One Third Umbilical Cord
Description 4
A great relic, also known as the Cord of the Eye. Every
infant Great One has this precursor to the umbilical cord.
Every Great One loses its child, and then yearns for a
surrogate. This Cord granted Mensis audience with Mergo,
but resulted in the stillbirth of their brains.
Use to gain Insight and, so they say, eyes on the inside,
although no one remembers what that truly entails.
Mensis Cage
The School of Mensis controls the Unseen Village.
This hexagonal iron cage suggests their strange ways. The
cage is a device that restrains the will of the self, allowing
one to see the profane world for what it is.
It also serves as an antenna that facilitates contact with the
Great Ones of the dream.
But to an observer, the iron cage appears to be precisely
what delivered them to their harrowing nightmare.
Upper Cathedral Key
The key to the Upper Cathedral Ward seal.
The upper echelons of the Healing Church are formed by the
School of Mensis, based in the Unseen Village, and the Choir
occupying the Upper Cathedral Ward.
This key brings one a step closer to the Choir.
Black Hooded Iron Helm
Iron helmet worn by hunters of the Unseen Village.
The hunters of Yahar'gul answer to the village's founders,
the School of Mensis. Hunters in name only, these
kidnappers wear these black hoods low to shadow their
eyes.
This helm is made of metal, a rarity for hunter garb, and has
high defense, but only against physical attacks.
Yarhar'gul Black Garb
Thick black pullover worn by hunters of the Unseen Village.
The hunters of Yahar'gul answer to the village's founders,
the School of Mensis. Hunters in name only, these
kidnappers blend into the night wearing this attire.
Designed primarily to defend from physical attacks, the
binding of thick rope servers both to protect its wearer, and
restrain his foes.
Yarhar'gul Black Gloves
Thick black gloves worn by hunters of the Unseen Village.
The hunters of Yahar'gul answer to the village's founders,
the School of Mensis. Hunters in name only, these
kidnappers blend into the night wearing this attire.
Designed primarily to defend from physical attacks.
Living String
Special material used in a Holy Chalice ritual.
The immense brain that Mensis retrieved from the nightmare
was indeed lined with eyes on the inside, but they were of
an evil sort, and the brain itself was terribly rotten.
But even still, it was a legitimate Great One, and left a relic.
A living relic, at that, which is a precious thing indeed.

Location: On a Bookshelf on the same floor as the Lunarium Key door:
"When the red moon hangs low, the line between man and beast is blurred. And when the Great Ones descend, a womb will be blessed with child.
