A pair of metal horns that have the appearance of bull's horns (1' long and 3" across at the open wide end which tapers to a rounded tip), and dull silver in color. The narrow ends are closed, so these are not meant to be blown into to create a sound. There are minute sigils worked into the metal around both the rims and the narrow ends of both horns.
Their name, which is gnomish in origin, translates into "talking horns" , and each pair is uniquely attuned to each other, so that if someone utters anything from a whisper to the shout into the wide end of one horn, the sound will instantly be reproduced from the wide end of the other. The banya parlants must be on the same plane of existence to communicate but, beyond that, there is no known range beyond which the horns will not operate.
