Magician
Magicians follow 5E Wizard rules except as following:
The six Crafts (Conjuration [Evocation, Conjuration,
phantasms], Druidic Lore [controlled elemental magic,
natural magic], Enchantment [Transmutation,
Enchantment, hallucinations], Magecraft [Abjuration,
psychic abilities, force, meta-spells), Necromancy
[Necromancy, healing and inflicting wounds, curing
illness and conditions], and Priestcraft [divine magic,
inspiration, future divination, and alignment]) replace
Schools and the Arts are added.
Spells from a Foreign Art or a Neglected Craft require a
Casting Check using their Spell Attack modifier at
DC15+spell level to cast. Spells that are both require a
check with disadvantage.
Proficiencies
Weapons: All simple weapons and scimitars

Spells
In addition the spell slots listed on the Wizard class
chart, magicians gain a single 10th
level spell slot at 19th
level and retain 1 slot at 20th.
There is only one 10th
level spell, Miraculum.
Arcane Craft Traditions
Apprentice magicians are tested and channelled into
the most suitable Craft for their aptitudes and interests.
Their education involves much reading, memorization,
calculation, and study, tending to be highly structured
and formal. Magicians are organized into seven
traditions of practice based on specialization in the six
Crafts: Conjurers, Druids, Enchanters, Mages,
Necromancers, Priests, and Wizards. Specialists choose
one Craft as their Neglected Craft, most commonly
Priestcraft or Druidic Lore due to their restrictions. As
the most basic of the Crafts, Magecraft is the first one
that magicians learn and the least common Neglected
Craft. A magician must choose their Craft Tradition at
1st
level.
All magicians get at-will Trackless Step (can
hide own tracks, trail, and other signs of passage at will
as if using Pass without a Trace without the veil of
shadows) at 4th level.

War resulted in witchcraft and the Necronomicon being

witch and do not relent.
Warriors
Barbarian
There is no Barbarian class on Aldyryc. Berserker is a
martial archetype for the 5th edition Fighter created
with Barbarian abilities. The closest thing to a 5E
Barbarian is a Berserker with the Tough feat and the
Wilderness Warrior Outlander background option. A
barbarian like Conan would also possess a few levels of
Rogue.
Fighter (Myrmidon)
There are four martial archetypes for fighters:
Berserker, Battle Master, Champion, and Dreamwarrior
(Eldritch Knight)
Berserker (Warrior of the Eye)
The Berserker Martial Archetype has the following
abilities:
4th level = Odin’s Eye Training: Rage (as Barbarian
but requiring Wisdom save DC 21 – (number rounds
spent ranging [DC12 to DC20] to end willingly and
must continue attacking until it does) plus
Unarmored Defense.

level = Wild Abandon*: Feral Instinct plus Fast
Movement and Reckless Attack

level = Ferocity*: Relentless Rage plus Brutal
Critical (1 dice, 2 dice at 14
th
, 3 dice at 18
th
)
15
th
level = Persistent Rage (with complete control)
18
th
level = Indomitable Might
* Available only while raging.
Also known as Rage Warriors in some
languages, the first expert warriors were Berserkers,
trained to undergo an intense ritual to control their
adrenaline flow in order to summon and end powerful
rages. Titans first discovered the Odin’s Eye mushroom,
named for its circular red cap with central black dot,
around the time giants discovered fermentation and
brewing. Accidentally brewed into beer, the mushroom
unleashed a flood of adrenaline creating a raging
juggernaut. Odin’s Eye creates the effects of a Rage
spell, but fully equal to the Barbarian ability, combined
with the effects of Confusion spell for 1d6 hours,
followed by fatigue for twice as long unless a new dose
is taken. Taking more than one dose at time or
overlapping doses causes an immediate eight hours of
unconsciousness and 24 hours of fatigue.
First called Warriors of the Eye, young titans
would go into isolation, alone or with a master, to
“Stare-Down the Eye”, taking only Eye Mead as
sustenance beyond forage and fresh game. The titan
had to maintain the Rage except when unconscious
from exhaustion for as many days or weeks as it took to
master the Confusion with three successful Will saves
before three failures with one check per dose. Three
failures reset the count. Once this occurred, the titan
needed to make one more Will save once per hour,
success ending the Rage. Brains condition and glands
trained, they were now safe to return to their people as
apprentices working to become masters able to end the
rage without a Wisdom save DC 11+number of rounds
left in rage, [DC12 to DC20] to end willingly.
Considered sacred and connected directly to
Odin, at first only titans were worthy of the Eye but as
their struggle to establish a civilization became
desperate, use spread throughout the giant sub-races,
dooming them to failure. Instead of displacing the
dragonnethi, giant infighting became rampant and the](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/aldyryccampaignguidefordd5e-171219063513/85/Aldyryc-Campaign-Guide-for-Dungeons-Dragons-5th-Edition-53-320.jpg)

the demons of the Abyss as their greatest enemies, it is
among the devils of Hell that most brijidines find focus
for their anger. The fact that devils are immune to fire,
the brijidine's greatest strength, frustrates and angers
these azatas all the more, forcing them to become far
more imaginative and creative in their tactics when
facing such foes. A brijidine stands 5-1/2 feet tall and
weighs 150 pounds.

Special Abilities
Whirlwind Blast (Su) When in wind form, a bralani can
attack with a scouring blast of wind, dealing 3d6 points
of damage in a 20-foot line (Reflex DC 17 half). The save
DC is Constitution-based.
Wind Form (Su) A bralani can shift between its
humanoid body and a body made of wind and mist as a
standard action. In humanoid form, it cannot fly or use
its whirlwind blast. In wind form, it functions as if under
the effects of a wind walk spell. It can make slam
attacks and use spell-like abilities in either form. A
bralani remains in one form until it chooses to assume
its other form. A change in form cannot be dispelled,
nor does the bralani revert to any particular form when
killed (both shapes are its true form). A true seeing spell
reveals both forms simultaneously.
Bralanis are among the fiercest and wildest of the
azatas, living from moment to moment and always on
the lookout for chances to test their skill in battle. In
addition to their elf-like forms, they can take the shape
of whirlwinds of dust, snow, or sand. In the mortal
realm, they are often mistaken for djinn. They delight in
violent weather, not for the destructive qualities of such
events, but for the intensity and energy, and many tales
describe bralani as spirits who laugh as they sail amid
the strongest storms.
Bralanis do not need to eat, but they enjoy doing so.
Most prefer elven food, fiery human dishes, and spiced
wine. Because of their similarities to elementals and
fey, they sometimes act as intermediaries between
mortals, elementals, and fey, though they prefer to
arrange temporary truces that allow the interested
parties to conduct their own negotiations on neutral
ground. When taking the role of mediators—or
whenever else such opportunities present themselves—
bralani are quick to suggest friendly competitions or
games to end disputes and enjoy creating challenges or
complicated contests to test both physical and mental
mortal prowess.

All undead can cast certain spells as spell-like abilities
using their Willpower as casting ability. Higher evolved
undead can also access the spells of lower levels. Each
may be used at will, with those that require recharging
by a d6 roll or a rest so indicated on the table.
Undead Recovery
Undead have a slowed recovery rate, treating 1 full day
of 24 hours rest as if it we 1 hour. Thus for them a short
rest takes 48 hours and a long rest a full week of eight
days. During the Night of Darkness they recover at the
normal rate for the living and treat Witching Hour as if it
were two hours, enabling a short rest. Also, ghosts rise
to begin haunting the location of their death on the
stroke of that night’s midnight. Magical healing and
cure wounds spells work normally on their flesh and
bones, but not incorporeal spirits encased in dark qi.
These have to rest or gain temporary hit points through
their abilities, if able.
Vampire
Instead of being forced into gaseous form at 0 hit
points, vampires expel wraiths able to return to their
Desecrated lairs to regenerate their bodies. The
creation of undead or their continual presence for
twenty-four consecutive hours desecrates the area,
giving it the effects of a Hallow spell dedicated to Orcus
that doesn’t affect (bar) undead and has the added
effect of causing all dead bodies left in the area for 24
hours to rise as ghouls on the next Witching Hour, with
decayed corpses becoming zombies or skeletons
depending on condition. A vampire commands any
undead that rises in its lair. Spells that create or
animate undead can create twice as many in a
desecrated area and an area desecrated by a vampire
replaces a coffin and grave dirt as its restorative
sources. Vampires must rest in darkness from moonset
to moonrise regardless of the length of daylight at the
latitude. Upon moonset they gain 5 points of Exhaustion
which only resting from moonset to moonrise will
remove. They must drink blood every day, gaining at
least 21 hit points from their bite to prevent starvation.
Should their body die of starvation, they permanently
return to being spectres. A vampire can’t evolve any
farther but can increase its HD by stripping enough
victims to earn the total it desires, without practical
limit. Unless they are confident in their defenses,
vampires tend to be smart enough to locate their lairs
where the area effects don’t give them away.
Dracula
Centuries before the Fall and the sinking of Island of
Atlantis by the Faerie Alliance to destroy the hidden city
of R'lyeh. A few centuries before this, a warning came
from the Council of Powers in the form of an incurable
blood disease sent by Pazuzu, prophesied to mark the
rise of evil and impending doom. The elven Countess
Lilith, wife of Count Dracula, was among those stricken.
A sorcerous priest of Ra, Dracula begged hi god to save
her. When Ra told him to accept the Council’s](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/aldyryccampaignguidefordd5e-171219063513/85/Aldyryc-Campaign-Guide-for-Dungeons-Dragons-5th-Edition-253-320.jpg)
![255
Formed after the dissolution of the first
Round Table, a religious order founded by
Gawain, First Steward of the Ivory Throne, they
are sworn to Sirsyr, the Ivory Throne, and
Ethernia.
Based on the Code of Chivalry, the Code of
Righteousness defines this knighthood swearing
each to the following:
Thou shalt be impoverished in wealth
but rich in purity and generous in its
encouragement
Thou shalt honour all that Sirsyr teaches
and observe all knighthood directions.
Thou shalt defend churches of Light.
Thou shalt respect all weaknesses, and
shalt constitute thyself the defender of
them.
Thou shalt love the country in which
thou wast born.
Thou shalt not recoil before thine
enemy.
Thou shalt protect that entrusted to the
knighthood with thy life.
Thou shalt wage war constant and
unceasing against the workers of evil
magic and witchcraft
Thou shalt perform scrupulously thy
duties, if they be not contrary to the
law.
Thou shalt never lie, and shalt remain
faithful to thy pledged word.
Thou shalt be generous, and give
largesse to everyone.
Thou shalt be everywhere and always
the champion of the Right and the
Good against Injustice and Evil.[14]
3. The Ganite Knighthood of the Crown
Symbol: A black crown with six points
Formed by Charlemagne after the
dissolution of the first Round Table as first
monarch of the Kingdom of Ganis, based on a
disagreement with dedication to a god instead
of a mortal lord, they were forced underground
by the Silverlock Revolution where they became
a religious order dedicated to Satanael and the
return of the Monarchy to Ganis. The rise of
Napoleon brought it back to public prominence,
still claiming to be agnostic. Declaring Napoleon
the new Monarch they served him and then
Hister during the Century Wars. After Hister’s
defeat, they tried to re-establish the Monarchy
but the Republic defeated drove them back
underground. This knighthood swears to the
Code of Nobility:
Loyalty: It is a practical utility in a
warrior nobility. Richard Kaeuper
associates loyalty with prowess
Forbearance: knights' self-control
towards other warriors and at the
courts of their lords was a part of the
early noble habitus
Hardihood: The quality of hardy aligns
itself with forbearance and loyalty in
being one of the military virtues of the
preudomme. According to Philip de
Navarra, a mature nobleman should
have acquired hardiness as part of his
moral virtues. Geoffrey de Charny also
stressed on the masculine respectability
of hardiness in the light of religious
feeling of the contemptus mundi.[28]
Honor: honor was what was achieved
by living up to the ideal of the
preudomme and pursuing the qualities
and behavior listed above.[32] The loss
of honor is a humiliation to a man's
standing and is worse than death.
To fear Satanael and serve His Church
To serve the liege lord in valour and
faith
To live by honour and for glory
To fight for the Divine Right
To obey those placed in authority
To guard the honour of fellow knights
To keep faith
To persevere to the end in any
enterprise begun
To respect the honour of women
Never to refuse a challenge from an
equal
Never to turn the back upon a foe
4. The Kaldarian Imperial Knighthood
Symbol: Imperial red-headed black roc over
crossed lances
The original knighthood formed from
the cavalry of the Empire of Kaldaria with
knighthoods and land being given as rewards.
The original knight’s code, the Code of Civility
was extended to form the base of feudal society
during the Dark Ages of the Kaldarian Empire.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/aldyryccampaignguidefordd5e-171219063513/85/Aldyryc-Campaign-Guide-for-Dungeons-Dragons-5th-Edition-257-320.jpg)
![256
Loyalty: It is a practical utility in a
warrior nobility, associated with
prowess.
Forbearance: knights' self-control
towards other warriors and at the
courts of their lords was a part of the
early noble habitus.
Hardihood: The quality of hardy aligns
itself with forbearance and loyalty in
being one of the military virtues of the
preudomme.
Largesse or Liberality: generosity was
part of a noble quantity. According to
Alan of Lille, largesse was not just a
simple matter of giving away what he
had, but "Largitas in a man caused him
to set no store on greed or gifts, and to
have nothing but contempt for bribes."
Honor: honor was what was achieved
by living up to the ideal of the
preudomme and pursuing the qualities
and behavior listed above.[32]
The loss of
honor is a humiliation to a man's
standing and is worse than death.
5. The Kalvaalan Teutonic Knighthood
Symbol: Hawk in flight over wolf
Formed after the Round Table, a
religious order dedicated to Horus and their
heritage. They have become the rulers of
Kalvaala and renowned mercenaries. This
knighthood is based around the Code of
Stewardship, each sworn as follows:
To fear Horus and promote his faith
To serve the liege lord in valour and
faith
To protect the weak and defenceless
To refrain from the wanton giving of
offence
To live by honour and for glory
To despise pecuniary reward
To fight for the welfare of all
To obey those placed in authority
To guard the honour of fellow knights
To eschew unfairness, meanness and
deceit
To keep faith
At all times to speak the truth
To persevere to the end in any
enterprise begun
To respect the honour of women
Never to refuse a challenge from an
equal
Never to turn the back upon a foe
6. The Southeastern Arm’s Samurai Order
Symbol: the heraldry of their lord or land
The Code of Bushidō, way of Discipline,
a loose order based on the teachings of Xondra
summarized by the eight virtues of Bushidō:
Righteousness (義 gi) Be acutely honest
throughout your dealings with all
people. Believe in justice, not from
other people, but from yourself. To the
true warrior, all points of view are
deeply considered regarding honesty,
justice and integrity. Warriors make a
full commitment to their decisions.
Heroic Courage (勇 yū) Hiding like a
turtle in a shell is not living at all. A true
warrior must have heroic courage. It is
absolutely risky. It is living life
completely, fully and wonderfully.
Heroic courage is not blind. It is
intelligent and strong.
Benevolence, Compassion (仁 jin)
Through intense training and hard work
the true warrior becomes quick and
strong. They are not as most people.
They develop a power that must be
used for good. They have compassion.
They help their fellow men at every
opportunity. If an opportunity does not
arise, they go out of their way to find
one.
Respect (礼 rei) True warriors have no
reason to be cruel. They do not need to
prove their strength. Warriors are not
only respected for their strength in
battle, but also by their dealings with
others. The true strength of a warrior
becomes apparent during difficult
times.
Integrity (誠 makoto) When warriors
say that they will perform an action, it is
as good as done. Nothing will stop them
from completing what they say they will
do. They do not have to 'give their
word'. They do not have to 'promise'.
Speaking and doing are the same
action.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/aldyryccampaignguidefordd5e-171219063513/85/Aldyryc-Campaign-Guide-for-Dungeons-Dragons-5th-Edition-258-320.jpg)

