Necklace of the First Lie
A slender silver chain holds a teardrop-shaped smoky crystal that seems to ripple with unseen stars. The crystal is set in an openwork bezel of pale gold, etched with delicate runes that shimmer when truth is spoken nearby. The chain is lightweight and cool to the touch, and a faint pulse of pink light appears within the crystal whenever someone speaks a falsehood within its presence.
Lore
In the era when bargains of truth were valued above all, a master scribe named Arlath forged this pendant to test the hearts of liars. It was said that a single lie spoken within 60 feet of the pendant could unlock a hidden facet of the truth, binding it within the gem. The pendant passed through a dozen hands, each claiming to have mastered their own deceit, until it vanished into the mists of the Moonshrine. It reappeared centuries later among a guild of truth-tellers who used it to guard against political betrayals.
History
The pendant's lineage is murky; some legends claim it was forged by a dragon's hoard, others say it was carved from starlight by a monk who refused to lie to the world. It has appeared in the possession of a handful of inquisitors, a pirate king, and a wandering bard who used it to unmask traitors. The current owner, rumor says, dedicated their life to exposing lies in the name of justice.
