Wonderous Item, Artifact (requires attunement)



The handle of this sword hilt is more rectangular than cylindrical, though it still has rounded corners. There are six rectangular indentations in the handle. Six gems, imbued with the essences of powerful creatures, exist to fill these indentations. Who crafted the hilt, when it was crafted, or how they acquired the power for each gem is unknown. Attuning to the hilt creates an odd sense of longing in the bearer. Their dreams become filled with visions of the gem locations. As the bearer moves closer to the location of a gem the visions become clearer and more specific for that location. Closing to within ten miles causes the visions to start occurring while the bearer is awake.

If the Hilt remains un-attuned for seven days the gems vanish. Each gem reappears in a location deemed appropriate by the essence within. These locations must be on the material plane. If a gem is moved (without being united with the hilt) and remains in a location it deems unacceptable for 24 hours it vanishes and selects an appropriate location to reappear. It may or may not choose the same location it was taken from. While not attached to the hilt the gems have no abilities beyond this location selection. Without possessing the hilt a DC 25 Arcana check is required to be aware that the gems are magical; without the hilt the exact nature of the magic is indiscernible. They otherwise appear to be mundane, though extremely high quality, gems.
