The Vachari Soulstone is an ornate ruby amulet that has become highly sought after within the Vache Kingdom and is now known to appear throughout the world. This piece of jewelry is particularly significant to the aristocracy of the Vache Kingdom, who do not place their faith in any divine entities and use the Soulstone in the ritual of soul preservation. Across the globe, this amulet has become a prized possession among adventurers and shady figures alike.
Due to its rare and powerful properties, the Vachari Soulstone is typically valued between 8,000 to 10,000 gold pieces.
In the Vache Kingdom, the ritual of soul preservation is a common practice among the aristocracy, who wish to protect their souls from divine intervention. The Vachari Soulstone, crafted by skilled artisans and enchanters, traps the soul of its wearer upon death, providing a means of avoiding divine claim over the soul. However, this practice has its risks, as the soul trapped within the stone can be exploited by whoever possesses the stone. For some the Soulstone is coveted for its potential in soul manipulation, making it a valuable item for those with dark or ambitious intentions.
Attunement:
To attune to the Vachari Soulstone, the wearer must spend a short rest in quiet contemplation with the amulet.
Special Features:
- Soul Preservation: When the attuned wearer dies, their soul is immediately trapped within the Vachari Soulstone. While the soul is inside the stone, it cannot be claimed by any divine entity and is protected from resurrection spells that require the soul to be free.
- Soul Transfer: The soul inside the stone can be transferred into another body or object through a specific ritual known to the aristocracy of the Vache Kingdom. This ritual typically requires a significant amount of resources and magical knowledge.
- Exploitation: While the soul is trapped inside the stone, it can be exploited by the possessor of the stone. This includes using the soul as a ritual component or extracting information from it through various magical means.
- Destruction: The soul remains inside the stone until it is either released through the proper ritual or the stone is destroyed. Destroying the stone releases the soul, allowing it to pass on to its destined afterlife or be claimed by a divine entity.
