Artifact
Lyre of the Abyssal Choir
The Lyre of the Abyssal Choir is a hauntingly beautiful instrument made from a twisted black wood that seems to writhe and move in the shadows. Its strings are made from the sinew of demons, and its frets are etched with abyssal runes that glow a sickly green in the dark.1
When played, the lyre can unleash powerful and dangerous magic. Its music can summon an abyssal choir of quasits from the depths of the Abyss, demons hostile to every creature that is not a demon, sparing only the one who plays.2
