In the Demon Spawn War (89 GE - 269 GE), an secret agent named Khalân served under Naraz-Nâru. His fall from grace came with the meeting of a cunning cambion. This half-demon was a double agent named Indal'pox, helping both the Quara'tun Covenant and a demon lord named Ahnuthall. After seducing and charming Khalân, intelligence was turned over, leading to a disastrous defeat for one of Naraz-Nâru's armies.
Khalân folly was quickly found out. Naraz-Nâru sent his former agent in chains before the judiciary branch of the Quara'tun Covenant. Khalân got off easy, with Danzar-Khâl urging leniency (probably because she was a Turkûn). She was banished from service under the Quara'tun Covenant. Additionally, all those serving the pact could not render service to her unless it was life-saving. With this sentence, Khalân was in a bad state for she was now trapped between battlefields of demons and angels that were sprinkled across vast areas of Bal-Kriav.
Khalân, dejected from being kicked out, grew vengeful. Out of necessity, mainly survival, she decided to join a mercenary force that was unknowingly serving the demons. This group ended up being rooted out with Khalân again falling into the hands of Naraz-Nâru's forces. This time her sentence was much worse. Khalân was stripped of her material form for the duration of the war. The records of Khalân state were lost when the bastion Dul-Kiz fell to the demons. The place was ravaged and anything not destroyed in the demon rampage was carried off as booty.
In the Horgon Era, an incorporeal Khalân was found by a gnoll shaman named Sadî. The self-proclaimed "spirit talker" used her witchery to detect lost spirits, finding Khalân. The spell Trap the Soul was then used to bind Khalân's to a receptacle, then forged into a now sentient trident named Khalâns Embrace.
The magical powers of this weapon are based largely on Time. A gift from Chronos, in return Sadî would spread the gospel along with her witchery. It gained no traction with the gnoll, but did spread to other groups, small cults and groups looking to manipulate time.
Khalâns Embrace is a +5 three-tined iron trident. It is inscribed with distorted images of things suffering the effects of time displacement and aging. It radiates a dull gray aura with ghostly trails of smoke endlessly rising from the tines. The air around the weapon is sometimes distorted, which can sometimes result in a displacing effect on the wielder and anyone within 10'.

| Return to Dust | being struck by the weapon requires a Foritude DC25 or suffer five years of aging and five years each day thereafter (no save on subsequent days). For dispel purposes this curse is equivalent to being cast by a 20th level caster. The curse can be ended with a heal or greater spell, though these do not remove any aging that has already occurred. This unnatural aging requires a system shock roll each time that aging happens. This effect happens 1/round and the wielder is subject to this curse if they strike them self | continuous |
| Famine and Ruin | Cause drought and famine in a 1 mile/radius per level of the wielder. All plant-life in the area of effect will wither and die over the course of one month and rainfall will be non-existent for period of six months. A 18th or higher-level caster can dispel this effect. The use of this power is very dangerous and will very likely attract high-level druids and other creatures that will seek out the cause of this destruction. Use of this power requires a Will DC25 or loss of 1 point of wisdom. This is a divine curse that is in effect as long as Aredhel remains a Higher Power. The lost wisdom point can only be recovered with a Wish spell | 1/month |
