Origins

Came from the famous whaleship Essex, which was attacked by a sperm whale and sank. The incident inspired Herman Melville to write the story, Moby-Dick.

Effects

Is always moist from spending time in the ocean and can easily be torn apart by a person's bare hands, although this will not prevent or stop the artifact's power. When put in the water, causes nearby wildlife to attack you and anyone you're with. Is stashed in the Triple-Form Layaway, in a box made of flexible glass.
