The Drow War Book Two. The Dying Of - RoseRed

notorious By the Time You Read This We Will Be Cutting
Your Throat. Between themselves, the Harriers usually
shorten the ship’s name, in the same way that friends
and family use a shortened version of a person’s name
when talking to or about them.
The Witchcompass: Every Sea Harrier ship has a
Witchcompass, a sphere of glass that contains a sliver of
wood from the Celebration, floating on mercury. The
Witchcompass points unerringly to the Celebration, no
matter how far away it is, so long as it is on the same
plane. This allows the Harriers to keep their mothership
on the move.
The Blood-Jewel: All Sea Harriers own a blood-jewel,
a gem that they are given when they are first immersed
in the ocean and given a name. This gem, usually a
ruby, is typically worth between 500 and 2,000 gold
pieces. Sea Harriers believe that it houses the soul.
When a Harrier dies, his blood-jewel is passed back
to the amma hadrak, who performs a ritual to free the
spirit and let it move on.
