These items are a lesser version of the divine artifacts carried by Eris, goddess of discord. Appearing as an apple formed of pure gold, an apple of discord fills those who look on it with the desire to possess it. The apple must be thrown to the ground to invoke its power. When an apple of discord strikes the earth, creatures within a 30-foot radius of the apple must make a Will save, DC 17, or use their next action attempting to possess the apple (even if it means fighting whoever else might stand in their way). This is a mind-affecting compulsion. The apple’s magic fades after one round, and the apple turns into an ordinary (though delicious) apple of golden hue.
