Personal items belonging to a commoner from the River Realms

Lirran Eye pendant: fish and eyes are common iconography in the Lirran faith. The fish is often modeled off of river fish local to the origins of such items. The eye is the standard Eye of Lir - a symbol associated with both the Goddess Lir, the River itself and the first Archking of the River Realms.

Knife with carved bone handle: A brass (brass is a very common metal in the River Realms and neighbouring domains) with a bone handle carved to resemble a pointed ear hare - a common creature inhabiting the Midnight Valley.

Lirran Petals: Petals are the names for coins of smaller denominations used in the River Realms. These ones are made of copper (featuring Lirran religious iconography), brass (featuring the crest of the Archking), and silver (featuring a cameo of the Archking Lothair II).

A brass sickle: wooden handled brass sickle used for harvesting herbs and other plants.

Leather pouch with bone fastener: a simple leather pouch with a stamped decoration featuring the Eye of Lir fish icon. This sort of pouch would be attached to the waist with thick but soft string usually tied in complex knots (the knots usually have some meaning and religious significance to the wearer)

Wooden Flute and case: a simple wooden flute, a common instrument found in the River Realms. Flute based music is very popular in the common traditions of music as well as courtly music.
