The faintest light sparkles off this silver. Hanging from a chain of braided silver and titanium, a deep blue sapphire stares back at you. Fixed along the edges of the jewel are seven crystal stars.
This amulet is an artifact of great power crafted by Selûne, goddess of the moon. According to ancient texts protected by the church, the person presented with this artifact is the incarnate blessing of Selûne to the mortal world, a Protector to the lost and disheartened.
Possessing this artifact means dedicating yourself to a life of service, adventure, and pursuit of divine enlightenment. This amulet aids the Protector in all these pursuits. Throughout their adventures, whenever the amulet believes it’s time to lead the Protector further down their path to enlightenment, it will present a vision and grant new abilities.

As an action while holding or wearing this amulet, you can cause a Lunar Halo to appear above your head. This halo illuminates the surrounding area with bright light out to 5 feet and dim light for an additional 5 feet beyond that. The light persists until you use an action to dismiss it or the halo is otherwise deactivated. If you are reduced to 0 hit points by damage while the halo is active, you instead fall to 1 hit point, and the halo deactivates. Furthermore, if you are subjected to an effect that would instantaneously kill you without inflicting damage, the effect is negated, and the halo deactivates.
Additionally, you may also use your reaction to target one creature you can see within 30 feet of you, applying the halo's protective effects to them if they would be reduced to 0 hit points or subjected to an instant death effect.
The Lunar Halo reappears every dusk.
