ring, rare (requires attunement by a tiefling)

Crafted from brass and obsidian and engraved with intricate infernal symbols, this ring is specifically designed to be worn on a Tiefling's horns, securing itself magically without causing any discomfort.

Infernal Insight

You have a knack for sensing the hidden motives and intentions of others. You can use an action to make an Insight check against a creature you can see within 30 feet of you, contested by the creature’s Deception check. If you succeed, you learn one of the following pieces of information about the creature, chosen by the DM: its alignment, its emotional state, its surface thoughts, or its current goal or intention. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Forked Tongue

You have advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) or Charisma (Deception) checks when interacting with fiends and creatures from the lower planes, such as demons and devils.

Twisted Fate

The Infernal Hornclasp allows you to tap into their innate connection to the hells. Once per long rest, as a reaction when failing a saving throw, you can twist fate in your favor and reroll the saving throw. You must use the new result.

Lore

In the shadowed annals of the Nine Hells, where demons and devils clashed in eternal discord, there emerged a crafty Tiefling artisan named Lysandra Emberhorn. Unlike her brethren, Lysandra possessed an insatiable curiosity about her infernal heritage. Forged amidst the fires of the Abyss, she was drawn to the mystical energies that coursed through her veins.

One fateful night, guided by whispers from the abyssal depths, Lysandra ventured into the heart of the Nine Hells, seeking forbidden knowledge. There, she encountered a mysterious entity, a dark spirit bound to an obsidian ring. This spirit revealed itself as Argoth, a forgotten tiefling warlock of great power. Argoth had been trapped within the ring for centuries, his knowledge and abilities waiting to be unleashed by a worthy bearer.
With a pact forged in the depths of the Abyss, Lysandra became the keeper of the Infernal Hornclasp. The ring, once worn by tieflings of great repute in ages long past, was now hers to wield. The Hornclasp, fashioned to be worn on tiefling horns, melded seamlessly with her infernal crown, imbuing her with ancient powers.
Lysandra, driven by newfound purpose, returned to the mortal realm. With the Infernal Hornclasp adorning her horns, she became a beacon of tiefling resilience and wisdom. Tales of her exploits spread far and wide, inspiring tieflings across realms to embrace their heritage with pride.
Throughout the centuries, the Infernal Hornclasp found its way into the hands of tieflings in need, appearing at crucial moments in their lives. Each wearer added a chapter to its storied history, their deeds echoing through the fabric of the planes.
Legends tell of tiefling heroes who faced insurmountable odds, their horns adorned with the Infernal Hornclasp, standing defiant against the forces of darkness. It is said that the Hornclasp, an artifact steeped in infernal magic, carries the echoes of every tiefling who has worn it, a testament to the enduring strength and resilience of their kind.
To this day, tieflings seek the Infernal Hornclasp, hoping to be chosen as its next bearer. The artifact remains a symbol of tiefling pride, a reminder that their heritage is not a curse but a source of untapped power, waiting to be harnessed by those who dare to embrace the legacy of the Nine Hells.
