The Hauhet Amulet is a Chronoseptic magical artifact that grants its user the ability to travel through time. The name of the amulet is a reference to Hauhet—the Shedethan name for Chronepsis—who the Prehistoric people of Ta-Shedet worshipped among their Pantheon of Deities (usually depicting her with the head of a butterfly, a likely reference to the Butterfly Effect and her domain of time).
Appearance[edit | edit source]
The amulet is shaped like half an hourglass—split symmetrically down the middle—with a purple wing resembling a bird or Dragon. Shedethan priests would have recognized its shape as pertaining to Hauhet.
Properties[edit | edit source]
When activated on its own, the amulet produces unstable time fissures and can only be used to travel into the past. However, when paired with itself from elsewhere on the Timeline to make a “complete” hourglass, the power of the amulet stabilizes and its user is able to fully attune to it…enabling them to freely traverse the Timeline both backwards and forwards. In this way, the amulet is itself a Time Paradox as it can only be used at full power by folding time to allow it to exist twice in a single location.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The reason for the amulet’s existence is not yet known, but it may have originally been created to be used by the Eyes of Chronepsis for resolving temporal anomalies.
- The most recent known owner of the amulet is Ardemas Langford, who excavated it from the dunes of central Pteris in 999 PR alongside other artifacts of Shedethan origin.
