Horn of Ethrum

Wondrous Item, rare

Crafted from the tusk of the lauk, they are ashen white. Huge at the bowl yet narrow at the mouth where gold or silver, its coiled intricate design binds them. Glyphs of men riding horses often round them. These men ride with horns to their lips as if sounding a battle charge. The end of the horn is carefully shaped and it is coated in gold or silver. A leather strand hangs upon it, long to give the wearer plenty of room to bear it upon their backs during battle.

For indeed a Horn of Ethrum’s sole purpose is to inspire men in battle. When sounded, the weight of its blast carries across far fields, disconcerting foes and heartening friends. Any foe within 60 ft. that hears a note sounded upon the horn must immediately make a Wisdom save (DC 15). If they fail that save, they are immediately knocked prone and suffer from the frightened condition for 10 rounds. Allies within 60 ft. feel emboldened and inspired, gaining a +1 to all attack rolls and saves and an additional 1d6 damage to all attacks. They cannot be affected by the frightened condition. The effects of the blast last 10 full rounds. The horn cannot be sounded to such an effect again for 1 day.

Iergild Silver has an AC of 24 and 3 times the hit points of a normal object. Iergild Steel has an AC of 23 and doubles the hit points of a normal object.

A 1 pound block of the metal is valued in gold pieces as follows: Gold 25,000; Silver 16,000; and Steel 9,000.
