Wondrous Item (viol), legendary (requires attunement by a non-evil character) Olivia is an ornately crafted viol made of a polished dark wood. It is decorated by carvings of vines and leaves.

This ability has no effect on undead or constructs. A creature may only benefit from this healing once per long rest. Inspiring Tune. You may use your action to play a song on Olivia. When you do, choose two creatures within a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on yourself.

She can speak Common, Elvish, Goblin, and Deep Speech, as well as any languages her player knows. She can also communicate telepathically with her player. Personality. Olivia tends to be shy, but she speaks warmly with whoever she is attuned to after a while. She has a light, happy personality in general, but tends to err on the side of caution. Olivia refuses to be attuned to evil-aligned characters due to the events leading to her death. If her wielder purposely does something that would cause harm to an innocent person, or if their alignment shifts to evil, there will be a conflict with her at the next dawn. When asked about her past, Olivia says that she was a human bard in Waterdeep. She was a fiddler for a unit of the Waterdhavian Army, and during an attack on a hobgoblin encampment, they were led into a trap, and all but two of them were killed by ogres and hobgoblins alike. After a few years, during which the two looked after each other, they decided they were ready to start adventuring again. After killing a group of hobgoblins menacing a small town, they returned to the town to collect their reward and rest. That night, Olivia stepped out and took a walk into the woods to clear her head. While in the woods, though, she ran into a particular Hobgoblin Iron Shadow that her party had run into a few times before. After a moment of silence, the hobgoblin smiled, and then fell to the ground, and the Intellect Devourer that had been using the hobgoblin's body set its sights on Olivia. After that, Olivia was just an observer to the monster's actions. Betraying her friends at Thornhold and helping the hobgoblins take over, sending another unit of the Waterdhavian Army into a trap, trying to kill her sister Blake, just to name a few. After Olivia's old party, as well as Blake, hunted her down and killed her, as well as the Intellect Devourer who had been using her, they took her body back to Waterdeep. But even though Blake tried to cope with Olivia's death by keeping her necklace, losing her only remaining family was too much for her. She sought out a contact of hers, a powerful wizard, who infused Olivia's soul into the heart-shaped sapphire on her necklace, which was then incorporated into her viol.
