Heart of Hadar

Physical description
The Heart of Hadar is a metal, eye-shaped pendant, the iris of which is made of a black material that light does not seem to penetrate. It is very ornately decorated, heavy, and worn on a silver chain.

History
The origins of the Heart are unknown, but it was owned by The Warlocks for some time before being given to Anmon. Thakrak had considered other gifting it to other, more capable apprentices, but their connection to The Traveler was not nearly as strong as Anmon’s.

Traits and Properties
When he first touches it, Anmon feels an unsettling power.

By concentrating on the artefact, the user is able to open a tear in space and time, opening a portal to the realm of Hadar. All beings tainted by the Devourer’s power are then sucked through, and banished. The user of the Heart is unaffected by this banishing power. Its current purpose is to remove The Children of Hadar from Varian.

The Heart can only be given away, it cannot be taken from someone. By giving it, the owner transfers ownership of the Heart to the recipient. If the owner of the Heart dies without giving it away first, the only way to take it is to barter directly with their soul.

Appearance in the Story
The Heart was given to Anmon on his introduction to help him in his quest to banish the Children of Hadar.

Current Location
The Heart of Hadar was given back to Lord Thakrak when the threat of The Silver Eye Cult became more serious than that of the Children of Hadar.
