Charm and Fetish Descriptions
- Shark Fetish: a shark's tooth, yellowed and polished with age, carved with rows of arrow-shaped markings that point towards the tip - and are dyed scarlet. Worn as hairpin.
- Bass Fetish: a rattle of sorts, a ball of brown curly seaweed with a salt-crusted driftwood handle and a hollowed-out vertebra that contains a pinch of pebbly, gritty sand. Tucked into belt.
- Manta Fetish: A twisted black cord tied around left upper arm. Untied, it unrolls into what seems a slithery, shapeless leathern wiperag. Ominous when it's at the extreme edge of your vision. When you look straight at it, it's just a rag.
- Charms: Various thin strands of seaweed and fishskin, stained bright blue and green and braided into hair.
