Tongue of Jarthis the Slaver

Jarthis was a fat Giovanni who existed for a number of centuries.

He developed an overwhelmingly lucrative slave trade, especially

with the triangle trade of the 1700s. Jarthis had the power to tell lies

better than almost anyone, and was able to spot a well-spoken lie

with ease. Jarthis was killed in 1823; the Assamite responsible

removed his tongue and returned it to the Nosferatu who sanctioned

the killing. The Nosferatu used a debt owed him by a Tremere to

have Jarthis’ talents of lying imbued in the tongue. It has passed

through many hands, and now looks like a dried-up, leathery strip

of meat. If a person puts the tongue in her mouth, she can tell a lie

without being discovered. If she holds it to her ear, she can ascertain

whether or not a given statement is a lie.
