    Item Type: Necklace, cufflinks, or cloak-pin


    Worn By: Every Stormborne sibling, child, or descendant
    Origin: The Ash Grove, c. 410 AD
    Maker: Leofric (then known as Lore)

    Long before kings wrote laws and priests wrote scripture, the Stormborne family carried only one form of protection the Moon-Star Sigil, a small charm worn close to the skin.

    Leofric, the scribe and warlock of the family, carved the first charm from rowan wood, binding it with iron dust and ash from the sacred grove. The design came to him in a dream.

    The crescent moon for memory and foresight.

    The star for protection and the five truths of the Old Ways.

    The laurel leaves for lineage and victory.

    The wooden tablet for the bond of blood and oath.

    It was said that no Stormborne wearing the sigil would fall unnoticed, unavenged, or forgotten.

    Thunorric wore his as a neckpiece, tied with leather from his first wolf pelt.
    Dægan later commissioned iron cufflinks bearing the same sigil when he served the kings of Mercia.
    Eadric’s children carried them as belt tokens, and Rægenwine hung his above the inn d the threshold.

    Every Stormborne generation crafted their own variations, but the meaning never changed:

    “Moon to guide us. Star to guard us. Leaves to bind us. Wood to ground us.
    Stormborne, alway.
