Jacoby hissed, snatching Joselyn’s hand away as she reached for a low-
hanging fruit. The ogre glared at her with his one good eye, the other lost in
a nest of scar tissue. He didn’t squeeze her hand, but his grip on her was as
inescapable (and as uncomfortable) as an iron manacle.
“What did I tell you?” he asked.
“But it looks so-” Joselyn started, her cat-like tail whipping back and forth
behind her knees.
“Repeat what I said to you,” Jacoby said. “Before I agreed to take you on
this fool’s errand.”
Joselyn looked up at him, widening her eyes and letting them gleam. She
even lowered her ears, trying to look contrite. When Jacoby’s resolve didn’t
waver, she sighed, and let her head drop.
“Don’t touch anything,” she said. “No matter how good it looks, no matter
how sure you are that you know what it is, keep your claws off the briars.”
“Good to see those big ears of yours can listen, even if the rest of you can’t,”
the ogre grunted, releasing his hold on Joselyn’s hand. She glared at him,
licking at the fur to get it to lay down properly again.
“My ears are not big,” she said, with enough of a hiss to let Jacoby know
he’d poked a sensitive spot.
Jacoby ignored her, leaning on the staff he carried. It looked like a shepherd’s
crook, and the scratches down the wood showed he’d used it to keep claws
and teeth away from him more than once. He turned that fearsome glare
onto tall bushes that flanked the trod. If the Hedge was bothered, it gave
no sign. Taking his staff in both hands, Jacoby rooted around in the bush,
grunting as he hooked and twisted the crook. Something snapped, and he
pulled out a bunch of berries. They were a light, minty blue, and even from
where she stood Joselyn could smell the scent coming off of them. The ogre
snapped off three of the berries, putting one in his mouth and two in the
breast pocket of his vest of patches. The rest he tossed to Joselyn, who caught
them without even thinking about it.
“Eat them slowly,” Jacoby said, turning back the way they’d been going
and setting off again. “Sweet nothings will give you a tummy ache if you pop
them like grapes.”
Joselyn had the bunch most of the way to her mouth, but she paused.
Jacoby hadn’t made a joke or cracked a smile since she’d met him. He took
everything seriously, and the Hedge most seriously of all. So she broke off
a single berry, and put it on her tongue as if it would explode. Then she bit
into it, and felt the impossible sweetness fill her mouth. Purring, savoring
the flavor, she hurried to catch up with her guide before he left her behind.
And she told herself, very sternly this time, not to let the Hedge distract her.
Even if the fruit looked soft, shiny and delicious. Those weren’t the sort of
games she needed to be playing..

100 (Mostly) Harmless Goblin Fruits
and Oddments to Find in The Hedge
The Hedge is a dangerous place, filled with deadly
creatures, hungry plants and bizarre relics lost to time
and legend. It is an ever-changing nightmare that stands
between the mortal world and the world of Arcadia. How-
ever, there are useful things to be found in the Hedge,
too. Strange fruits that put mortal foods to shame. Roots
that can suck out poison. Flowers that cure diseases.
100 (Mostly) Harmless Goblin Fruits and Oddments to Find in The Hedge
Creepers that can be worn like armor, and thorns that
can be wielded like swords.
Goblin fruits and oddments come in a dizzying ar-
ray, and just like the Hedge itself there is always more to
find. The following examples can be used to add flavor-
ful options, or even useful tools, to your Changeling: The
Lost chronicle!

 The Fruits of the
Poisoned Tree
1. Hansel Stones: Found in small handfuls in the
Hedge, these white, oblong seeds are hard as stone, and
large enough to fill a child’s hand. More than that, they
always seem to draw the eye. Named for the fairy tale
about the lost children in the woods, Hansel stones help
someone find their way back through the Hedge with-
out getting lost. The Hansel stones must be activated
by spending one point of glamour while one is near a
landmark in the Hedge (a hollow, a gateway to the real
world, a goblin market, etc.). Every few dozen steps the
changeling must stop, glance over their shoulder at the
last stone they dropped, and drop another at their feet.
No matter how many stones they’ve dropped, or how far
they’ve walked, there always seems to be a few more in
their pocket. While the magic of the Hansel stones is
active, they act as a temporary guideline in the ever-shift-
ing Hedge, adding +2 dice to dice pools to navigate the
Hedge in order to retrace one’s steps back to where they
came from.
2. Tealips: Easily mistaken for simple flowers at a
glance, tealip petals are hard and crunchy. Additionally,
the flower gathers dew from the Hedge, allowing it to
steep inside the petals like a tiny cup. Though drinking
from a tealip quenches one’s thirst, the tiny cup of dew
often provides a single point of glamour to a drinker as
well. Not all tealips are the same, though. Some have
steamy brews that need to be allowed to cool once they’re
plucked, while others boast a fizzy drink that tickles one’s
nose. Some are bitter, some are sweet, and it’s even pos-
sible to pick a bad cup that will steal a point of glamour
when one pricks their fingers on the flower’s thorns. A
success on an Intelligence + Occult roll will tell a change-
ling whether a given tealip is safe or not, and three suc-
cesses will allow them to determine precisely what the
effects of a given tealip will be.
3. Sweet Nothings: Fat, pale blue berries that feel
like they’re full of juice, sweet nothings can sustain some-
one just as if they’d eaten a full, nourishing meal. It’s a
trick, though, and the next day it’s like they never ate
anything at all. While sweet nothings will hold off the
penalties and weakness of hunger and thirst as long as
someone eats a handful of them a day, they won’t sustain
life past the point where not eating or drinking will kill
someone. In a pinch, though, they can keep a changeling
one step ahead of the huntsmen... for a while, at least.
4. Compass Rose: These white flowers are easy to
miss for those who don’t know precisely what they’re
looking for. While they may look similar to pedestrian
roses, the petals are always perfectly symmetrical, and if
one leans in to smell the flower, they find it has the salt
smell of the sea. At the cost of a drop of blood and a
8 100 (Mostly) Harmless Goblin Fruits and Oddments to Find in The Hedge
point of glamour, the flower’s petals turn red and fan
out. A compass rose gives one their current bearing in
the Hedge (with Arcadia replacing magnetic north), pro-
viding +2 dice to their next attempt to navigate the Hedge
using Survival. Once plucked out of the ground a com-
pass rose becomes useless, as it requires a connection to
the Hedge itself for its magic to work. Many changelings
will transplant these flowers all over, however, ensuring
they take root in order to give fellow Lost a little guid-
ance on their journeys.
5. Fairy Lights: These fat globes are milky white,
and always seem to bend the branch they’re hanging
from into a bow. Spending a point of glamour and per-
forming an action to “activate” the oddment in some way
(clapping, touching it, pretending to flick a switch on the
tree’s trunk, asking the light to come on etc.) causes it to
light up like a street lamp. Some freeholds plant these
oddments specifically along their nearby trods, sending
out “lamp lighters” when the night grows near so that
any lost or fleeing changelings can find a safe harbor in
the chaos of the Hedge. Lit globes may be cut down and
carried with someone like a lantern, but they will only
glow for one hour per dot of the activating creature’s
Wyrd, rather than until dawn like globes left to dangle
from their branches. Additionally, a globe that’s been cut
down fizzles out when it reaches the end of its light span,
while those left on the vine can be re-lit again and again.
6. Jack Dagger: A thorny vine that seems to slither
out of sight like a serpent when one draws near, Jack
dagger can be a particularly nasty snare for the unwary.
While the scratches it leaves are shallow, barely drawing
any blood at all, a Jack dagger sucks glamour like a mos-
quito sucks blood (brushing against the vine will drain
one point of glamour). If one manages to snatch the vine
and either cut or tear it open, drinking the sap allows
them to regain any glamour stored in the Jack dagger.
Usually this is between 1 and 3 points, but there are
hobs and changelings alike known for making snares and
scratch wires from this oddment near trods specifically to
snatch glamour from passing travelers.
