Symbol of the Society of Bard

A copper coin cut in half and usually made into a neckless, brooch or ring. But sometime there more inventive ways to hold it. Each way it is displayed and worn it means a different thing.

• In a ring and you put a your hand in site (discreetly) of another member it means you want to speak quietly and discreetly
• Half a coin as part of a neckless with the string chain put through a simple hole it means you are a member. But it is always has to be worn with another half coin or you could be considered a target.
• If you have a fancy Brooch around on your left chest it usually means how high in society you are in hanging in fancy society. But if it's not fancy it usually means your poor or just hanging around in taverns and slummy areas.

A common way to pick a target is to make sure your target is at a place you are performing or you are performing at a place the are at. Then you find a way in your song, Poetry or story telling to bring in the neckless at put around there neck. On the back there is a slightly sharp (small thorn sized) bit of metal with a bit of poison on which you "accidently" scratch them and it will slowly kill them.  Alternatively  you team up with up with someone and you use the neckless to identify them for a killing, beating or kidnapping. If you can start a punch up to distract people it makes it easyier.
