The Sealing Drum
A hide-drum beaten to keep count for the ash-sealed barrow's closing rite, carried by Sevda Ash-Tongue as the instrument of a rite she was unmade for knowing.
Taut loper-hide over a bone frame, marked with the ash-closure rune the Cinder Quorum burned off Sevda's left palm for using. Struck in a slow beat in the barrow's antechamber, it keeps the count for the Shutting Rite — the words that latch a broken seal back down, if you know them, and if the dead are willing to be shut in again. It is the most dangerous thing Sevda owns.
