The Aeternexa refers to two distinct objects, the collar -- which is a simple cord with a raw amethyst attached which seals around the neck of the wearer once placed and the ring which grants the owner special abilities with respect to the one wearing the collar.
Collar
The collar itself is very simple, once sealed around the neck of a person they become the property of the owner of the ring. The bond between the master and slave goes beyond the jewelry itself. The collar grants the wearer an empathic connection to the master, they are aware of mood, location, and general state of mind. The slave may also mentally communicate with the master once the collar has been placed around their neck, though it takes some time for the connection to become deep enough for this.
Ring
The ring, once worn by the owner, similarly cannot be removed unless the owner wishes to remove it. Removing the ring does not break the connection between master and slave but does weaken it, depending on how long the pair have been bonded for. The master is able to communicate with the slave, command them, and summon them to appear at will whenever the master wishes. The master is also granted awareness of the slave's mood, state of mind / body, and otherwise is aware of the slaves position relative to the master.
The Bond
The bond between master and slave is intense, it grows deeper with time. It is designed to be voluntary and generational... A line of masters and a line of slaves serving each other. The magic pushes the slave into being subservient, submissive, and reliant on the approval of the master, this does not subvert the will of the slave exactly. Rather than subvert their will, it keys into the slave's emotional states and makes them feel strong, more confident, and safer when they have the approval of their master. For the master it also keys into their emotional states and makes them feel more important, competent, and trusted when they are properly caring for and have a happy slave. In this way the collar & ring bond the master and slave together in a mutual need to care for each other within the master / slave dynamic.
Death of the Master
When a master dies, they can pass their bond on to another person, usually a family member, by giving them the ring and willingly relinquishing the bond. Once this occurs the slave is immediately aware of it, whether the slave wishes the bond to be transferred or not they will quickly accept the new master once the bond is transferred. Without the bond being transferred, the collar will unseal and allow itself to be removed. The slave will also feel the death of the master intensely, even if the bond is transferred.
Death of the Slave
When the slave dies, they too can pass their bond on to another person, usually a son or daughter to continue the line. The bond transfers immediately and the master is instantly aware of the transfer. The new slave will immediately become the property of the master and both will be effected by the bond.
