The Bells of the Faithful

History

There is a belief, among the worshippers of the Weaver, that the sound of chiming bells is something like worship, or an offering, to her. As the goddess of fate and change, she is thought by some to watch over the winds. As bells in Xillick were originally used to signal the changing, or presence, of the winds, many consider these now to be sacred to the goddess. The hope of those who wear them is that the Weaver will bless them in their pursuits and that if they should fail in those, or worse, fall, that the bells will be heard by the Weaver and her other faithful, and that aid will come to them.

Execution

Bracelets, anklets, or occasionally circlets are worn by traveling Followers. Attached to these articles are small bells, either golden or silver in color, that tinkle and chime with the movement of the wearer.

Components and tools

Small bells, silver or gold (usually gold) in colour, bands of leather or thin, crafted metal. Loops with which to attach the bells; again, either leather or ornate metal.

Observance

These bells are usually worn by traveling members of the Weaver's faithful, though other worshippers embarking on important tasks may choose to don them also.
