<h1>Artifact Descriptions</h1>
<section>
<h2>BLACK BLOOD</h2>
<p>A large vial filled with an oily and sticky black substance.</p>
<p>
It is said this liquid was gathered from a tainted spring in the depths of
the earth. Those who drink it gain a peculiar ability: when killed, their
spirit will not return to the stream of souls that permeates the world.
Instead, they will retain their conscience and remain bound to the land of
the living.
</p>
<p>Why anyone would choose such a fate remains a mystery, however...</p>

<h2>DEAD MAN'S ZENIT</h2>
<p>
It resembles an ancient gold coin, save for the skull on its back. Easily
lost or misplaced, this unassuming gold coin appears worn by age. Many who
see the shining skull on its flip side would laugh it out as a coinsmith's
prank, but old sailors would urge them to let the thing sink to the bottom
of the ocean: an old legend tells of an indestructible golden coin whose
bearer may command an army of ghostly pirates in exchange for their own
soul.

<h2>FINAL FEATHER</h2>
<p>
This beautiful feather shines with the colors of the rainbow. Countless
scholars have debated the nature and origin of this forearm-sized feather
but were unable to find an answer. Only two things are certain: it's the
last of its kind, and several legends suggest it can be crushed into a light
powder that can resurrect a recently fallen creature.
</p>
<p>
Up until now, no one has gathered the courage to put that legend to the
test, especially because it would mean destroying the feather.

<h2>HELM OF THOUGHTS</h2>
<p>
Fashioned from the skull of an unknown beast, this helm is surprisingly
light. Whoever wears this artifact can effortlessly sense the surface
thoughts and emotions of surrounding people. By focusing their attention and
using an action, the wearer can read the thoughts of a specific living
creature. While using the dreadful power of this artifact, the target only
feels a faint tingling sensation at the base of their skull, unaware that
their mind is being read.
