Spare

Legendary

Weapon (longsword), legendary (requires attunement by a creature of non-evil alignment) Only recently uncovered from the depths of the Sanrach Mountains, Spare is an exquisitely crafted longsword with a blackened steel blade and a hilt fashioned into the head of a dragon. You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon. In addition, it has all of the properties of a flame tongue (see "Treasure" in chapter 7 of the Dungeon Master's Guide). Once per day, while the weapon is unsheathed, it can be used to cast vicious mockery as a 7th-level spellcaster (spell save DC 14). Once used, this ability cannot be used again until a the completion of a long rest. Sentience. Spare is a sentient chaotic good weapon with an Intelligence of 14, a Wisdom of 11, and a Charisma of 16. It has hearing and normal vision out to a range of 60 feet. The weapon can speak, read, and understand Common, Elvish, and Undercommon. Personality. Spare is extremely haughty and proud, demanding that its user portray the same level of integrity and dignity that it requires for itself. It periodically mocks enemies in combat and has truly earned the name of a flame tongue. If the sword's wielder takes action outside of the sword's good-aligned tendencies, or shows an extremely poor performance (such as rolling a 1 on an attack roll or skill check), Spare openly berates the wielder. If such an even happens more than twice in a row, the sword uses its vicious mockery ability upon the wielder itself. Lore. This ancient sword was once wielded by the legendary warrior, Sabashin Gatorhead. After his rival was soundly defeated in an honorable duel, instead of taking his life as was custom, his soul was ensorcelled into the blade. Though the sword insisted on being called "Fire of Destiny," Sabashin thought it was a silly name and thus didn't call the sword anything. After Sabashin's passing, the sword had passed through various hands until it fell into the ownership of Lord Galoray, a ruthless overlord. Galoray became so tired of the sword's constant beratement, he left it in his keep, mounted on a decorative display with a plaque that read "Spare."

Tome of the Stilled Tongue

Legendary

Quaryl's Codex (Tome of Stilled Tongue) Wondrous Item, Legendary (requires attunement by a wizard) This thick leather-bound volume has a desiccated tongue pinned to the front cover. Five of these tomes exist, and it's unknown which one is the original. The grisly cover decoration on the first tome of the stilled tongue once belonged to a treacherous former servant of the lich-god Vecna, keeper of secrets. The tongues pinned to the covers of the four copies came from other spellcasters who crossed Vecna. The first few pages of each tome are filled with indecipherable scrawls. The remaining pages are blank and pristine. If you can attune to this item, you can use it as a spellbook and an arcane focus. In addition, while holding the tome, you can use a bonus action to cast a spell you have written in this tome, without expending a spell slot or using any verbal or somatic components. Once used, this property of the tome can't be used again until the next dawn. While attuned to the book, you can remove the tongue from the book's cover. If you do so, all spells written in the book are permanently erased. Vecna watches anyone using this tome. He can also write cryptic messages in the book. These messages appear at midnight and fade away after they are read. This item is found on Magic Item Table I in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. This thick tome contains pages of thin, hammered copper and has thin covers of slate. It is held shut by a severed elven tongue. Occasionally, the attuned user of this spellbook finds messages that have been scrawled by someone claiming to be Netherese; this ghostly writer refers to itself simply as “the warlock” and frequently opines on the power of the one true god of magic: Mystryl.
