Jewellery and objects from the world around Ilionej
Further info concerning the person and her surrounding are to be found in the sections "The Books" and "Ilionej's World" on my novels' page.
Sisters' Amulet
This amulet represents the main characters of my trilogy.
Each of them rules over one of the "Heroan Elements":
Ilionej Yulanda Nephredinja: Time
Eleny Chelejua Aldanjome: Water
Ileja Loranja: Earth and Stone
Kiara-Marou: Fire
Kassjopaya: Wind and Air
Yelendi Anola: Light
Anjelewa: Shadow
The backside shows the first letters of their names in Salu; which is their mother tongue; and the whole first name of "The Ring", who is the one to hold all their power together. I won't spoil
here who this "Ring" is though. (Also his name changed since I made this amulet. My readers will kill me one day. >.< )
Material: 925 Sterling Silver, Strass-"Stones"
Size: 4cm diameter

Elements' Sign Signet Ring
Such rings, which show the sign of the 7 Heroan Elements, are used by the librarians of Naleyla-Us for closing top-secret-documents or letters (different coloured wax) and also for marking the
scripts owned by the library(for this they use a special invisible, undestroyable, uncopyable colour and a different place for every category. The rules and how to find the marks are only known
by the librarians. This knowledge is even guarded by powerful magic, so that nobodody will be able to "read it out" of their minds).
Material: cast 925 Sterlingsilver

Guid-Jewellery
The following pieces hold parts of the seven Heroan Elements' power. They are worn by the Guids(this is no typo; the accent is on the u) of the seven Towers in Naleyla-Us, the Holy City.
The Guids are something like the male "equals" to the "Guidesses"(this is English though ;) ), who are The Sisters.
They are as powerless outside the City and the Elemental Sanctuaries(a part of what is mostly known as "Heaven"), as The Sisters are inside these areas. The Sisters only wear amuletts which just
represent their part in the universe, but they have been abused by the former Sisters to guarantee their own rebirth.
It is unknown whether the Guids are immortal or any kind of living beings at all. Not even Abiùl, the grandfather of Ilionej and her sisters could look through their cloaks. But he believes that; if the Guids really are the Sisters' counterparts, they must be undead
creatures or have something to do with necromancy.
I won't tell more about this theory here, as the Guids and Abiùl's past are a subject to the second book of the series. Also not all seven pieces are done yet since I'm still looking for fitting
glass pieces.
