Amulet of Malkis



In the Plane of Shadow, a dimly lit realm leached of all color, lies a room atop a tower. There is a podium against the back wall, flanked by two small arched windows.

On the podium rests a clear princess cut gemstone, set by it's corners in a hollow disc of gold punctured with three smaller round cut clear gemstones, attached to a fine golden chain.

Above the podium carved in the stone wall, reads a message:


 * We hide away what we cannot destroy,
 * Drexl the Bloodthirsty's weapon
 * The Amulet of Malkis

This is the place where Georg found and took the Amulet of Malkis.

Backstory
Drexl was a sorcerer from another dimension. He served Malkis during the war of creation. Helping to annihilate the Winter Gods. When the war was over, Drexl was a Lich and settled in the Prime Material Plane.

He was brought down by the servants of Astair and his phylactery destroyed. He's been dead for Millennia. He was one of the more well known and powerful servants of Malkis. One of Malkis' only mortal companions during the War of Creation.

Myth has it that Drexl the Bloodthirsty's weapon can absorb's souls to power up, by placing the gem inside the still living person.