7. Herald’s Bells: The Gentry often announce their
presence when they wander the Hedge, but those who at-
tempt to move about unseen often curse the twist of the
Wyrd that birthed herald’s bells. These flowers, which
look like miniature silver trumpets, let forth tinkling
notes whenever a creature with a notably high Wyrd is
near. So while most changelings and hobgoblins will only
cause whispered notes, and monarchs may be met with a
song loud enough to be heard over conversation, the True
Fae make these flowers positively blare with their ap-
proach. Many changelings who spend time in the Hedge
actively cultivate this oddment in their hollows and on
trods they frequent, using it as an early warning system in
the event a threat like the Wild Hunt draws nigh.
 8. Counterfeit Lettuce: It’s said most of the loose
change dropped in the world finds its way into the Hedge
sooner or later, and that it was these coins that planted
the seed of this useful oddment. Whether it takes the
shape of small, leafy ficas, an oddly patterned bush or a
head of cabbage, counterfeit lettuce appears to be made
of the local currency closest to a particular real-world
boundary with a certain part of the Hedge. Crisp and
smooth when first plucked, the leaves of money begin
to brown and wither quickly. Usually reduced to dried
husks within a few days, many changelings use this coun-
terfeit cash to pay for necessities in the real world when
they have few other options, and won’t be around long
enough to deal with the mortals who were tricked into
taking it in exchange for valuable goods or services.
9. Hagstone: Legends tell of magic stones that can
see past the illusions and tricks of fae magic, often found
discarded by rivers and brooks. These stones tend to be
small, with a hole in the center worn away by the natural
flow of water. It’s this hole that provides a lens to see the
truth. When such a stone is found in the Hedge, it is
often imbued with the Hedge’s ability to strip away the
protective camouflage the Wyrd weaves around change-
lings, hedgespun items and even creatures like fetches.
If a hagstone is given to a mortal, and they look through
the hole in it, it allows them to see through any Mask that
has not been hardened. Often given as gifts to mortal
friends, lovers and confidantes, these stones have proven
very useful to those who can’t afford to be taken in by
fae lies.
10. Pale Melons: Plump, pale fruits, these melons
aren’t particularly flavorful. Worse, they taste like the
person who planted the seed whispered the word “cit-
rus,” but didn’t specify which variety, or explain what
that word really meant. Most changelings who cultivate
pale melons, though, don’t eat them. Rather they use the
juice as ink, which becomes completely invisible once it
dries, leaving no residue behind. Revealed by rubbing a
surface with a fresh pale melon rind, this trick is often
used by Winter Courtiers looking to leave hidden mes-
sages for others to find.
11. Thorntooth: A friend of many a changeling that’s
come out on the wrong end of a Hedge duel, these thick,
black thorns can be used to replace broken or knocked
out teeth. All it takes is a point of glamour, and a deep
breath as the thorntooth is pressed into the busted chom-
per or empty socket in the gums. Once it’s taken root a
thorntooth is surprisingly resilient, as long as it is regu-
larly watered, and receives a single point of glamour every
fortnight. A thorntooth starved of glamour quickly rots
away, leaving the changeling in much the same situation
they were in before. Once it has taken root, a thorntooth
no longer counts against the total goblin fruits/oddments
a changeling is carrying on their person. Additionally,
100 (Mostly) Harmless Goblin Fruits and Oddments to Find in The Hedge
their appearance in the real world varies, from simple dis-
coloration, to a matte black tooth that looks almost like
an artistic statement to eyes that can’t piece the Mask.
12. Mummer’s Mud: Found in small, bubbling
puddles that smell of cold coffee and used oil, mummer’s
mud is a thin, viscous material that helps skin stretch
into different contours than it would normally tolerate.
Applied to the face, it alters one’s appearance in subtle
ways, providing a bonus die to pools using Subterfuge
to disguise one’s identity (though the mud must be re-
applied if one is going to craft a different disguise with
it). Mummer’s mud usually lasts for one hour per dot of
the user’s Wyrd, but spending a single point of glamour
extends the time to 24 hours, after which the mud dries
up and flakes away.
13. Phoenix Grass: Dry, sawtoothed red grass, it’s
very difficult to pull phoenix grass without getting at least
one cut. Typically found in small bundles, it takes flame
with ease, and burns well. Commonly planted in hearths
and in the center of campfire rings by changelings and
hobs alike, once the fire burns out the grass stands tall,
thick, and rejuvenated. This allows it to take fire time
and time again, making it a near-perpetual source of fuel.
14. Boom Fruits: Thick, spiny oddments with tightly
stretched skins, boom fruits are the furthest thing from
a tasty treat. Roughly the size of a large apple, all it takes
to start this fruit counting down is to infuse it with a
point of glamour, and to make a Wyrd + Resolve roll as a
Reflexive action (the result of which determines the dam-
age inflicted by a boom fruit explosion). Once thrown
the boom fruit explodes like a shrapnel grenade, send-
ing its spines out in all directions (with a blast zone of
20 feet in every direction of the impact zone). Damage
is dealt automatically to those in the blast zone, though
armor and cover automatically reduce the damage by the
listed value (treating the blast as ballistic damage). This
includes reducing the damage from lethal to bashing if
one is wearing ballistic armor.
15. Night Eye: Black berries that grow on the un-
derside of bushes which are typically found in the deep-
er, darker parts of the Hedge, night eye has a sharp, al-
most antiseptic scent to it. They don’t taste particularly
good either, but if the juice is squeezed into one’s eyes
it causes the pupil to widen until the eye itself is nearly
black. While this effect is active the user can see in dim
light and darkness, but any light brighter than a candle is
nearly blinding (-2 die penalty on all dice pools while in
brightly lit areas). Smoked goggles, sunglasses and other
measures taken to protect the eyes negate this penalty.
Night eye can only be taken while one stands in shadows,
and the effect ends as soon as daylight (or effects that
count as sunlight) fall upon the user’s face.
16. Hiker’s Moss: Soft and spongy, this moss always
grows alongside trods. A brownish red color, it looks
9
almost like shreds of leather clinging to the trunks and
branches of the Hedge. If plucked and placed within the
sole of one’s shoe, the moss eases the rigors of walking.
Hiker’s moss adds +2 bonus dice to Stamina dice pools
for avoiding fatigue caused by rigorous or extended effort
for the next 24 hours. After this point the moss collapses,
leaving nothing more than a red stain in one’s shoes, and
on the soles of their feet.
17. Sugarweed: A rare kindness in the Hedge, sugar-
weed grows in places where love has been spoken, promis-
es kept and beautiful moments shared. Tall cat tails with
red, silky banners atop them that wave in the breeze, sug-
arweed is sweet inside. All one has to do is pluck off the
cap and suck out the juice to gain a point of glamour (2
points for Spring Courtiers). Additionally, the memories
of love and laughter can elevate one’s mood; something
even more valuable than glamour to some changelings.
Called pixie sticks by some, it’s far from uncommon to
see these being cultivated in many freeholds.
18. Chirurgeon Petals: Nasty-looking plants with
thorns all along the petals, these flowers are a great boon
to anyone who’s been injured in the Hedge. The flow-
er sinks its thorns into the skin, covering a wound and
latching itself over an area. This prevents any bleeding
effects, but what’s even more useful is that the flower
secretes a numbing agent that reduces pain. As long as
the oddment is attached (1 hour per total Health of the
host, if not removed before then) it allows the host to ig-
nore the first -1 from wound penalties. The effects are not
cumulative with additional applications of the oddment,
though multiple chirurgeon petals will stack with merits
or contracts that reduce or eliminate wound penalties.
19. Passion Seed: There are some who believe that
passion seeds are, in truth, the last vestiges of silphium,
which was used both as an aphrodisiac and a form of
birth control in the days of antiquity. While nowhere
near as potent in initiating desire as Spring’s contracts
are, this plant renders someone who eats it sterile for the
next day and night. While not much use to changelings,
passion seed can make for a particularly useful item to
trade with mortals who would like to take advantage of
its powers.
