Mark of the Mistress
The mark of the Mistress is a magical amulet that is worn by witches who have been initiated into the rites of the Coven of the Eternal Mistress. The amulet is made out of pink quartz and silver and charged with magical energy in a ceremony in the Eye, the back of the amulet is engraved with the letter 'A' in Ludwiggian script. Only the person who wore the amulet during the consecration ritual can wear it, as the amulet will attempt to kill anyone who tries to steal it. Wearing the amulet protects the wearer from some of the dangerous fauna on the island of Murder, such as magenta scorpions and magenta crows.
A special Mark of the Mistress is worn by the princess and the six consuls, leaders of the jurisdictions, of the Confoederatio Aemilia, together called the Seven Riders. These seven amulets are a symbol of power and allegiance to the Eternal Mistress.
