The Emperor's Amulet is based off of the Talisman of Charlemagne which is an reliquary encolpion that is rumored to to have belonged to Charlemagne, a Frankish king of the Carolingian dynasty who was crowned Emperor of the Romans by Pope Leo III in AD 800. This rumor very well may be false, and be related to him in name only, as there is dubious evidence to say that it did belong to him.[1] It is said to contain a splinter of the True Cross, which is the real cross that Jesus was crucified on, as well as a lock of hair from the Virgin Mary,[2] making it a holy relic. It was stored at Aachen Cathedral (now located in Germany) until 1804, when the Bishop of Aachen gave it to the wife of Napoleon; it reached its current location of Reims, France in 1919 when it passed into the hands of the Archbishop of Reims.
Design
The Emperor's Amulet is a Treasure Demon, with a ghost protruding from the pendant of the Talisman of Charlemagne. The pendant is a large, blue-grey sapphire, surrounded by smaller garnets, sapphires, and emeralds. The sapphire within the pendant is notable due to the fact that it's the largest known sapphire from the 17th century, being nearly 190 ct, and of Sri Lankan origin.[3]
When using Emperor's Amulet to make a new Persona, the available bonus traits may vary if there is overlap with the trait belonging to the second Persona used for fusion.
"I see... So it was my destiny to find myself within you! My new name is Emperor's Amulet. I am a Persona who'll be with you. From now on, I'm on your side."
Also known as Charlemagne's talisman, it is said to make its owner an emperor. In between the two gems is a piece of Jesus' cross and a hair of the Virgin Mary.
