Nadir of Inauspicious Fortune, The (Artifact ••••)

The Nadir of Inauspicious Fortune is a potent item stolen by Irreproachable and Flawless Golden Tyrant during his escape from Thorns. It is a perfect black pearl about an inch in diameter and hung via a short soulsteel chain from a bead bracelet made from obsidian mined from the Labyrinths. The pearl produces a faintly glowing green mist around itself at all times. The mist ebbs and flows on intangible winds and covers a radius of 20 yards. The mist clings to any living beings that trespasses in the area like glowing mold and bestows the curse of Inauspicious Fortune till the next sunrise. Mechanically, anyone affected by this curse treats 8 as the target number on dice instead of 7, and 10s count as only a single success.

The wearer himself is not immune to this effect should he qualify as “living”. The item is constantly functioning and does not require attunement nor can it be turned off. Only by putting it into an air tight container of obsidian can the mist be contained.
