Weapon
Ruin: Attuned Legendary Weapon, +2 Attack Bonus and Damage. This magic bastard sword has the finesse property. While attuned to this sword, targets with immunity to Necrotic damage is treated as Resistance to Necrotic Damage.
Each hit with this sword deals an additional 2D6 Necrotic damage. Each time a creature is damaged in this way, Ruin gains a Shadow Charge. If no creature is damaged in this way for 1 minute or more, all charges dissipate from Ruin. Charges cannot be gained from Undead creatures. A charge may be expended to immediately deal 1d8+2 Necrotic Damage to any target within 60ft.
Inexorable Fate – When Ruin holds any shadow charges, the user is granted an Aura of Necrosis, damaging all creatures within a 30 ft. sphere centered on the wielder. The user may choose to have this aura affect or not affect allies. Depending on how many charges Ruin holds, the Aura does more damage. This aura does not affect Undead creatures.
1-2: 1d8 2-4: 2d6 6-8: 2d8 8-10: 3d6
Ravenous: If Ruin holds more than 10 charges it becomes Ravenous, its Aura instantly applies to everyone within range, even the Wielder, resistance to Necrotic damage is negated for the user, Immunity to Necrotic damage is treated as Resistance for the user.

Armor
Shroud of Valravn: Attuned legendary armor, +3 AC, Grants magic damage resistance that is not Radiant. Sentient – Neutral Evil. The armor doesn’t seem to actually have a sense of loyalty, and while it does enjoy and often lauds the user for their sinister acts, victories, and plots; it will also mock them when they are damaged or otherwise impugned upon.
During battle, the Shroud of Valravn seems to “breathe”, inhaling one round, exhaling the next. Flip a coin for which effect goes first at the start of your first turn. From then on the effects proceed one after the other and this order may not be altered for any reason or by any effect.
Life Drinker: As the Shroud “inhales”, all enemy creatures within 30ft. of the user must make a Con save, if they succeed there is no effect. If they fail, they immediately take 1d6 psychic damage. The wearer of the Shroud gains 1/3 the total hitpoints inflicted in this manner added to their total, rounded down.
Breath of Violation: As the shroud “exhales”, all enemy creatures within 30 ft. must take a Con save, if they succeed there is no effect. If they fail, they immediately take 1d6 psychic damage and their movement speed in all regards is halved until the end of their next turn.
The Raven’s Due: Should the user die while wearing the Shroud, their body is destroyed utterly preventing regeneration and resurrection outside of Wish and Miracle as the armor greedily devours their failed host.

===============================================
Herald of Death
Vaelve is the one that is there at the very beginning of another's death. He can do nothing but stand there and watch the individual die. When the soul leaves the body and before Death comes to claim it, Vaelve gives one last request or wish. They are not allowed to ask for rebirth or for him to save their life but other things can be asked for.
Vaelve's True Name
SAMAEL (סמאל): The name of Poison, the accuser, seducer, and destroyer. He is said to be both good and evil. He rules over infernal and sand realms of the Earth. He is called the Prince of Darkness and is responsible for the scorching wind of the desert called the simoom.
