Crimson Tyrant

Weapon (any axe), very rare (requires attunement) This fiery axe is the masterpiece of the renowned elven smith, Rhuinon, and their final entry into the ongoing contest to curry the favour of the mysterious Forgemaster.

The creature must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or fall prone, prostrating itself before you. Punish the Defiant.
