The Angle of Eternity Aughra's device representing the Great Conjunction. The simplicity of the conjunction symbol gives no clue to the complexity of its manufacture. The enamel inlays display the critical constellation of the conjunction.

The Eye of Aughra Aughra's eye is itself an image of the three suns (Great, Rose and Dying) that destroyed its fellow. Modesty, or caution, prevents Aughra from making this comparison herself.
