The Tehlin Silver Scales, a polished necklace of balance scales crafted from silver, serve as the preeminent symbol of authority and justice within the Tehlin order in The Kingkiller Chronicle. Worn prominently over the grey robes of Tehlin priests, these scales embody the dual principles of equilibrium and moral judgment, functioning both as a rank insignia and a literal emblem of weighing truth against falsehood. Though introduced in The Name of the Wind as a marker of priestly power, their significance endures unchanging across the series, underscoring the Tehlin church's unwavering role in the world's religious and societal framework amid escalating conflicts.