- 17. 15 Introduction Aldyryc campaigns usethe standard D&D fifth edition rules with the additions, adjustments, and omissions, described within this Guide, along with expansions adapted from Pathfinder. Consisting largely of conversions for standard races, classes, magic, monsters and planes, the Guide follows the D&D maxim that all rules and details are considered optional, provided to enable the closest recreation of the Aldyryc milieu. Ability Scores In addition to methods in the PHB, Ability Scores may be generated by rolling 4d6; rerolling up to 4 results of 1 if desired, then dropping either the lowest or highest dice from the total result and repeating this procedure five times before assigning the results to the abilities preferred. The three mental ability scores are defined as follows: Intelligence is a measure of the effective Strength and Dexterity of the intellect and recall. Wisdom is a measure of the effective Dexterity and Constituion of the intuition and subconscious awareness. Charisma is a measure of the effective Strength and Constitution of the psyche in relation to influencing others and the sense of self. Willpower is the direct exercise of a Mental Ability, used generically for the choice of applying any single Mental Ability check or saving throw. Dreamweaving requires willpower of a type dependant on the type of dreamweaver. Expertise Unless otherwise noted under the race or class, expertise grants the ability to add proficiency bonus to the listed checks without actually being proficient. If proficient, double the bonus is added. Inspiration Points Inspiration points can be collected to a maximum of 1 + ½HD in IP and spent one at a time as an action to gain inspiration. Longevity Rating A race’s longevity rating indicates its rough metabolic rate and lifespan in relation to the lowest rating which is human. Humans reach Adulthood around 16 years, Middle Age around 35, Old around 53, and Venerable around 70, with a Maximum age of 70+5d10. The racial longevity rating indicates the factor by which these numbers are multiplied. Metabolic Requirements A Medium-size creature with Longevity 1 requires at least 2lbs of food and 4 pints of water (4lbs) for sustenance each day, Diminutive Creatures require 1/16 of this amount, Tiny creatures require 1/4, Small creatures ½, Large x4, Huge x16 times, and Gargantuan at least 64 times the Medium-sized amount. The largest Dragonneth High Ones require 16384 times medium- size requirements every 50 days. This is typically spread divided into three meals spread over the Cycle with the first upon ending the cycle’s long rest. Longevity 1 races also require a Long Rest to end the Cycle and start the new or they gain 1 point of Exhaustion. Higher rating have a longer time between mandatory long rests but require the same amount of time for the rest unless noted otherwise (see Dwarf and Ikari). Starting Age Characters roll 1d4+1 for the Fighter, Monk, and Rogue, classes and 2d6 for all other classes, adding it to 14 before applying their racial longevity rating. Aging Effects When a living creature attains an age category above Adulthood, they get 3 points to subtract from Physical Ability scores and 3 to add to their Mental Ability scores. Like the ability score adjustments every 4HD, these may be divided as desired and exchanged in order to choose a new feat and discard and old or add at the standard exchange rate. By using two points for feat addition to cancel out two points of subtraction they can pay to retain feats and reduce physical loss to 1 point while still gaining one mental point. Lifelong Learning Once they have attained 1st level in a class as well as adulthood, characters get 2000xp for ever year they live. Every New Year’s Day they make an Insight check at DC20, success granting the full award, failure granting half, and a natural 1 granting none. This award is divided by the Longevity Rating of the race because they are less impacted by a single year, tending to learn and act at a slower pace unless pressed. To an elf, an hour has the impact of six minutes and they tend to pay it as much attention. Most races tend to keep time in regards to their metabolic Cycle instead of the passage of 24 hours, an elven “day” being 240 hours long.
- 18. 16 Natural Causes At maximumage a Constitution save is required every metabolic Cycle at DC25 to avoid advancing 1 step up the Exhaustion scale toward 6. A critical failure triggers sudden, intense heart failure, a stroke, or an aneurism. Heart failure causes 3d10 points of Constitution damage that if they drop it to 0 trigger dying. If they recover, they get disadvantage on further saves. A stroke inflicts 3d10 Intelligence damage that causes 1 step of Madness if it drops it to 0. Ability damage is restored by a long rest unless deadly. High Ones also start advancing in Exhaustion levels once they attain maximum size that their hearts can sustain, but they don’t make saves to try and stave things off. Instead they roll d% at the start of each Exhaustion level and take that number of years to attain the next until sinking into a deep motionless slumber before finally ceasing to breathe. They never suffer heart failure, strokes, or aneurisms. Qi Qi is the essence of the Tao, the Void’s spirit of infinite potential. Qi, thought, and energy, are one and the same. The Tao is static, unorganized, undifferentiated, unrealized qi at maximum entropy. The Heart of Existence realizes the qi by creating paired kinetic threads of radiant and dark qi at maximum quality once per instant, combining to form the planar fabric of the cosmos. All life and matter evolved from radiant qi while demons are the only purely dark qi entities. Dark qi is parasitically attracted to radiant, cocooning it and taking control. Daemons and feyrs were created by combining demons with enough radiant qi to lock them into forms, while undead were created by infecting the living with dark qi. Races Natural Weapons listed are treated as melee weapons in hand for the purposes of how many can be used in one Action and attacking with multiple weapons. Creatures are inherently proficient with a Claw attack considered Light, Finesse and Slashing, and a Bite attack Light and Piercing. Anthropoid The First Chaos Wave transformed antha, rakshiri and rakshasa, into unstable beings called Proteans that served as the source for the creation and evolution of many anthropoid races. Pündi and humans are the only evolved races on Aldyryc; humans immigrants from the Old World of One Sun whose first arrivals began the Age of the Winds. Anthropoids are classed as “Persons” and “Humanoids” for spell and other purposes. Faerie There are five Faerie races based on the Faerie Elements, including Minos (Fire), Ikari (Air), Tritons (Water), Dwarves (Earth), and Elves (Nature’s combination). All Faerie races get the following: Environmental Adaptation: Comfort in temperatures between -40C (-40F) and +50C (122F). Above and below this range they begin to experience heat or cold difficulties if not protected in some way. Faerie Calm: Inability to be berserkers. Reincarnate: return as a type of elf until they achieve spiritual harmony with themselves and vanish into the Faerie Realms upon death (Adventuring: Death and The Afterlife) Source Connection: Magical abilities activated by spiritual connection to Hold Source in Naming Ceremony when faerie are given their adult names. Empathic touch between members of the same sub-race or race if none outside their racial Holds, full empathy and telepathic touch within their Holds. Affected by the Longing. Because of the intimate mental connections, faerie tend to have little shame regarding nudity and sexuality wearing what clothing is needed comfortable or preferred. Except for cloaks, this means nothing for ikari, Kenku, and tritons, loincloths of skin or fur, if anything, in the case of minosi, blood elves, and feral elves, simple modest clothing for forest elves, flamboyant and often revealing clothing for sea elves, formally stylish attire for mist elves, and practical durable workwear for dwarves. Although there are racial and subracial variations, faerie tend to follow the ancient social structure of the Faerie Alliance, having tried everything else during the Age of the Fallen, based on the family lad by an elder s4eriving on the Clan Council led by the eldest member who serves on the Hold Council, the Holds forming a Racial Council and the races forming the Alliance Council. In the Age of the Winds the Racial Councils have become loose or nonexistent and there hasn’t been a full Alliance since the Fall. The mist, forest, and sea elves still maintain a solid alliance while a loose alliance remains between them and the Gaxx, but most others have abandoned the idea.

Shunning (Temporary Exile) 6. Death 7. Severing (Permanent Exile) Faerie Sources The Atonement brought faerie back into communion with their gods and the Faerie Realms through the creation of Faerie Sources, faewoods being the first. The Source is the foundation for the dimensional bubble known as a Hold, containing the faerie settlement. Upon becoming adult age, every faerie is given their adult name and linked in communion with the Hold’s Source. This activates their magical abilities and gives them telepathy through touch with others of their sub-race and empathy with all lined to the Sources while inside the Hold. Beyond the Hold, this is limited to empathic touch with their subtype. Holds and Territories A Source extends a dimensional bubble in a seven-mile radius around itself between the Terrestrial and Faerie Realms known as a Hold. Accessed by Faerie Circles, one at the bottom of the bubble and the other on the Material Plane, only faerie are allowed within Holds, being where the faerie dwell and raise their families. Children are not allowed to leave the Hold unaccompanied. The Faerie Circle on the Material Plane is typically hidden in a fortified or inaccessible location, like mountaintops for Ikari, its exact location often considered a racial secret. Faeroe don’t allow non- faerie within their territories for the most part, except for those considered especially valuable allies gifted with amulets that declare them Faerie Friends. Dwarf territories are fortified Underworld tunnel systems and mines. The elves of Aldyrrya are allies with the fey of the region, the borders protected by the ever-vigilant Ent Line, an unbroken series of overlapping Ent sensory regions containing ultra-low frequency sonic vibrations that create an eerie haunted sensation in living creatures discouraging most intruders from crossing. Those who do are either chased away by Ents or of captured by elven rangers and lancers and released with their memories altered. The Longing Faerie who leave the Hold must make a Willpower save every New Year’s day at DC10+1 for every1 year multiplied by Longevity rating since last in the Hold, or be afflicted with the Longing, a Geas to physically touch the Source to which they are linked and cannot be removed or dispelled, although experienced the empathic touch of another of the same race offers a new save to throw off the Longing until a new failed save. If the faerie is linked to the exact same Source, those save has advantage. This touch only works once per individual touched until the Source is touched. The damage inflicted by the Geas is delivered each time they awake from a long rest. After each cycle of Longing the faerie must save against the Longing with disadvantage or become afflicted by short –term madness, long-term on a critical failure, that leave indefinite madness at the end of its duration, curable only by touching the Source. Should the Geas damage reduce hit points to 0, the faerie automatically stabilizes but incurs 1 point of Exhaustion that only touching the Source removes and must save versus the Longing with disadvantage or become mad as previously described. Source Defences A Source has AC20 as well as 10 times the maximum hit points of its Guardian with the same HD total, feats, and bonus action healing ability. It uses the same saves but with +4 , immunity to psychic and madness, and resistance to necrotic, poison and non- magical B/P/S as well as sharing the immunities and resistance of the Guardian. A Source can create an Antipathy field as per the spell at 18th level with +10 modifiers to defend itself, recharged by short rest. Guardians Each race has its own type of Source with a Guardian. Guardians have the Alert, Durable, Lucky, and Tough feats, are able to use their healing HD as a bonus action with HD recharged by a short rest, all rests being done by withdrawing into the substance of the Source. A Guardian can Dimension Door at will to anywhere within the Hold (which may be up to 7 miles in radius) and has the abilities of a 17th level Paragon of the listed Forms with a +10 modifier when required and 2 uses of each spell level. Guardians have all the abilities and standard for their kind with +4 to Wisdom and Intelligence, as well as Immunity to Madness and Psychic. Guardians have advantage on all saves, can Commune as if a priest, and can communicate telepathically within the Hold to anyone linked to the Source. They can grant Inspiration to every linked individual once and Clam Emotions each individual

Source Types Elven Sources are called Faewoods, giant tress or roots systems with a dryad as the Guardian, able to divide her spell uses between the Forms of Animal and Plant as desired. Dwarven Sources are called Heart Stones, giant natural rock pillars with an Earth Elemental as the Guardian with the paragon abilities of Earth. Ikari Sources are called Heart Winds, air funnels with an Air paragon Air Elemental as Guardian. Minos Sources are called Heart Fires, pools of magma with a flaming vortex in the centre and a Fire Elemental Guardian. Triton Sources are called Heart Waters, large water funnels with a Water Elemental Guardian. Source Destruction Slaying a Source requires all linked to it to make a Constitution save at DC30 or die immediately, with success granting 3 points of Exhaustion, and a DC30 Charisma save or be afflicted with permanent Berserk Rage (as berserker) and short-term madness, with a critical failure resulting in long term madness, and success with normal Berserk Rage and indefinite madness. When the initial madness of a failure ends, the victim is afflicted by incurable indefinite madness. The Guardian is slain and rises immediately as a wraith with all those linked rising as shadows at death, the Hold twisting into a dark, haunted place. Dwarf Dwarf Traits Ability Score Increase.

