Lore

When Emperor of the Eternal Empire, Tarcus Veruso's wife, Chiara, died during childbirth, he turned to the Ankh of Eternity to try to bring her back.[a] Paired with a specific "Azmerian ritual", the Ankh was said to have been a source of "true resurrection".[b] The origin of the ankh is unknown, but some "inscriptions" suggest that the Ankh was a gift to Veruso from the Vaal.[c]

Clarissa's dialogue suggests that the ritual resulted in Chiara becoming a monster, similar to what happened later to Tolman, but the Eternal records of the event were rewritten to describe a success in an effort to "cover up the truth [of the failure]".[d] Afterwards, Veruso himself took the ankh and hid it "to the east", tucked away in a "shrine in the Quay", where the player later finds it.

Notes

  1. Clarissa, "Emperor Veruso"
  2. Clarissa, "The Ankh of Eternity"
  3. Clarissa, "The Ankh of Eternity"
  4. Clarissa, on Tolman's second death

Trivia

The item is the same as real world ancient Egyptian's Ankh, a symbol representing life.
