A lyturhuum is a scripted headdress associated with seers from the giantman culture. It was released during the Kindred Games in 2023. When worn, it shows up in the features as its own line immediately before the worn inventory:

Though large, an elaborate ibex skull lyturhuum crowned in thrice-spiraled horns rests upon Person's head as if it is a natural part of her.

Lyturhuums were introduced alongside a lore document explaining their origins and use, The Lyturhuum.

Analyze

An elaborate ibex skull lyturhuum crowned in thrice-spiraled horns is a Lyturhuum, which is a giantkin device worn by a khuzdulym (someone with the gift of the Sight) to help them communicate with the dead.  When worn, the dead spirits of animals in the wild will share information with you randomly.  You can also LISTEN to see if any are currently nearby and willing to share information with you.  Though be warned, that information can come in many forms and isn't always terribly helpful or relevant.

ALTERATIONS:  While the lyturhuum can be altered there are some restrictions to ensure that it meets the requirements of both this script and what a lyturhuum is and does.  It must always have enormous ram horns on it, the more elaborate marked and curled the better.  It can never have rakka horns as they do not curl in the appropriate way.  Though many clans arrange theirs in various forms, the below have distinct ways in which they wear them and/or display them:

T'Kirem Bear Clan:  Worn naturally, with the horns and pelt still attached and fitted over a helm, though the fleece and skull are repurposed.
Wsalimir Wendigo Clan:  Worn naturally, with the skull, pelt, and horns all still attached, allowing the pelt & fleece to trail down the back as a type of cape.
Issimir Ogre Clan: The horns are attached to a bronze helm edged in eahnor.
Gro'kraesh Hammer Clan:  The horns are dipped in zorchar and then attached to a metal helm.

Bits of string have been known to be tied about the spirals, too, and their ends hung with anything from small bones, baubles, beads, feathers, or nuts.
