Deer Effigy

The deer effigy is a mysterious item that is believed to be in the Feywild. One of its legs is now in the possession of the party.

Physical Description
The effigy is made of stone and is the size and shape of a deer. It seems to exude power. One of its legs has been broken.

Plot
The effigy has been referenced many times over the course of the campaign.

First, it was mentioned by Guineleth's colleagues. They said that they had found a deer effigy and that one of its legs had broken when they grabbed it. Shortly after, they were chased by what is presumed to be the Phantom Queen, and were likely killed by her.

Next, references to it appeared in the dreams of some party members in Nelune.

Finally, Sichain took an interest in it. It was revealed that Guineleth's colleagues had promised and failed to bring it back to him, so he has now requested that the Pipebringers make an attempt. The reasons he gave for wanting it were curiosity and seeing if he could use it for the benefit of the Winter Court. When they mentioned it to Guineleth, he was also interested in seeing it.

Upon speaking with Applesauce, the party discovered that it has a unique property of disintegrating people. It disintegrated Applesauce's arm when she touched it; in addition, more of her body was disintegrated in the shockwave when her companion, Adrian, broke the statue's leg. Interestingly, her companion was not disintegrated in the shockwave - he apparently suffered nothing more than the intense headache that everyone in Lond had experienced around that time.

Connection to Danu
It has been theorized that the effigy may have some connection to Danu due to the deer symbolism. It appears that Danu's holy symbol is a deer.
