This horn is made from the tusk of a mammoth and decorated with runes of frost and valor. It was once used by the legendary hero Kjeldoran to rally his allies against the forces of evil.
When you use an action to blow this horn, you can choose one of the following effects. Once you use this horn, it can't be used again until the next dawn.

Battlecry of the North

You and up to eight friendly creatures within 300 feet of you gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls and saving throws for 1 minute.

Winter's Fury

You create a blast of cold air that deals cold damage to each creature in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking half as much damage on a successful one.

Kjeldoran's Companion

You summon a spirit mammoth that appears in an unoccupied space within 60 feet of you. The mammoth acts as your ally and obeys your commands. It has the same statistics as a normal mammoth, except it has resistance to cold damage and can understand any language you speak. The mammoth disappears after 1 hour or when it drops to 0 hit points.

Lore

Kjeldoran was a legendary hero and warrior who lived in the frozen northern regions of the world. He was known for his great courage, wisdom, and leadership skills, which he used to protect his people from the threats that lurked in the harsh wilderness. Kjeldoran was a staunch defender of the weak and the downtrodden, and he would stop at nothing to ensure their safety and well-being.
Kjeldoran's most famous feat was his epic battle against the dark lord Drogath, who had amassed an army of undead and demons to conquer the world. Kjeldoran rallied his fellow warriors and led them into battle against Drogath's forces, wielding his mighty Gjallarhorn to inspire his allies and strike fear into the hearts of his enemies. Despite being vastly outnumbered, Kjeldoran and his warriors fought with unparalleled courage and ferocity, and they ultimately emerged victorious, banishing Drogath and his minions back to the abyss from whence they came.
In the midst of a fierce battle, Kjeldoran's loyal mammoth companion fell in battle, sacrificing itself to protect its master.
Moved by the mammoth's loyalty and bravery, Kjeldoran used his connection to the magic of the horn to summon its spirit from the afterlife, binding it to the Gjallarhorn. From that day forward, the spirit mammoth became a loyal companion to Kjeldoran, aiding him in his battles against the forces of darkness.
When the Gjallarhorn is blown, it resonates with the mammoth spirit still bound to it, calling forth a spectral version of the mighty beast. The mammoth's presence on the battlefield inspires courage in those who fight alongside it, and its powerful attacks can turn the tide of battle. As long as the spirit mammoth remains bound to the horn, it will continue to fight alongside its summoner, protecting them from harm and striking fear into the hearts of their enemies.
After the battle, Kjeldoran became a revered figure among his people, and his legacy lived on for generations. His Gjallarhorn became a symbol of hope and inspiration, and it was passed down from generation to generation, entrusted to only the most worthy and courageous warriors. Even in death, Kjeldoran's spirit remained a guiding force for his people, and his name became synonymous with honor, courage, and the unyielding spirit of the north.
