Skyrim 10th Anniversary: An Amulet of Talos banned by the Aldmeri Dominion.

An Amulet of Talos banned by the Aldmeri Dominion.

Amulet of Talos: As part of the peace treaty between the weakening Cyrodillic Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion, any worship or veneration of Talos is forbidden. Talos was once a mortal human but rose to become a god. The Elven supremacists of the Aldmeri Dominion despise the idea of a mere human reaching the position of divinity and therefore work to stamp out the worship of Talos by any means necessary. Devout worshipers of the now banned god carry these amulets to ensure the worship of Talos survives.

On the fourth day of Skyrim,
tenth anniversary,
a Talos icon,
knee seeking arrows,
Golden Dragon Claw,
and a helmet of iron and horn.

I went with the Skyrim concept art for the Amulet of Talos instead of the game art because I thought the spear head looked more compelling than the axe head shaped amulet in the game. I will say this is probably a dangerous amulet to wear around your neck, but it could come in handy as a punching dagger in an emergency.

With day four of our Skyrim celebration done we look forward to tomorrow. Another symbol of a devout follower, but to an altogether different being of worship.

Be excellent to everyone.
