D&D General Would You Sacrifice This Item? Eye of Selune (Artifact)

[Zardnaar]

Trade a magic item for NPCs? But NPCs belong to the GM. Heck no!

Party gets to cast in dead magic zones.
They know tethered a big one is.

Do they know what will happen if it is sacrificed?
Have they spoken with the enclave to be summoned?
Do they know if the enclave will be an ally?
Do they know how the enclave's mythallar will help them?
Are they hard pressed without the enclave?
Insert many other questions here.

There's no way we can really answer your question without a hell of a lot more knowledge of what is known and happening in your game.

My answer right now is yes, no, and maybe.

They dont know any of that.

A Selunute Harper has asked them to travel to Elha'Zad. There they can do a ritual of waxing but won't know what it does beyond Selunes grace. Quest giver will be an Aasimar or celestial. 2 of then are Selunites including the wielder.

If they don't know anything, they probably aren't going to sacrifice the artifact unless you have that player's god order it to be done, and then you're the one doing it, not the players.

Perhaps releasing a bit of information about what would happen would work. Not everything, but enough that the PCs know that it might be worth the risk to sacrifice the eye.

We it woukd be "for Selune" or dress it up as her grace or something.

Actress to a mythallar and armory fir final battle would be a potential reward.

Having two mythallars neat each other would also draw out certain characters line moths to a flame. Players woukd have to face them directly but interrupted their machinations/rituals
