The followers of the Broken Tusk have passed down their custom of crafting and gifting these small ivory necklaces for generations. They’re typically made from mammoth tusk (though any type of ivory will do), and each is carved to resemble a particular kind of animal—usually a raven, a moose, an ox, or an otter. Because tradition dictates that Broken Tusk followers take ivory only from already-dead animals, Broken Tusk pendants are especially rare; if an individual loses their pendant, it might be years before they acquire the materials necessary to fashion a replacement. Broken Tusk pendants bear no magical powers if they are made for oneself; only gifted pendants have true magical properties.

You wear a Broken Tusk pendant like jewelry or tie it to your clothing. A Broken Tusk pendant grants you a +1 item bonus to Nature checks; this bonus increases to +2 when you Command an Animal of the specific kind depicted by the pendant.

Activate Interact; Frequency once per hour; Trigger An animal targets you with a melee attack, and you can see the animal; Effect You gain a +1 item bonus to AC against the triggering attack, or a +2 item bonus if the animal is the specific kind depicted by the pendant.

Once per day, when you use the Broken Tusk pendant’s activation, if the animal misses you, the Broken Tusk pendant casts dominate on the animal (DC 30). You can choose whether to use this once-per-day effect after the animal misses you.

“Fetish” is a general term used by southerners for the ornaments, accessories, and jewelry crafted by the native people of the Avistani northlands. Depending on the particular community in which they are made, these small adornments might signify certain rights, social statuses, or be nothing more than pretty ornamentation. They are most commonly crafted from durable natural materials such as stone, hardwood, and bone, and strung into necklaces or bracelets with strips of hide or plant fibers. They’re often passed down or gifted to others, sometimes in meaningful ceremonies but also simply as casual gifts.

A zoic fetish often represents a specific type of animal. Many native northlanders believe that zoic fetishes grant their wearers special powers related to the animal the fetish signifies. However, only a rare few zoic fetishes actually possess magical powers like the one detailed below. Ironically, such magical fetishes are more likely to be found abroad, where wealthy collectors have few qualms about pawning powerful personal items stolen from the people of the Realm.
