Rebel's Heart

The Rebel's heart is a quest-related miscellaneous item in Shadows of Amn. As its name suggests, it is the heart of a sahuagin rebel. In fact, there are two different versions of this item; one real, having been taken from the chest of Prince Villynaty as per the request of King Ixilthetocal; and one fake, having been plucked from the chest of another sahuagin rebel by Prince Villynaty as part of a plan to trick the king.

Involvement

 * The Rebel's Heart is used to complete the quest The prophecy of Sekolah, either by serving as proof that the party slew Prince Villynaty, or else as a way to deceive King Ixilthetocal in order to double-cross and murder the insane ruler.

Acquisition
The magical rope is obtained in the Underwater City, after the party has been brought here by the sahuagin. After beginning the quest The prophecy of Sekolah, the party is charged with obtaining this item by killing Prince Villynaty and cutting it from his chest by King Ixilthetocal.

Prince Villynaty is hiding in the Rebel's Base, in the south-eastern portion of the city, just before the great hole leading to the Underdark. If the party has the Rebel Orb obtained from Royal High Priestess Senityili, they will be given a peaceful audience with Prince Villynaty, who will instead make them a counter-offer to betray King Ixilthetocal, offering them a fake rebel's heart to present to the mad king in place of his own.

If the player chooses to side with Prince Villynaty, they will be given the 'fake' rebel's heart and sent back to King Ixilthetocal. Otherwise, they will have to kill the prince and take his heart from his body.
