History
On June 28th, 2022, Darkest Dungeon 2 had a massive overhaul to each and every Trinket in the game. According to the patch notes, the goal of this overhaul was "to allow players to get more creative and push hero boundaries further via strategy-altering effects (...) we've put a lot of effort into also making sure that trinkets are fun, and thematically rich." -RedHookNatisha - DARKEST DUNGEON II - TRINKETS AND BAUBLES

Trivia

 * The Hag's Hoard Trinket is a reference to The Hag from Darkest Dungeon.
 * Hero Trinkets (with the exception of Bounty Hunter's and some of Leper's) are all references to the Hero's Shrine backstories.
 * Occultist's Shambler's Eye Trinket is likely to be dropped by the Shambler if the Trinket is unlocked and an Occultist is in the party.
