Amulet of Diren-Wu

The Amulet of Diren-Wu is an ancient relic from the days before The Shatter. Its strange and unique construction is attributed to its original creator's blessings from Azrovil, Disaki, and Pundras.

Description

The Amulet of Diren-Wu takes on the appearance of several strange symbols of differing gods. But is primarily a bone tablet that has two gems encrusted into it. There is also engraved a symbol of an eye that drips blood. This blood is not engraved and seems to be an eternal drop of blood, if touched, blood flows from the eye in a stream until the drop settles undisturbed.

History

Created in the historical captial of Utranival, the Amulet was originally forged by the artificer Diren-Wü as a symbol of their deity Pundras. Diren-Wu was however, charged with power of both Azrovil and Disaki, who had a pact with Pundras to form a triumverate of power over the course of The Shatter. Their influence of Diren-Wu enforced a powerful force unto the world that helped to start swaying the tide of the war.
By the time The Shatter, ended the Amulet had passed hands to an unknown user, and since then it has become lost. While its current whereabouts are unknown several people wish to keep the legend alive and claim to have seen the amulet throughout the realm.
