Crafted from enchanted silk, this scarlet and canary backpack hangs loose and open. Its phoenix-crested latch was broken long ago. Perhaps it was slit open as well, given the long line of white stitching along the right side, but there is no way to know. The straps are fashioned from a sturdy leather and the way it sits on the body allows ample room for a fully stocked quiver beside it. Once riled, Castille’s Worries opens its aperture wide like a hungry maw and spits vials from its bottomless belly to bring down its prey.

To be a hero is not to be without doubt

Even paragons harbor anxieties.

Castille listened not to his, but shut them away

Only to have everything he loved pay the price.

Regrets weigh heavier than blades and armor

Sometimes even in death, they doth linger.

Castille's Worries

Unique, Intelligent Wondrous Item. Requires Attunement.

Castille’s Worries functions as a Bag of Holding. In addition, the bag holds 4 charges. The owner can expend a charge to pull a fresh Potion of Healing from the bag. This Potion of Healing must be consumed within the next minute or it evaporates into nothingness. Whenever the owner slays a creature with more hit dice than it, Castille’s Worries regains 1 charge. Castille’s Worries cannot regain more than 4 charges in a 24 hour period.

Castille's Worries is an intelligent magic item without an alignment and an Intelligence of 8. It's primary drive is to gather the Ashen Panoply together to 'keep its owner safe', though it may have an alternative motive there. (Okay it definitly does). Otherwise, it is a stick in the mud and consantly mother hen's its owner, advising them to take the most cautious route whenever possible. On command, it can list any of its contents and must do so truthfully.

Along with the rest of The Ashen Panoply,Castille's Worries counts as one attunement no matter how many pieces of the set the character carries.