Outlook Dwarves are hardworking and honourable having little patience for lies or chaos. They work and play hard, often brawling for sport. They live a hard life in a hard place and condition themselves for that from childhood. Everyone learns a practical skill and how to defend themselves and others. Duergar take this to the next level, seeing the world as hostile and life as a struggle filled with toil. They are often accused of having an orc attitude by Gaxx. Society Practical in all things, dwarves aren’t big on formality or ceremony, preferring to get to the point and down to business. They only deal with outsiders who have some value to the dwarves, although Gaxx are willing to come to the aid of allies. A good defense prevents the need for offense is their motto for constructing their fortress cities outside their holds. Their artistic spirit is mostly dedicated to singing, storytelling, and working stone and metal into lasting shapes of simple beauty. They have little use for adornment, except in cases of sentimentality which they deny but to which they are prone. Duergar Alignment. Lawful Evil Ability Increase.

Then they move with fluid agility and grace, mist elves with disciplined precision, feral elves with wild enthusiasm, blood elves with savage abandon. All appreciate beauty for its own sake, most seeking to nature and protect it, except blood elves who seek to improve it with sharp instruments. Society In harmony with their environment, elven settlements blend into their surroundings. Their love for beauty finds its way into everything they touch with even simple utensils works of art compared to those of other races. There is always a sense of flow and freedom within their artifice and societies. Even the mist elves rely more on self-discipline than strict enforcement of universal laws. While all faerie are empathic, elves exemplify this, their social interactions and language designed to respect the feeling and dignity of others by avoiding offense unless offense is intended. Although their clans have no royalty, they do have a form of nobility earned by the actions of self or family. Blood Elves Ability Score Increase. +2 Constitution Alignment. CE Sadomasochism.

Claustrophobic: While indoors or underground, ikari require twice the minimum time to complete a rest, 2 hours for short and 16 for long. Each metabolic cycle spent under such conditions is treated as a full year for purposes of triggering the Longing. Description Eyes: avian brown, grey, or black. Hair: feathers cover body like a bird with the full range of possible plumage and males more colourful and decorative than females. Skin: pink tinted white; Digits: 4; Facial Hair: none; Base Height: 4’6”; Height Modifier: +2d12; Base Weight: 90 lb; x (1d4) lb Male ikari tend to have more spectacular plumage than females and Performance, especially singing, is important to their courtship rituals making them naturally beautiful singers. Ikari are shy, aloof, and suspicious of outsiders, fiercely territorial, loyal allies, and fierce enemies when aroused. Raptors, they prefer to be aloft in the open sky regardless the weather. Their aeries have silken structures without rooves. They dislike being indoors and protect their isolation using their Kenku relatives as emissaries with even other faerie. In the year 9912 of the Age of the Winds, a curse struck the ikari, spreading through their Sources, killing the old and the young by weakening their systems and transforming increasing numbers of eggs into gargoyles and harpies that have taken over at least one Hold. Continuing to spread and weaken the adults, the curse reaches even Freya causing the weather to becoming increasingly wild, turbulent, and unpredictable over the centuries. Between random kenku, gargoyles, and harpies, the number of actual ikari chicks is decreasing alarming fast. Outlook Aloof and shy ikari tend to stay close to their Holds unless driven by some personal need to travel. Fiercely territorial they protect their flocks and hunting ranges from intruders usually watching from above before driving the intruder out with dive attacks. They tend to keep their distance and avoid other races using the kenku as intermediaries. Once dedicated to a course of action they tend not to swerve from it going through great lengths to accomplish their goals. Once engaged in battle, they rarely show fear and are skilled at group coordination. Their spirit is soaring, their wills free, and their attitude often headstrong. They are happiest when in flight. Society Ikari only settle in their holds, with kenku settlements near their gateways. Ikari prefer simple structures with walls of silk, wood, or other light materials and no roof. Living in families on in their aeries, they spend much of their time joining the almost continual choir of song with a great deal of status coming attached to the beauty and complexity produced. Tightly bonded to their flocks they defend each other without thought and never abandon the fallen. Their symbiotic relationship with their kenku cousins places the ikari in the position of nobility, the decision makers and aerial defenders while the kenku serve most of the more mundane and practical functions. Thus ikari tend toward artistic and intellectual pursuits while kenku are the craftspeople and traders. Kenku Kenku Traits Ability Score Increase. Dexterity +3; Charisma +1 Alignment.

Males have splashes of colour under their eyes while females are completely black. Able to speak only through their
- 24. 22 mimicry they keepinformation close to their vests, thoroughly checking individuals out before approaching them for business or aid. Trust comes slowly. Most other races mistrust and fear them for their apparent mockery and resemblance to Rawna’s sacred ravens. They do not speak of the ikari illness, only of the need to lift a powerful curse. Kenku have an inherent inferiority complex because of their origin, not helped by the ikari viewing them as kind but misshapen demi-faerie to be pitied like handicapped cousins for their lack of colour and flight. Thus they are obsessed with making their relatives proud by helping and protecting them like ailing, honoured parents. Ending the curse is the gift all kenku wish to give. Kenku are as fiercely loyal and protective as one another as they are the ikari, tending toward secrecy and reserve around other races. Outlook Kenku are sharp of mind and senses, wary in their dealing and bold in action. Curious yet cautious they learn to conceal their origins, the locations of the homes, the ikari curse, rarely trusting anyone other than kenku and ikari. They prefer to move and work in the shadows since their appearance often generates discomfort or fascination in other races. Loyal allies, they generally seek out individuals among other races than they trust to act as their agents with those races, keep their dealings mediated and private. Kenku have a love for shiny metals and jewelry, using their collections of goodies to attract mates the way ikari use their songs. Society Dwelling in villages often composed of rounded structures made of woven branches, small trees, and the like, kenku live near and protect the gateways to ikari holds. The peasants of their combined society, they serve the ikari and act as their agents in the world while trying to find a cure for the ikari curse. Their social organization is based on skill and experience with the most travelled, most skilled the most respected. They don’t collect wealth except for practical and mating purposes. Practical and stoic, kenku are the merchants, miners, the farmers, the infantry, the craftspeople, and the labourers for the ikari. Minos Minos Traits Ability Score Increase.

Males and females gather personal harems, holding them as long as they are able, with a Herd Master leading the collective harems that is typically male but can be female. Leadership changes frequently, most challenges being nonlethal. Outlook Minosi are known for bravery, stubbornness, volatility, and slow wits. They tend to punch first and think later. They have little patience for intellectual pursuits and no tolerance for physical weakness using their size and strength to jockey continually for position within their herds. Order bores them. They prefer the excitement of a forest fire or a battle and have a reputation for stirring up unnecessary trouble. Easily provoked, most other races avoid them unless looking for a fight. They fiercely protect their ranges and rarely back down from a fight. Constantly hungry, they spend most of their time hunting, brawling, mating, or building their strength. They make little that isn’t a weapon or armour. Drawn by challenges, minosi rarely back down and never pick on the weak seeing no challenge in it. Their sole law is to protect the herd, otherwise might makes right although fights are rarely deadly. Society The most primitive of the faerie races, internal strife is a near constant with fights and intimidation the norm. The strongest rule and the weak are shoved aside. They live in ever shifting herds without pair bonds, the children are raised communally. Due to the hostile environments in which their Holds are located, a minos hold is ¾ filled with solid earth and stone through which run miles of labyrinthine tunnels roamed continually by the herd. The upper ¼ is a flat grassy plain where the minos gather herd animals that they allow to roam freely and hunt at leisure. When necessary they conduct raids on other races to replenish their herds.

Triton Tritons are the faerie parents of the rare Halfling race of Merfolk, who are unable to mate with non-merfolk and tend to live among or near Tritons or in solitude.

Gnomes were created by Oberon and Titania with the intention that they would form the core of the fey civilization. When the Council declared the attempt a failure, Oberon teamed up with Titannia’s rival KI to create the elves using gnomes as a prototype for faerie. When Oberon made KI the Fairy Queen, Titania enslaved the gnomes out of jealousy, bitterness and spite, torturing and twisting them to suit her purposes. Some gnomes managed to escape and eventually a resistance grew into a rebellion with gnome fighting gnome. Gaining their freedom, most gnomes settled in the Tors of Autumn in their hidden Wonderland while others migrated to the Material Plane. Gnomes are relatively rare on Aldyryc, being natives of Rivendell, capital of Wonderland among the Painted Highlands of the Faerie Tors of Autumn, but some have formed small outpost settlements in the Mortal Sphere or were among migrations made prior to the Age of the Faerie and during the Age of the Fallen. The highest concentration of their hidden surface settlements is found in the Fey Mountains which most gnome adventures at least pass through on the way from the Faerie Realms. The highest surface population concentration is in Gyyrdn. Larger groups of past immigrants are found in the Underworld. Outside of the Dark North, most races view gnomes with tolerance, curiosity, or amusement. They are vermin in the Dark North. Halfling Halfling is a common term for those of mixed racial heritage, always part human. Humans have a reputation for mating with just about anything. Depending on the race and location, they are viewed as anything from exotic curiosities to monstrous abominations. Half-Elf Half-Elf Traits Ability Score Increase.

Their culture is based on the Hunt, gaining the highest status and best mates by killing the toughest prey and returning home with the most numerous and impressive trophies to impress potential mates. There are two classes in Rhokargan society, Headhunters (Fighter) and Headshrinkers (Mystics). Headhunters paint their faces while Hunting and headshrinkers wear demonic masks. Only Headshrinkers, children, pregnant females, and the infirm remain in their cavern homes while the rest roam nearly continually searching for food, prey, and slaves. A Hunt is usually solitary ending by reforming groups of up to twenty that frequently divide as they roam and Hunt. Rhokargans are fearless, hard to kill and typically savage and brutal although they are skilled hunters and prey often don’t realize their danger until it is too late. They prefer taking the toughest prey on openly, respecting prowess, strength, and toughness Rhokargan blood is a thick red gel. Human Human Traits Ability Score Increase.

