An amulet of pitted antler and sallow bone. It seems to drip with deep violet ink, yet leaves no stain. At some point in the future, this trinket will allow Nightmare Stag entry to Truetopia once more, so that he may consume Gilliard Moreau and be whole once more. In exchange for this pact, the Stag offered refuge to Vance Bonham and his people should the recursion collapse.
Effect
The mark can be activated when given to an individual who doesn’t realize its significance. The next time the victim attempts an important task when the cypher is in their possession, the difficulty of the task is modified by three steps to their detriment.
