This amulet is carved from living heartwood taken from the First Bough at the moment it shed a naturally fallen branch. Its grain forms a pattern resembling a leaf caught in a gentle breeze. Wood‑elf families pass these amulets down through generations, believing they carry the quiet vigilance of their ancestors.
Life‑Ward Charges:
The amulet holds 3 charges, and it regains all expended charges at dawn as soft green light pulses through the carved grain. When you make a Death Saving Throw, one charge is expended granting a +5 bonus to that roll. When the last charge is used, the amulet’s wood darkens and becomes still, as though holding its breath until the next dawn.
Ancestral Echo:
The amulet warms slightly when a family member is within 30 feet.
The Heartwood Relics of the Elu’Thalan Line:
Among the deep forest clans of the Elu’Thalan, there stands an ancient tree known as the First Bough, believed to have sprouted when the clan’s founders first pledged themselves to the protection of their grove. When the tree sheds a naturally fallen branch—a rare event marked by quiet ceremony—its heartwood is gathered and shaped into relics meant to safeguard future generations. Two such relics are most revered: the Amulet of the Last Breath and the Ring of Steady Pulse. Though crafted in different eras, each was carved from the same fallen branch of the First Bough, linking them through both material and memory.
