Properties
  • Any attempt to sever the chain causes it to regenerate instantly, forging new links from unseen, eldritch materials.

  • When attempted, each link seems to stretch and ripple as if alive, resisting all physical force.
Description

A tarnished iron chain thick enough to bind a human torso, its links flicker with an unnatural, shifting iridescence and faintly hum with a discordant, inaudible chorus.

- Encounters with the whispering links can cause sanity loss, roll for madness at 1d8.
- Its presence distorts reality locally, affecting perception and spatial orientation.
