Medallion of False Life

Type: Cursed jewelry
Origin: Age of Silence
Current Status: Multiple copies exist

Description

These medallions appear as beautiful golden pendants bearing symbols of health and vitality. They promise eternal youth-and initially, they deliver.

Curse

The Medallion halts aging and heals injuries, but it does so by draining life from those around the wearer. Family members sicken. Friends waste away. The wearer remains healthy while everyone they love dies.

History

Created by a mage desperate to save his dying wife, the first Medallion killed their children within a year. The mage destroyed himself in grief, but his notes survived, and others have recreated the cursed items.

Warning

Anyone found wearing such a Medallion is assumed to be either a victim (in early stages) or a monster (in late stages). The Conclave offers substantial rewards for their destruction.
