The stone read as the word

Serpentine is what the ocean floor becomes when water works into hot mantle rock — hard stone turned supple enough to carve with simple tools. Whole civilisations used it before they could cut jade.

Cheveril is soft kid leather: strong, but it gives. Sovereignty that never gives cracks. This stone is the other option.

What it is carried for

  • Carried when she must be flexible without becoming weak.
  • Held for a mind that can be shaped without being broken.
