Wondrous Item, very rare (requires attunement)

The Clock at the heart of a Ticking Tree is a strange and oft sought artifact. Ticking Trees have been endangered since the end of the Anachronism Wars, and those specimens that survive are now found mostly in dreams. It resembles a great knotted whorl of wood, inset with a large, elegant wall clock made of glass, quartz, and silver.

The Clock grants amazing power, but at a high cost. A mortal being attuned to this artifact may take a Short Rest in only ten minutes. This power may be activated once a day, but ages its user by 1d10 years. Additionally, the Clock cannot be used by Elves and other ultra-long lived species. Dwarves may use the Clock, but require a half-hour to Short Rest rather than ten minutes.

In addition to the high cost of its ability, the Clock ticks. Loudly. Anyone carrying it has Disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks.

The Clock keeps perfect time and does not drift, even at sea. It starves if it is not exposed to sunlight at least once a day.
