The Ancestral Oath in its unattuned form looks like a humanoid's heart, organically sculpted from Ironwood. It began as a Baelnorn's phylactery who pledged his life to his enclave. He served for many years before finally accepting eternal rest. After his final death the phylactery was passed down through the family, often staying in the family vault.
While attuning to this magic item it burrows into the body of the person attuning it. Over the hour it replaces the creature's heart. The extremely painful process brings the creature to death, only for the magic item to bring them back, finishing the attunement. Removing this magic item or ceasing attunement kills the attuned creature.
