White Sistrum

The White Sistrum is a magical artefact brought to the Old World from the Hinterlands of Khuresh.

Overview
There are many night-haunted legends emanating from the foetid jungles and deadly wastes of the far Hinterlands of Khuresh. Stories abound of the dread Snake Men and the foul and nightmarish Blood Naga queens who rule there, and it is a realm where men are no more than hunted prey, and blood and souls are the only coin in trade. Rarely do artefacts of this fell civilisation reach the Old World and all are steeped in blood and misunderstood power. One such artefact is the White Sistrum, a strange ivory-graven rattle-drum shaped like an hourglass, whose discordant music brings madness and death, and evokes the terrible rites of the Naga - invoking their power and the slaughter of forgotten ages when the cold-blooded serpents of Chaos held the world in a stranglehold of terror.
