"Those different things are known as amulets rampant, and they are supposed to protect their wearers. They all involve the depiction of a unicorn rampant, thus the name: rampant rampants are brightly enameled in colors meant to attract attention. Secret rampants, though, are white, in order to do their work without being noticed." [1]
"One might give a rampant rampant, boldly colored and ornamental, as a lover's gift... but a secret rampant, meant to pass unnoticed, was a prayer for safety, not a proclamation of public affection." [2]
Notable Amulets Rampant
This is where I mention who has which one, and where they've gone since they were made, so I won't forget that Tsonet made off with one and that Sediryl's got one.
- Lisinthir is given a secret rampant, sent to him by Jahir while the former was in the Chatcaavan Empire [3]
- Jahir is given a secret rampant by Lisinthir during their tryst on Starbase Alpha; a carved ivory of a drake entwined with a unicorn, the latter rearing with bent head to strike and the former coiled, facing outward with gaping jaws. This amulet had the roquelaure chip hidden in the back, and was threaded on a nearly invisible filament. [4]
