Feather of Ma'at

Gnosis 5

Originally a creation of the Silent Striders, the Striders have been known to share this fetish with Half-Moons of other tribes who've been a great aid to Owl's children. the feather can be of various forms, from an ostrich plume to a raven's quill. When a Philodox is speaking to someone, she "applies" the feather against the truth of their speech by tossing it into the air. If the feather sinks to the earth, it "weighs" more than the words of the person speaking; they are being truthful. However, if the speaker is lying, the feather remains floating; their words are too "heavy." Should the werewolf using the feather fail to activate it, the default is that the feather falls to the ground...and she may not realize she's hearing lies.
