History
The Amulet of Anubis
It was said that the relic had originally been forged by the Lords of Order at the dawn of time. It was wrested from them by a Lord of Chaos until it was reclaimed by Nabu. (The Flash v1 #306)
Doctor Fate actively countered a massive global threat engineered by the sorcerer Wotan, who attempted to bypass the mortal world's natural spiritual defenses. To protect his human identity as Kent Nelson and amplify his own formidable sorcery, Doctor Fate leveraged his complete mystical uniform, deploying his iconic circular talisman alongside his golden helmet and cape. This highly protective gear acted as a direct conduit for the energy of Nabu, providing Fate with absolute telepathic resistance and an intense booster to his defensive capabilities. During the intense, multi-dimensional clash, Doctor Fate utilized the artifact's unique properties to counter opposing spells, project precise mystical energy blasts, and completely neutralize Wotan's aggressive assaults. By firmly maintaining his grip on his magical gear, the sorcerer successfully contained the dark energy, bound Wotan's malevolent forces, and secured a decisive victory to preserve the delicate balance between the cosmic forces of Order and Chaos. (More Fun Comics v1 #55) The circular magical relic adorned the livery collar worn around the shoulders of the champion, serving as a primary structural asset during a high-stakes investigation into the Underworld. When the user traveled past the heavily guarded Seven Gates into the desolate region of dead souls to verify the status of Wotan, the amulet functioned as an essential defensive anchor alongside the golden helmet and cape. The artifact's internal magical properties provided the wearer with absolute telepathic resistance against spiritual intrusions and heavily amplified personal sorcery while navigating the realm of the deceased. During a tense confrontation with the underworld ferryman Charon on the River Styx, the object's presence reinforced the user's authority, allowing them to cross the barrier unharmed and return to the earthly plane. Upon locating Wotan's hidden mountain laboratory, the amulet protected the host from the immediate environmental feedback of a massive magnetic device designed to tear the planet apart, safely maintaining its position on the practitioner's chest throughout the entire perimeter breach. (More Fun Comics v1 #56)
During the fight against Extant, the time-manipulating supervillain attempted to erase several members of the Justice Society. Before he could do so, Hector Hall used the magic of Doctor Fate to create the illusion of them being erased whilst he transported himself along with his comrades into the Amulet of Anubis. Once there, they went into hiding where they were greeted by Kent and Inza who continued to live in their custom-made heaven. (JSA v1 #14)
Overview
The universe within the amulet was wholly separate from the main universe or any other. Thus, those that resided in it could be hidden from the cosmos outside the amulet. (JSA v1 #14)
