Lanyard

A lanyard printed to mimic the traveler's scarf. Currently there is no 100% confirmation this is an official piece of merchandise but several factors are leading to the belief it is. It is assumed that the lanyard was a free promotional item at the 2011 Gamescom (August 17-21), a trade fair/industry convention for video games in Germany. Lanyards are well known to be a highlight of the convention, making for an economy of online selling as well as exchanges/trades in person at the convention itself due to them not being released outside. The Journey lanyard has been available for sale on eBay by various sellers, all of which are based in the European Union. The print quality, design, and craftsmanship of the lanyards amoungst these various sellers are all identical. The sellers themselves all have positive eBay ratings, are seasoned accounts of various ages, and some of which specialize in exclusive promotional gaming merchandise reselling (with certain items explicitly labeled from which convention/booth/year it came from).
