Brass Compass

An ordinary looking compass made of brass. The inner lid is painted with a beautiful green meadow of wildflowers. Goldbelly Mountain can be seen in the background.

The compass is functional and can be useful on expeditions. It originally belonged to Gulpax.

In the spirit of friendship, I also loaned him [Landrus] my compass. Though the item is quite useful in a pinch, it is technically cursed. - (GS-Journal)
