Crescent Moon Necklace
The Crescent Moon Necklace is a pivotal item within Johnisdead. While the true purpose of the necklace is unknown, it has been heavily sought over in the past, hinting towards its importance.
History
Tyler was first seen wearing the Crescent Moon Necklace in the video Fun night with john and kevin on May 21st, 2015. Several days later, he revealed that the necklace was given to him by Carla as a birthday present.[1] When the necklace went missing in 2011, Tyler accused Kevin of stealing it, since he always took a strange interest in it.[2] Text found in the video fishery regarding someone possessing Tyler's necklace at the Fishery seemingly confirms this theory.[3]
On September 16th, 2015, the necklace makes an appearance in Rosa's video fortune.webm, where it is seemingly used to correlate with "crest" in the quote "The man with the crest" in relation to Tyler. Shortly after this, a message from Kevin appears in-which he confirms he possesses the Crescent Moon Necklace.[4] On November 5th, 2015, players discovered a thread on the Lunar Children Forums revealing that a Lunar Child named Hina616 accidentally stole the Crescent Moon Necklace from the location where the Blood Moon Ritual took place. Shortly afterwards, she was forced to return it. Due to the timestamps on the Lunar Children Forums being corrupted, it's unknown when exactly in 2015 this took place.[5]
On Undecim Nocte 2015, Tyler was rescued from the Lunar Children by the players, warping him back to his home. At some point, he regained possession of his necklace - as seen in the video I am doing just fine.[6] One day later, the players summoned Helper and had him deliver a camera to Tyler and take the Crescent Moon Necklace away from him. Helper agreed to do so and left. On November 30th, 2015, Thoth ranted about the failure of Undecim Nocte 2015. Here, he implied that Tyler regaining his necklace was a mistake and that Hunter specifically should be asked about it.[7] The necklace made a brief appearance in the video 5646 along with a shot of a cloaked figure.
In 2020, several old Lunar Children IRC chats from years prior were discovered via JanusVR. One of these included Eddie blaming Hina616 for the failure of Undecim Nocte 2015, believing that her interference with the necklace somehow caused it.[8] Another IRC chat amongst the Elder Children reveals that, at some point, Helper was killed and the Crescent Moon Necklace was retrieved from his body. After the necklace was returned to the Lunar Children, Jennifer hid it somewhere.[9]

- Hina616: "I went to the place I was told about that the blood moon ritual was performed in. I was hoping maybe I could use some of the power there, left over from the ceremony to make contact with someone from beyond this parallelos and gain knowlege. I think I failed -_-;'But I did find this cool necklace, I was wondering if it belonged to anyone who was here for the ritual?"
- Jarilo333: "That necklace actually looks pretty familiar, if I recall we had a member who was given the name lunaris draco after attaining certain rank. However I also recall her turning her back on us and running away. Not much else to say really, other than the thing being identical from my memory."
