Gordia

When Grimluk and his family fled the evil Pale Queen, they carried with them all their most prized possessions. There was a thin, bedbug-ridden mattress; a cook pot with actual metal handles; a small hatchet with a sharpening stone; a jar of bold ale; a tinderbox containing a piece of rock, a sliver of steel, and a tiny bundle of dry grass; Gelidberry’s sewing kit, consisting of a thorn with a hole in one end, a spool of cow tail-hair thread, and a six-inch-square piece of wool; the family spoon; and finally, a lump of clay shaped like the family’s goddess, Gordia, a fat woman with a giant mouth.
