Description:
A small, delicate silver locket engraved with intricate patterns. When opened, it emits an inaudible melody perceived as a vibration within the chest rather than sound. Carriers of the locket report an uncontrollable urge to move or dance continuously, often lasting for hours or days.
Recovery Notes:
Recovered from the ruins of a Pale Country dance hall, the locket was found amidst shattered glass and faded dance inscriptions. It is believed to be linked to the cursed Glassfooted dancers.

The locket is thought to bind its wearer to the eternal dance ritual of the Pale Country, compelling restlessness and perpetual motion. It may have been used as a tool of control or punishment within court traditions.
Known Incidents:
Incident 10S: An operative carrying the locket experienced involuntary movement for several days, leading to physical exhaustion and psychological distress.
Incident 23V: The locket’s melody was traced to influencing nearby individuals to begin dancing uncontrollably.
