Dark Heart of the Night

Unique magic item

Dark pulsating artefact accessed through sacred Stone Groves

The Dark Heart of the Night is a physical naturally formed artefact that has reappeared. It is ancient and wild and nasty and revels in the battle of fang and claw and blood and violence. It is part in this world and part in ******* and will phase in and out of existence according to its own dark nature.

The Dark Heart has a dark intelligent cunning, it is a thing of brutality and by bonding with it the Crag possesses many of its powers.

It has appeared within a large double ring of standing stones “sacred stone grove” in a wild and hilly area of Treonol that was once surrounded by a large number of villages until they were destroyed by the Helegu.

The Dark Heart connects through ****** to *******, from which it draws its power.

Its appearance is that of a floating dark womb, where some dark, coiled serpentine thing rattles its scales and threatens death. It is entirely transparent and floats amid a glow of dark violet light that automatically reveals the unseen within 30”. Its other powers:

• ** charges - recharge *d* each sunset
• Allows the right of the beast at certain times (e.g. full moons at midnight when the wanderers are in the correct pattern - ** charges
• Create disease 3x (from sunset to sunset) - * charge
• Create major disease 1x recharge *** on d* (from sunset to sunset) - * charges
• Cast * 2nd level spell (minor benefit) recharge *** on d*
• Counterspell - * charge
• Meld with Minor Loa Warrior Spirit - * charges = +*AC (natural), +**hp, +* damage type by melee weapon, spell resistance - Lao Warrior Spirit melds with attuned
• Meld with Lesser Loa Warrior Spirit - * charges = +*AC (natural) +**hp, +* damage type by melee weapon, *** damage reduced by *; spell resistance, reaction add d* to AC
• Grant resistance to ****** (minor benefit)
• Weapon gains d* of damage type (major benefit)
• Animals within 30” are hostile (minor detriment)
• Appearance changes (minor detriment)
• Dilutes potions within 10” making them non-magical (major detriment)