If the same bonus comes from different cultures the modifiers are cumulative. If one of the parents is of a Special Ethnicity or the parents are of different Special Ethnicities, the child is considered of standard but mixed ethnicity and gets no special adjustments except for the access to the ethnic Skill modifiers of the parents as is standard for mixed heritage. * Special Ethnicity (see section below) Mark of the Beast Human characters have a 2% (01 or 00) and most Halflings a 1% (00) upon creation of bearing the Mark of the Beast, a tiny to large birthmark of four thin red lines like the scars left by a claws. No one on Aldyryc knows its meaning or source and few know of its power. Most that bear it go to the grave without ever activating it. Those who have experienced their power have become legends, thought to be demigods or otherwise blessed/cursed, that left tails through history of blood, tyranny, megalomania, and unpleasant endings. Harvesters can harvest the spiritual qi of any anthropoid they slay. This destroys the spirit, flooding the harvester with memories and qi. The harvester is immediately award full experience for the victim’s CR and experiences any increase in level immediately. The harvester also gains 1 Life Point which may be spent as a bonus action to duplicate all the effects of a long rest or to reverse the character’s age to the same relative position in the Age category immediately younger. Being reduced to 0 or fewer hit points triggers the spending of 1 Life Point as a reaction, giving the immediate benefits of a long rest. If the harvester is instantly slain or fails three Death saves, 1 Life Point is spent as a reaction that duplicates the effects of a Revivify spell. Age reversal occurs as a reaction to reaching the character maximum age limit. Harvesters begin unable to control their ability, possibly harvesting every time they lethally drop a suitable opponent to 0 hit points. The harvester must make a Death save, a failure indicating a harvest. The victim gets a Willpower save at DC10+Harvester HD to resist. If the harvester intentionally tries to control the ability, they must make a successful Death save to avoid its activation, three cumulative successes granting complete control. The rush experienced by the harvester from harvesting gives them the Incapacitated condition for 1 round plus 1 round per CR if they fail a Willpower save at DC10+CR of victim. Success drops this to 2 rounds and critical success to 1 round. A critical failure the Stunned condition replaces Incapacitated. A harvester who harvests another harvester gains their Life Points in addition to normal harvest benefit but this grants disadvantage to the save. Before control is established, it takes a successful Death save to intentionally spend a Life Point. Harvested victims have no spirit for Raise Dead or Resurrection to call back (see Adventuring: Returning from Oblivion). Psychic Ability Psychic ability is gained by taking the Psychic feat available to Humans and Halflings, or upon character creation by rolling 1d20 and getting a 1 or a 20 for a Human, 20 for most Halflings. The psychic rolls 1d4-1 (minimum 1) for how many d20 rolls they get on the Psychic Ability chart below. Each roll result grants 1 use of the indicated spell as spell-like ability based on Willpower and HD, with each duplicate result adding 1 use of that ability. Once an ability’s uses are expended, a 6 on d6 recharges one use. A short rest restores 1 use of all abilities possessed. Wielding a psychic ability requires a Psionic Check at DC15+spell level with Willpower bonus, adjusted as follows by psychic HD: 1-4 (non-proficient with disadvantage); 5-8 (non-proficient); 9-12HD (proficient); 13-16 (advantage); 17+ (no check required). A critical success triggers the spell without expending the use. Failure doesn’t expend a use, but a critical failure expends the use and inflicts 1 point of Exhaustion.
- 35. 33 Once all usesfor a Psychic Ability are expended it is possible to pay a cost in points of Exhaustion for an additional use and doing so until reaching a total of 6. A psychic can expend extra uses of the ability, as well as pay the appropriate Exhaustion cost, to boost the effect level of the ability by 1 step if that spell has increased effects for higher slot levels. Abilities may be boosted as far as uses and Exhaustion allow. All abilities are used at their basic spell slot level.

They have double the normal human range of vision in conditions of dim light, half in bright, and Immunity to Cold but Vulnerability to Fire. Severe albinos accustomed to darkness, they gain advantage on all checks attacks and saves in darkness and disadvantage in bright light. They are allergic to direct sunlight requiring Constitution saves at DC 20 upon first exposure and every minute thereafter to avoid being Poisoned by skin exposure and Blinded. A save is required for each condition, a long rest removing them except in the case of a critical failure which makes the condition permanent until removed by a Restoration. Gaels get Echolocation as a bonus feat and Dark Speech as a starting language instead of Iantic. Gaels may choose only Outlander raider as a background option. Instead of the Lucky and Skilled feats Gaels get Tough and Savage Attacker feats at 1HD. Gorns are all inducted into the military as youth cadets and must spend five years in the military upon graduation as adults, serving one year each in the infantry, cavalry, navy, air force, and intelligence service. Thus, all Gorns must choose the Soldier background option and instead of getting Lucky and Skilled at 1HD all get Weapons Master and Tavern Brawler. In addition to land vehicles, they are proficient with ships and air craft. A mixture resulting from repeated conquering by the Kaldarians, Caltics, Ganins, and raiders from Wyr, Caenyrvyn, and Kalvaala, Gor established itself through revolution and fortified itself against ever being conquered again. Gorns are suspicious of outsiders and skillful at concealing their emotions and intentions. Outsiders are constantly watched and reported upon. While Kaldarians lie to work within their society, Gorns rarely reveal what they are really thinking to non-Gorns and are masters at misdirection and blending in. Honourable for the most part, they reserve deception for the proper time and place to preserve its effectiveness. Unlike Kaldarians, who tend to exaggerate and embellish out of habit. Because of their Intelligence Service training, all Gorns have the Actor feat as a bonus feat at 1HD. Kordeshi have a purple tint to their skin due to a pervasive chemical in their diet that protects most life native to the Far South. They get Resistance to Fire and Lightning but Vulnerability to Cold. Accustomed to nearly constant daylight, they see half the normal human range in conditions of dim light. Like the Numallean civilization, fascination with magic and its use has permeated the culture. At 1HD, instead of Skilled, Kordeshi get Keen Mind and instead of Lucky they get Childhood Tricks which grants the Magic Initiate feat with the cantrips Prestidigitation and Mage Hand plus the spell Detect Magic. Numakki were driven from their homeland when the Drake War destroyed the Numallean Empire. A few settled in the Aldwynn Islands but most wander alone, in families or family groups and making their way as tinkers, traders, entertainers, charlatans, and whatever they can. They are part of no other society, mistrusted by many, and always on the fringes. Because they have no nation behind them, they are the most commonly enslaved ethnicity, the largest number of free Numakki living in their settlements in the Aldwynn Islands. Except for the fortunate few who have been accepted or have skill too valuable to discriminate against, most Numakki living outside the Islands are known by the derogatory term “gypsy” first coined by Tarki Rovers to distinguish themselves from the outcasts. Before its destruction Numallean civilization had become permeated by magic use, fascination, and knowledge. Everyone practiced a little Juju for practical purposes. This means that instead of a Lucky feat at 1HD, all Numakki get Magic Initiate with the cantrips Prestidigitation and Druid craft plus the spell Hex. In addition to Skilled they get Observant as a bonus feat at 1HD but all interaction rolls for first
- 36. 34 impression made forNPCs of other ethnicities are made at disadvantage and Numakki have disadvantage when using Persuasion on them. Rapa Nui are descendants of the Polynesian people of the same name, so skilled at navigation that they gain Keen Mind as a bonus feat at 1HD instead of Skilled but so isolated from other humans that they tend to be more primitively educated, insecure about their knowledge, less exposed to information, and more reliant on intuition than other ethnicities. This gives them disadvantage on all Intelligence checks done without proficiency except for Nature. However, their culture grants them such in-depth navigational knowledge and skill that they get Expertise in Vehicles (water) which of course grants them the effects of proficiency even if they don’t take the sailor background. If they do they get double the proficiency modifier. Legends say that the Rapa Nui have sailed their out-riggers across the Daikaiju to the Edge of the World Mountains and colonized some of the islands found along the way. If true, no contact has been had with them in centuries. They worship Poseidon and the great stone heads that line the Gull Coast. Some say their ancestors made them to worship and others say they are massive stone golem sentinels waiting to respond to a dragonnethi invasion since before the Fall. Thün are a violent combination of Scandinavian Viking tribes who fight from the time they can walk. They can choose either the Outlander raider or the Sailor pirate background. Instead of the Skilled and Lucky feats, Thün get Athlete, Tough, and Tavern Brawler as bonus feats at 1HD as well as Skulker without needing the prerequisite from dwelling so much of the time in darkness. Dark Speech replaces Iantic as one of their automatic starting languages. Superstitious and fearful of magic, all dreamweavers are treated as having Passive Intimidation that requires a check by the Thün upon first meeting and every time magic is cast by the dreamweaver. Odin and Thor are the only gods they respect, leaders holding power through prowess, strength, and intimidation. Only those unfit for battle do anything else. Each settlement has a thane who pays tribute to the king. Native-born Thün are never magicians, but may reluctantly accept the stigma of other dreamweaver classes if the talent emerges. Such individuals are often forced to live as hermits. Most Thün are berserker or champion Fighters. Thurls are descendants of Thurl Olafssen identical twin son of Olaf Redmane King of Thunder Island. Thurls still cling to piracy, being skillful fishers, sailors and raiders, but less brutal and savage and ferocious than their Thün cousins. Thurls get Tough instead of Skilled and Tavern Brawler instead of Lucky. Their only background option is Sailor with fishing, cartography, or piracy the focus. They have Keen Mind as a bonus feat at 1HD due to experience navigating. Tollex are descendants of the Aztecs dominated by dragons they worship as gods. Advanced astrologers they have no magicians or access to any and are cut off from the rest of humanity. Thus they replace Iantic with Dragonnethik and cannot take the Acolyte background option. They get disadvantage on History and geography other than their own, but advantage on knowledge regarding astrology or dragonnethi. They believe they are the only humans in the world. Valympuri are the most cosmopolitan of cultures but also adhere to a strict caste system making them somewhat passive in temperament. They get Linguist instead of Lucky, advantage on History checks and disadvantage on Intimidation checks. Varls are descendants of Varl Olafssen, identical twin son of Olaf Redmane, King of Thunder Island. Unlike the people who followed his more aggressive brother Thurl, Varls turned away from piracy and raiding, for the most part, to focus on whaling, fishing and trade. Like Thüns and Thurls, Varls are raised to fight but generally only in defence, and often against Thüns or Thurls. Instead of Skilled and Lucky, they get Athlete and Tough. They have Keen mind feat as a bonus at 1HD due to navigation experience but must take the Sailor background with fishing, whaling, cartography, or piracy as their focus.

They communicate using colours, textures, body language, and sound having adapted the language of the dragonneth to their purposes. Aloof, reclusive, contemplative, and curious as to the nature of existence, they tend to get along and trade with tritons while avoiding sirens and sahuagin. However, they can be cunning adversaries and skilled assassins as well, often using their skills to rescue slaves from the sirens and pass on to the tritons to return home. They live in natural caves and those they construct from rocks and coral. They can be Magicians, Monks, Mystics, or Rogues.

Specialists choose one Craft as their Neglected Craft, most commonly Priestcraft or Druidic Lore due to their restrictions. As the most basic of the Crafts, Magecraft is the first one that magicians learn and the least common Neglected Craft. A magician must choose their Craft Tradition at 1st level.

