_Wondrous item, Artifact, Requires attunement_
A living artifact, it is said [[Orcus]] carved his own heart out to inherit his command over the dead, casting aside his mortal ways and taking his throne as prince of undeath.
The heart still beats, and will forever as [[Orcus]] remains. Those who hold the heart are said to hear voices, whispers of [[Orcus]]'s victims long passed, however it has never been proven as true.

While attuned to this artifact, you are immune to [[necrotic]] damage.
Once per day, you can cast the [[Finger of Death]] spell. You regain this use at midnight.
You can Raise Undead from a deceased body. If you do, you must touch the heart to the creature's chest. The newly formed undead is a servant of [[Orcus]] and will listen to all commands you or a leader of [[Orcus]]'s Grey. If more than one creature try to command a servant of [[Orcus]], they must make a contested Charisma check. The losing creature of this contest will not be listened to by servants of [[Orcus]] for the next 24 hours.
