Obsidian Collars

In the Red Rising Saga, Obsidian Collars emerge in Iron Gold as a stark symbol of subjugation, thin gray metal bands clamped around the necks of Obsidian slaves to denote their degraded status within the stratified Society. These collars represent the brutal commodification of the once-fierce ice warriors from the frozen outer rim, stripping them of autonomy and marking a new era of oppression amid the escalating Solar War. Though their role remains confined to this pivotal fourth book, the collars underscore the evolving themes of enslavement and resistance that permeate the series.
