_Wondrous Item (artifact, keepsake), attuned by Graxen only_ A silver locket shaped like a teardrop of crystal, faintly warm to the touch. Inside rests a lock of Nissa’s pale hair entwined with a small thread of amethyst. On the rarest nights, Graxen swears he hears a soft hum from within, like the lullabies Nissa sang to their child. It is a symbol not of war, but of love, endurance, and the life he now fights to protect. --- ### Abilities **Anchor of Love.** While wearing the locket, Graxen has advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened. **Steadfast Guardian.** Once per short rest, when Graxen is reduced below half his hit points, the locket glows faintly. He gains temporary hit points equal to his Constitution modifier + his proficiency bonus, as though the thought of Nissa and his child steels his will to fight on. **Bond of the Heart.** As an action, Graxen may clutch the locket to call on Nissa’s blessing. For 1 minute: - He gains resistance to psychic and necrotic damage. - Allies within 10 ft. have advantage on death saving throws. Usable once per long rest. **Keepsake of Hope.** If Graxen dies while wearing the locket, a spectral ward (shaped like a faint silhouette of Nissa’s magic) surrounds his body for 1 minute. During this time, his soul cannot be trapped or destroyed, and allies have advantage on all checks made to restore him to life. --- - The locket never tarnishes; no matter the blood, dirt, or ash it sees, it always gleams clean again. - In moments of despair, Graxen often catches the faint scent of Nissa’s perfume when he holds it. - Children who see it swear they glimpse a soft pink-and-amethyst light flicker inside, like a heartbeat.
