*'''Medical Bag''': A worn, weathered leather bag stocked with a mix of mundane healing supplies—herbs, bandages, tinctures—and discreet magical components, including enchanted salves and arcane powders. It's always within reach, blending practicality with the secrets of her lineage.
*'''Careworn Satchel''': Near-black and shiny from decades of wear and handling, this satchel contains all of Jones' navigational tools, and her secure logbook. Secreted in pouches within are preserved snacks, whatever coin she can muster, and a crude doll of her father, Constance.


*'''Handwritten Journal''': An ancient leather-bound journal passed down through her family, containing the handwritten entries of five generations of Hawke matriarchs. Each entry details their struggles, discoveries, and the dark burden of their pact. Eliza often consults it for guidance, feeling the weight of her ancestors with every page turned.
*'''Ageless Astrolabe''': This old brass thing, oxidized black except for the parts that are polished from handling, has long since fallen out of favor as a navigational aide, but Jones knows how to make it sing.


*'''Her Mother’s Rapier''': The same rapier that took her mother’s life, now honed to an unnervingly sharp edge. Eliza carries it as both a weapon and a reminder of her unfinished quest for vengeance. The blade almost hums with the desire for retribution, yearning for the blood of her mother's killer.
*'''Battered Telescope''': Brass, dented and scuffed from long use, but still good. You have to know how to telescope it, though: its injuries and indignities have complicated the once-simple process. Its collapsable tripod is in better shape.


*'''Tarnished Hand Mirror''': A small, silver hand mirror, once beautiful but now dulled with age. Whenever Eliza glances into it, the reflection of the ancient spirit looms just behind her shoulder, a constant reminder of the pact and the lurking danger of breaking it.
*'''Constance the Doll''': Crudely but lovingly handmade by Ellie, the woman who was a mother to her, so that even when she was far from her dear father he could still be with her. Though she's long since outgrown the need for the doll, she can't bring herself to get rid of it.


*'''Silver Pocket Watch''': An intricately engraved watch passed down through the family, with strange arcane symbols hidden within the mechanics.
*'''Roxani's Cutlass''': Given to her by the old navigator she apprenticed to, because "a young lady needs to be able to defend herself." Indifferent in construction, it's seen better days. The grip needs to be restitched. But the balance is decent and the blade is sharp.
 
*'''Charts of the Planets and Stars''': Folded to the point of being creased, the vellum is oily from continuous handling. Another of Roxani's gifts, these maps contain everything needed to navigate on Earth, and through the Solar System. Jones handles them with exquisite care, and she keeps them in an oilcloth wrap to protect them.
