Amulet of Whispering Stars
A star-shaped necklace bearing eyes in each point and a larger eye in the center - the symbol of the Cult of the Whispering Stars. One of the eyes matches the psionic aberration encountered in the corrupted cave exactly.
Recovered from a dead cultist in the corrupted cave. Madam Helena carries it.

The Pattern: When combined with Thalen's starry cloak and mapped against the Wildermarch, the amulet revealed a deliberate pattern. The star points correspond to known cult activity sites: the cliffside obelisk, the corrupted cave, the reef, and the mountain cavern.
The largest eye on the amulet — its center — corresponds to an empty field beyond the outpost. Whatever the cult is building toward, that field may be its focus.
The Five Eyes: Silas, a captured cultist, revealed that each eye on the symbol represents a different entity.
Each Eye is a truth. Each eye is a different ending, each worse than the last. It does not just watch the world, it chooses it. It shapes the world around them to their fitting, and not to yours. Too many eyes to lie. Too many mouths to agree - they argue while they chew, none of them agreeing on what to eat. It remembers being everyone and no one all at once. A storm as tall as a mountain, with a face carved from the thunderheads. Run, if you like...the horizon belongs to it. It's wings create winds that lift cities, with a voice that splits skies. A beast larger than castles, than cities, than states. Drifting where there is no ground. It's jaws open into a darkness that does not end. It's eye, wide and unblinking, seeing through worlds like a window. This one...this one is older then the rest. Older then all. This saw everything be made.
