DESCRIPTION

The pendant, known as the Aegis of Bannockburn, is an exquisite piece of ancient elven craftsmanship. Suspended from a delicate chain of mithril is a circular medallion, about two inches in diameter. The medallion is made of intertwined vines of silver and gold, which form an intricate knotwork pattern reminiscent of the ancient trees of elven forests. Encrusted at the heart of the medallion is an ethereal gem that glows with a soft, verdant light. This gem, often mistaken for an emerald, is in fact a piece of ancient amber that contains a luminescent essence, akin to captured moonlight. Along the edges of the pendant, delicate Elvish script is engraved, whispering tales of the elder forests and the guardians who protected them. It is light to the touch and emanates a soothing aura, like the gentle rustle of leaves under a starlit sky.

Aura Necromancy & Transmutation; CL 13th; Slot Neck; Weight 1 lbs.; Price Artifact (unique);

DESCRIPTION

This sinister necklace is made from dark, twisted metal, adorned with sharp, jagged barbs on its inner edge. When placed around the neck, it magically tightens, and the barbs painfully sink into the wearer's flesh, bonding with their very essence. The necklace grants the wearer an incredible surge of physical power, increasing their Strength by +5, but this comes at a great cost, sapping their vitality and decreasing their Constitution by -5. Once worn, the necklace cannot be removed by normal means due to the barbs embedding into the wearer's body, and attempting to forcibly remove it can cause severe injury.

• • +5 Strength Bonus: Immediately upon wearing, the user's Strength score increases by +5, granting them greater melee attack power, damage, and carrying capacity.

  • -5 Constitution Penalty: Simultaneously, the user suffers a -5 penalty to their Constitution score, making them more susceptible to damage, disease, and fatigue.

  • Irremovable: Once the necklace is donned, the barbs embed themselves into the wearer's skin, making the item impossible to remove without magical aid. A break enchantment spell or similar magic is required to safely detach and remove the necklace without causing harm to the wearer.

• • The Necklace of Demonic Might is incredibly resilient and can only be destroyed by casting bless on it and then submerging it in holy water for a continuous period of seven days.

DESCRIPTION

Forged from blackened adamantine, this large flanged mace is etched with sinister runes along its handle.

Additionally, any wielder other than Arkan Vaelthorne must succeed on a DC 20 Will save daily to avoid being possessed by a fragment of Arkan Vaelthorne’s malevolent soul. Failure results in the wielder's actions and thoughts being influenced by the Death Knight's lingering will, which can lead to disastrous consequences.

HISTORY

Vaelthorne was forged in the darkest depths of the Dread Forge, a place infamous across the lands for its creation of weapons meant for destruction and chaos. This particular mace was commissioned by Arkan Vaelthorne, a notorious Death Knight of the Veil, who sought a weapon that matched his ruthless ambitions and cruel nature. The mace was imbued with unholy energies and a fragment of Arkan's own soul during a forbidden ritual, binding his essence to the weapon eternally. 

DESTRUCTION

Destroying  the Vaelthorne Mace is no simple task, as it requires breaking the bond between the mace and the Death Knight's soul. The only way to truly destroy Vaelthorne is to bring it back to the Dread Forge and melt it down in the same unholy fires from which it was born.
