Divine Artifact: Daghdha’s Magical Harp

Weapon (harp), artifact (requires attunement by a bard)

The magical harp of Daghdha is an ancient artifact that was crafted by the god himself. It is said to be made from the finest materials, including rare woods and precious metals. The harp has the power to calm the emotions of those who listen to its music, and it can even heal physical wounds.

Properties:

• The harp has 10 charges, and it regains 1d6+4 charges daily at dawn.
• While holding the harp, the attuned bard can use an action to expend 1 or more charges to play a tune that has one of the following effects:
  • Healing Tune (1 charge): The bard plays a soothing melody that restores 10d8 hit points to up to six creatures within 30 feet of the harp.
  • Calming Tune (2 charges): The bard plays a calming tune that ends all ongoing spells affecting up to six creatures within 30 feet of the harp.
  • Enthralling Tune (3 charges): The bard plays an enchanting tune that causes up to six creatures within 30 feet of the harp to become charmed for 1 minute. The creatures will follow the bard’s commands to the best of their ability.
• Daghdha’s Blessing: Once per day, the bard can expend all 10 charges of the harp to gain the benefits of a Long Rest, regaining all hit points and spell slots. Additionally, the bard gains temporary hit points equal to their level + their Charisma modifier (minimum of 20).

Curse:

• The harp has a curse that affects anyone who is not a bard or who is not attuned to it. When someone other than the attuned bard attempts to play the harp, they must make a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature takes 10d6 psychic damage and is stunned for 1 minute. On a success, the creature takes half damage and is not stunned.

Notes: The magical harp of Daghdha is a powerful artifact that can be used to heal, charm, and even grant a Long Rest. However, its curse makes it a dangerous object to handle for anyone who is not attuned to it.

Overall, Daghdha is a powerful deity who wields immense power over the weather and fertility of the land. His abilities and divine traits make him a formidable opponent for any group of adventurers, and his regional effects can dramatically impact the gameplay experience. Players who encounter Daghdha should approach with caution and be prepared for a challenging battle.

The leader of the Celtic Pantheon, however, this says very little about the god’s behavior, which is uncouth and unpredictable. Though he normally acts like a stupid buffoon, he is certainly capable of the leading the pantheon, and as one of the older gods around, he seems to know exactly where the pantheon needs to go. He appears as a comically dressed man, tall, with a too-short tunic.
