Inside, whenever he decided to open it, he would find a handful of red rocks (some carnelian, some just random colored stones she found) and a wooden pendant attached to a black cord with a green stone in the center.

"Did I ever tell you about the Everliving Tree?" She said without much preamble. "It's, essentially, the God tree of my homeland. It's where the Sylvan Forest began to form to shield the elves from the dangers of the world. It's very important to me - and that pendant is made of some of its wood."
