Neverwinter Eye

The Neverwinter Eye, also known as the Eye & Tears, was a symbol popularized in the city of Neverwinter in the late 14 century DR, and still retained its presence in the late 15 century DR.
==Description==
The Neverwinter Eye was a blue image of an eye with a thin-slit pupil, topped with two sets of horns, two horns on the bottom, and three tears dripping underneath. It was believed in Neverwinter that the weeping eye offered protection.
==History==
The origins of the Neverwinter Eye dated back to the tumultuous year of the , when the Wailing Death plague ravaged the Jewel of the North, immediately followed by the betrayal of the city by its paragon, Aribeth de Tylmarande and a short war with Luskan that shook the city's economy. After the plague and the war ended. The city began to rebuild, and the blue image of a weeping eye, the Eye & Tears started popping up in the city, with the locals believing it to be a symbol of protection. As such, it became a new popular design to be tattooed, especially by sailors and salty dogs of Neverwtiner. One tattooist parlor of note that offered Neverwinter Eye tattoos was Rusty Al's Tattoo & Pawn located in the Docks District, one of the places damaged by the plague.
By the , the Neverwinter Eye in white on a blue background was adopted by the Neverwinter Nine as part of their uniform. Members of the Nine wore a blue tunic adorned with the sign over their ceremonial armor. The Eye was worn by Sir Nevalle, a trusted aide of Lord Nasher Alagondar, and Darmon, who led the city guard in the late 14 century DR. The weeping eye-decorated uniform was still in use during and several years after the war with the King of Shadows that further damaged Neverwintran economy.
The Neverwinter Eye was immortalized as a part of the monument dedicated to Nasher Alagondar that was erected in front of the Neverwinter arena, adorning his belt. The Neverwinter arena was reopened in the late 1490s DR.
