Editing LeviathanTempest:ChapterThree (section)

==== Heirloom (O to OOOOO) ====
Your character has some physical artifact that is a rememberence of the Tribe or the Tribe's lost civilization. It might be an art object or everyday tool, but it is generally unsuitable for its original task - too brittle or too precious to make use of. Its primary role, instead, is its ability to resonate with the bloodline of the Tribe, stirring the remnants of Ichor inside a Leviathan. A member of the Tribe may regain Ichor through meditating with the object in hand. This requires a Composure + Occult roll representing ten minutes of meditation. One point of Ichor is regained per success, to the limit of the Heirloom. A given Heirloom can provide one point of Ichor per dot before becoming "dull", and its available pool is recharged each week. Each Heirloom recharges on a different day at a different time, but the overwhelming majority are refuelled on Friday, at sunset, a source of some speculation among members of the Tribe.  

The average Heirloom is Size 1 or 2. Rumors abound of larger Heirlooms which can provide far greater amounts of Ichor, or which have additional mystic traits, but these are not readily available as Merits. 

===== Sidebar: That Belongs in a Museum! =====
Leviathans aren’t the only ones with interest in Heirlooms; Marduk always keeps an eye open and Mystical orders such as the Aegis Kai Doru are frequently tempted either by what they could learn or an Heirloom’s practical applications as a mystical talisman. Private collectors, archaeologists and museums also have a stake in owning an Heirloom. Despite this Heirlooms tend to cause little stir among those not in the know: vanishingly few Heirlooms predate known civilisation, most come much more recent exploits of the Tribe and aren’t markedly distinct from entirely human artefacts of the period. It’s unsure what exactly would happen if regular academics did get hold of a Heirloom that predated Tiamat’s death, such a discovery could rewrite known history but only if it wasn’t snatched by Leviathans, Marduk or some other party. It would certainly make an interesting story.
