Tears of the First Emperor

The Tears of the Emperor are strange chips of jade which have been guarded by the wifes of the Doji Daimyo throughout history, a tradition that started with the wife of Doji Nio. There are over thrity chips contained in a fine silk pouch, and each chip is shaped into an intricate teardrop. Each also have carvings of miniscule protraits of cranes one them. The exact properties of the tears are unknown, although it is known they can remove the Shadowlands taint from someone who is willing to be purified. (Crane p. 109)
