Baron Morris Despana was one of the founders of Innishine, a small valley village built high in the north, buying large swathes of land to build his family vineyards. He himself was plagued by visions of dark and distant futures, and though he seemed normal in public, he was often found scrawling strange sigils on the walls of his study. Eventually, the dark images plaguing his mind drove him to throw himself off of Destiny's Edge, an incredibly high cliff a few miles from Innishine with a historic connection to time magic. At the moment of his death, the family crest coin he kept on his person, because of the magically charged location and the dark forces plaguing the Baron's mind, became imbued with magical power. The body of ol' Despana was revived, his soul however, contained in the coin, did not return. The husk of Baron Despana became flooded with the dark powers that once plagued him, and he walked off, deep into the woods, not to be seen again.
The coin's magic only activates after someone else in your party dies. Over the next following days, the coin will become warm and the small green gems embedded into it will give off a dull glow.
The coin is a second chance, a reversing of the damage done to your body. The next time the person who is in possession of the coin would die, if their soul is not destroyed, they are revived to full health under the effects of a long rest. If their soul is gone however, they become an undead of the DM's choice with a minimum CR of 16 who instantly becomes hostile to the rest of the party.
