Bloodstone Amulet
Amulets are usually magical devices that are commonly worn around the neck, suspended from a chain.  The type of chain that comes with an amulet generally increases the item's aesthetic value, not its magical properties.  Only one amulet can be dangled from the neck at a time.

Harper Amulet
All of the Harpers that you have met in this area were wearing one of these amulets.  Perhaps it somehow identifies one as being a Harper.
Could there be a section of this building that can only be accessed by
Harpers?

This tarnished trinket is of little value.  Inscribed on the back are the words:  "My love, I implore you to keep this pendant near you forever, even unto death and beyond."

Jhor The Bleeder +2
Jhor the Bleeder, Bastard Sword +2
This blade belonged to Ho Mang, a traveler from Kara-Tur who accepted dubious service at court throughout Faerun.  Skilled in "persuasion", he would use this sword to perform the "Death Of A Thousand Cuts", an ancient ritual from his homeland involving a lengthy series of small, painful incisions.  The properties of the blade prevent blood from clotting, and the victim slowly bleeds to death.  The sword was stolen, and its whereabouts have been a mystery until now.:
