Candle of Shadows

The Candle of Shadows is an artifact retrieved from the Tomb of the Seven Thunders by Yoritomo Katoa and brought to the Mantis Clan by Tsuruchi Etsui. The Candle nullifies all attempts at divination at its location when lit. This includes divination by those present with the Candle, as well as divination targeting the Candle's location. Those in the light of the Candle also may not lie. Yoritomo Naizen sent the Candle to the Fox Clan as a gift to help protect them from the Sons of Winter, who were searching for Kitsune Narako. This gift was instrumental in convincing Fox Clan Champion Kitsune Ryukan to join the Fox to the Mantis as the Mantis' fourth family.

Inside the Candle, Tsuruchi Etsui found a small silver baton that concealed two small knives that only he could switch from inside the baton. Any of its other powers are unknown.