20. Viridian Root: Looking like a thick, woody vein,
viridian root tends to grow near the thin places of the
world, and is most commonly found in the proximity of
gateways into the Hedge. While some changelings use
this goblin fruit as a telltale to help them find a way into
the real world again, there are others who harvest and
chew it. It has a bitter flavor that some compare to strong
licorice, but in that bitterness are all the disappointments
and hard edges of the real world. Chewing viridian root
provides +1 bonus die on your next Clarity check, if made
within 24 hours.
* For 2nd edition Changeling: The Lost, subtract a
10 100 (Mostly) Harmless Goblin Fruits and Oddments to Find in The Hedge
die from the dice pool for the next attack made against
the chewer’s Clarity instead.
21. Elf’s Ear: A white plant that looks similar to cau-
liflower, elf’s ear has a distinct crunch, as well as a flavor
that’s somewhat similar to both onion and garlic. Once
eaten this goblin fruit increases the sensitivity of one’s
hearing, granting +2 bonus dice on Wits-based percep-
tion dice pools that involve listening. The benefit lasts
for a number of hours equal to the eater’s Wyrd, but af-
terward it tends to leave one’s head muzzy and thick, im-
posing a -2 penalty to Wits-based perception dice pools
that involve listening for an equal amount of time.
22. Ghost Peppers: These pale goblin fruits have a
spicy kick to them, there’s no doubt about that. Once
eaten, however, a ghost pepper gives someone the ability
to see and interact with the ethereal. Whether dealing
with ghosts and similar spirits, or changelings who have
stepped into the ethereal in order to avoid confronta-
tion, ghost peppers allow one to see, hear and even touch
ethereal creatures as if the eater was on the same plane
as them. This means they can engage in melee combat,
but ranged weapons do not work unless the ammunition
fired would affect ethereal beings on its own. A ghost
pepper’s effects last for 1 scene.
23. Marsh Mallows: Found floating in flooded areas
of the Hedge, these goblin fruits look and feel like float-
ing mushrooms, but are as sweet and airy as their name-
sake once one takes a bite. Often used as a component in
preserves made from other goblin fruits, adding a marsh
mallow to such a concoction increases the lifespan of the
preserve by a full fortnight. It also makes the bitterest
jams and jellies into something tolerable to the palate,
which is sometimes just as valuable a contribution.
24. Squire’s Quiver: Easily mistaken for cattails if
one doesn’t look closely, these oddments tend to grow
near battlefields, or where Hedge duels are regularly
fought. Once plucked, the woody shaft of this oddment
can be laid to a bow or crossbow, and fired just as one
would a normal bolt or arrow. Favorites of hunters who
stalk the Hedge, many hobs and changelings who use
these oddments will remove the head of one of these
shafts that was used to deliver a killing shot, planting
it in a garden near their hollows. While it’s hard to be
sure of anything when it comes to the Hedge’s unusual
harvests, most agree that such a “seed” that claimed a life
will grow straight, true and plentiful as the Hedge hopes
to entice one to further violence by providing even more
shafts for future hunts.
25. Thimbleshuck: The shell of a cracked nut, this
oddment has the distinctive pattern of a sewing thimble.
Those who prick a finger, and smear a drop of blood in-
side a thimbleshuck, find that it sticks comfortably to the
pad of their finger for hours, making time spent crafting
so much easier. A thimbleshuck adds a bonus die to dice
pools involving Crafts, excluding contract activations.
From sewing, to automotive work, to swordsmithing, a
thimbleshuck doesn’t care what the project is, so long as
it’s being made with one’s hands. This oddment’s effects
last until the end of an extended roll made to craft some-
thing, or until it is removed, whichever comes first.
26. Spring’s Regalia: These flowers are long, fluted
things with round bulbs near their bases. If one bends
down and whispers softly, the flower will usually open.
A squeeze on the bulb will spray a light coating of nectar
onto one’s neck or wrists, leaving an intoxicating aroma
behind. This perfume adds a bonus die to dice pools in-
volving Persuasion or Socialize, as long as the target(s) are
close enough to smell the scent. A single application lasts
until either sunup or sundown, whichever comes first.
27. Sprite Snatchers: Thick and thorny, these bright
flowers with flat, wide leaves look sweet and inviting...
which is how they catch their prey. Tiny Hedge creatures,
particularly those who make pests of themselves, are a
sprite snatcher’s favorite prey. Changelings and hobs who
want to add a little extra security to their hollows often
plant several of these, as snatchers will take care of biting
flies and thieving nixies. Handily enough they will also
dispose of goblin fruit peels, and other small bits of or-
ganic waste if one is willing to feed it to them.
28. Loose Leaf: Often found blowing on the winds,
these flapping leaves could easily be mistaken for pages
torn from a notebook. Shed by plants that are sometimes
called scholar’s bush, loose leaf can be collected and used
to draw maps, write letters, or for those with a baser need,
as toilet paper. It’s far from uncommon to see journals for
sale in goblin markets made from this unusual oddment.
A sheaf of loose leaf (often collected into a notebook)
counts as a single oddment for the purposes of how many
goblin fruits and oddments a changeling can bring with
them out of the Hedge.
29. Golden Leaf: A friend to those who travel the
Hedge, golden leaf can either be chewed in a thick plug
kept in the cheek, or dried and smoked with a pipe or
rolling papers. In both cases it leaves one’s breath smell-
ing clean, with a light, smoky scent not unlike incense.
Those who smoke golden leaf while telling stories often
find that the smoke takes on fanciful shapes, acting out
the scenes as they’re being described. It’s earned the nick-
name “Gandalf Weed” among some changelings for this
reason.
30. Husker’s Companion: Gnarled seeds that appear
to have wizened faces on them, a husker’s companion can
be hung from a pack, a belt or even a shoelace. Someone
carrying one of these tiny look outs is treated as having
the Danger Sense merit the next time they have to make a
Wits + Composure roll to try to spot an ambush. Wheth-
er someone successfully spots an ambush or not, the nut
cracks, and the effects of its magic end after that initial
100 (Mostly) Harmless Goblin Fruits and Oddments to Find in The Hedge
check is rolled. A creature who already has the Danger
Sense merit instead gains a bonus die on the check.
31. Bloody Pom: Similar to a pomegranate in ap-
pearance, a bloody pom is just as sweet as you’d expect.
The seeds aren’t for eating, though. The juice of this odd-
ment is as slick as machine oil, and the oblong seeds can
be slipped into a magazine or cylinder to be used in lieu
of bullets... within the confines of the Hedge, at least.
Outside of the Hedge a magazine’s worth of this alterna-
tive ammunition requires spending a point of glamour
to activate it for the next hour. Once that hour is up, the
seeds wither away to nothing, which makes them a favor-
ite tool of assassins who want to leave no evidence be-
hind. Additionally, a full magazine of these seeds counts
as a single oddment for the purposes of how many goblin
fruits and oddments a changeling can take with them out
of the Hedge.
32. Rainbow Pears: Growing in a wide variety of
hues, these juicy fruits are tasty, but that isn’t their prima-
ry use among changelings. Whether the juice is applied
to lips, cheeks, nails or eyelids, the vibrant colors of these
fruits dyes skin as well as clothes until sunrise, which
makes them a popular form of enchanted cosmetics.
They also make for particularly fantastical food fights,
if even a handful of stories from the freeholds along the
Western seaboard are to be believed.
33. Go Juice: Found in oblong red fruits whose
stems neatly twist off to reveal a reservoir of thick, sticky
juice, these fruits are often imbibed by changelings and
hobs on guard duty as they tend to hold sleep at bay un-
til morning (while also providing +2 bonus dice on dice
pools to resist supernatural effects that might force one
to sleep). Once morning comes, however, the eater must
make a Stamina + Resolve check to remain awake. Fail-
ure means the character falls asleep within the first hour
after sunrise. 2 successes means they remain awake, but
suffer a -1 penalty to all dice pools until they finally get
at least 8 hours of sleep. An exceptional success negates
this penalty altogether. There are rumors of go juice be-
ing used in vehicles as fuel (requiring spending a point
of glamour in the real world), which would allow said ve-
hicle to run until morning without burning any actual
gasoline. Doing so might be a foolish endeavor, though,
as there’s the potential the goblin fruit might alter the
machine in unexpected ways.
