An Earring of Whisper[1] is a gemmed and enchanted item that delivers and receives Message spells to and from the other connected earrings within five hundred feet.[2][3] To send a message, the wearer must activate the earring by touching it, although it will passively receive messages.  Tiberius Stormwind designed the Earrings of Whisper and created five for Vox Machina in the pre-stream adventures.[4]  An additional earring was enchanted by Allura Vysoren.[5]

Ownership

When Vox Machina regularly had seven or eight active members, the party divided the earrings amongst themselves strategically.[citation needed]  With Tiberius's departure (and later death) and Pike Trickfoot's frequent absences from the group, the remaining six active members each began wearing an earring at all times.[citation needed]

Notable Uses

  • Vax'ildan used an Earring of Whisper to alert Vox Machina to his capture by the Briarwoods through the inaugural use of their new emergency codeword, "jenga".[6]
  • Pike used her Earring of Whisper in "Jugs and Rods" (1x94) to talk to an absent Scanlan while she was drunk.
