Old kings amulet is a Plain relic, without an affinity. It holds an old piece of Covenant-stuff, the substance of the Seal-shards, and its treasure spirit answers to Wefan, the Weaver.
While it is held, the heroes in its holder's service learn more from every battle. A Wanderer already grows more effective the longer it serves; under the amulet, each fight teaches it faster. A lord who keeps a hero in the field gains the most from it.
Heaven counts the amulet in its holder's Weight, so the Law of Equals sets that kingdom among heavier rivals, and a conqueror can carry it off as spoils.
No one knows who made it. The songs of the Human lineages say an early lord of one of their lines wore it. Even if that is true, the amulet did not pass to his heir. An heir inherits a lineage's name and songs, never its property. The amulet crossed the Unsealings only because Tellan, the Keeper of Tallies chose to keep it among the Mnemoliths.
There is one in each Turning. If it is lost, its shard returns to his keeping for the recasting, and no copy is made.