34. Wooden Nickels: The seed found in the center
of olmeric, a fruit considered a rare delicacy even within
the Hedge, these flat, round seeds resemble nothing so
much as wooden pocket change. Highly valued by goblin
merchants, many of whom will attempt to plant the seeds
themselves, wooden nickels can be used to trade for valu-
able resources ranging from information to Hedge spin-
ning services if one can find the right goblin buyer.
35. Flavor Pits: Thick, rough objects that feel like
11
fruit pits, these oddments are roughly the size of a small
jawbreaker. Collected by those who often venture into
the Hedge, flavor pits will carry the taste of any goblin
fruit they’ve been placed inside, which turns them into
a pleasant lozenge that never loses its flavor. While the
pits can be broken by those with particularly strong jaws,
this destroys their magic, and floods one’s mouth with an
acrid, bitter taste as the core opens up.
36. Butterflies: These bug-like fruit tend to bloom
on low-hanging branches. It’s only when one gets close
that they realize the broad wings and fanciful whorls
aren’t actually an insect ready to take flight, but a soft,
easily-plucked fruit. Easily spread on traveling biscuits,
butterflies are a way to make even stale, unappetizing
meals delicious, and they’re often used by changeling
cooks who want to put a bit of magic into their meals.
37. Milkweed: Despite sharing a name with a mortal
plant, milkweed looks like a plump fruit that typically
hangs just high enough from the Hedge that ground-rov-
ing creatures can’t reach it. Squeezing near the lower end
of the fruit actually squirts the thick, white juice out, and
while some changelings will drink this milk straight from
the Hedge, others prefer to milk the contents into a cup.
This is particularly true for those who can’t tell how fresh
a milkweed is, because if the juice has been sitting for any
length of time, then it may have gone sour, and that is a
uniquely awful experience for one’s palate.
38. Sweetwater Pitcher: A strange oddment, these
plants grow straight out of the ground in the shape of
pitchers, complete with fully-formed handles of tough
vines. Once removed from the ground a sweetwater pitch-
er can be used to scoop water from a spring, or to serve
drinks in a hollow, the same as any common pitcher. The
unique feature of this oddment, though, is that for one
point of glamour it will suck any poison or disease out of
its liquid contents, leaving behind clean, safe drinking
water. Performing this task leaves the sweetwater pitcher
a dark, bruised color, as well, making it obvious when
something placed inside was harmful. Once a pitcher has
absorbed poisons in this way it cannot do so again.
39. Pipe Weeds: An unusual growth, there are all
kinds of theories held by occult botanists about why this
oddment grows, and what causes it to take its final form.
Some pipe weeds are clear, resembling organic glass,
while others develop fanciful figures and symbols in their
grains. Some even come with a dry root ball that, when
powdered, can be smoked. The effects of doing this var-
ies from one oddment to another, and while most change-
lings see little risk in it as long as one is careful, there are
more than a few tales about what’s befallen incautious
smokers who’ve plucked a pipe weed, and forgot that the
Hedge does not have their best interests at heart.
40. Liar’s Bane: These thick, juicy berries are bright
green, and they tend to grow in areas where pledges have
12 100 (Mostly) Harmless Goblin Fruits and Oddments to Find in The Hedge
been sworn. Anyone who eats a liar’s bane finds that
sweet lies curdle on their tongue, imposing a -2 die pen-
alty to all dice pools involving Subterfuge made to lie
or mislead. An unfortunate side effect is that even lies
meant to save one’s feelings are often impossible for an
eater to tell, leading to their unvarnished, blunt opinions
rolling off their tongue in a way that might harm friend-
ships more than any lie could have. These effects last for
one hour per point of the eater’s Wyrd, as the berries
latch onto the creature’s fae nature.
41. Whisper Lilies: White flowers that grow from
thick vines, whisper lilies are most commonly found
creeping up broken walls and twisted trees, or growing
out of the floor of a hollow. By spending a point of glam-
our and whispering the name of a location or an individ-
ual, a whisper lily will open its network throughout the
Hedge. Once a connection is made the whisper lily clos-
est to the location or individual named will open, and
ask if the person on the other end wishes to accept the
contact. If the lily is refused, or there is no one there to
accept it, the original lily apologizes, and the petals close.
If the call is accepted, the lily emits a low hum to let one
know a connection has been established. Once this hap-
pens, a creature may speak into the lily as if speaking into
a telephone. An individual need not know a target’s true
name to use a whisper lily to try to contact them, but
they must know them by a name recognized by the Wyrd.
Whisper lilies cannot reach into the real world, though
there are rumors that they will pick up multiple calls if
multiple creatures attempt to butt into a conversation
at the same time. The call ends when someone thanks
the whisper lily, and steps away from the flower, which
promptly closes once more.
42. Laurel Crown: A symbol of victors for centuries,
crowns of laurel leaves grow at the tops of certain walls
of the Hedge to tempt those who want to prove they are
skilled enough to reach them. Those who manage to lay
their hands on one of these oddments, and to place it
upon their heads, receive a bonus die on dice pools in-
volving either Athletics or Presence, as the laurels confer
a small measure of the air and skill of a champion onto
the bearer. A laurel crown lasts until the wearer next
sleeps, at which point its magic ends and the leaves fall
away to nothing. After all, one cannot rest on their lau-
rels.
43. Cordweed: A vine that’s rough to the touch, clev-
er Hedge explorers often use cordweed as twine to make
field repairs to their gear, to string up warning bells or
even to weave travel necessities like rain capes or tents.
Hedge duelists sometimes wrap the grips of their weap-
ons (or even their fists) in cordweed to provide a better
grip. Those who wield a weapon with a grip wrapped in
cordweed automatically subtract one success from at-
tempts to disarm them of that weapon. Those who wrap
their limbs in cordweed add a bonus die to their Brawl
dice pools to strike with a wrapped limb. This is consid-
ered an equipment bonus, and doesn’t stack with other
equipment bonuses.
44. Pixie’s Tears: Usually found sprinkled along
vines in the Hedge like morning dew, this pink dust is
highly valued as a spice. Whether added to travel rations,
or stirred into a more elaborate dish, marketeers and ped-
dlers are always on the lookout for this particular gob-
lin fruit. Merchants who move from one location in the
Hedge to another often put quite a lot of stock in pixie’s
tears as a mobile form of wealth, paying in packets of this
spice for those who are, as the saying goes, worth their
salt.
45. Fire Melons: Similar to watermelons in gener-
al appearance, fire melons are an angry red color with
bright hashes along their shells. The “meat” of the fruit is
dry and smoky, often compared to ham, or bacon when
it’s sliced. Getting these fruits while they’re ripe is of
paramount importance, because if they’re past their time
then the taste of rotting meat will linger on one’s tongue
for days to remind them of their poor judgment.
46. Brook Pearls: Occasionally found drifting in
streams throughout the Hedge, these berries are unusu-
ally heavy with juice. While they come in a variety of
different flavors, depending on where they grow, they are
rarely eaten as a standalone meal. Instead, brook pearls
are put in the bottom of a glass of water, tea, juice or
even blended coffee, and sucked up through a straw. The
pearls pop when pressure is put on them, creating a satis-
fying rush of flavor in one’s mouth.
47. Cleansing Root: Typically found near pools,
ponds, and waterfalls cleansing root easily crumbles into
a gritty paste that smells vaguely of citrus. Used to wash
hair, clothes and one’s body, there’s no stain that cleans-
ing root can’t remove. This is particularly useful for wan-
derers in the Hedge who don’t want to arrive to court in
sweat-stained clothes, or enforcers who need to get blood
out of their garments before officers start asking ques-
tions.
48. Painter Bushes: Used by changeling artists as
well as hobs, painter bushes have berries that come in
every shade and color of the rainbow. When crushed and
mixed with paint, these berries create works that are vi-
brant to the point that they’re almost lifelike. Any paint-
er who uses these berries receives +2 bonus dice on the
extended rolls for making a single painting. In order to
maintain this bonus, however, an artist will need to use
at least one berry per roll to ensure the paint is properly
saturated with the magic of the Hedge.
