Item Lore: A purple tarnished gem the size of a mans fist. It glows very slighting in the center. Was once the heart of a vampire by the name of Archinal, who for centuries tried to find a way to bring back his beloved wife Sarah (A Succubus). Over come with the sadness, Archinal made a deal with a powerful demon. In exchange for a favor the demon will bring Sarah back. Archinal completed the task, but the demon laughed and explained that Sarah was lost and can not be brought back to life. Archinal full of sadness tried to slay the demon who lied to him, but the demon turned Archinal into a purple tarnished fist size gem. Where Archinal resides, sad and alone.
If one so likes, With a wish spell or a very powerful remove curse spell, one can release Archinal. This could lead to a quest to defeat a powerful Demon.
Notes: This item was created in a 2 year long campaign. Archinal Hedgewood (Last name changed to Xander during the store), Is a artifact created in teh attempts to bring this players wife back from the dead. The wife, Sarah, was a succubus who turned Archinal into a vampire when the kiss of death failed to take hold. Sarah was a npc hired by a duke as a last resort to kill Archinal (where other attempts failed), after the duke was humiliated. During the week of infiltration, Sarah fell in love with Archinal. Which might have lead to the advantage on the save roll. Well during the campaign Sarah was killed by the dukes forces and Archinal and the party went on to over throw the kingdom. While doing that Archinal was trying to bring Sarah back. Well in a one off that took place 200 years after the end of the 2 year long campaign, the group decided to let Archinal have his end. So this item is what came out of it. And we recently obtain this item in our current game, and I figured this item is worth sharing. Clearly can be adjusted, but I hope the idea of the item inspires some create stuff for your games., creature, Cursed, Jewelry, Sentient
