Trivia[]

  • The artifact is named after a phenomenon where multiple rats' tails become entangled, making them inseparable. Medieval European folklore suggests that the phenomenon was caused by a literal 'rat king' who demanded to sit atop the rats as a throne. While the origins of the phenomenon remain uncertain, real-life instances of rat kings have been documented throughout history. It is likely that this artifact is based upon the phenomenon, given its appearance as a mass of wires entangled together.
