The Heartstone

To be Niküa, whether in body or soul, is to take a part of your home on your voyages as a reminder of those left waiting. This stone serves as an oath to someday return, making one’s family whole and honoring the Tidehearth. The weight of this responsibility bears down upon the shoulders of every true Wayfinder quite literally, as elders carve large, intricate pendants for “unbrined” youngsters before their first expeditions.
