Feather of Judgment is an Artifact in the set Gilded Dreams.
Description[]
"In the new world, everything shall be good."
In ancient times, the edict of the high heavens descended into silence, and the land lost its master.
The past, one of civilization and ease, was abandoned, submerged in choking darkness.
Later, the law, which even time could not reverse, would once again take the measure of all life in the desert.
A feather to weigh hearts, and molten metal to measure divine wisdom, both ruling with selfless rationality.
Obeying the judgment of the God King, the law rooted in blood would be carved upon the desert paradise.
And when the ideals of governance were twisted by deep sorrow, the dignitaries became abettors,
Ignoring the palace foundations even as they gradually sank into the quicksand, moving forward toward an insane, light-less future.
"All betrayals must be mercilessly judged,"
"And the judgment must be utter devastation."
Later, the rules would be corrupted by pride and become shackles,
And the unfortunate citizenry would have their destinies chained by their God King's choice.
Trivia[]
- The concept of a feather which weighs hearts is derived from the "feather of Maat." Maat was the Ancient Egyptian concept of truth, balance, order, and justice, as well as the name of the goddess who embodied this concept. At the end of a person's life, a person's heart — a part of their soul — would be weighed on a scale against the feather of Maat. If the heart was lighter than the feather, the person led a virtuous life and would move on to Aaru, the namesake of Aaru Village.
