Sorrow Glass

"The Shadowfell is a dark and dreary place that threatens to consume every fragment of good in our hearts. Luckily for us Morrigan the Mother of Ravens, Mother of Fate, Mother of Death has blessed her people with a way to protect ourselves from the harshest realities of this plane. I present you a charm made of sorrow glass. It'll keep us safe."
~ Mortis, Acolyte of Life and Death
