A '''Journey cloth''' is a burlap cloth used in a variety of [[Yeesha's_Journeys|Journey]]s to track an [[explorer]]'s progress. The name is used interchangeably to describe any Journey's cloth, or to specifically refer to the cloths used in [[Yeesha's Journey]]. Not every Journey utilizes these cloths, but those that do each have their own unique design. Yeesha's Journey uses rectangular yellow cloths with a spiraling hand symbol, while [[The Path of the Shell]] uses circular green cloths with a shell symbol.

When touched, a Journey cloth is able to recognize who touched it, how many of the other cloths in that [[Age]] that person has also touched, and which cloth was last touched. The symbol on the cloth will also glow when touched, making a distinctive sound.

Journey cloths also generally serve as "bookmarks", except where noted below. After touching a cloth for the first time in an Age, a new [[Journey bookmark|bookmark]] appears in the [[Linking Book]] for that Age in the user's [[Relto]] bookshelf. This bookmark can then be used to quickly return to that location within the Age.

All of these cloths must be activated in order to complete the Journey, but unlike other Journeys that use cloths, there is no Journey door to activate. Instead, each cloth activates a segment of a shell [[linking portal|portal]] which, once completed, will link explorers to another location.
