Emberheart
Description
A fist-sized crystal that pulses with internal flames — red, gold, and blue light swirling in an eternal vortex. The crystal is warm to the touch but never burns the holder. When activated, it releases harmonic tones that resonate with draconic energy. Originally forged by the First Sages as the keystone of the Pact of Seven Flames.
Properties
- Fire Resistance: While attuned to this item, you have resistance to fire damage.
- Ember Storm (3/Day): Cast fireball as a 5th-level spell (DC 18).
- Investiture of Flame (1/Day): Cast investiture of flame.
- Pact Amplifier: When within 60 feet of a Dragon Lord using their breath weapon, the Emberheart can double the damage of that breath weapon (1/Day). The Dragon Lord must be willing.
Rite of Seven Flames
The Emberheart's true purpose. When held at a seal anchor and activated in the presence of at least three Dragon Lords channeling their breath weapons simultaneously, the Emberheart can either:
- Reinforce the seal (seal stabilizes, instability reduced to 0)
- Shatter the seal (seal is destroyed, releasing bound elemental energy)
This function consumes the Emberheart's energy for 1 week per seal affected.
Lore
The Emberheart was carved from the heart of the first star to die over Aethrune. The First Sages captured its dying light and shaped it into a vessel for draconic power. It has reforged the seals twice in history — once at the Sundering, and once 500 years ago when Ignivar attempted to break them.

Found in the Crucible of Ash, guarded by Ignivar, the Betrayer (Arc 3 - Heart of the Mountain#Hook 11: The Crucible of Ash).
