This was something I was curious about too. I couldn't figure out the artifact's significance to the rest of the story.
I'm going to play it as a necessary piece for the ritual. But I'm also having Adrisant play as an ally of the players. He will meet them at the funeral posing as a friend of Lorimor. He will also be a member of the palantine eye. As I imagine someone with his obsession with bring back the whispering tyrant would try to use all possible avenues of resources. The eye has a fair amount, I figure he would use them as best he could.
When the players finish up ashes, they will think that both he and the count have been taken by the whispering way to renchurch and only find out that he is the one behind it all after rescuing the count.
