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—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>
==History==
<includeonly><br><br></includeonly>According to legend, the Chim-el Adabal was formed when a drop of blood fell from the {{Lore Link|Heart of Lorkhan}} as it was flung to {{Lore Link|Tamriel}}, and landed down an {{Lore Link|Ayleid Wells|Ayleid Well}}. The {{Lore Link|magicka}} within fused it to a strong red crystal, and the Ayleids fashioned it into a great gem.{{ref|{{Cite book|Chim-el Adabal: A Ballad}}}} It entered the annals of human history when {{Lore Link|Akatosh}} (in some stories {{Lore Link|Shezarr}}) forged the Covenant with Alessia and her (symbolic) descendants while she lay in her death bed. Chim-el Adabal was fastened in an amulet and became both the symbol of the Covenant and of the legitimacy of Cyrodiil's rulers.{{ref|name=AoK}}{{ref|name=ToSA|{{Cite book|Trials of St. Alessia}}}} Following the breakup of the {{Lore Link|Alessian Empire}}, the Amulet of Kings was lost amid chaotic civil war and its attendant looting. According to legend, a certain King Hrol tracked down the spirit of Saint Alessia, who wore the Amulet of Kings around her neck. They coupled, and a hill rose on the spot. The infant Reman Cyrodiil was found upon the crest, wearing the amulet on his brow.{{ref|name=R|{{Cite book|Remanada}}}} The Amulet of Kings was restored to prominence during the Reman years, lending legitimacy to that dynasty. After that time, the Dragonfires ritual became essential to the coronation of each new Emperor. During the ritual, the new monarch was soul-linked to the Amulet of Kings and sent to the {{Lore Link|Temple of the One}} to light the enchanted Dragonfires, which then burned until his death. After the long decline of the Interregnum, {{Lore Link|Tiber Septim|General Talos}} reputedly recovered the amulet from the tomb of the Remans beneath Sancre Tor after retaking it from the Nordic and Breton invaders.{{ref|name=BoST|{{Cite book|Battle of Sancre Tor}}}}
===Interregnum and the Alliance War===
In the middle of the {{Lore Link|Second Era}}, the {{Lore Link|Five Companions}} embarked on a quest to rediscover the Amulet of Kings. Their leader, {{Lore Link|Varen Aquilarios}}, was led to believe that the Amulet could be used in a ritual which would rekindle the {{Lore Link|Dragonfires}} and make him a true {{Lore Link|Dragonborn}}. This would allow him to be recognized as the legitimate ruler of the Empire. After years of searching, the Companions eventually found the Amulet. In {{Year|2E 579}}, they initiated the ritual in the {{Lore Link|Imperial City}}. It was then that {{Lore Link|Mannimarco}}, another one of the Companions, revealed his treachery and corrupted the ritual to break the ancient covenant between {{Lore Link|Akatosh}} and mortals. This caused the catastrophic event known as the {{Lore Link|Soulburst}}. In the subsequent chaos, {{Lore Link|Sai Sahan}} took the Amulet of Kings and fled. He then hid it within the ruins of {{Lore Link|Sancre Tor}}.
The Amulet was recovered from Sancre Tor in {{Year|2E 582}} by the [[Lore:Hero|Vestige]], Abnur Tharn, Sahan and {{Lore Link|Lyris Titanborn}}. It was later used to perform the ritual which imbued the Vestige with the power of Akatosh. However, one of the Companions had to be sacrificed in the process. With the power granted by the ritual, the Vestige was able to defeat {{Lore Link|Molag Bal}} and reclaim their soul.{{ref|name=ON|Events of [[Online:Online|ESO]].}}
===Oblivion Crisis===
The Champion of Cyrodiil recovered the amulet from the depths of the Imperial Subterrane after the assassination of Emperor {{Lore Link|Uriel Septim VII}} at the hands of Daedric cultists. The Champion then delivered it to the Grandmaster of the {{Lore Link|Blades}}. After escorting [[Lore:Martin Septim|Martin]], Uriel's illegitimate son, back to Grandmaster {{Lore Link|Jauffre}}, the Amulet was stolen by the Mythic Dawn. The Champion was forced to enter the Paradise of {{Lore Link|Mankar Camoran}} in order to recover it. This achieved, preparations were made for Martin's coronation, but the ceremony was interrupted by a Daedric assault on the capital. After fighting his way to the Temple of the One, Martin was forced to smash the amulet, this being the only way to defeat {{Lore Link|Mehrunes Dagon}}. The power of the intermingled blood of the Covenant summoned a rare [[Lore:Aedra|Aedric]] avatar in the form of Akatosh, a fiery dragon. Dagon was defeated, but the near four thousand year history of the Amulet of Kings was ended.
