The Amulet of Kings is a powerful artifact in the world of the Elder Scrolls. It is said to be the key to the divine power of the ruling dynasty of Tamriel. The amulet holds immense magical capabilities and is closely tied to the Dragonfires, which serve as a barrier between the mortal realm and the forces of Oblivion. In the lore of the Elder Scrolls, the Amulet of Kings plays a significant role. It is traditionally worn by the emperor or empress of Tamriel and signifies their divine right to rule. The amulet is said to contain the blood of the Dragonborn, a mythical figure with the ability to wield the power of the dragons.
I just undid three edits by Temple-Zero for reasons adequately explained in the previous great debate. Replacing a sourced statement with personal opinion is not acceptable and nobody even argued so during that previous discussion. An edit summary including "I'd rather have teeth pulled than quote Trials of St. Alessia" makes it clear that this is personal opinion. If you have a source for your information, please quote it. Otherwise, leave the existing text in place. –Rpeh •T•C•E• 14:32, 30 December 2008 (EST)
Secondly, it is possible that Akatosh is the one who imbued the gem with his divine powers but it was Shezzar who bound Alessia s soul into the gem making her the first soul to become the gem metaphorically, since the gem was empty before receiving her soul. Lore in past has told us that the Amulet of Kings came from Akatosh and was given to Alesia as a blessing of dragon blood for queen Alesia s blood line.
The amulet is said to contain the blood of the Dragonborn, a mythical figure with the ability to wield the power of the dragons. However, there is an intriguing concept known as the mirror image of the Amulet of Kings. This concept suggests that for every powerful artifact, there exists a mirror image or counterpart of equal strength.
What happens if a Non-Dragonborn wears the Amulet of Kings?
When I heard of the Amulet of Kings in Oblivion, I wanted to learn more about it. I found out only the one with the dragon blood, also known as the Dragonborn, can wear it as Baurus said just after Emperor Uriel Septim VII was killed by the Mythic Dawn. I wondered if I could equip the amulet. I did, and it says it slips off your neck. But if I, or any other non-Dragonborn, were able to wear it, what else will happen? Would it give you a curse? Would you have power, or not? I want to know what happens if someone who has no dragon blood were to wear the Amulet of Kings.

Nov 25, 2015 at 21:53In the case of the Amulet of Kings, this mirror image is said to be the Amulet of Queens. The Amulet of Queens is not as well-known as its counterpart, but it is believed to possess similar mystical properties. Like the Amulet of Kings, it is said to be tied to the Dragonfires and holds the power of the Dragonborn. However, instead of representing the divine right of rulership, the Amulet of Queens is associated with the strength and wisdom of female leaders. The mirror image concept adds an extra layer of depth to the lore of the Elder Scrolls. It suggests that for every powerful artifact or concept, there exists a counterpart that represents the opposite or complementary idea. In the case of the Amulet of Kings and the Amulet of Queens, it highlights the duality of power and the importance of both male and female leadership in the world of Tamriel. Ultimately, the mirror image of the Amulet of Kings gives us a fresh perspective on the concept of power and authority in the Elder Scrolls universe. It emphasizes the idea of balance and the importance of embracing both masculine and feminine qualities. Whether or not the Amulet of Queens will be explored further in future games or expansions remains to be seen, but its existence adds an intriguing dynamic to an already rich and intricate lore..
