A slender cloak pin in the shape of an open eye within a crescent mask. The back is smooth, etched faintly with a seven-pointed star. When held in silence, it hums softly — like breath behind velvet.
Function
Once, the bearer may choose one of the following:
- Call In a Favor
Present the pin to someone with Velvet Court ties and speak: “By Avae’s silence.”
The target is magically compelled (or socially bound) to offer a favor, critical information, or safe passage — assuming they value their standing with the Court.
- Activate the Mask
Crush the pin as a reaction to danger.
You immediately cast Mislead (self only), without concentration. The illusion lasts 1 minute. No components are required.
After Use
- The pin disintegrates into silver dust.
- But Avae warns that somewhere, quietly, "they'll know it has been used. I wouldn't stick around any longer than absolutely necessary."
