Carved from the skull of a forgotten martyr, this lantern glows with an eerie, ever-burning foglight. When lit, it emits a flickering radiance tinged with sorrow and holy dread.
Benefits:
-
Lantern of Revealing: While lit, this lantern functions identically to a Lantern of Revealing. Invisible creatures and objects are visible within 30 feet of the lantern's light.
-
Foglight Sanctuary (1/day): You may cast the Sanctuary spell (save DC 15) once per long rest. When cast through the lantern, the protected creature appears bathed in a sorrowful, pale flame.
☠️ Curse: Martyr’s Rejection
Once attuned, the lantern binds your soul, forbidding it rest:
-
Death Denied: When you die, your soul cannot pass on. Instead, 1d4 rounds later, you rise as a Mistborn Thrall under the DM’s control. You remain in this state until freed by greater restoration, wish, or similar means.
-
Aura of Wrongness: Animals and divine casters feel instinctive dread in your presence. You suffer disadvantage on Animal Handling and Religion checks.
-
Curse Removal: The curse cannot be removed by simply unattuning. Only a Remove Curse spell cast at 6th level or higher, combined with a ritual at a sacred site of Veilmoor’s old gods, can truly sever the bond.
🌫️ Appearance When Lit:
The foglight flickers softly within the skull’s hollow sockets, and mist seeps from the eyeholes. Faint whispers of old prayers echo when no one is speaking.
Notes: (requires attunement by a spellcaster or someone with a Fracture Point)
