“Agreed. But it may not all be natural talent,” said Gollaon waxing a bow string.
“Ah, you noticed the amulet too,” grinned Voddick.

Heart of Battle
These amulets are made from the fragment of a hero’s heart that has been magically turned to crystal after their death, some are just the shard on a chain, others set the crystal in precious metal decorated with other gems. The crystal faintly glows and once it has been worn for a day and a night, it flickers in tune to the wearer’s heartbeat.