The empathic ethical alignment of a magician’s psyche determines their Native Art. Spells whose Art depends on the empathic alignment of an associated god, the caster, the target, the intention, or other situational factors, are Variable Art spells and always treated as a Native Art. Artistic Expression enables magicians to unleash the energy of spell slots and empathically deliver it through touch as healing or force damage. The Black Art expresses converted spell slots as 1d6 points of force per slot level expended plus Spell Attack bonus. The White Art expresses 1d6 points of healing per slot level plus Spell Attack bonus, and the Grey Art can express 1d6 per slot level of either as desired without any bonus applied. Artistic Expression can expend as many slot levels as desired at once up to the total currently possessed by the character. Nights of Power The Night of Light occurs when the white Maiden face of Isis, the moon, enters the constellation of the Pentagram, the Night of Shadows when the grey Matron enters the Hexagram and the Night of Darkness when the black Crone enters the Inverted Pentagram, each perfectly framed in the centre during the Witching Hour from midnight to one. From moonrise to moonset, all magicians of the Art treat magical damage dice results of 1 as 2 and gain an inspiration pool similar to a equal to +1 per level plus Intelligence modifier that may be applied to any roll involving magic in any amount up to the total, which resets at midnight with any remaining points lost at moonset. From Midnight to one, the Witching Hour causes all spells of the Art’s magicians to be cast one slot level higher than that used with all saves against them made at disadvantage. Ordination To qualify for Priestcraft spells, the magician must be within one alignment step of the relevant Power; Druidic Lore spells require partial Neutrality. Then the magician must be ordained by a priest of at least 12th level of the appropriate god or by a druid. The lower order of Priestcraft is Deacon and Ecomancer for Druidic Lore. Those ordained in Druidic Lore get Commune with Nature as a Bonus 0 level spell; those ordained in Priestcraft get Commune as a Bonus 0 level spell. Both ordinations require covenants with their sources, the god of a Religious Order and the Druidic Order. Those
- 50. 48 ordained to theDruidic Order are taught the secret language of druids and wear a torc escribed with the Four Expression of the Calculus that costs the same as a holy symbol and acts as a focus but they don’t use mistletoe or have sacred groves. Priesthood Covenants and Occult Pacts require a sacred text, a class text that codifies the agreement and is used during its renewal. Divine Intervention Divine Intervention follow 5E rules for Cleric except for the result being the response, “Ask and receive,” indicating the willingness of the Power to use their Miraculum ability in relation to their Incarnated Concepts and Forms. The Power will use as little of the spell’s potential power as required. If great power is required, the deity may require the covenanter to sacrifice something of value or pay part or all of the normal cost of a Miraculum, even though the deity doesn’t pay such a cost. Enclaves The lands of Lantana, Maldarvia, and Tandros, are Artistic Enclaves established during the Dream War. Only magicians of the Orders, respectively White, Black, or Grey, can enter and dwell within these isolated valleys ruled totally by the three Artistic Orders. It is death for anyone else to try. Familiars If a magician so chooses they may obtain a familiar bonded with them spiritually either from their covenant Power, if one is offered, or by casting Create Homunculus as a spell or a ritual. Convents provide the ability to summon a familiar upon the attainment of 5th level. Because only a few gods offer living familiars, the constructed homunculus is the standard choice. All covenant familiars grant the following benefits: Magic gains familiar’s physical sensory abilities Magician gains an ability score adjustment or an ability specific to the familiar Magician and familiar share all their Ability Score saves, using whichever bonus is the highest for each Magician can experience at-will what the familiar senses as per the warlock’s Eldritch Invocation called Gaze of Two Minds The familiar enjoys the following benefits: +2 hit points per magician level Magician can use an Interaction to spend rest HD to heal familiar through their link Intelligence adjusted by magician’s proficiency bonus. Durable feat Shares in any magical protections possessed by or cast upon the magician If a familiar is slain the magician loses all benefits and suffers 2d10 points of Constitution damage with a Constitution save for half at DC14+1/HD of familiar. At 0 the magician starts dying. A long rest restores 1d6 points inflicted in this manner. Power Familiar Benefit Apollo Dove +2 Charisma Athena Owl +2 Wisdom Horus Hawk Advantage on Perception checks Kali-Set Black Adder Resistance to Poison Pazuzu Rat +2 Constitution Rawna Raven +2 Intelligence Satanael Imp Resistance to B/P/S unless magical Xoll’X Spider +2 Strength Sorcery Sorcerers are proto-magicians, practitioners of a single Tradition with no Art expression but still requiring a casting check for spells of other Arts, as well as treating all other Crafts as Neglected with triple normal cost for adding them to scroll collections. There were no Wizards and sorcerers didn’t get Trackless Step. Mystic Mystics are 5E Sorcerers who substitute Pathfinder Bloodlines and their abilities for Origins, Wisdom for their casting score and Wisdom proficiency for their Constitution save. Only dragonneth mystics use the draconic origin from 5E, both Origin and Bloodline banned to all other races. Spells: As with magicians, mystic gains one 10th level spell slot at 19th level, retaining it at 20th . Miraculum is the sole 10th level spell. Altered State of Consciousness: While a mystic is concentrating on an active spell their mind is in an altered state more attuned to their Key that gives them Advantage on Wisdom and Charisma saves but Disadvantage on their Perception and Investigation checks until they break concentration. Inner Resonance: Mystics channel the energy of the planes and do not require standard crystal
- 51. 49 Material components, justthose named within the spell. Key Sensitivity: At 4th level a mystic can sense others attuned the Keys, both mystics and those from those planes. This functions life a constant Detect Magic that detects the presence of anyone attuned to a Key within 10’/mystic level. As with Detect Magic, further concentration reveals greater information, first identifying the Key and then entity type and strength according to mystic level or entity HD. Planar Medium: At 5th level mystics are able to use Contact Other Plane to reach their Keyed Plane, restored by a long rest. Mystical Trip: At 13th level a mystic is able to Plane Shift as the spell to their Keyed Plane or back to their native plane once before requiring a long rest for restoration. Nirvana: When a mystic reaches 17th level, they achieve such oneness with their Key that the DCs for their spell saves are all made at Disadvantage. The mystic is considered a native of the Keyed Plane for purposes of Banishment (etc.) from it and both Mystical Trip and Planar Medium become restored by a short rest. The Southeastern Arm land of Shangri-La, also known as the Valley of Mysteries is known as a Mystical version of the Magician Sanctuaries, but is shrouded in secrets and rumored to have a fearsome immortal ruler. Paladin Enforcer Lawful Evil paladins, Enforcers take the Oath of Vengeance or the Oath of Conquest as written in their class text, Mordred’s “Will to Power”. Abjure Enemy gives angels and Good entities from other planes Disadvantage on the save, their Avenging Angel has black wings and horns, and their Lay on Hands inflicts wounds rather than healing, their Divine Smite does Necrotic damage with increased damage to angels and Good planar entities. Their spells Inflict, Bestow and Cause rather than Cure and Remove and are oriented against Good rather than Evil. Mordred sneered at Sirsyr’s “bleeding-heart philosophy” and wrote his text in response as an argument against even considering mercy for Chaos and thus abandoning the concept altogether, along with other considerations he thought tied the hands of enforcers of the law in their fight against the true evil of disorder, chaos being the only evil and mercy a slippery slope of weakness into its maw. Seeking the equivalent power to the foe, he weaponized his connections with Good, Light, and Life, by reversing his orientation toward Darkness, Death, and Evil. Equestrian (Lancer) The original paladins, elven equestrians, known as Lancers, take the Oath of the Ancients as written in their class text, Charlimayn’s “The Radiant Hart”. Using Mielikki’s “The Wild Hunt”, the mist elf ranger explored his connection between the Hart Key and the Form of War and discovered that he could also attune himself to the Form of Light as well as the Formal Aspects of Reinforcing Order and Forgiving Good. All lancers get Mounted Combatant as a bonus feat at 3rd level. Instead of being able to use their Channel Divinity to Turn the Faithless they can summon a Faerie Mount which comes in the form of a pegasus for Mist Lancers or a unicorn for Forest Lancers. The Faerie Mount and the lancer have a telepathic link with a range of 1mile per Level of the Lancer. The mount will only allow the lancer to ride it and remains shy around others without the lancers, typically staying hidden. If the mount is slain another may not be summoned until the lancer gains a level. They use the Paladin spell list. Only mist elves and forest elves may be lancers and only of the appropriate type. Sea elves come from feral and mist elf blood enabling them to be either type as is the case with halflings with forest, mist, or sea elf blood. Exemplar Exemplars take the Oath of Devotion as written in their class text, Sirsyr’s “True Light”. Sirsyr was trained in his divine paladin abilities by a crystal bastardsword, Qaldon the Holy Avenger. While camped on the shore of Lake Avalon with the Mist Lancer Lancylot and half- elf ranger Gwenhwyfar, Sirsyr mined the paladin traditions to adapt the Oath of the Ancients for all races, creating the Oath of Devotion and the Oath of Redemption. He swore Devotion to Athena by the power of Qaldon, standing on the shore of the Lake. This brought Vivienne, a priest of Ptah and Hart mystic known as the Lady of the Lake, from her home on the Isle of Avalon, with the product of one of her visions, Excalibur the Sword of Truth. Giving it to him, she declared him First Paladin. Sirsyr then codified the Oath and his spellcasting techniques in the manner of a Covenant sacred text, making it the exemplar class text. Ranger Rangers are unchanged except for being mystical paragons who require the class text “The Wild Hunt” written by Mielikki the forest elf fight scout who became the 1st ranger. A paragon of War, she used
- 52. 50 mysticism to attuneto the Wonder and in so doing was able to use both Form and Key to craft a selection of spells which she codified in the Wild Hunt. Warlock There is no Warlock class. Occult pacts are priesthood covenants with the Parasitic Powers called the Elites (Hellspawn Nobility and Pit Fiends). Illuminati and witches have access to Book of Shadows from the warlock Tome Pact as well as the Eldritch Invocation option Book of Ancient Secrets. On Aldyryc, warlock is the professional designation of a battle-trained dreamweavers, normally a conjurer of the Black Order although anyone with a good selection of damaging spells and the required feats who is employed by a martial force may legitimately claim the title. An apprentice warlock must possess at least one of the following feats while an adept requires at least two, at least three for a master, and at least four to be an archmaster warlock. Mage Slayer Martial Adept Spell Sniper Tough War Caster Weapon Master All members of the Cerulean Order are lawful warlocks. Witch Not actually a separate class, a witch is a possessor of Witchcraft, a bonus feat that gives a spell-caster the abilities of the Warlock of Pact of the Tome and the Book of Ancient Secrets Eldritch Invocation, along with all the Origin benefits of a Wild Magic sorcerer, and the ability to add as many sorcerous metamagic selections as desired at once to the spells they can already cast. There is a risk of a Wild Surge equal the spell’s level multiplied by the number of metamagic added, rolled on a d20, with no maximum but an automatic Surge at 20 or higher. Each surge carries a risk of 1 step of Madness avoided by a Constitution save at a DC of 11 plus the spell’s level, with a critical failure inducing 2 steps. Witchcraft is gained by performing the Grimoire Creation ritual for the Witch’s Grimoire, Necronomicon, and performing its ritual. Reading the ritual takes two hours with a DC25 Constitution save at the end to avoid 2 steps of Madness as above, with a critical failure inflicting 3 steps. Once read it can be performed over eight hours using 1000gp of rare and exotic materials. This involves creating a familiar animal of any type by building its ability scores with points deducted from the witch’s scores and its hit point maximum from the witch’s. This takes the form of damage that heals at 1 point per day for abilities and at the normal rate for hit points until one point below normal. This point remains to link the familiar and witch, allow the familiar to channel wild ley energy to the witch with minimal danger. The destruction of the familiar returns all but 1 permanently lost Constitution point to the witch and requires a DC25 Charisma save to prevent 1 step of Madness. A familiar may be reformed by changing its scores, each change requiring the donation of a point, whether up or down. If dismissed completely by the witch all six points are returned. A new one may then be created. Familiar’s a normal animals of the type created though they share any magical or class ability protections possessed by their master. They are telepathically linked within a 5 mile radius and the master can experience what the familiar’s senses. The master can also heal the familiar by donating hit points through their link or draw hit points from it, but if it falls to 0 it is destroyed. Familiar and master can always tell where each other are, unless telepathy is blocked in some manner. Each time a spell is cast with witchcraft roll d20 a wild surge occurring on a 1 per spell slot level plus 2 per metamagic effect applied. So a 2nd level spell with 2 metamagic surges on a result of 1 to 6 on d20.

The Arcanum’s Cerulean Guard act swiftly upon hearing rumors of a witch and do not relent. Warriors Barbarian There is no Barbarian class on Aldyryc. Berserker is a martial archetype for the 5th edition Fighter created with Barbarian abilities. The closest thing to a 5E Barbarian is a Berserker with the Tough feat and the Wilderness Warrior Outlander background option. A barbarian like Conan would also possess a few levels of Rogue. Fighter (Myrmidon) There are four martial archetypes for fighters: Berserker, Battle Master, Champion, and Dreamwarrior (Eldritch Knight) Berserker (Warrior of the Eye) The Berserker Martial Archetype has the following abilities: 4th level = Odin’s Eye Training: Rage (as Barbarian but requiring Wisdom save DC 21 – (number rounds spent ranging [DC12 to DC20] to end willingly and must continue attacking until it does) plus Unarmored Defense. 7 th level = Wild Abandon*: Feral Instinct plus Fast Movement and Reckless Attack 10 th level = Ferocity*: Relentless Rage plus Brutal Critical (1 dice, 2 dice at 14 th , 3 dice at 18 th ) 15 th level = Persistent Rage (with complete control) 18 th level = Indomitable Might * Available only while raging. Also known as Rage Warriors in some languages, the first expert warriors were Berserkers, trained to undergo an intense ritual to control their adrenaline flow in order to summon and end powerful rages. Titans first discovered the Odin’s Eye mushroom, named for its circular red cap with central black dot, around the time giants discovered fermentation and brewing. Accidentally brewed into beer, the mushroom unleashed a flood of adrenaline creating a raging juggernaut. Odin’s Eye creates the effects of a Rage spell, but fully equal to the Barbarian ability, combined with the effects of Confusion spell for 1d6 hours, followed by fatigue for twice as long unless a new dose is taken. Taking more than one dose at time or overlapping doses causes an immediate eight hours of unconsciousness and 24 hours of fatigue. First called Warriors of the Eye, young titans would go into isolation, alone or with a master, to “Stare-Down the Eye”, taking only Eye Mead as sustenance beyond forage and fresh game. The titan had to maintain the Rage except when unconscious from exhaustion for as many days or weeks as it took to master the Confusion with three successful Will saves before three failures with one check per dose. Three failures reset the count. Once this occurred, the titan needed to make one more Will save once per hour, success ending the Rage. Brains condition and glands trained, they were now safe to return to their people as apprentices working to become masters able to end the rage without a Wisdom save DC 11+number of rounds left in rage, [DC12 to DC20] to end willingly. Considered sacred and connected directly to Odin, at first only titans were worthy of the Eye but as their struggle to establish a civilization became desperate, use spread throughout the giant sub-races, dooming them to failure. Instead of displacing the dragonnethi, giant infighting became rampant and the
- 54. 52 sub-races disintegrated intofamily groups and small tribes, never rising further as a civilization. So the Orcs were created with a military society and strict discipline. Only bugbears could Stare-Down the Eye. These were the first to be called Berserkers. Their civilization rose and spread to become the second more successful in the history of Aldyryc. When humans came to the Dark North of Aldyryc, they learned of the Eye from giants and orcs and became the third race to Stare-Down the Eye. The phrase “seeing red” comes from the red eyes of human berserkers. Only giants, orcs, humans, and related halflings, achieve a positive effect from Odin’s Eye. Pündi are knocked unconscious for eight hours and left fatigued the following 24 hours by the adrenaline overload. Faerie and Fey suffer dizziness and cramping making them nauseated for one full metabolic cycle. Dragonnethi are unaffected by the Eye as well as alcohol, Visionleaf, Brewed Twilight, and Blitzkrieg. Monk (Defender of the Faith) Monks must be Lawful. Generally considered clergy but unchanged from 5E rules, the first monks were Xondra priests who retreated to monasteries to concentrate and develop their studies, training, and practice, for the purpose of physically defending the priesthood and temples without reliance on paid fighters. Now, most religions that allow Lawful priests also have monks. In Harkindia’s Southeastern Arm lands of Konimbra, Kaankura, Lamzara, and the Empire of Zur, there are non-religious monasteries dedicated to the study, practice, and perfecting of the martial arts. Because monks of many religions, and none, gather in these places the monastic traditions were developed and then spread from these lands. Non-religious monasteries remain rare beyond. Rogue (Streetfighter) A rogue can be of any alignment, depending on the path they take. Lawful ones make good bounty-hunters, detectives, security experts, thief-catchers, assassins, or spies, for example, but poor thieves. Rogues are unchanged from 5E rules, except for the existence of Xen Assassins, monks of Xondra who multiclass as assassins. Families of these Xen assassins formed in the Empire of Zur and called themselves ninja clans, known for extreme discipline, skill, and scrupulously honouring their contracts. Highly secretive about their existence and identities they do adopt outsiders, but no one gets out alive. It is considered dishonourable heresy and family betrayal.

