Torvin's Luminous Pentagon

A five-sided artifact wrested from the haul of rare Adrasta mine metals, its surface cast from an unfamiliar alloy that radiates a cerulean glow without source or heat. The shape was perfect enough to feel deliberate, yet its edges threw no sharp shadows, only a soft shimmer that deepened and pulsed when Torvin’s fingers neared. His companions froze, drawn as if by strings; their grip on daggers loosened while their eyes locked onto the same hypnotic rhythm that seemed to sync with the creature bones embedded within the haul.
