Amulet of Vaka - Awakened

Awakened

"Hope is what makes us strong. It is why we are here. It's what we fight with when all else is lost." - Unknown

An ornate golden amulet with an enormous opal in the center. Surrounded by nine smaller gems of varying color. As the Amulet Awakens, the gems grow in color, and flash as they grow slightly larger. Etched runes cover the exposed metal of the amulet as the opal takes on a spectacular sheen. Created by the goddess Vaka on the eve of her demise, this Amulet has seen countless battles over the ages. Last wielded by Aera Windfeather, Eighth Oracle of the Wind to free the city of Aetheria from the grip of the Karavala Sovereignty, it then fell into the hands of the Oracle of Peace, Penelope Octavia Marcella Emiline Rose, who entrusted it to one Kaleena Starseeker, Oracle of the Moons in order to keep her from falling into the grasp of the Betrayers. One of the legendary Artifacts of Vaka.