49. Hunter’s Step: A thick sap that runs like oil from
particularly thorny parts of the Hedge, hunter’s step is
black as midnight. When applied to the bottom of one’s
100 (Mostly) Harmless Goblin Fruits and Oddments to Find in The Hedge
shoes (or one’s feet, if one happens to walk barefoot),
hunter’s step quiets creaks and other betraying sounds,
adding a bonus die to dice pools involving Stealth to
move silently. Hunter’s step does leave a trail of oily foot-
steps behind, though, providing a bonus die to pools for
people who are tracking someone using this oddment.
Those who regularly use hunter’s step, though, may at-
tempt to lay false trails with it, and to double back in
order to get the drop on someone. The residue of hunter’s
step vanishes when it’s touched by daylight, and the ap-
plication on one’s feet lasts until they take their shoes off,
or the sun next rises, whichever comes first.
50. Aegis Flower: A silvery flower with layered petals
that looks almost like a shield, this flower tends to grow
near battlefields, or places where Hedge duels are regu-
larly fought. Once plucked and worn (typically through
a button hole, woven into one’s hair or tucked into the
band of a hat), an aegis flower provides a small measure
of protection for its wearer. The flower provides a bonus
die to the next dice pool the wearer rolls to resist a su-
pernatural power. If the wearer successfully resists, the
flower loses a petal, but continues to provide its protec-
tion. If the wearer fails to resist, all remaining petals fall
off. A fresh flower boasts 5 petals. An aegis flower lasts
either until it’s lost all of its petals, or a number of days
equal to the wearer’s Wyrd, whichever comes first.
51. Leechweed: A long, red vine that only grows away
from trods unless properly cultivated, leechweed is high-
ly prized for its ability to siphon out poison. Attaching
leechweed to a creature deals 1 point of lethal damage
as it burrows into the target’s vein. The oddment then
siphons out any impurities in the blood, darkening like
a leech as it siphons out the poison or venom. Once the
target has been purified the leechweed slithers out, and
drops off, stiffening into a dry twig. Though only usable
once, leechweed is particularly prized for its ability to re-
move dream venom, and other fae poisons, as well as to
save one from more mortal dangers.
52. Skeleton Key: Every filcher’s friend, this woody
oddment looks like a knobby finger bone poking out of
the ground; something that’s far from an unusual sight in
the Hedge. Once dug up the root ball resembles an old-
fashioned key. While it lacks the magic common to more
potent items, this oddment adds a bonus die to any dice
pool using Larceny to pick a lock. If there is no keyhole
this oddment still provides its bonus as long as it’s held
in one hand, or clenched between one’s teeth. Skeleton
keys are fragile, though, and as soon as someone fails to
make progress on the lock, the oddment snaps. Worse,
future attempts to pick that specific lock now suffer a -1
die penalty to the dice pool. A skeleton key lasts for one
day from the time it first provides its bonus, or until it
breaks, whichever comes first.
53. Spite Berries: Thick black berries that look juicy,
13
spite berries taste vile. It’s the pit in the center of these
berries that’s the real treasure. Ground up, these pits can
be used to make a robust coffee that will make a spoon
stand up in the pot according to those who drink it. Ped-
dlers often sell these “cups of malice” to those looking
for the strength to face the day. A full cup of spite berry
coffee, once drank, adds a bonus die to the next Resolve
+ Composure check one has to make within the next day.
54. Smoke Screen: A moss that tends to grow from
places where fire has kissed the Hedge, smoke screen has
the uncanny ability to absorb smoke when it’s placed near
a fire. This trick is used by several Hedge rangers who use
this oddment to stop their smoke from reaching above
the nearby greenery, but it’s also found something of a
unique use among many in the Summer Court. When
placed in a face mask and used as a filter, smoke screen
absorbs inhaled smoke, poisons and many gases, provid-
ing +2 bonus dice to dice pools to resist these effects. The
oddment expires at the end of the scene, however.
55. Story Trees: A bizarre plant that no one seems
to truly know the origin of, story trees are small, woody
bushes. Instead of needles, though, their branches sprout
wooden pens. The caps are delicate, and the juice used
for ink is a little on the thick side, but these oddments
are carried by a variety of pledge mongers and oath mak-
ers. Partially for convenience, but also because there are
some who believe that signing an agreement with an in-
strument born from the Hedge makes it that much more
binding.
56. Cob Sacks: Spiders of all sizes lurk in the Hedge
weaving potent snares to entrap flies, hobs, wandering
changelings and more. The Hedge resents being con-
strained, though, and when it moves these webs often
surface far away from where their weavers left them. Cut
down out of the branches, larger webs can actually be
rolled and tied, used as impromptu duffel bags or even
hammocks once their stickiness has been rubbed away.
There are even some who re-purpose them as net traps
and ground snares, though hobs will do this far more
often than changelings, as a rule.
57. Summer Blossoms: Said to grow in places where
blood was spilled in anger, these red-petaled flowers look
almost like sunflowers. Almost. In addition to their col-
oring, though, they’re quite warm to the touch, and seem
indifferent to what season it actually is. Those who like
to keep their hollows warm often planet window boxes of
these flowers, though it’s important to regularly scream,
work out frustrations, or to play loud, wrathful music
near them in order to keep them happy. If plucked and
kept in one’s pocket, or tucked into a lapel, hat band etc.,
the flowers provide a bonus die to dice pools for resisting
the effects of a cold environment. The flower lasts for
a number of hours equal to the wearer’s Wyrd, or for a
number of days equal to their dots of Summer Mantle,
14 100 (Mostly) Harmless Goblin Fruits and Oddments to Find in The Hedge
whichever is longer.
58. Chicken Peas: Large balls dangling from bushes
and branches in the Hedge, chicken peas are covered in
downy feathers. White peas are chewy with a crisp out-
side, much like a chicken nugget once the feathers have
been plucked. The darker the feathers, the spicier the
chicken pea will be. It’s said those with black feathers
pack more heat than any pepper grown in the mortal
world, and eating them is usually a contest of endurance
at goblin markets.
59. Nixie Skulls: These macabre-looking berries
tend to grow in parts of the Hedge that abut cemeteries
and graveyards, or to grow where a large number of bod-
ies have been buried over the years. These white berries
boast dark seeds that make them look like tiny skulls, and
they have a granular, sweet core just beneath the skin that
acts almost like sugar. Some hobs and changelings pluck
them off the vine and eat them like candy, while others
keep them in cold rooms or gather them in jars, mixing
them into dishes and drinks for a little added sweetness.
60. Patch Fruit: Looking more like an old leather
gym ball than something one would try to eat, these odd-
ments are particularly handy for those who catch their
clothing on the Hedge’s thorns. Simply peeling off the
exterior reveals a patch that’s sticky on one side, and sur-
prisingly durable on the other. Many wanderers who’ve
come to know the Hedge keep at least one of these odd-
ments in their packs, much like how one would keep a
roll of duct tape in their vehicle. Though patch fruit can
be used as a bandage, doing so is an unpleasant experi-
ence as the sticky juice stings in open wounds. It will hold
like no other, though, and keep a wound safe from infec-
tion, which is often worth the discomfort.
61. Fizzy Fruits: Found hanging in bunches like a
strange combination of apples and bananas, the stems of
fizzy fruits are hollow. All one has to do is snip it off to
set the juice within to bubbling with carbonation. Some
have suggested these fruits grow where someone buries a
12-pack of soda in the Hedge, and there are always hor-
ticulturists running their own experiments to alter the
consistency, the amount of fizz and the overall flavor of
the syrupy treat that grows inside these fruits.
62. Buzz Berries: Typically the size of a pear, buzz
berries are warm to the touch, and tend to grow either
in areas of constant storms, or when there’s a power sta-
tion abutting the boundary of the Hedge. Once plucked,
a buzz berry can charge any mobile device just like a
battery pack, with the charger’s prongs pushed directly
through the fruit’s skin. Some changelings claim that us-
ing “Hedge juice” can have strange effects on a device,
though, from bizarre messages coming from unlisted
numbers, to garbled code, or in some cases downloading
phantom programs that don’t exist in the real world.
