The '''Tear of Selevia''' is a [[Imperial]] relic that was created during the conquest of the [[Selevia System]], a necklace forged around a large oval midnight blue [[Spirit Stone]], looted from the dead body of a powerful Aeldari [[Seer]].{{Fn|1}}
===History===
The Tear captured from the dead body of the commander of the [[aeldari]] forces during the battle for the Selevia System. The necklace was commissioned by the [[Imperial]] commander, [[Colonel]] [[Greeves]] and presented as a gift to the first [[Governor]] of the Selevia System, [[Sirlene Rask]].{{Fn|1}} Govenor Rask is said to have gone insane in the twenty years that followed, a period in which she wore the necklace daily before dying in a fire along with her family when her manse burned down. It was suggested by [[Inquisitor]] [[Alyssana Nero]] that her insanity was the result of the aeldari spirit who resided within: which came from a [[Psyker]] of great ability. The Tear of Selevia was placed on display by her successor until it was stolen – later recovered by Nero.{{Fn|1}}
Nero would later use the Tear of Selevia would be used as a bagaining chip with the Aeldari, gifting it in exchange for information on an artefact of unknown origin known as the [[Pillar of Dreams]] which the Aeldari urged her to destroy.{{Fn|1}}
