Carved pear tree disk	A carved wooden disk depicting an armoured woman, sword in hand, having just given birth to three children. Even though they are newborn, the children stand proudly on two legs in reverence of their mother. One child holds a paintbrush, one child holds a ribbon and another holds a carpenter's hammer. The mark of famous woodcarver and historian Shimo Baht Billows has been carved into the rim of the disk.
Cypress disk	A wooden disk carving made from cypress wood. The illustration carved onto the disk is quite gruesome in its depiction of a battlefield. Frozen corpses litter the ground, covered in frigid night. A dawning light shines in on the battlefield, lead by a crescent-wielding woman flanked by legions of steadfast soldiers and a dark knight almost invisible in the shadow of the battle. The Four Winds have been carved, marching into battle on the side of the woman. The dawn woman and the dark knight stand opposite a terrible grinning being with the moon at its back.

Fig tree disk	A fig-wood disk carved with menacing image. A royal woman, exaggeratedly carved to appear pure and good is marrying a sorcerer. Next to the sorcerer is another man of similar height and build. Both men have the same unnerving grin plastered on their faces. The other side of the disk shows a gathering of hooded men standing around the royal woman and influences her mind as she stamps something with a signet ring.

Disk of foreign wood	A marble-coloured disk carved from a specific species of tree that commonly grows in the Malku lands.

Oiled oak tree disk	An oak tree disk most likely taken from a ship due to the fact that the wood has been impregnated with waterproofing riverroot oil.
