Silent Bell
Description
This valuable item of priestly regalia is usually crafted in the form of a bell, gong, chime or other musical instrument designed to be struck. In some places, especially Wintermark and The Brass Coast it may be made in the form of a small drum, or even a rattle. Despite the name, it is usually quite capable of making a noise - its common name comes from the idea that the bell is experienced on a spiritual level as well as a gross, physical level. It grants additional power to ceremonies that purify spiritual auras or that drive away dark forces.
A Silent Bell is often crafted of greensteel, and decorated with symbols of Vigilance, Wisdom and Courage or with designs appropriate to the faith as a whole, especially the seven-fold labyrinth.
