It is not a source of power —it is proof of remembering where you belong.
A reminder of home, love, and the choice to remain oneself.
This was never a transfer of power, but the handing-over of a home.
For Saya, the pendant witnessed her leaving the old order, refusing to harm the weak, and choosing her life anew. For Viss, it means he is still loved, still has a home — and can still decide who to become when fate tips out of balance.
After Viss awakens the dangerous, unstable Chaos Mark, the pendant becomes his emotional anchor. It cannot suppress the Mark, nor does it grant power; it only helps him remember who he is.

Two Choices
Saya & Viss
Saya
Saya · Astromancer
Once an elite astromancer of a powerful clan. Called the family’s hope after awakening her Bloodline Mark — until she refused to harm other clans’ children and was branded a traitor.
Viss
Viss · Chaos Mark
From the border village of Luoxing in the Star-Scar Lands. His parents vanished in the ruins when he was seven; Saya took him in. He is no chosen hero — what he later awakens is the unstable Chaos Mark.
Not bound by blood — they chose to become each other’s family.

The whole form
Metal lines embrace the main stone from top to bottom; two eight-pointed stars close each end, with a clear teardrop below.
01
Eight-pointed star & bail
A small cool-blue stone sits at the heart of the upper star, joining the bail above to the cage below.
02
Main stone & embracing wires
A faceted marquise in cool blue, held by layered metal lines and one diagonal wire that wraps it like an arm.
03
Lower star & teardrop
A second star gathers the wires, and a clear teardrop hangs beneath it.
ARCHIVE № 06
Wearing
Wear & chain
A memory worn close to the heart.
Worn on a long chain so the pendant rests at the chest; the bail joins the chain, and the teardrop sways as you move.
It began as a quick sketch hanging from a cord. After several redraws and rounds of structural tests, it became the wire-wrapped form you see now.

Collector’s Box
Destiny Collector’s Box
Less a gift box, more a sealed star archive.
A midnight-blue lid, silver star-chart linework, an archive-style border and one line: ARCHIVE I · THE STAR-SCAR LANDS. Before you open it, it looks more like a sealed file than a jewellery box.
The Starbound Pendant is a story collectible. It is not a weapon, talisman or healing tool, and makes no claim to any real magical or spiritual effect.
