Oblivion talk:Amulet of Kings

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

I edited this page considerable. Please forgive me as there are many names I cannot remember (the dragon god for one...), and as such I left the stub attachment on the page. Please improve on what I wrote, as I know little of the Amulet's history, and this is one of the most important items in the main quest of Oblivion. --Joshua Boniface 00:18, 29 August 2006 (EDT)

I am currently working on the Tamriel:Amulet of Kings article (yet to be posted), and will transclude the data pertinent to such in Oblivion once it is complete (say, in a week or so). That much aside, you have done a nice job on the article. There is some data that is ambiguous (and some that is wrong), however, it is of little import, as the overall effect is superb. Good work!

Oh, also, the "dragon god" is Akatosh.

I added some history I remember reading somewhere. I'm new and still struggle with editing, but could someone add some more links if they feel like some are missing? -- Anonymous 17:06, 30 June 2007 (EDT)

Considering the fact that the Amulet must have been worn by an Heir of the first Queen through the centuries, it could be interesting if anyone had noticed any apperance of it in history. I especially wonder where it has been during the long the period between the end of the First Era and the beginning of the second one, When the Akaviri potentate ruled the empire

[edit] Not a glitch

Anonymous user 212.238.240.215 posted this on the main page:

During the main quest: Dagon Shrine, Mankar Camoran can be seen wearing the amulet, which means he should be a Septim (which is most unlikely).

Quoting directly from Wikipedia:

"It is unknown how Mankar Camoran was able to wear the Amulet of Kings, since only those of Dragon blood can wear it. However, it is said in the Making of Oblivion Documentary, that Mankar Camoran is descended from another line of Princes, and is trying to claim Tamriel for them. This may provide insight as why he can wear the Amulet of Kings."

[edit] Using Amulet of Kings

Is there a possible way to wear, keep, and drop the Amulet of Kings? And is it a Daedric artifact? (This is for Xbox 360) Added by: Cloud strife

(question was moved here after originally being posted at UESPWiki:Reference Desk)

No, it is not supposed to be an item that the player uses. As for whether or not it's an artifact, we've chosen not to add it to the page Oblivion:Artifacts because it is not a useful item to the player. See the discussion at Oblivion_Talk:Artifacts#New Criteria, for example. Even ignoring its usefulness, it would not be categorized as a Daedric artifact, because it was not created by one of the Daedric Princes. If anything, it would be categorized as an Aedric artifact, because it was created by the Aedra Akatosh. --Nephele^Talk 17:25, 31 December 2007 (EST)

[edit] Doesn't make sense.

The whole plot surrounding the Amulet is swiss cheese, from a plot consistency perspective.

1. Alessia wasn't a Septim. She was the one who made the covenant with Akatosh.

2. The Remans weren't Septims. They possessed the Amulet for most of its existence, and apparently it worked just fine.

3. Tiber Septim found the amulet in Reman III's tomb at Sancre Tor. So what?

4a. No mention is made of the Dragonfires prior to the Oblivion quest arc, in any literature, ever.

4b. The Dragonfires would have failed during the Akaviri Interregnum as well, and no mention is made of that.

5. Martin is also not a Septim, as in fact most of the Septim rulers were descended from Tiber Septim's brother, Agnorith. Tiber Septim's bloodline died with Pelagius I, his immediate heir, who died childless. Every ruler from Kintyra merely took the name of Septim, to legitimize their claim to Tiber Septim's legacy. They are not his descendants, and therefore do not possess "the blood of Tiber Septim".

6. Uriel IV wasn't even descended from Agnorith: his mother was a Septim's queen, and his father was a commoner. He was only a Septim by legality, not blood. Yet there is no mention of the Amulet or the Dragonfires failing him.

Given these facts, why can't the Player Character wear the Amulet?

From a lore perspective, Oblivion's core story is Doubleplus Epic Fail. --70.131.55.20 14:40, 14 April 2008 (EDT)
