Iron tag
This is an iron tag wired around a husk’s neck, stamped with an unfamiliar mark: a circle crossed by three lines. The party recovered one from the mine, but Torvin did not recognize the symbol. At Hollowpeak, the tags were embedded throughout the creatures controlled by the undersong; when the Watcher’s clasp was restored, every tagged creature dropped where it stood.
