Earring

The Earring (イヤリング, Iyaringu, Earring) were a memento of Odessa Silverberg. It was localized as the Earrings in the 1998 English localization of Suikoden.

In her last moments, Odessa asked McDohl to deliver the earring to Mathiu Silverberg in Seika.

Mathiu at first refused the earring out of a wish to not be involved in Odessa's revolutionary ideals but even after deciding to become the strategist of the Toran Liberation Army, he still refused, noting that the earring showed the location of the Liberation Army's hideout.

Believing that Odessa wanted McDohl to succeed her as leader, Mathiu pressed him into keeping the earring and taking up the mantle of leadership.

Trivia

 * The 1998 English localization refers to the item as 'Earring' even though the Japanese item name, as well as the script in both languages, make it clear that there is only one earring.
