Horns of Orcus

The Horns of Orcus are the actual horns from the demon lord, Orcus.

Background
The Horns of Orcus were originally a part of the demon lord of undeath, Orcus. In the history of Critical Role, a thousand years ago, two of the horns were cut off by Orcus himself and given to an avatar to be brought into the Material Plane as a way to open a doorway between the two dimensions. This avatar fought hundreds of unnamed heroes, and many fell to the creature's wrath. Eventually it was destroyed, and the horns were sealed away.

At some point, K'Varn the beholder became aware of the location of one of the horns. Over time, the beholder was able to pull the horn from the Material Plane into the Far Realm, where he merged with the evil artifact. He then made his way to the Material Plane, whether by his own will or Orcus's is unknown, and used its power to begin forming an army deep within the Underdark to wage war on the surface world.

Additional Information
The first story arc revolves around this horn as K'Varn used its power to force illithid and duergar to work together in preparation for an attack on the surface world.

The Horn of Orcus K'Varn possessed has been sealed away by Vox Machina in a temple dedicated to Bahamut in Vasselheim.
