Horn of Helios
itemSilver horn ~50cm long, inlaid with gold depictions of gods, goddesses, racing chariots with wild steeds pulling the sun; Hippodrome race starter relic.
The Horn of Helios enters the Red Rising Saga in Dark Age as a striking relic of the old Society's grandeur, a roughly 50cm silver horn lavishly inlaid with gold scenes of gods, goddesses, and chariots drawn by wild steeds hauling the sun itself. Functioning as the ceremonial starter for Hippodrome races, it embodies the faded glory of Luna's racing traditions amid the chaos of civil war. Its appearance signals deeper ties to ancient customs that characters leverage during pivotal confrontations, hinting at untapped symbolic power in the broader rebellion. As the saga's conflicts intensify, the horn evolves from mere artifact to a potential rallying emblem of lost heritage.