 63. Sharp Pits: Typically found in blood peaches, a
sweet fruit whose juices run thick and red, sharp pits are
rough stones the color of bone. While most hobs and
changelings simply toss them aside, those who rely on
their steel use these pits as whetstones to sharpen their
blades. Using a sharp pit in this way takes roughly 15
minutes of concentrated work, after which the pit be-
comes smooth and useless. This honing increases the
blade’s equipment bonus to attacks for the next scene it’s
used in combat, after which the magic fades. These odd-
ments only work on mortal weapons which are not made
from cold iron, and it does not stack with contracts and
other magic effects that increase a weapon’s effectiveness
such as Blessing of Perfection.
64. Knight’s Varnish: An oddment that’s tacky on
one side and smooth on the other, these wide leaves are
quite useful for holding the elements at bay when woven
into a cloak or other outer garment. When used to polish
any metal aside from cold iron, though, the tacky mate-
rial actually protects the metal from moisture, as well as
any natural form of rust. Changelings with a preference
for firearms have found that knight’s varnish allows their
guns to shoot without issue even after they’ve been sub-
merged in water. This protection only lasts for a fortnight
(roughly two weeks), which means re-applying this odd-
ment is something of a ritual for many changelings.
65. Bauble Fruit: Found hanging from trees with
widespread limbs, bauble fruits actually appear to be
clinging to the branches via woody tendrils rather than
growing from them. One must place an offering in the
hollow of the tree (a few drops of blood, another goblin
fruit, an offer of glamour, a whispered secret etc.), and
once the tree has weighed the payment one of the odd-
ments will drop to the ground. Rather than being a true
“fruit” though, one finds a prize inside the shell. It might
be a necklace, a watch made from vines with thorns as
the hands, a wooden ring in the shape of a fanciful crea-
ture or something else entirely. Rumors swirl, saying that
costlier offerings will yield better baubles such as secret
messages, warnings of danger or even unexpected Hedg-
espun items.
66. Bumbershoots: Squat bushes whose leaves vary
wildly in color and pattern, bumbershoots are named for
the British slang term for umbrellas, as these oddments
serve a similar purpose. When yanked out of the soil the
branches of the oddment all slide upward, creating an
interwoven shield from the rain. Some varieties are cov-
ered in flowers and act more like parasols, while some
can grow large enough to serve as beach umbrellas. These
oddments only live for a few days if taken out of the soil,
and taken out of the Hedge they will rapidly degrade,
lasting a number of hours equal to the holder’s Wyrd.
If placed back into the soil of the Hedge a bumbershoot
will re-plant itself. It takes at least a day for the bush’s
100 (Mostly) Harmless Goblin Fruits and Oddments to Find in The Hedge
brambles to slide back down, though, at which point it
will be ready for use again.
67. Riddlers: Unusual fruits, the skin of these treats
bears a puzzle or a riddle. Tradition dictates that you can-
not eat the fruit until you solve the puzzle, making them
ideal for a traveler looking for something of a game to
play to pass the time. While eating the fruit prematurely
does one no harm, those who speak the answer aloud, or
who mark the solution on the skin, do find that solving
the riddle enhances the taste. It also unlocks the fruit’s
true benefits, granting the eater a point of glamour and
healing a single point of bashing damage if they have any.
68. Knotted Ketch: This thick vine is rough to the
touch, and grows in a braided pattern like rope. Not only
that, but when it’s cut, the sap quickly hardens, which
seals one end to prevent it from fraying. A handy resource
that’s used by changelings and hobs alike, the fact that
this oddment always seems to weave one end of itself into
a noose is what gave it such an unusual name. Though
some changelings claim knotted ketch will try to snatch
unwary passer-by to hang them from the Hedge, such
snares are usually set by hobs trying to catch travelers on
the trods. Usually.
69. Poacher’s Pit: A poacher’s pit is a slang term for
a hole dug in the earth where the unwanted pieces of a
kill are thrown to molder after an animal is field dressed.
The oddments that bear this name look like hollow tree
stumps. They are short and wide, with thick bark, and
they have a kind of heady perfume to them that covers up
the scent of rot unless one gets very close. In the bottom
of the hollow “trunk” is a pool of potent acid (touching
it deals 1 point of aggravated damage). Refuse tossed into
these oddments is dissolved, feeding the oddment. If it’s
filled up, then a fanged maw closes over the top until the
poacher’s pit has finished digesting. Often found growing
on the sides of trods, some of these pits have adapted to
fit certain diets, preferring organic waste, glass, metals
etc. depending on what they’re fed over time.
70. Button Bushes: Every tailor’s friend, button
bushes are exactly what one would imagine when you hear
their name. From silvery uniform buttons that would be
at-home on a soldier’s dress uniform, to simple wooden
buttons that can handle the rigors of the trail, there are
hundreds of different offerings dangling from these bush-
es’ branches. Even more useful, though, is the gossamer
moss that gathers on the lower branches, which can be
used as thread to attach whatever is taken from the bush.
Unlike other oddments, these buttons aren’t counted to-
wards a changeling’s total goblin fruit/oddment carrying
capacity as long as they are sewn onto an item.
71. Peacock Bushes: Named for the unique fans
that grow from their branches, peacock bushes are a
great friend to those who travel in the summer season.
Plucking one of these fans (which can fold up to fit into
15
a pocket) is easy, and as long as one is regularly fanning
themselves this oddment provides a bonus die to Stamina
dice pools to endure heat. No one is entirely sure why,
but the breeze always seems to be a bit cooler when it
comes from one of these fans.
72. Lost Keys: There are some who believe that when
things go missing in the real world that they’ve slipped
through a passage and fallen into the Hedge. This is par-
ticularly true when it comes to keys that just go missing,
even though you’re sure they were on a hook, in a drawer
or tucked behind your work bench. However these odd-
ments come to be, lost keys dangle from vines, or hang
from trees, tantalizing passers-by with possibilities. Some
of them will have tags or labels, while others will be plain
and unadorned. These keys’ passage through the Hedge,
and their rebirth through the realm, has imbued them
with a rather unique trick; a lost key can open an exist-
ing gateway into (or out of) the Hedge... once, anyway.
Though not strong enough to overcome barriers such as
a hollow’s wards, they bypass the point of glamour and/
or ritual normally needed to open a dormant gateway
into the Hedge, though doing so sucks the magic out of
the key. As long as the key hasn’t been used yet, though,
it vibrates when a gateway into the Hedge (or from the
Hedge into the real world) is near, providing a bonus die
on Wits-based perception dice pools to spot the gate.
73. Lug Nuts: While most would never consider
bringing a vehicle into the Hedge on purpose, there are
some changelings who speculate that enough cars have
been swallowed up in that between-realm for these un-
usual oddments to take root. Looking like chrome-plat-
ed acorns, a lug nut runs like mercury when it’s used,
melding into a damaged vehicle when repairs are being
made. Using a lug nut adds a bonus die to any dice pools
involving Crafts used to repair motorized vehicles, with
the oddment taking the form of a welding strip, a new
fluid cap, or as the name implies, a decorative lug nut.
Each oddment only adds to a single roll, so multiple odd-
ments will need to be used for extended efforts to repair
a vehicle.
74. Luncheon Leaves: Flat, wide leaves, these odd-
ments often look strange or artificial; as if they’re made
of plastic instead of the more organic materials of the
surrounding Hedge. Snapped off at the base, these odd-
ments make for ideal plates... which is convenient both
for travelers, and for those who reside in the Hedge in a
more permanent fashion. Commonly found near clear-
ings where travelers come to rest, large groupings of these
oddments is often read as a sign of danger. Anywhere
that’s a common enough dining spot to warrant that kind
of growth likely means there are dangerous hobs about...
or worse, that this is a place favored by the Gentry with
their retinues of hunters.
