Someone holding a Token of Favor has friends in powerful places. Or at least people who find him or her useful.

This tiny stone has symbols carved deep into its smooth surface. Whatever they literally mean, they seem to be interpreted by jailers and law enforcement as “Let this one go free at your earliest opportunity. Don’t ask questions. Be quiet about it.”

Is it some kind of charm magic? A sign that the bearer is friends with something dangerous? A symbol of affiliation with a vast conspiracy that jailers and guards have been sworn into as well? Impossible to say for sure. But anytime a character is arrested by the authorities in Neverwinter (maybe elsewhere, who knows?) and this stone is found on the character’s person,  prison becomes a very temporary problem. Barred doors are left unlocked, guards become very uninterested in the escapee (though many look very uncomfortable about this), and confiscated belongings including the Token of Favor are left neatly packaged somewhere near the exit, which is, naturally, unlocked and unguarded. Prisoners trying to follow the bearer of the stone are not shown such favor, as the authorities close in on them and let the stone-bearer leave their follower(s) behind.
