Chains of Asmodeus
weapon (whip), artifact (requires attunement)
Forged in the deepest pits of Nessus, the Chains of Asmodeus were once wielded by Asmodeus’ chosen enforcers, used to break the wills of betrayers and drag the damned into servitude. It is a long and wicked whip made of interwoven black iron chains. The links are etched with glowing infernal runes that pulse with a deep crimson light. At the tip of the whip, the chains split into several jagged barbs. When wielded, the whip moves like a living thing, writhing and twisting as if eager to strike. A faint haze of black smoke rises from the metal, carrying the scent of burning flesh.
