Talisman: Apirka Trom

What is Apirka's Talisman? 

Apirka's Talisman is a warm, red, hooded short-cloak, with a buckle holding it on, and a short string of semi-precious gems.

Why is Apirka taking it with her? 

The cloak is the last gift her mother gave her - read as: pressed upon her - before she left home. The talisman was a highly pragmatic gift, as it is warm, hard to lose, and the gems could be used in lieu of money if Apirka should end up having a hard time of it. Even in her absence, Ceibfhionne wants the best for her daughter, and seeks to protect her.
