The Vigil's beacon-keepers wear them, the visor smoked dark against the glare of the fire they climb up to.
Reward for The Ashen Approach
A hood of ashsilk with a mask sewn in. The ash slides off it, and your breath stays your own.
Sold by Mabyn
Lined with dust moths' wings, grey on grey. In the Grey Boughs, the eye slides off it.
Falls from Dust Moth
Stitched from the Archive's vellum, scraped and written over and scraped again. In the right light, three different hands show through.
Falls from Vellum Moth
Vellum leaves pressed into a circlet, every one of them empty. Wearing it, you think more clearly, as if something had been taken out of the way.
Falls from The Unwritten
Falls from The Hollow Knight
Quilted grey linen over plates of iron. It smells of smoke, as everything in Lastlight does.
Sold by Mabyn
Woven from the pale striders' silk, as fine as cloth and as hard to cut as mail. Mabyn will not say how many keepers it took to gather.
Sold by Mabyn
Reward for The Keep of the Old Company
Found whole in a strider's web in the towers of the Fallen Keep, woven by no hand, white as a bone in the sun.
Falls from Pale Strider
What was left of the Hollow Choir when its song ended: a grey veil that moves when there is no wind, and is never quite still.
Falls from The Hollow Choir
Black as the Inkwell, and words still move in its folds, too small and too many to read.
Falls from The Unwritten
Sold by Mabyn
Sold by Mabyn
Carved from the heartwood of a witherwalker. The wood is dead; something in it still wants to mend.
Falls from Witherwalker
Odile's own. They have dug more graves in the Bone Orchard than she will say, and closed every one.
Reward for Diggers in the Orchard
Keep-iron run out of the burning walls and set in the ash in the shape of two hands. Joran only had to add the straps.
Falls from Ash Golem

Falls from Inkwyrm
Gauntlets that came out of the Barrens' silence and kept some of it. Nothing they strike makes a sound.

Sold by Mabyn
Sold by Mabyn
Soled with the last of the old ashsilk. They make no sound at all, which out past the walls is just as well.
Reward for Thread for the Walls
Plates of a drift scorpion's shell, grey as the ash it slept under and nearly as hard as keep-iron.
Falls from Drift Scorpion
Plated with the legs of a bone centipede, jointed like a hand. Odile would rather you did not wear them in the orchard.
Falls from Bone Centipede
Grey silk off the Grey Binder's lines, wound tight round the foot. Nothing holds them for long.
Falls from The Grey Binder
A locket of grey glass with a spark of the Hearth inside it. Lastlight gives them to children, so that they are never in the dark.
Sold by Mabyn
An ember from the Hearth of Lastlight, sealed in grey glass the year the ash began. It has never gone out.
Reward for Deadwood for the Fire
The silver clasp that closed the chronicle of Lastlight while Clement's master kept it. Worn on a chain, it holds things together.
Reward for The Word at the Door
A hushstone on a cord. Somewhere inside it, a great many voices are singing, and when you are close to falling, they sing louder.
Falls from The Hollow Choir
A ring of grey iron, quenched in the Last Forge. Joran makes one for every climber who asks, and does not say how many he has made.

Reward for Voices in the Barrens
The seal of the Vigil: a beacon on a wall. It goes to those who keep the beacons burning.

A ring of violet glass, cold as the shade it was found in. Hold it to your ear, and it is quiet in a way nothing else is.
Falls from Shade Wisp
A ring of the Binder's silk, wound round and round until it is as hard as horn. It holds what it is given.
Falls from The Grey Binder
