Talisman of the First Earth
Talisman of the First Earth
Wondrous Item, Artifact
In the beginning the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the Deep. This plane of elemental chaos was in habited by three titans that dominated the realms of air, water, and earth.
One of these titans was the Behemoth (AGttB). The Behemoth is the primordial titan of the element of earth, and a symbol of the chaos of pre-creation. The Behemoth was bound by the power of God on the third day of creation, and fell into a deep slumber. This titan of destruction now lies dormant deep within the earth where it awaits the day it will be awakened. According to legend, in the final days both the Behemoth and the Leviathan will awaken and do battle... and as these titans clash, the universe will crumble beneath them, returning once again to what it was at the beginning: a dark and formless void.
The Talisman of the First Earth is a magical artifact that was spontaneously created in the moment that the first dry land appeared, and the Behemoth was bound to the order of God’s new creation. The pendant of this talisman encases a glass vial containing a pinch of dirt taken from the first dry land that appeared during the creation of the universe.

use it again.
Destroying the Talisman. As an action, you can throw the talisman to the ground, shattering the vial within and desecrating its contents. Doing so releases the Behemoth from its magical slumber, and it erupts from the earth to usher in the apocalypse of the created universe. The Behemoth is nearly invincible, and according to legend can only be challenged by the Leviathan. The talisman gives you no special control over the Behemoth, which acts according to its destructive nature.