75. Coat Tree: An odd sight to say the least, at first
16 100 (Mostly) Harmless Goblin Fruits and Oddments to Find in The Hedge
glance a coat tree looks just like what its name implies.
Only when one looks more closely, though, does the na-
ture of this oddment stand out. From capes of flowers
so fine they almost look like patterned fabric, to thick
overcoats of dark, woven vines, to jackets whose suede
exterior is more like the down on a nut than animal skin,
these garments are often life savers for those caught in
the elements without protection. They don’t last long,
falling to pieces one day after they’ve been plucked from
the tree, but an infusion of 1 point of glamour will allow
the garment to last for 1 week, instead.
76. Sparkle Stones: These oddments grow in the
soil like potatoes, and when one digs them up it’s not
uncommon to think they’ve found a buried treasure.
These “fool’s stones” can look quite convincing to the
untrained eye, and they look beautiful if set in a ring
or worn as a necklace... for a while, anyway. The issue is
that they’ll rot away to nothing roughly a fortnight after
leaving the Hedge, which is why most changelings only
wear them during courtly gatherings, or to try to make a
quick buck during desperate times by tricking pawn shop
owners and jewelers out in the real world.
77. Titan Grass: A thick vegetable that’s a vibrant
green, titan grass is crisp when bit into, and it has a thick
juice that can stain one’s teeth dark crimson. Once eaten,
a handful of this grass provides +2 bonus dice to dice
pools for Athletics checks, and the creature’s Strength
score is considered 1 dot higher for the purposes of deter-
mining how much they can lift, carry and throw without
making a check. This effect lasts for a scene, though crea-
tures with a Wyrd of 5 dots or higher are too powerful to
be affected by titan grass.
78. Hornspeaker Root: Looking like a buried antler
sticking up out of the ground, hornspeaker root crumbles
in one’s mouth with a taste like the ghost of vanilla. For
the rest of the scene this unique goblin fruit allows one to
converse with the beasts of the Hedge... those who can’t
already speak, at least. Though it sometimes allows one
to converse with animals in the real world as well, the
user must be looking at the specific kind of animal they
wish to speak with as they eat the root for the magic to
take effect.
79. Shriekers: A wrinkled ball roughly the size
and contours of a human head, shriekers grow atop tall
stalks. When a creature approaches one of these fruits
the “mouth” opens and emits an ear-piercing scream.
It’s possible to sneak up on an individual shrieker un-
noticed with at least 1 success on a Stealth + Dexterity
check, but if they’re grown in close proximity than an
additional success is required for each additional shrieker
within a dozen or so yards. Changelings and hobgoblins
alike plant these annoying fruits along the boundaries of
their hollows and the trods that lead to them, counting
on these oddments to warn of approaching “company”.
 80. Dryad’s Kiss: A small green berry, this fruit is
found primarily on the limbs of older oaks in the deep
Hedge, or in areas long held by the agents of Spring. A
noted aphrodisiac, dryad’s kiss doesn’t have much of an
effect on hobs and changelings. It does, however, send a
mortal’s blood to singing in their veins. Harvesting glam-
our associated with desire from a mortal who has recently
eaten one of these berries yields an extra point of glam-
our. While some changelings will use the juice from these
berries to spike a target’s drink, others are wary of using
this goblin fruit clandestinely. Mortals can become obses-
sive and demanding while under the effects of dryad’s
kiss, and that can lead to dangerous situations.
81. Fortune Flowers: A bashful oddment, these
flowers remain closed until someone comes to ask their
fortune. Some blow warm breath onto the flower, while
others leave a drop of blood on the petals, but the flower
needs a taste of someone before it can comb the skein of
the Wyrd for their fate. Once the offering has been given,
the flower opens up to show the pattern within. Deep
red is usually a sign of danger, pink a signal of opportu-
nity and white with black veins a warning of impending
death (or worse, one’s Keeper is drawing nigh). Once in
the next 24 hours a changeling gains a bonus die on any
dice pool associated with the reading given by a fortune
flower, according to ST discretion. Multiple uses of these
oddments in the same 24 hours do not stack.
82. Brewer’s Berries: Smelling like they’ve already
been pickled in particularly strong spirits, these berries
are each as potent as a shot glass of hard liquor. While
some hobs and changelings collect them purely for this
purpose, those who brew alcohol from these goblin fruits
add +2 bonus dice to every dice pool involving Crafts for
the brewing process. These bonus dice are only removed
if they come up as 1s, so they should either be rolled sepa-
rately, or be color-coded to stand out from the rest of the
dice pool.
83. Brooch Briars: An unusual oddment, these
prickly briars look almost like decorative cloak pins, or
lapel buttons. Often taking fanciful forms like white,
wooden flowers, silvery swords or brass cogs, a brooch
briar can be used to fasten a cloak or jacket easily enough.
However, these items are also worn by many Winter
Courtiers, who grow their own, specific varieties used to
identify both one another and their agents. Since these
oddments are fairly popular it’s difficult to tell who is
wearing one for practical reasons, who is wearing one be-
cause they enjoy it as a decoration and who is wearing one
as a sign of loyalty to Winter... which one might argue is
by the Silent Arrow’s design.
84. Arming Tree: There are tales of changelings who
issued challenges to the Gentry, and who were then pro-
vided arms and armor by the Hedge out of some perverse
desire to provide balance to the upcoming battle. Some
100 (Mostly) Harmless Goblin Fruits and Oddments to Find in The Hedge
scholars theorize that arming trees, and the oddments
they provide, are the source of these myths... though
when it comes to the Hedge it’s hard to say if its actions
caused the myths, or if the myths were repeated often
enough that they inspired the Hedge. Either way, an arm-
ing tree is a rather squat plant that looks almost like a
tailor’s closet. If a changeling steps into the arming tree
and offers it glamour, they will be compensated hand-
somely. For one point of glamour the tree forms a round
shield, with a crude depiction of the changeling’s court
on it as a crest (it is left blank if one is courtless). For
two points of glamour the changeling will be wrapped
in loops of thick, hardy vines that are the equivalent of
chainmail armor. For five points the arming tree wraps
the changeling in creepers and thick bark that acts as the
equivalent of plate armor. These offerings only last for
one day, at which point they crumble away to broken veg-
etation and rotting leaves. An individual arming tree can
only be used by a particular creature once per day.
85. Gardener’s Gossip: These small, green mush-
rooms with red spots on their caps are bright and shin-
ing, with a taste that’s often compared to cupcake frost-
ing. Once eaten, they give one a general sense of the local
Hedge, where trods are and if there are any dangerous
hobs or other creatures nearby. Eating more of these
mushrooms than one has dots of Stamina during a single
day leads to nausea, sickness and pain, giving the eater a
-2 die penalty on all Stamina and Willpower dice pools
for either the next day, or until they eat a goblin fruit that
either cures the effects of poison or heals physical dam-
age. A contract that heals damage will also eliminate the
penalty. In both cases, the penalty returns if the character
eats another mushroom before a day has passed. Lastly,
gardener’s gossip provides information about the part of
the Hedge it’s harvested from, not where it’s eaten. Also,
once it’s been harvested the mushrooms convey no new
information, which prevents them from being used as a
way to spy on a location from afar.
86. Camping Seeds: Favored by those who want at
least a little shelter if they get caught out in the elements,
camping seeds are small, tightly compacted nuts of what
looks and feels like canvas. Buried in the ground and
watered, the seeds grow into a sizable bush that resembles
a tent, with a central trunk supporting the leaves that
stretch down to the ground. These seeds will work in the
real world as well, but it takes a point of glamour for them
to sprout once they’ve been planted. Additionally, when
planted in the real world, the bush collapses to nothing
a day after it was planted. In the Hedge these bushes can
grow significantly over time, joining together to form nat-
ural pavilion tents which may attract groups of hobs, as
well as hunting parties of the Gentry looking for a place
to take their ease.
