[[File:Earrings.jpg|thumb|right|[[Mathiu Silverberg]] relates the importance of the Earrings, [[Odessa Silverberg|Odessa]]'s memento.]]The '''Earrings''' (イヤリング, ''Iyaringu,'' Earring) were a memento of [[Odessa Silverberg]]. In her last moments, Odessa asked [[Hero (Suikoden)|McDohl]] to deliver the earring to [[Mathiu Silverberg]] in [[Seika]]<ref>"I have...two requests. First, give this earring... to a fellow called Mathiu...in the village of Seika..." - Odessa Silverberg ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.

Mathiu at first refused the earring out of a wish to not be involved in Odessa's revolutionary ideals<ref>"She was a fool. I knew it would come to this. I can't accept this earring. Please leave." - Mathiu Silverberg ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> but even after deciding to become the strategist of the [[Toran Liberation Army]], he still refused<ref>"Earring?... You should keep this." - Mathiu Silverberg ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, noting that the earring showed the location of the Liberation Army's hideout<ref>"Look at it closely. There's a map inscribed in it that shows the location of the Liberation Army's hideout. Whoever holds this earring is destined to lead the Freedom Fighters." - Mathiu Silverberg ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Believing that Odessa wanted Tir to succeed her as leader, Mathiu pressed Tir into keeping the earring and taking up the mantle of leadership<ref>"But you Tir, however, are a born leader. I'm sure Odessa realized that. That's why she wanted me to meet you. Please accept this earring, and live out your destiny as leader of the Freedom Fighters." - Mathiu Silverberg ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
