The Tongue of Jarthis the Slaver is a vampiric artifact.
Overview[]
Jarthis Giovanni was a corpulent Cainite who existed for a number of centuries. He developed an overwhelmingly lucrative slave trade, especially during 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. He 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 their mouth, they can tell a lie without being discovered. If they hold it to their ear, they can ascertain whether or not a given statement is a lie.
