"Just because they say you are paranoid does NOT mean that they are not out to get you!."
——Felzar, the Mad Mage during construction of the first Ocular Crest

Description

The ocular crest appears as a large, brass hexagonal medallion with a phantasmal eye burning at the center of the piece, frantically darting around casting rays of disorienting light as it searches for threats. It is clearly magical, and often has a tendency to draw unwanted attention. Less flamboyant versions are said to exist, however these ostentatious devices are the most common.

Lore

This item was first created by Felzar the Mad Mage, insane by his own admittance. He also admitted to creating the item, claiming that its powers would protect kings around the world from would-be usurpers and assassins. He planned to mass produce them so no one would ever be caught unawares again, but was most unfortunately slain during the one hour of sleep he allowed himself every night. The designs for its construction vanished along with several other artifacts, spell-books and his butler, who many suspect was responsible for his demise.
