Feather of Morganos
Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement by a path of the zealot barbarian)
In appearance, this item is simply a black raven feather. However, in reality, it is much more. Morganos is the goddess of death and sends her ravens to the world to carry the souls of the undead to the afterlife. The feather is from one of Morganos' ravens and it carries with it a connection to the dead and the afterlife.
The bearer of this feather can call forth a Spirit Raven. The raven has the same statistics as a normal raven and always obey’s the bearer’s commands, which they can give telepathically while it is within 100 feet. While the raven is perched on the bearer’s shoulder, they gain advantage to Wisdom (Perception) checks. Further, once per long rest, the raven can “drink” the eye of a dead creature (provided its eye is still intact) and the bearer can make a DC 12 WIS saving throw, on a successful save, the bearer can see the last few moments of the creature’s eyes just before they died, but take 1d6 psychic damage on a failed save. The raven vanishes when it dies, you die, or if the two of you are separated by more than 5 miles. At the end of a long rest, you can call the raven back to you--no matter where it is or whether it died--and it reappears within 5 feet of you.
History
Kaal had been growing more introspective about the death surrounding him on his adventures and had begun to notice ravens in the skies, almost following him, waiting to be able to feast on the carcasses left from the battles. While helping one of the local farmers protect his livestock from predators, Kaal slew a small pack of wolves. A raven flew down and landed on the corpse of one of the wolves and one of its feathers flew to Kaal. He picked it up and as the raven “drank” the eye of the dead wolf, Kaal saw the last moments of the wolf’s life through its eyes. Realizing it was a sign from Morganos, the Raven Queen, and her hold over death and the dead.
