Lyre of the Underworld


Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a bard)
Created by three night hags that made a deal with a half-elf
bard that wanted to become greater than the creator of the
seven legendary instruments of Falataer, imbued with the
malice of the Plane of Hades, this instrument was made to
bring others to its knees and torment those who won't.
A creature that attempts to play the instrument without
being attuned to it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving
throw or take 2d4 psychic damage.
You can use an action to play the instrument and cast one
of its spells.
Once the instrument has been used to cast a spell, it can't
be used to cast that spell again until the next dawn. The
spells use your spellcasting ability and spell save DC.
When you use the instrument to cast a spell that causes
targets to become charmed on a failed save, the targets have
disadvantage on the saving throw.
This effect applies whether you are using the instrument as
the source of the spell or as a spellcasting focus.
Spells
(Once a day each): Protection from Evil and Good,
Invisibility, Suggestion, Levitate, Fly, Phantasmal Killer,
Shadow of Moil.

Lore
It was amongst humans that this half-elf was
born, and in between family pressure and his own
he became an adventurer and a merchant, until one
day his adventures took him to a castle of a fire
giant that had summoned dark entities, and he saw
himself pleading for mercy as night hags
descended upon him and his party and there was
no way to win. He then offered a deal, knowledge
for his life, which was quickly dennied, and another
one was struck. He was to bring a travelling
companion, a tiefling nonetheless and a known
paladin of lathander, and lying his way into this
sacrifice he lead the paladin to his demise, all while
magicly forbidden of ever speaking of such accord.
After this business was done, the hags were then
open to more dealings, and the bard was able to
sustain a bargain that later rewarded him with this
lyre, and the witches with knowledge of a
divination pool that required the sacrifice of a
humanoid to function.
