Altar of the First Retrievers

Item · 500 gp · Weight 0.25

Barely a soul has ever managed to escape the revenge of the demons. The fiends dispatch their retrievers, the creepy mechanical spiders they created for hunting, to silently track down their enemies, runaway slaves, or renegade cultists. As legend has it, the first retriever was made by the demon Lord Haagenti, the Lord of Transformation. Throughout the ages, the first retriever fell under the ownership of different demon masters but was an impeccable servant to all. A mortal heretic and twice renegade finally put a halt to the first retriever's murderous servitude. The Templar of the Ivory Labyrinth, whose name is unknown, repented of his deeds and left the cult. The first retriever was sent forth on his trail but never returned — both retriever and prey fell in the fight. Later, the demons discovered the retriever's remains and cobweb and turned them into an altar. The retriever's ravenous hunger seeped into the altar. Decades later, worshipers took their sacrifices there — the ripped-out teeth of all who tried to flee demons' wrath but were caught and slain.
