Ardruin can speak, read, and understand all languages that it’s wielder speaks, Ardruin can communicate telepathically with any character that carries or wields it.

Ardruin has hearing and darkvision to 120ft.

This item is neutral evil.

Ardruin seeks renown as the greatest magic item in the world, by establishing its user as a famous or notorious figure.

 

A sentient item has a will of its own, shaped by its personality and alignment. If its wielder acts in a manner opposed to the item’s alignment or purpose, conflict can arise. When such a conflict occurs, the item makes a Charisma check contested by the wielder’s Charisma check. If the item wins the contest, it makes one or more of the following demands:

• The item insists on being carried or worn at all times.
• The item demands that its wielder dispose of anything the item finds repugnant.
• The item demands that its wielder pursue the item’s goals to the exclusion of all other goals.
• The item demands to be given to someone else. If its wielder refuses to comply with the item’s wishes, the item can do any or all the following:
• Make it impossible for its wielder to attune to it.
• Suppress one or more of its activated properties.
• Attempt to take control of its wielder.

If a sentient item attempts to take control of its wielder, the wielder must make a Charisma Saving Throw, with a DC equal to 12 + the item’s Charisma modifier. On a failed save, the wielder is Charmed by the item for 1d12 hours. While Charmed, the wielder must try to follow the item’s commands. If the wielder takes damage, it can repeat the Saving Throw, ending the effect on a success. Whether the attempt to control its user succeeds or fails, the item can’t use this power again until the next dawn.
