W’alį Wikče Huǧmiyą Pendant

The wheel pendant is a significant symbol for the Astorian people. It represents the whole of their society and religion and specifies each group within. The wheel has 10 spokes on it and each spoke has the name of one of the anointed lords on it. The pendant is engraved on both sides and the middles represent the two faces of the anointed mother. Below is a list of the anointed lords and what they represent (Credit to Lindsay).