87. Lost Tales: These oddments grow beneath
17
sheltering limbs of trees, and are sometimes found in
abandoned hollows or at well-used camping sites. Look-
ing like a diary, with peach fuzz covering the hard shell
of the cover, “peeling” the layers allows one to read the
stories found inside. Often what’s recorded inside this
oddment is nonsensical ramblings; fragments of stories
told at the fireside, or a threat recorded without context
to give it real meaning. Many changelings collect these
oddments, carefully documenting when and where they
were found, believing there might be secrets learned from
fitting together the seemingly random information they
contain. Some believe they might provide the True Name
of a Keeper, help solve a disappearance or provide secrets
that would be otherwise valuable once discerned. Those
who obsess over these oddments tend to find their clarity
leaving them, though, the space where it was filled up by
the meanderings found in these Hedge-grown tomes.
88. Sparkers: Small cylindrical oddments that feel
more like a walnut than anything else, the stem of a
sparker is a hollow tube. When the side of the oddment
is pressed, gas wheezes up from inside, sparking against
the sharp edge of the upper lip. This causes a short-lived
blue flame to burst from the stem, which can be used to
light a cigarette, a candle or a pipe. Properly capped and
stored, sparkers can last for as long as a week, assuming
one isn’t a heavy smoker.
89. Citrus Scrub: Resembling a lumpy lime, scrub-
bers taste like soap for those who are unfortunate enough
to bite into one. The juices of this oddment will clean
practically anything, though, and it makes housework
a great deal easier. Often grown in pots or windowsills
of the kitchen in one’s hollow, cutting one of these odd-
ments in half and using it as a scrub can remove stains,
rust and more from nearly any surface or carpet.
90. Tree Tarts: A favorite of changelings who prefer
not to cook, these fruits have a crisp, crunchy exterior,
and a filling of fruit jam. The flavor varies depending on
where they’re plucked from, and a number of gardeners
have decided to see what varieties they can persuade the
Hedge to make. From strawberry, cherry and apricot, to
s’mores, brown sugar and one oddball variety that con-
tains scrambled eggs and imitation sausage, these tarts
are a common sight early in the day when breakfast is in
season.
91. Fairy Dust: A glimmering golden substance of-
ten found in the higher boughs of trees and brambles in
the Hedge, this oddment can be a lifesaver. Sprinkled on
one’s head, for the next hour they can fall much more
safely. Resolve all falls as normal, but any hob or change-
ling under this oddment’s effects may spend glamour as
a Reflexive action to negate bashing damage caused by
a fall on a 1 to 1 basis. This is limited only by the maxi-
mum amount of glamour a changeling currently possess-
es, and not by their Wyrd. Additionally, glamour spent
18 100 (Mostly) Harmless Goblin Fruits and Oddments to Find in The Hedge
in this way does not count against the normal amount of
glamour a changeling may spend in a round.
92. Wispers: An airy moss, wispers melt in one’s
mouth in a way that’s similar to cotton candy. Found in
windy places, there are some who believe this goblin fruit
catches secrets snatched by passing breezes. While many
changelings write such tales off as nothing more than su-
perstition, others claim they’ve had inexplicable flashes
of insight not long after eating a wisper. For one hour
equal to a changeling’s Wyrd, they gain a bonus die on
dice pools involving Empathy to discern lies.
93. Ogre’s Grip: Hedge legend tells of an ogre
named Bracken. An enforcer of his master’s will who was
punished whether he did a good job or a bad one, the
only thing that kept him going was his lover Arendale.
When his Keeper murdered Arendale to break Bracken’s
heart, there was only one thing left for the ogre to do.
He smashed his way into the heart of the mountains,
and took a forbidden sword that could slay the True Fae.
Once he had the blade in hand, Bracken tied it to his fist
with Arendale’s braid, taken as a last memento of her.
Impossible to disarm, his wrath shook the skies, and for
the first time in aeons one of the Gentry knew real fear.
This oddment, which feels soft and supple as silk, is like-
wise used by hobs and changelings to ensure their weap-
ons never leave their hands. Once a weapon is bound in
place by tying ogre’s grip around one’s hand, this odd-
ment must be cut away (taking a total of 5 lethal damage)
before it drops off. Doing this in combat requires a called
shot to the hand. If not cut away, ogre’s grip unwinds
itself when the wearer willingly sheathes their weapon.
94. Promise Glue: Looking like pink sap usually
found dribbling from the bottom branches of scrub bush-
es, promise glue feels more like an oil than an adhesive
when one first collects it. Once applied, though, all one
has to do is recite a vow they’ve taken, and upheld. This
causes the glue to harden with the strength of that vow.
A changeling might speak of their loyalty to their court,
their devotion to a lover or just their promise to get home
by dinner to set the glue. Promise glue can repair most
mundane items with the strength of a weld, though enter-
prising changelings have used it to seal doors, or to repair
arches they can use to make gateways into the Hedge.
Once set, promise glue lasts for one day.
95. Rust Root: A flaky red oddment that must be
handled with care, rust root is the bane of metal objects.
If rubbed around or against an object, rust root will deal
a single point of structural damage per round until it’s re-
moved, or the object is destroyed. Used by some change-
lings to eat through metal bars and handcuffs, or to de-
stroy door locks, only cold iron is immune to rust root’s
effects. Once used to destroy a single item, this oddment
dissipates into a flaky, useless powder.
96. Vermin Bane: This goblin fruit looks almost like
a purple honeycomb, with a smell that’s somewhere be-
tween lemongrass and sweet lime. While it is edible, ver-
min bane’s true benefits come from dabbing some of the
juice on one’s neck, or in the hollows of their wrists. For
one day afterward mortal insects will refuse to approach
someone who’s been anointed in this way. Even insects
native to the Hedge will be leery, requiring a success on
a Resolve + Composure check to approach or attack the
creature.
97. Ichor Slick: Found in crocks that grow in the
Hedge like tubers, ichor slick immediately smooths out
knots and tangles in one’s hair or beard, leaving it smooth
and glossy. Some varieties will also dye one’s hair for a
brief period of time. An additional benefit of using ichor
slick, though, is that for one hour per dot of the user’s
Wyrd they leave no fingerprints behind. This is one rea-
son a head of slicked-back hair is so often associated with
thieves and scoundrels in many changeling freeholds.
98. Lily Paddles: Huge lily pads which are usually
occupied by equally massive toads, lily paddles are large
enough they can be used as free-floating rafts. Change-
lings and hobs who make their homes in the damper

100 (Mostly) Harmless Goblin Fruits and Oddments to Find in The Hedge
parts of the Hedge often use these oddments to navigate
waterways, and to ford deeper streams when they don’t
want to go for a swim just to get to a nearby trod.
99. Bangers: With blooms that look like tightly-
wrapped firecrackers, bangers pop with a sound like a
starting pistol. In addition to being loud, it fills the air
with a sharp, acrid stench. These flowers don’t hurt any-
one in and of themselves, but they do tend to give away
one’s position in the Hedge when they’re accidentally set
off... which might be a death sentence of another variety,
depending on what comes to investigate the noise.
100. Reap Lanterns: Only growing in the Autumn
season, reap lanterns look like fearsome Jack-o-lanterns
hanging from twisted, spindly trees. Prized by change-
lings who participate in the Hunt of the Fallen Leaves,
carrying a reap lantern casts one in a fearful gloom, al-
lowing them to take on the visage of the pitiless hunter.
While carrying a reap lantern one is immune to purely
mundane sources of fear, and they gain a bonus die on
dice pools involving Intimidation. A reap lantern, once
plucked, will burn through the night before finally going
out, its magic snuffed by the morning light.

Fruits and Oddments to Find in

The Hedge

The Hedge is a dangerous place, filled with deadly creatures, hungry plants
and bizarre relics lost to time and legend. It is an ever-changing nightmare that
stands between the mortal world and the world of Arcadia. However, there are
useful things to be found in the Hedge, too. Strange fruits that put mortal foods to
shame. Roots that can suck out poison. Flowers that cure diseases. Creepers that
can be worn like armor, and thorns that can be wielded like swords.

Goblin fruits and oddments come in a dizzying array, and just like the Hedge
itself there is always more to find. The following examples can be used to add fla-
vorful options, or even useful tools, to your Changeling: The Lost chronicle!
