The Orlmarthing have a number of ancient treasures. The clan holds them for the good of all, but dispenses them to its representatives in times of need. The exact effect depends as much on the ability of the wielder and the number of participants in the ritual as the power of the item. Most of these items have been with the clan for generations (or even ages):
Eye Mirror (Improves the effectiveness of our patrols).
Farwalk Sandals (Tough old sandals that lend clan magic to travel or quests).
Heler's Drinking Horn (Warriors who drink mead from the horn before battle are staunch and resolute in battle).
Lightning Band (An armband studded with Yavor Lightning runes. Wearing the band gives the wearer the ability to hurl lightning bolts from his spear tip).
Orane's Splendorbread Oven (Allows the clan to bake loaves of Splendorbread on Ernaldavarandi - Orlanth's Holy Day - from wheat and honey).
Orane's Spindle (Spins fine wool yarn and binds the families of the clan together. Helps keep peace between the bloodlines).
Red-leather Mask (Helps overcome skepticism)
Star Torch (An ever-burning magic torch that grants clan leaders cunning and strength)
Thunderer's Wagon (this huge oak wagon has 6-foot diameter wheels and needs four oxen just to draw it. A wooden statue of Orlanth Thunderous rides in the cart. The godi wheel the wagon around the tula on Thunder Day and Protection Day to obtain the blessing of the Thunderer. It will summon an angry thunder storm to the tula if it is wheeled around on any other day).
Flock of Woodpeckers (a sacred flock of woodpeckers reside within the tula and provide the blessings of the clan wyter. The wyter can be transferred to the Woodpecker Banner to be taken out of the tula).
Two clan treasures are of more recent history:
Ferdinand the Bull (A really fine bull, who sires more calves than normal)
The Sky Bull (A magical flying bull who increases the fertility of the herds).
