The {{Lore Link|Amulet of Kings}}, also called the '''Amulet of the Kings of Glory''',{{ref|name=TCA|{{Cite book|The Chim-el Adabal}}}} was a pendant traditionally worn by the ruling emperor of {{Lore Link|Cyrodiil}}. In the center of the amulet was the Chim-el Adabal, also known as the Red Diamond,{{ref|name=AoK|{{Cite book|The Amulet of Kings}}}} a huge {{Lore Link|Soul Gems|soul gem}} of {{Lore Link|Ayleid}} origin. It was held in a golden clasp surrounded by eight smaller gems that represented the {{Lore Link|Eight Divines}} of the original Cyrodilic pantheon, created by {{Lore Link|Alessia|Queen Alessia}}. It served as the symbol of the divine right of the Cyrodilic emperors. The amulet was an important component of the coronation ceremony and a powerful artifact when used for divination. The soul of each reigning emperor was enshrined within the central stone, presumably during the coronation ritual involving the Dragonfires and the divine Covenant. In this way Cyrodiil's rulers were brought together in death, forming an 'oversoul' that could provide counsel to their successors.{{ref|name=WWY|{{Cite book|Where Were You When the Dragon Broke?}}}} The amulet could only be worn by certain individuals&mdash;those who could be said to have the 'Dragon Blood' in their veins. The specific requirements, however, have been a subject of debate, and they may simply have called for the attributes of a ruler or some divine mandate.<noinclude>
