Talisman of the First Sea

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 Leviathan (AGttB). The Leviathan is the primordial titan of the element of water, and a symbol of the chaotic seas of pre-creation. The Leviathan was bound by the power of God on the second day of creation, and fell into a deep slumber. This titan of destruction now lies dormant in a canyon at the bottom of the Great Sea, 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 Sea is a magical artifact that was spontaneously created in the moment that God stilled the raging seas of the primordial chaos, and the Leviathan was bound to the order of God’s new creation. The pendant of this talisman encases a glass vial containing a few drops of water taken from the first seas that were calmed during the second day of creation.

Properties of the Talisman. As an action, you can cast tehom (AGttB) from the talisman. Once you have used this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you 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 Leviathan from its magical slumber, and it rises from the depths of the sea to usher in the apocalypse of the created universe. The Leviathan is nearly invincible, and according to legend can only be challenged by the Behemoth. The talisman gives you no special control over the Leviathan, which acts according to its destructive nature.
