Necklace of the Fading Autumn

Small Wondrous Item (Requires Attunement)

Rare

Description
Once a small keepsake kept by an expeditionary Autumn Fae, this necklace has been imbued with some small bit of the power of the Withered Lands. It may have once been a family heirloom, as it is inscribed with several tiny names in Sylvan linked by intricately carved vines and branches.

Instructions
Twice per long rest as a bonus action, the attuned wearer of the Necklace intone the command word: Ystratha (“Family” in Sylvan). When uttered, the wearer immediately takes 1d6 HP damage which cannot be mitigated by resistances or immunities, and their HP maximum is reduced by the same number for one hour. However, they may add the number of HP lost to the next attack, ability check, or saving throw they roll within one minute. The first bonus must be used before the command word can be said again.