The base duration of all conditions is also equal to this roll. Due to the god’s suppression of certain technologies, adding sticks together doesn’t have as much effect as it should. Two sticks set off together adds their effects as expected but for every two added to this +1 is to added to each type of damage as well as the save DC. Once reaching +10, any additional sticks fail to detonate. If someone carrying nova sticks critically fails a save against fire damage all the fuses are ignited, each with a countdown of 1d10-1 rounds. It takes and action to put out a fuse by hand, an interaction by immersion in water. If it gets wet or is more than 3 years old, it has a 1 in 20 chance of exploding every time it experiences jostling (such as its carrier being hit by an attack) of exploding. It is an Alchemical check at DC20 to make a nova stick with a critical failure resulting in it exploding in hand for Disadvantage on the save and a roll of 2d6 to apply to damage and duration. Pündi Poison Injected; 70gp from Pündi only per dose for ten needles or 1 blade; DC14; 2d4 hours of deep sleep that cannot be interrupted without magic. Transportation Air Ship Cost x5 from Humans only, a ship equipped with a balloon deigned by a goblin and a flat bottom with cargo hatch and ramp that leak in water. Balloon and the ship are each bonded with an air elemental of Large or grater size as appropriate, controlled independently or in unison with mounted control stones. Together, the elementals can move the ship at a speed equal to an elemental’s full flying speed plus the sailing speed of the ship when the wind cooperates and add their Dexterity modifier to the ship’s AC. Air ships are largely national military vehicles and thus Cost X10 for non- military or other nations and need to be discovered or stolen by other races for building at Cost x20 until they become ubiquitous then all fall to Cost x5, but are always +2000gp for control stones instead of attuning. Goblin Balloon: also known as a Cidboat, the original air ship created by the goblin Cidark, known as Cid, who flew it to the humans during the Century War after being rejected by his own people. Known for his love of expensive, flashy, gaudy, clothing, broad-rimmed felt hat with peacock feather, his arrival instituted the era of large scale aerial combat and travel. Costing 6000gp, the basic Cidboat is supported by a balloon, holds two Medium-sized passengers, and is powered by two Small elementals. The four person version costs 8000gp and powered by Medium elementals, with control stones costing +2000gp. Flying Carpet 2 person Cost 2000gp, 4 person 4000gp, +1000gp for control stone; Animated by Air Elemental Mithral armoured: Cost 20,000gp or 40,000gp, AC14 + DEX (max 3), Resistance to Fire. Sea Elf Ship Not for sale, constructed normally if sleeker than normal, but main mast is a Feywood branch taken root in the wood of the ship. Becoming alive, the wood grows together, nails pop out, and holes heal. Linked to the Sea Elf Hold of its origin as well as those adults connected to it, touching the main mast near deck level enables telepathic communication with all, at any distance within the Mortal Sphere. Then the ship is bonded with a Large to Gargantuan Water Elemental, as appropriate, big enough to move it at half the Elemental’s Swim Speed of 90’in the doldrums and to add the entire amount to the ship’s speed when the wind is blowing. Half of the Elemental’s hit point maximum is added to the ship and the ship’s AC increases by +4 (+2 DEX, +2 from natural armor). The Elemental can use the ship to attack with its full attack bonus, Strength included. Sea elves recover or destroy any stolen ship at all costs. The water content in the wood gives it Resistance to Fire and the ship can rest in order to heal, using the elemental’s HD for short rests. Onboard communication is telepathic between crew members and with the ship as long as in contact with the wood.
- 58. 56 Node Station Morgana LeFey created the Grand Node Station as part of her plan to use it, the new shield system, and the new Kaldarian armoured carpet force, to conquer Ahkracia in one night. It worked so well that when she offered to build them for other national capitals for a steep profit, they fought over the chance. A node station has a huge central circular domed building surrounded by numerous smaller ones, all with rooftop power circles. Inside, each of the smaller domes contains a power circle enchanted with a Gate spell target at one or more circles in other node stations, plus several that are used as secure arrival areas for incoming travelers diverted by the shield system. The central building holds defensive structures, administrative facilities and more Gate (wormhole) circles that are not targeted to any other nodes, used for other Material destinations and planes. Activated for the cost of a cantrip, using a targeted Gate circle costs 1000gp per person plus an additional 5% tax on the value of all goods and items carried though the wormhole. This pays for travel only in one direction. Using a non-targeted circle costs twice the targeted amount and carries half the standard Gate spell risk of missing the destination by half the standard distance. Targeting a Telestial Realm is five times the base cost with the normal Gate off-target rules. Targeting the Faerie Realms is ten time the cost. The Celestial Realms may not be targeted. Services Airship Passage Cost: 1gp per mile Carpet Ride Cost Between Towns: 3sp per mile Cost Within City: 1sp Node Travel Cost Per Person: 100gp plus local toll Cost for Cargo: 1000gp plus 10% value plus local taxes Siege Defense Shield System Created by Morgana Le Fey with help from a Kordeshi sunshield expert it consists of a power circle and obelisk built atop every wall tower as well as two in the center, all linked to the much larger one on top of the central dome of the Node Station. Drawing power from multiple sources through every Craft, the circles generate a spherical energy and probability field that warps to fit the shape of the city above and below. The field functions as an Antimagic Field, preventing magic from even being targeted through it and absorbing or dispersing all forms of energy damage, including divine energy, while recycling some for its own use. The field is entropic, draining qi and momentum from anything that tries to fly or fall through it. Creatures must make a DC30 Constitution save or be Stunned and a second one to prevent becoming Exhausted. A natural 1 one either roll renders the creature Unconscious and dying, thus requiring Death saves to stay alive. Stunned creatures keep the condition until they make a successful save. Any attempt to bypass the shield by planar travel, teleportation, dream walking is directed to a secure arrival circle in the Node Station. Attempts to Astral project or come through in incorporeal form are blocked as if by a wall of force. Outbound travel is not affected, nor is that within the city walls. The shield reinforces the walls and towers to give them Resistance to Bludgeoning damage. Hurled missiles such as catapult ammo get Disadvantage on their targets and inflict half damage. Only the physical disabling a power circle can bring down a shield. This has the effect of Dispel Magic cast with no bonus against a 11th level spell. The Wish of a Power can do this from outside the shield, with a bonus to the roll of +1 for a Minor Power, +2 for a Lesser Power, +3 for a Greater, and +4 for an Apex power.
- 59. 57 Combat Amputation and Gangrene Whendestroyed by acid, fire, force, lightning, radiant, or slashing, damage is an extremity severed from the body. Other forms of damage leave the dead extremity attached. Each hour after its demise, the owner must make a Constitution save at DC 15+2 per point of bleed value assigned to the extremity to avoid the onset of gangrene and the Poisoned condition. saves once gangrene sets in are to avoid 1d4 points of Constituion damage, required every hour until amputation or until 0 Constitution triggers Death saves to try and get back to 1 and stabilize until the next gangrene save. Amputation requires 3 points of slashing damage per point of bleed value assigned the extremity and inflicts the bleed value as Constitution damage due to shock and blood loss. If, before cutting, the cutter makes a successful Medicine check against the same DC as gangrene onset, the Constitution damage is reduced by 2 points. Amputations do not cause bleeding damage or infection. Amputation Constituion damage is restored by a long rest and gangrene damage at 1d4/long rest. Bleeding and Infection A bleeding wound continues to bleed until it clots as a result of a successful Constitution save at DC15 + Bleed value multiplied by 2, rolled every minute after receiving the wound. It can be cauterized by applying twice the bleed value to the wound in fire damage, by twice the amount in curative hit points, or by 1 use of a healer’s kit for a Medicine check at the same DC as the clotting DC. Receiving a bleeding wound carries a risk of infection equal to a Constitution save DC calculated the same as the clotting save. If the infection save is unsuccessful the individual gains the Poisoned condition and takes until a Remove Disease is cast upon them or they make the daily save. Every 24 hours after being infected, the creature must make an infection save to remove the condition or take 2d4 points of Constitution damage that rest and medicine can’t restore until the disease is gone. Once the condition is removed, each unconscious long rest restores 1d4 points of Constitution. Each successful Medicine check against the infection save DC allows an unconscious short rest to have the effect of a long one. Critical Rolls Rolling a natural 20 on an attack or damage save is a critical success. Rolling a natural 1 on an attack roll or save is a critical failure. Attack Critical Success: doubles the damage dice and grants a chance of extremity damage equal to a DC25 minus 1 per dice size (4, 6, 8, etc.) with a bonus to the check equal to +1 per dice involved (3 d4 ++3), so 6d6 would have a DC19 with a +6 bonus to the check. Save Critical Success: has the normal effect of halving any damage as well as treating all damage diced rolled as 1s. Attack Critical Failure: the attacker provokes attacks of opportunity from opponents in range with melee weapons and those with prepared ranged attacks who are within half their short-range value or 30’, whichever is shorter. Save Critical Failure: the target takes double damage, doubles the duration, and has Disadvantage on any additional saves to resist or break the effect as well as on any attempts to remove or dispel it. Execution Attacks Declared before rolling, executing an unhampered target requires a standard attack hit that inflicts no damage but grants an execution check at DC15 + 1 per 2HD of target rounded down, with the roll adjusted by the attack’s proficiency modifier. If the weapon is vorpal or a blade of sharpness the check is made with advantage. If the target is larger than the attacker the check has disadvantage, if the attacker is larger their check has advantage. An attacker cannot execute a target more than two sizes larger. Failing the execution check inflicts damage as normal but the attacker loses any further actions for the round and the target gets an attack of opportunity with advantage. Success results in damage plus the triggering of death saves, handled normally but with the target conscious and having advantage until failing the third save. If the target is Restrained the death saves are made normally in addition to the effects of the condition. If the target is Paralyzed or Unconscious, the death saves are made with disadvantage. If the original attack roll is a natural 20
- 60. 58 all death savesoccur immediately within the same round. Non-living creatures are immune to execution attacks, as are those without specific organs such as elementals, oozes, plants, and trolls. Extremity Damage A critical failure on a save against a nova stick explosion at ground zero or a critical hit by a vorpal weapon or blade of sharpness automatically triggers the extremity destruction process. A critical success on an attack roll has a chance of extremity damage equal to a DC25 minus 1 per dice size (4, 6, 8, etc.) with a bonus to the check equal to +1 per dice involved (3d4 =+3), so 6d6 would have a DC19 with a +6 bonus to the check. This check is made with disadvantage if the target is of larger size than the attack. Once triggered, roll 1d20 and consult the table with even numbers indicating the right side and odd the left, the indicated extremity being immediately rendered useless/unconscious, and required to start making Death saves the following round. After three successes, the extremity stops dying and is destroyed/severed unless the damage is Bludgeoning, Cold, Piercing, Poison, or Thunder, in which case it becomes Broken, remaining useless until the condition is removed by magic or by 3d20 long rests. Vorpal weapons get advantage and blades of sharpness disadvantage on the extremity roll. Not even a vorpal weapon is capable of destroying an extremity larger than two size categories beyond its own, inflicting only the bleeding damage in such a case. If the rolled extremity is beyond reach, move the strike to the next closest by number or roll again. Roll Extremity Death save failure Effects Prosthetic 1, 2, 17, 18 Leg 3 = destruction, Bleed 4 points per round Speed a 5’ crawl, disadvantage and no ability bonus to related skills and Dexterity saves. Acrobatics DC25 to stand and crawl. Melee attacks at Disadvantage Peg-leg restores ¼ Speed and returns half of ability bonus. Acrobatics DC20 5, 6, 15, 16 Foot 3 = destruction, Bleed 2 points per round Speed cut in half, disadvantage to related skills and Dexterity saves.

