Vadalia's Eye - Exalted
Wondrous Item – legendary – requires attunement by a non-evil creature
A large chip of uncut emerald set in an amulet of bone, resting on the body of a great elven liberator and scout, architect of the Greenway. Exposed to the energies of Thelanis, the Feywild for millennia, it has gained power and knowledge. Vadalia’s Eye is a sentient item, containing some of the memories of the long-dead Vadalia the Liberator. In its exalted state, it can offer occasional thoughts and limited memories if spoken to directly, communicating mostly through visions overlaid onto the world. Attunement: While attuned to the item, you gain +3 to their saving throws. Spellcasting: You may cast the spells zephyr strike, speak with dead, freedom of movement, mislead, and soul cage using the amulet in place of the material component. After doing so, each spell cannot be cast again in this way until you have completed a long rest. Living Past: While wearing the Eye, you may spend 1 minute in concentration, as if casting a spell, and staying within a fixed location. At the end of the minute, you see a vision of that location’s past – the most emotionally resonant moment which happened there, fading in clarity and duration the longer ago it happened. A location or creature which was protected from divination magic cannot be seen in this way. After using this property, it cannot be used again until the next dawn. For 1 hour after using this ability, the Eye can be used to cast major image, but only to project an illusion of the vision that was just seen. Boundless Freedom: While attuned to the Eye, you may spend a bonus action to either automatically escape from a grapple, or to render yourself unaffected by difficult terrain until the end of your turn. Exaltation and Endings: The Eye is at its most powerful and conscious, possessing a limited echo of Vadalia's mind. It will urge the wearer towards actions of freedom and rebellion, striking down oppressors and tyrants, and if its wishes are repeatedly ignored or defied it may eventually retreat, losing its Exaltation. A creature which was attuned to the Eye when it became Exalted gains the capability to destroy it. If you exalted the Eye, while your blood is coating the gemstone you may spend an action to shatter it against a hard surface. All creatures and objects within 40 ft. of the Eye must make a DC20 Wisdom saving throw, becoming stunned for 1 minute on a failure, or until they succeed on the saving throw repeated at the end of each of their turns. The surrounding area becomes permanently changed by images and memories of Vadalia's past, as per the mirage arcane spell, and Vadalia's Eye is destroyed as the last remnant of her mind is put to rest.
Release: Vadalia's Eye was destroyed by Dr. Elenora Chiselchip in Shae Cairdal, Aerenal. Its destruction released Vadalia to speak to the Aereni Deathless, proving the accusations against Elronethi, the Spider and ensuring Vadalia's legacy would live on, as her spirit was put to rest.
