The Feather of Ma'at

This ostrich feather is all that remains of Ma'at, netjer of Judgment and Death, long since destroyed by the Purification Crusade. Heaven and Hell have both made concerted efforts to destroy it, but its very nature makes that nearly impossible.
The Feather allows a mortal to lock himself into the path of Heaven or Hell upon his death. By burning the Feather in a simple ceremony, the mortal guarantees that his soul will not disband or reincarnate upon his expiration. If he has fulfilled both his destiny and his fate, or neither, the Symphony will judge his life and send him to his reward (good or bad) regardless. Obviously, Soldiers will head to their appropriate side as usual, and undead will derive no benefit from the Feather.
After the Feather has been destroyed, it will reappear at some point in the future on the corporeal plane, drifting off the plumage of a common ostrich, onto the ground. Searchers for the Feather are advised to first check in their local zoo dumpsters.