Wooden arm restores ¼ of climb and swim and half of ability bonus plus limited two hand grasp 19 or 20 Head 1 = ear lost, Bleed 1 points per round 2 = eye loss, Bleed 1 points per round 3 = destruction Ear = disadvantage on auditory perception Eye = sight and attack ranges halved with disadvantage on visual perception Head = death Initiative All initiative rolls are made on d20 with ties resulting in actions and results resolved simultaneously and practical turn orders determined by the natural roll. Natural 1 and 20 have no special effects. This assumes that the combatant with the higher bonus is slacking off relative to the one with the higher natural roll.
- 61. 59 Adventuring Anthropoid Reproduction Unlike dragonnethireproduction, which is 100% certain to produce 1d6 offspring during their once an age category mating, the frequent mating of anthropoid races generally doesn’t produce offspring, with the chance dropping as the racial longevity rating rises, with the lower the rating, the higher the chance of multiple offspring. While dragonnethi lay eggs without personal risk, anthropoid birth carries a high risk of death for both mother and offspring, rising if more than two offspring are involved. Gestation length depends on the mother’s race. At the end of the duration labour begins, lasting 3d20 hours, after which the mother must make Birthing checks consisting of 3 normal Death Saves plus 1 per child with the required number of successes and failures for the mother raised accordingly (to 4+). The first failure is harmless. After this each failure kills 1 offspring with the final one killing the mother. Each additional Death Save is made after 1d4 hours for each child, adding to total birthing duration. Every 2 hours after birthing begins the mother must make a Constitution save at DC10+ 1 per 3 hours to avoid gaining 1 point of Exhaustion. 1 Exhaustion point is gained automatically without save every 6 hours. Treatment by the priesthood of Wicca grants advantage on the saves and reduces automatic exhaustion to 1 point every 12 hours. Birthing without treatment by someone proficient in Medicine grants disadvantage and increases automatic exhaustion to every 4 hours. Any offspring remaining after the mother’s death due to Exhaustion must make their own normal Death Saves to survive. A d20 roll determines the success of mating and number of offspring produced. If a 20 is rolled take the result and add it to another d20 and so on as long as 20s are rolled. Longevity Rating Gestation D20 (Offspring) 1-2 270 days 16 (5) to 20 (1) 3-4 540 days 17 (4) to 20 (1) 5-6 810 days 18 (3) to 20 (1) 7-8 1080 days 19 (2) or 20 (1) 9-10 1350 days 20 (1) C.P.R. Requiring full attention and total concentration for a full round, no other action may be taken while applying C.P.R. A dead individual may be revived and stabilized by a DC20 Medicine check made each round with success granting a death save. A critical failure leaves the creature with 3 points of exhaustion upon revival due to cracked ribs. If applied more than 1 round after death, the checks have disadvantage. C.P.R. may be continued until the creature makes three successful death saves and stabilizes with 2 point of exhaustion or until 5 minutes have passed since death, at which point only magic can restore life to the creature. Resuscitation doesn’t cure any conditions or wounds and leaves the treated creature stabilized with 1 hit point. After 1 minute, the resuscitated takes 1 point of Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma due to brain damage, continuing to accumulate 1 point of damage each minute that passes before resuscitation. Death and the Afterlife Except for soulless Dragonnethi, upon death, the spirit leaves the body to dwell in the Spirit World as an ethereal shade. Dragonnethi cannot be affected by Raise Dead or any form of Resurrection having no spirit to bring back. They require a Wish or Miraculum to return them from oblivion (See Retuning from Oblivion). The Ethereal Plane is experiences as a paradise of respite by some shades, a purgatory of contemplation and self-improvement, for others, and to others a prison cell to await judgement cut off from the life and pleasures they crave. The Spirit World Shades of the dead dwell in the Ethereal Plane, able to see into the Material Plane but unable to interact with it. Within 1d100 minutes, they see the pure radiance of the nearest Pearly Gates and irresistibly follow, moving rapidly down a dark tunnel to the Shade Sanctuary containing the Gates. Often the spirit can sense undead and other evil spirit trying to get into the tunnel, but this is not possible. Rawna creates the tunnel and her Reapers guarantee its integrity. Pearly Gates and Shade Sanctuaries There are many Shade Sanctuaries, locations Hallowed to Rawna with a permeant Calm Emotions attached, where shades gather to await passage into the Afterlife, typically an isolate or inaccessible valley, canyon, rift, or grotto, with the radiant energy Pearly Gates in the centre, Hallowed to Anubis, with the Gates acting as a joint altar. Until Anubis opens the Gates at the start of the Witching Hour on the 48th night of each month, the Repulsion effect of the Gate’s Hallow prevents most entities from coming near it. The radiant Gates become a Gate to the Celestial Courts on in Qohlahb on the Karmic Wheel of the Immortal Sphere, the only known way to travel directly there through magic. Unless the shade’s alignment is still in fluctuation, has been put
- 62. 60 into unstable balanceby conflicting lifetime actions, or has committed special action at the end requiring consideration, Anubis pre-approves the shade for release to their appropriate afterlife and immortal form. The Willpower DC for both the Hallow spells and attached effects is 30. Limbo Shades are given three openings of the Pearly Gates to cross over. Up to this limit Raise Dead is effective as long as the race responds and the body is preserved intact. After this limit the shade gets trapped in ethereal Limbo. If no funeral rites were performed on an anthropoid, that spirit must make successful death saves as if dying and succeed to cross over. Spirits may also make a Willpower DC25 to resist the crossing, due to unfinished business, extreme emotion, or a desperate inability to let go of life. Once in Limbo Raise Dead has no effect and a Resurrection or True Resurrection is necessary. Reincarnation Shades that reincarnate do so upon crossing into the Afterlife. Until then, they can be affected by Raise Dead. Once they have reincarnated, Resurrection and True Resurrection have no effect. A Wish or Miraculum is required to bring them back, if willing, from their new form. Raise Dead Raise Dead is effective until a shade has passed into Limbo or the Afterlife, then Resurrection or greater is required. Resurrection As well as acting as Raise Dead, Resurrection will affect those in Limbo, but not those who cross over into the Afterlife or reincarnation. True Resurrection True Resurrection affects all those that lesser spells do but also reaches into the Afterlife to call those willing back to their living forms. This ends their new form, resulting in a sudden death. Haunting Spirits in Limbo at the Witching Hour of the Night of Darkness must make death saves as if dying to avoid Orcus’s gift of chains of dark qi that attach them to the physical world as revenants (1 or 20 on d20) or ghosts (2-19), the undead creature rising from its death site at the end of the Witching Hour. Descending into Madness There are 10 steps: 1. Short-term Madness 2. Long-term Madness 3. Curable indefinite Madness 4. Indefinite Madness requiring Greater Restoration 5. Indefinite requiring Wish 6. Indefinite requiring extraordinary Wish 7. Indefinite incurably set into the spirit 8. 7 + Feebleminded (Intelligence and Charisma at 1) 9. 7 + Catatonic (Paralyzed and all Mental scores at 1) 10. 7 + Brain Dead (all Mental Ability scores at 0 and Dying) Encounter XP Thresholds Because Minosi, Minotaurs, and Rhokargan have far greater maximum hit point capacities than normal they are considered to be 1 level higher than actual when using the XP Thresholds by Character Level table (DMG pg.82 with 20th used for both 19th and 20th level characters. Information Checks Any check that produces knowledge or information about a subject has four main possible outcomes: 1. Critical Success: Highly detailed in-depth, even rare, information gleaned 2. Success: Standard information at a normal level of detail is gleaned 3. Failure: No information gleaned 4. Critical Failure: DM makes a secret Misinformation roll of 1d20, either choosing odd as a positive or negative mistake themselves, or letting the player have a choice, always treating a 20 as a correct guess that lacks any feeling of confidence or truth, and then the provide information accordingly. Intoxication The duration of intoxication and hangover effects continues to count down during short and long rests, including deep sleep. Addictive Compulsion Once addicted, first coming within 60’ of the addiction and every half hour until leaving its presence, each combat initiative roll, or the onset of intense emotion, can trigger an addictive compulsion if the Willpower addiction save is failed, lasting 1d10 minutes before a new save is required if still in range, with advantage if it is out of sight but location known. The compulsion requires the addict to obtain a dose as soon as possible
- 63. 61 within the durationwith a critical failure making the requirement immediate and violent. Alcohol The most commonly consumed drug, alcohol produces 9 levels of intoxication in those not immune to poison or its effects. Each dose (1 standard drink) requires a Constitution save at a DC6 for 1% alcohol in the beverage, DC8 for 2.5%, and DC10 for 5% percent, increased by DC2 for every 5% higher percentage to a maximum of 75%. Below 1% there is no intoxication and beyond 75%s a failed save causes the imbiber to become permanently Blinded, Poisoned until a long rest, gain 2 points of Exhaustion, and take 5d10points of poison damage. A critical failure requires two long rests to remove the Poisoned condition, inflicts 4 points of Exhaustion, and inflicts 10d10points of damage. Dwarven and orc alcohol grants disadvantage to the Constituion save for +50% the equivalent cost while elven alcohol doesn’t cause a hangover but is twice normal cost. A critical failure of an alcohol Constitution save otherwise inflicts 1 point of Exhaustion with a failure granting 1 level of intoxication increased by 1 level for every five points the save is failed by. The intoxication lasts for 2 hours at the same level before dropping one level, repeating every two hours until sober and the hangover begins. Additional effective doses reset the duration of drunkenness as well as increasing intoxication accordingly. Each additional dose save is made with disadvantage. 1 dose for a medium creature equals 2 for a small and 4 for tiny. It takes 4 does to equal 1 for a large creature, 16 for huge, and 64 for gargantuan. Each has an onset time of 6d10 minutes, with half the total subtracted from the remainder upon standing or with DC+2 if imbibed standing. Drinking a dose more than two hours after eating increases the DC+2. Poor quality alcohol requires a successful DC12 Willpower save to swallow with a critical failure making the drinker Poisoned until removed by a short rest and is usually half the listed cost except when it is all that is available. Watered-down beverages are reduced in increments of 5%, then to 2.5%, and then 1%. Once drunkenness is attained it takes a successful Wisdom save at the DC for the strength to keep from drinking more, made once every half hour, a critical failure resulting in a double dose. Once the effects end, a hangover sets in for 1 hour per intoxication level granting the individual the Poisoned condition upon failing a Constituion save at the %DC rolled at the end of the duration. A Charisma save at the same DC must also be made at this time to avoid Addiction that duplicates the effect of Geas spell, inflicting 1d10 points of psychic damage every 3 hours of wakefulness without a dose for 30 days. At this point another Charisma save made be made to break the addiction, otherwise the Geas is renewed. Short-term drunken madness is rolled randomly upon attaining level 6 and each time the duration of a form of madness ends, each period of non-clarity blacking out its memories. A result of 91-95 equals Unconscious and 96-00 indicates a period of clarity with relative self- control, both of which granting advantage to the next form roll. Drunkenness Levels The intoxication effects of alcohol are cumulative except for advantage and disadvantage which replace each other. 1. Advantage on Dexterity and Charisma checks and saves 2. 1 Inspiration Point and +5 temporary hit points but disadvantage on Intelligence and Dexterity checks and saves 3. +5 temporary hit points, advantage on Strength checks and saves, Immune to fear conditions, but disadvantage on Wisdom saves and checks 4. +5 temporary hit points for duration but disadvantage on Charisma checks and saves 5.

Coffee and tea each cost 2cp per cup/dose, eliminating 1 point of Exhaustion and reducing drunkenness by one level for 2 hours after an onset time of 2d10 rounds, with poor quality requiring a DC10 to swallow and 3d10 rounds onset. Taking additional doses at one time or while any are active increases the effects accordingly and requires a Constitution save upon becoming active at DC12+2 per dose beyond 1 in effect to avoid the Poisoned condition induced by nausea and the Frightened condition induced by nervousness, both removed by a short rest that includes the liquid evacuation of the bowels for 2d10 minutes. The Addiction save is DC12 and inflicts irritability that gives all Mental Ability checks and Willpower saves disadvantage until broken. Cannabis Also known as pipe weed, cannabis is the third most commonly used drug. It may be inhaled or ingested with an onset time of 2d6 minutes and duration of 2 hours. The intoxication causes amused relaxation that grants advantage to Wisdom checks and saves but disadvantage to Intelligence ones. If the save is failed by more than 5, the taker is incapacitated for 3 minutes per point below success. Failure by more than 10 induces the effect of Tasha’s Hideous Laughter for 1 minute per point below success followed by being incapacitated for 3 minutes per point. A critical failure doubles the duration of the negative effects and inflicts 1 point of Exhaustion. A short rest removes 2 points of Exhaustion caused in this way, a long rest all. 6 points of Exhaustion result in being rendered Unconscious for a long rest. Once active, cannabis acts as a Calm Emotions spell that also suppresses madness and any conditions inflicted by pain or nausea, while increasing any possessed level of drunkenness by one fir the dose duration. The addiction save DC for cannabis is 6 points lower than the potency DC. Additional doses taken at once or while intoxicated have disadvantage on all saves and reset the intoxication duration. The hangover is 1 point of Exhaustion for 2 hours per dose removed normally. It takes a Wisdom save at the potency DC+2 to resist taking another dose, made every half hour with critical failure creating a desire for a double dose. Addiction inflicts 1d10 points of psychic every metabolic cycle without a dose and inflicts irritability that gives all Mental Ability checks and Willpower saves disadvantage until broken. 84 does weigh one ounce, cannabis being available for cost from herbalists. Potency DC Cost Onset Weak DC9 5cp 3d6 minutes Moderate DC12 1sp 2d6 minutes Strong DC15 5sp 2d4 minutes Intense DC18 1gp 1d4 minutes Extreme DC21 5gp 1d10 rounds Returning From Oblivion If an entity has it spirit destroyed, or its immortal soul, restoration requires a trip to Acheron and a crossing of the Styx to access the Keystone of Reality. The entity may be drawn forth from the record in the Keystone and restored to life using the Keystone’s power, at the cost of the Ferryman’s price. This duplicates the effect of a True Resurrection spell cast on the creature. Torture Torture is Intimidation that goes beyond inflicting mild pain and discomfort for a round or two. Used to break the will of a subject, ideally without killing them, its effectiveness depends largely on time and equipment, as well as the skill of the torturer and resistance of the subject. Torture involving simple tools, devices, used over a long period of time is considered Moderate and has a Breaking DC10 for their Wisdom save, torture considered Severe uses larger more dedicated, complicated, expensive, equipment, and technique over a shorter period and has a Wisdom save DC of 15, while Intense torture has a DC 20 because of its exotic, often immobile, and frequently deadly, equipment and advanced techniques, used over an extremely short period of time. A creature can’t be tortured by something to which it has Resistance. Torture inflicts 1d4 points of Constitution damage per damage period, the exact length of the period and amount of rest permitted between depending on the torture level. For every 2 Constitution points of damage inflicted the wisdom save DC against breaking increases by 1, checked after each application of damage. At 0 Constituion 3 successful Death saves
- 65. 63 are required toreturn to 1 and stabilize. Once the will is broken, the subject falls under the Charmed condition as per Charm Monster, using the torturer’s Intimidation bonus and HD for the purposes of casting bonus, caster level, and spell DC. The torturer may use a Suggestion effect on a broken subject at will, using the Wisdom save DC against breaking with disadvantage. In addition to its normal effects, a critical fail on any of these Wisdom saves allows the torturer to control the subject as per Dominate Monster for 1 round per point of Intimidation bonus, before the Charm or Suggestion effect begins. Those in the priesthood of Lowyatar have Expertise in Intimidation as well as Resistance to will- breaking and torture damage.

