Hand of the Tyrant

The Hand of the Tyrant was a powerful and evil artifact that granted its wearer access to supernatural strength and powerful spells. It is currently located in the area of desolation known as Tyrant's Grasp on the Isle of Kortos, outside Absalom.

History

The Hand of the Tyrant, also known as the Hand of Tar-Baphon, was the only remnant of the powerful lich Tar-Baphon after he was destroyed by his own weapon of mass destruction, Radiant Fire. The explosion decimated and transformed the land for fifteen miles around the explosion. The hand remained at ground zero, clutching the earth while the rest of Tar-Baphon was destroyed.
