ITEMS · THE MIRRENMERE
The First Draw Chord
Half of a measuring chord whose knots slide into new places when stretched over old Vyr foundations.
The cord is woven from pale strands that neither rot nor take water. Its knots are fixed in the hand, but under strain they creep until each rests above a buried footing. The cut end is clean and dark, made to lock into the Last Return Chord rather than to be tied.
