Sabine's Locket

The Nicest Thing Sabine Can't Have

Sabine's locket is an item of immeasurable power and unique properties. It is infused with the power of creation, and she used it as a conduit of power when she created the godlings and the world. It takes a millennium for this item to recharge, and at the time of The Shattering the locket was at full power and capabilities. At first glance the locket looks like a smaller version of a pocket watch, with a silver filigree overlay and a small window through which one can see moving parts and gears. There is no face to read as one would read a watch though, so if the locket conveys any kind of information it is only known to Sabine. A heavy silver adjustable chain loops through the top of the locket, allowing the individual with custody to wear it either as a necklace, a bracelet, or a belt. Excess chain beyond the clasp point magically recoils so there is no long, annoying chain piece trailing from the back.

The locket survived the first impact during the events of The Shattering, but the second impact - the one that shattered the world - also broke the locket into several pieces. This locket was of the finest craftsmanship and quality you could ever find, but the second time slamming to the ground from the heavens was enough to fracture even that.
After spending time yelling at her children, Sabine went and gathered all the pieces, and hid them. Some she hid with citizens across the globe, and others she tasked fierce monsters to protect. Only she knows where all the pieces are and how to reassemble them. As a final step, she put a duplicate of the locket in her chambers, but this duplicate was a little different... anyone touching this fake locket will immediately be affected with the following:

Shame Cap by Bing AI

• A dunce cap will appear on the individual’s head. This dunce cap is bright purple and has a neon orange puffball at the tip. While the wearer of this cap is awake it will emit a bright orange glow from the puffball. This hat cannot be removed until the spell ends. Duration: 6 months.


• A clapboard appears across the chest of the individual, inscribed with the following message: "I am a DUMBASS who didn't learn my lesson. I can't keep my hands to myself, so now I have no hands." This decoration will mold to the body during sleep but cannot be removed until the spell ends. Duration: 6 months.

• The individual's fingers fuse together, forcing them to use their hands like shovels. Obviously, this makes eating, writing, and wiping one's hindquarters a challenge. Furthermore, the fused fingers now emit a moderately strong and unpleasant fecal odor that seems to surround the individual in a dense cloud unless they place their hands under their legs while sitting down. Duration: 6 months.

This is a unique item of great cultural significance to all people, creatures, beings, and entities that live on X'anthia as it is the mechanism that brought the world into existence. The location of the pieces has always been a source of gossip and speculation with the favorite hiding spots rumored to be at the bottom of Thame'l's Fury or in the center of the volcano dominating Queberona.
