Everly's mantis prayer mat, etched with invisible words that were among her only companions in the dungeon.
Everly carried a prayer mat bearing invisible etched words. Reflecting on how alone she chose to be, she counts her only companions in the dungeon as her hired NPCs — see Everly's Mercenaries — and "the invisible words etched on her prayer mat." The mat ties her to the religious side of Sward Mantis culture, where The Inevitable Ruin ends in begging God's forgiveness for not having sacrificed enough for the colony.
It is her one link to the faith and people she walked away from, kept even as she refused every offer of help from The Mantids.
A portable mantis prayer mat whose scripture is etched invisibly into its surface.
Emblem of Everly's private faith and of the companionship she substituted for actual allies.
