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