Kabint Arkansi

"Even the lowliest of the Kedolye will have a kabint arkansi somewhere on their person at nearly all times, whether in the shape of a ring, pendant, or crown."~The Stronghold

A kabint arkansi, or 'Arkan's Embrace' is a catchall term used to describe various amulets to Arkan that the Kedolye of Dakura wear on their person. These range in form from rings to necklaces to bracelets.

Significance

The kabint arkansi are culturally and religiously significant to the Kedolye as they are seen as physical reminders of the merciful embrace of their chief goddess Arkan. Every newborn will have had a small kabint made for them by their parents before birth, this is meant to symbolize how the mercy of Arkan is present from the very beginning of a person's life and will be with them throughout it.

Raw materials & Components

One common factor of the kabint arkansi are that all of them contain at least a small fragment of Bloodstone as the stone is seen as representative of Arkan's mercy and protection. The composition of individual kabints are dependent on the class and wealth of their owners with wealthier Kedolye having a kabint made of gold or silver while a poorer one may have one made of iron or even leather. It is worth noting that even the wealthiest Kedolye will refrain from putting other precious stones into their kabint as other precious stones are often representative of other gods and goddesses and the kabint is meant to honor Arkan only.
