Wedjat Eye
Last updated 2026-02-25
The Wedjat Eye, a green gemstone with the ability to store memories, is an ancient relic that King Deshret once gifted to Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. It was rediscovered in the present day and crafted into two amulets, which are now in the custody of the Temple of Silence.
Story
According to legend, during the first Sabzeruz Festival, Nabu Malikata and King Deshret each prepared a surprise gift for Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. The former gave her the Khvarena to protect the rainforest, while the latter gave her the Wedjat Eye to record the moments the three spent together. However, the Wedjat Eye was lost to the sands after Rukkhadevata's death in the Cataclysm.[1]
Several months before the present, the Eye was unearthed as a cracked piece of ore in an old desert ruin. It made its way to a craftsman who, upon seeing that it was split down the middle, chose to turn it into two amulets, which they then sold in the desert.[2] They were purchased by Candace and Sethos, respectively, each of whom had sensed an odd energy from the gem. On a hunch, Sethos consulted the records at the Temple of Silence and connected the gem to the legend of the first Sabzeruz Festival, which he later shared with Candace when they met up by coincidence. He then proposed that the Temple of Silence take custody of the amulets, as they were responsible for preserving artifacts from the time of King Deshret, to which Candace readily agreed.[1]
Though the Wedjat Eye has lost most of its power over the centuries, it is still capable of replaying and recording short fragments of memories. It apparently also contains an "unusual elemental energy,"[3] and only seems to respond to the people of the desert (i.e., the descendants of King Deshret).[1]

Etymology
- The stylized "eye" of the goddess Wedjat is one of the most iconic symbols of ancient Egypt. The "left wedjat eye" was associated with the god Horus and the "right wedjat eye" with the god Ra, both of whom were protective deities. The eyes were often depicted as green or blue, perhaps as a nod to Wedjat's name: "Green One."
