Akhet-hedj, Rising of the Sun, | Akhet-hedj, or "Rising of the Sun," is a necklace featuring a brilliant golden stone that constantly shines, regardless of time. It is part of the former King of Gods' royal regalia, who, after passing power to his brother Tjafar, allowed his artifacts to scatter across the world, either to aid the faithful or, perhaps, misplaced during his flirtations with mortals. Though newly introduced, Akhet-hedj holds symbolic importance due to its divine origin. The river tribes, keepers of ancient traditions lost under Allorn rule, immortalized Akhet’s jewelry in their poems and cave paintings. Legends suggest Tjafar crafted these pieces as birthday gifts, creating new jewelry each year until Akhet had so much, he gave them away freely to mortals during his travels. Thus, the artifacts grew in both mystery and significance across the land. | ||
==Description== | |||
Akhet-hedj is a necklace of thin Living Metal that ripples, adjusting to the wearer's size and needs. Even without controlling the metal, it pulls back when threatened or snagged. At its center, a rectangular frame features hieroglyphic verses of Khama holy poetry. A golden stone, amber-like in color, is set in the middle, glowing brighter under the sun’s direct gaze, symbolizing Akhet's divine presence. The necklace responds protectively, reflecting the sun’s light and shimmering with divine energy. | |||

Artifact Mechanics are split between Permanent Mechanics, Sparked Mechanics and Sparked Combat Mechanics. Permanent Mechanics are always available to the wielder of the Artifact. Sparked Mechanics and Sparked Combat Mechanics are only available if the Artifact has an Artifactspark. Sparked Combat Mechanics are noted separately, because this makes them easier to find, but they are no different from Sparked Mechanics in general.

Artifacts are very cool, and make a Character super powerful. That being said, due to circumstances of Roleplay, a Character may end up holding onto an Artifact for months on end. This is generally not a problem, but we believe that Artifacts because of their uniqueness, should never be held onto in perpetuity by one Player. After a few months, it is time for the next player to be able to enjoy the artifact, and for this reason, Collectibles exist. After 120 days of non-consecutive Artifact ownership, an Artifact is automatically confiscated, and the Player who lost it is given a Collectible. Collectibles are thematically and aesthetically similar to the Artifact, meaning the loss of an Artifact does not visually detract from a Character's established design. However, they cannot hold Artifactsparks and only inherit the Permanent Mechanics from the Artifact they were generated from (including the rules limiting their use). On the other hand, Collectibles can never be stolen from their owner, a Collectible is owned forever, and there is no upper limit to the amount of Collectibles a Character can have, or wield/use at the same time.

Akhet-hedj, or "Rising of the Sun," is a necklace featuring a brilliant golden stone that constantly shines, regardless of time. It is part of the former King of Gods' royal regalia, who, after passing power to his brother Tjafar, allowed his artifacts to scatter across the world, either to aid the faithful or, perhaps, misplaced during his flirtations with mortals.

Description
Akhet-hedj is a necklace of thin Living Metal that ripples, adjusting to the wearer's size and needs. Even without controlling the metal, it pulls back when threatened or snagged. At its center, a rectangular frame features hieroglyphic verses of Khama holy poetry. A golden stone, amber-like in color, is set in the middle, glowing brighter under the sun’s direct gaze, symbolizing Akhet's divine presence. The necklace responds protectively, reflecting the sun’s light and shimmering with divine energy.
Artifact Mechanics
Artifact Mechanics are split between Permanent Mechanics, Sparked Mechanics and Sparked Combat Mechanics. Permanent Mechanics are always available to the wielder of the Artifact. Sparked Mechanics and Sparked Combat Mechanics are only available if the Artifact has an Artifactspark. Sparked Combat Mechanics are noted separately, because this makes them easier to find, but they are no different from Sparked Mechanics in general.

Collectible Artifact
Artifacts are very cool, and make a Character super powerful. That being said, due to circumstances of Roleplay, a Character may end up holding onto an Artifact for months on end. This is generally not a problem, but we believe that Artifacts because of their uniqueness, should never be held onto in perpetuity by one Player. After a few months, it is time for the next player to be able to enjoy the artifact, and for this reason, Collectibles exist. After 120 days of non-consecutive Artifact ownership, an Artifact is automatically confiscated, and the Player who lost it is given a Collectible. Collectibles are thematically and aesthetically similar to the Artifact, meaning the loss of an Artifact does not visually detract from a Character's established design. However, they cannot hold Artifactsparks and only inherit the Permanent Mechanics from the Artifact they were generated from (including the rules limiting their use). On the other hand, Collectibles can never be stolen from their owner, a Collectible is owned forever, and there is no upper limit to the amount of Collectibles a Character can have, or wield/use at the same time. Collectibles may be traded away by their owner if they are unable to use the Permanent Mechanic due to the use limitation. To summarize this Artifact's Collectible properties:
- When Akhet-hedj is removed, this is IC taken as the Artifact's sentience seeking out a new muse for Akhet. However, Akhet's regard always remains on the owner, detaching one of its infinite chain links to form a Sunburnt Necklace for the owner inspired by the original.
- The Sunburnt Necklace Collectible inherits the Permanent Mechanic of Akhet-hedj, but can only be used by Khama Characters who are loyal to the Gods (new or old). While there are several Sunburnt Necklaces, each looks unique, though should be inspired by the appearance of Akhet-hedj.

Artifact Mechanics
Akhet-hedj is a Khama God Magic Artifact. There are rules associated with Artifact Ownership, see the Artifact Page. Artifacts also provide Mechanics.

- Akhet-hedj is blessed with the vitality of the sun. Wearers gain Remet Asha heritage mechanics. If the wearer is already a Remet Asha, gain Mechanics from another Asha heritage. Additionally, if held by a mundane non-Asha, the wearer is granted access to the elusive Ashal Kingdoms.

- Akhet’s creations exist to remind Elves of their place. After contributing to the defeat of an Elf (including half-heritage elves) in combat (contributing means dealing at least 4HP of damage), the user heals +2HP and gains a +1 to Strength (breaks cap with no cap), which stacks per Elf.
