Possessions
Due to her period as a slave, Maerad owns very few possessions. What she does have are kept in her travelling pack and include:
- A mystical Lyre, thought to have been created by Nelsor of Afinil. This is inscribed with ancient Runes which form one half of the Treesong. A leather case for the Lyre was also given to her by Cadvan. It appears to be made by the ancient Dhyllin people.
- A book of poems given to her by Dernhil of Gent;
- Ring given to her by Ardina;
- Prior to her imprisonment in Arkan-da, her sword (called Irigan) and helm;
- A coat of chainmail;
- A set of Elidhu-made pipes, used to make music;
- A healing stone given to her by Silvia, a Bard of the School Innail;
- A small statue of a cat she found among the wreckage of the Pilanel travelling group where she first found her brother, Hem;
- After Chapter Two of The Singing, a new sword.

Famous quotes containing the word possessions:
“Does Job fear God for nothing? Have you not put a fence around him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. But stretch out your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.””
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 1:9-11.

“People who get through life dependent on other people’s possessions are always the first to lecture you on how little possessions count.”
—Ben Elton (b. 1959)
“We are told it will be of no use for us to ask this measure of justice—that the ballot be given to the women of our new possessions upon the same terms as to the men—because we shall not get it. It is not our business whether we are going to get it; our business is to make the demand.... Ask for the whole loaf and take what you can get.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
