Eye of Ornduhl

Wondrous Item, legendary (requires attunement)

Ornduhl, in the Red God’s duel with Trilikorr, the blue dragon, was caused great loss. He sought to drag the beast to the underworld, and he wrestled with her. She tore from his grasp and ripped his left eye from its socket. She took the eye to the heights of the world, and there she swallowed it. It burned within her and solidified until she vomited it forth. The resultant jeweled eye fell to earth and was lost; man, dwarf and beast, seek it, for legends tell of its wondrous power.

The legends hold true, for the eye is magical, borne of a god and fired in the belly of a dragon. Smooth to the touch, and for the casual viewer, the eye actually possesses many sides from which the wielder can see many things. Holding the jewel before one’s own eye, he can see as if casting a scrying spell. The wielder must make a Wisdom save (DC 15), a failed check reveals the object or person in a false light. Furthermore, the scrying can be extended to places and things and even moments in time, whether past, present, or future.

For the eye to be fully functional, one must place it in an empty eye socket. Once placed, the eye attaches itself permanently to the user, separating only upon the death of the bearer. Upon utterance of the command spell, the eye comes alive, granting its host darkvision 120 ft. The host can detect evil and good at will. Once per week, the host can command the eye to cast a finger of death. However, the host must also make a constitution save (DC 18), a failure results in the eye casting the death ray upon the host instead.
