The Market-Day Laugh
A small bronze charm cast in the shape of a laughing child, bought and sold a hundred times around the Tidewrack coast — folk say it carries a little of whatever household's good luck it was cast in, and it warms a hard room for whoever carries it.
Not every keepsake marks a grief. This one, someone's grandmother swears, was cast the year a market day went so well and so bright that a whole street had charms made to remember it by — most melted down for scrap since, one still going hand to hand. It is the Gaunt Ledger's favourite stock — cheap to come by, dear to part with, and it does what no relic of war can: people like you better with it in your pocket, and can't quite say why. Some call that the Good Neighbor's leftover favor, riding along in the bronze from whichever hearth cast it; most just call it a lucky charm and leave it at that. The only trinket in the Vale anyone is glad to carry.
