Ugron gro-Thumog

Hideous. But clearly a compass. Made of a pale, sickly coral and tarnished silver. Within is a sealed vessel filled with a cloudy and distasteful liquid. The directional needle is formed from a carved soul gem. It spins, regularly and consistently. But it does not align with north.

Muzah-Tei

Had the opportunity to test function while traveling. Needle aligns regularly and consistently. But locus of alignment shifts, like the stirring of a tide. Additional and distressing note to add to our records: carrying it overland caused me to hear whispers from unseen spirits.

Ugron gro-Thumog

I can now attest to this abomination’s function. It is a compass that aligns towards death. A necromancer-adventurer I met at a tavern aided me in some simple testing. I detest this thing. Codex closed.