Whitehead’s “Process and Reality” as well as quantum and string theory, dreamweaving treats existence as the dream of the Tao, the Void’s spirit of infinite potential, growing increasingly complex as it strives to attain lucidity. The evolution of self-aware, free-willed, complex spirits leads to those who can attain personal measures of lucidity and influence the probabilities of the dream though conscious will and imagination. Qi, life-force of the Tao, powers these changes and can be woven into spells. Gathered qi prevents consumption of the dreamweaver by the change. Dreamweaving Able to influence probability to some degree, all complex minds can dreamweave, their minor alterations interacting with others to produce the effect called luck. The Barrier of Disbelief protects most from accidentally being consumed by their desires. The Barrier is usually broken through shamanistic visions induced by stress rituals, on mystic mushroom trips, or within the shared dreams of visionleaf. Spells Qi can be imbued with visualized intention and “woven” into “viral” matrices of predetermined probability, activated, amplified, and transmitted by specific sonic vibrations and intricate movements plus a spark of material qi and focused, situational visualization. The matrix then insinuates into the Tao effectively changing its mind and expression of the dream. The more improbable or radical the change, the more qi required and the greater the complexity and difficulty of the casting, producing the eleven Power Classes of spells. Spells learned by mystics and illuminati become internalized abilities while magicians write their more numerous lessons in books, hooking individual prepared matrices to their exterior qi to preserve their cohesion until cast. Mystics “convince” the Tao by harmonizing consciousness with a Key to become as one, illuminati charm it with artistic performance and storytelling, and magicians visualize their understanding into their spell qi to reason with it. Spells are divided according to power and complexity into a range from 0-level cantrips to level 10. Magicians use concentric circles to represent the relationship with the first outer Circle representing cantrips and the singular centre the sole 11 th Circle. This also represents how spells go from simple effects of singular purpose to complex wishes with all
- 66. 64 spells effectively drawingupon of being a simplified version of the core spell Miraculum. The Forms Concentrated potency, the Existential Forms are overarching thematic conceptual ideals essential to the Tao and embodied in or through Yggdrasil, Eden’s Tree of Life that bore the Gods, from which divine Powers directly draw divine energy (golden bolts that can repair or damage anything), Formal spells and abilities, and qi to weave spells. Each Form also has Formal Aspects which focus on slightly different powers and magic. There are 33 Forms with a total of 67 Aspects that make up the 100 wells of divine energy collectively known as the Font of Divinity. Paragons are mortals who so embody a Form that they can draw directly upon its abilities and spells, requiring focused visualized intention without the need for weaving, casting vibrations, or additional qi. Complex, or Martial, Paragons embody multiple Forms, using techniques in their sacred texts to broaden set Formal spells and abilities into more spells with casting vibrations and more abilities. All five types embody Struggle, rangers also drawing from Animal and Earth, paladins Order, Good, Light, and Life, and dark paladins Order, Evil, Darkness, and Death. Dark paladins follow Mordred’s Will to Power, light paladins Sirsyr’s Meditations on Honour, and rangers Mielikki’s The Wild Hunt. Superior Paragons, both types of paladins can directly channel divine energy for both its purposes. Divine paragons, or saints, are mortals granted access to a Form through the favour of a compatible Power. The Keys The vibrations as well as dissonant and harmonic interactions of the Forms resonate with the fabric of the planes to produce the Planar Keys. The exception is the Blood Key that resonates within all dragonnethi from the blood of Tiamat. The mystic mushroom, discovered by dragonnethi, allows initiate mystics to attune to a Key in order to draw power for spells and abilities. Once trained, the mushroom is no longer required to reach the proper level of altered consciousness. There are 17 Keys: Celestial Keys: Holy and Unholy Faerie Keys: Element (Air, Earth, Fire, or Water), Frigid, and Hart Terrestrial Keys: Blood and Spirit Telestial Keys: Bestial, Doom, Horror, Liminal, Metamorphic, Necrotic, Perception, Radiant, Stellar, and Uncanny The Companions The offspring of Thought and Memory, the Seven Companions sang songs created from the Keys to teach the early elven shamanistic knowledge-keepers who became illuminati, working magic through charisma on perception, emotion, and psychology. As they did in person with the Elder Gods, the Companions send out avatar-like guiding spirits to be expressed through the illuminati. Illuminati use totems of their Companion to focus their magic and as a link to their Guides similar to a priest’s sacred symbol. Body Casting Desperate spell-casters out of spell slots and sources for them can consume their physical qi on the form of 1 Constitution point per level of spell slot. Demon Summoning The common lower level summoning and conjuring spells do not summon the actual creatures named, instead they summon unborn spirits from the Dream Worlds of Utopia, the Dream Time, and Abaddon, and give them the temporary form of the named creature. Not so for summoned demons. Many demons escaped the raising of the Demon Wall that rapped the rest in the Abyss and now haunt the Dream Time and Abaddon, eager as the unborn for summons. More powerful planar summoning and the Gate spell contact the actual named creatures. Their astral forms appearing like thick black smoke, demons are formless spirits of dark qi, ever- changing and amorphous except for their powers, physical capabilities, Hit Dice, and intense lust for chaos, destruction, terror, horror, and agony. Demons given form by Cthulhu are daemons and loose a measure of their chaos. Beyond the Mortal Sphere, they can manifest all their powers and physical capabilities to other astral beings. Within the Mortal Sphere they must take possession of a body. When summoned, a demon must be targeted at a humanoid body, not a location. If not, the demon enters the Mortal Sphere targeting the caster for possession. To take possession of a potential host, the demon must make a possession attack (a proficient Charisma check or save) against the potential host’s Wisdom save. If it beats the victim, it takes control. If rejected, it is banished. If the host is an intact corpse (preferably fresh) the demon rises as a ghast with +1hp/HD of the demon and ability to use the demon’s magical powers at half their strength, giving victims Advantage on any save and resistance against any damage. If the host is an unwilling living creature, the
- 67. 65 demon is ableto use its magical abilities at full strength but targets still get advantage or resistance against their effects. The host also gains +1hp/HD of the demon while hosting it. If the host is a willing living creature the demon fully manifests its magical powers and physical capabilities, transforming the host’s body into its own. At the end of a summoning’s duration, the demon may make a possession attack to resist and remain in possession indefinitely. A host may try to exert control by make a Charisma save opposed by the possession attack of the demon. If successful, the host is in physical and mental control of the form until the demon reasserts its control. While in control, the demon’s alignment becomes the host’s but attacks and spells target the body’s mind and structure not the demon. Only spells such as Banishment affect the possessing demon. A demon in possession may transfer to another host by a possession attack made through touch. If a host is slain, the demon is forced out and if unable to pass through touch, is banished. Hit points gained from possession are temporary but remain and return after along rest as long as the possession continues. A demon may be summoned into a magic circle and trapped in its formless state. Demons, in possession or formless, can see astral projections and astral projections can see formless demons, but not those in possession. It requires spells such as True Sight to detect the demon within, although their alignment is detectable whenever they exerting control. Dimensional Translocation There are three methods used for rapid to instantaneous dimensional travel: coordinate shifting, wormholes, and the Dreamworld. Dream Walk utilizes the Dreamworld borderland between the Mortal and Virtual Spheres to blur distance and reduce travel time dramatically. Spells such a Gate open a wormhole targeted within or beyond a plane to create a doorway between distant locations. Teleport, Plane Shift, and most conjurations, use coordinate shifting to change the cosmic coordinates of the traveller or summoned entity to those of the destination or conjurer for incorporation into the next instantaneous permutation of Existence, basically hacking the cosmic program. Coordinate Shifting Coordinate shifting involves imposing quantum entanglement for quantum teleportation of the essential information from particles in one location to particles in another location, enabling instantons travel/ This is aided by the alteration of the original particles into virtual particles, releasing zero-point energy for creating and stabilizing virtual particles on order to add form and substance to the transferred information. For creatures conjured by spells of less than 5th level, the stability of their substance quickly destabilizes back into virtual particles returning their essential information to the Virtual Sphere. Information Shifting Involving fewer virtual particles than coordinate shifting, information shifting involves energy, most energetic conjurations employing this technique. Applied specifically to light it enables spells such as Blur, Displacement, and Invisibility by creating a probability field that teleports most incoming light information to the other side of the field or to another location. This dims the effective light level for the invisible creature by 1 step and prevents all reflected or generated light and related electromagnetic radiation from leaving the field. Planar Barriers The nature of the Immortal Sphere limits magic within it as well as plane travel to them. The Faerie Realms may be entered only through a Plane Shift or Gate spell cast on the Material Plane or a Faerie Circle connected to one in the Faerie Realms. The Celestial Realms may only be entered physically from the Air Realm. Those planes sealed by the Demon Wall may be reached and entered from beyond the wall without problem, but coming back encounters the Wall’s effects. This allows the summoning of entities that dwell there, except for Cthulhu, Orcus, Azathoth, and Pazuzu. The Dreaming The Sarllak Plant Appearing as a towering mound of foliage, the Numallean Sarllak is a huge bulbous carnivore it a large, strong, flexible sphincter in its top opening into a central cavity filled with painful acid and lined horizontally with circular, hard saw-toothed ridges turning alternating directions by twisting fibrous contractions. The same Kevlar-like fibers give it Nat AC +10, DR10/adamantine, and Energy Resistance 10 to all but Cold. It constantly emits an Anti-magic Flied and a 100-foot radius perfume cloud that creates an entrancing hallucination of a plant so glorious that victims walk freely to its side and stare motionless in helpless awe. A sarllak plant can also emit a blast of panic-inducing pollen in a 30-foot radius that leaves even the hardiest shaken. Its base ring of dozens of relatively small vine tentacles trip and entangle Medium
- 68. 66 and smaller creaturescoming within a 10-foot radius, while a dozen much larger vines lash and grab up to Large creatures for deposit in the cavity next round. Each has thorns with deadly Constitution poison able to be employed while striking or grabbing. A Large meal can last a sarllak up to 48 days, a Medium 24, and a Small 12. Once planted, the Diminutive plant sprouts after a week, growing a size category each week until Huge and living roughly twelve years before producing 3d4 bulbs and dying. The root of a sarllak plant produces 5d4 doses of clear, blue juice. Brewed Twilight Although the Arcanum claims it to be a brew of a rare Numallean mushroom, flowers, and other ingredients, this is to throw people off the truth. Heated from blue to indigo, the pure juice of the Sarllak Plant emits an earthy steam with a hint of spice. Imbibed, it burns into the body, filling it like liquid flame before blasting the imbiber into the Dreaming. Blitzkrieg During the 11930s, Hister sent expeditions into Numallea looking for artefacts of power and the source of brewed twilight. They returned with three sarllak plants from which Hister created blitzkrieg, known commonly as blitz, to turn normal soldiers into super soldiers known as Stormtroopers. During the Witching Hour of the Night of Darkness, planting a Sarllak bulb blessed jointly by priests of Cthulhu, Kali-Set, and Pazuzu, in ground freshly Hallowed by the same priests starts the process of creating a blitzkrieg plant. Upon attaining full growth, it must be sacrificed at least one anthropoid child meal per week until the following Night of Darkness. During the Witching Hour, a virgin priest of a good god is sacrificed to the plant’s hunger, completing its transformation. Two thirds of its leaves turn colour, half to red and half brown as its perfume cloud condenses into a Stinking Cloud of decay and rot. It immediately produces 3d4 bulbs and dies, the bulbs producing blitzkrieg plants no longer requiring blessing or sacrifices but still needing ground Hallowed by a priest of one of the three gods to sprout. Acquiring the Advanced Template and an additional +2 Hit Dice, blitzkrieg plants mature twice as fast and require more frequent meals, a Large one lasting up to 16 days, Medium 8, and Small 4. The small vines grow vampiric thorns that bleed entangled victims 1d4 Con per round, granting +1 temporary hit point to the plant each time. The overwhelming terror evoked by its pollen burst knocks out victims, panicking those who resist. Priests of the three Gods are treated as having 0-level Sanctuary, Hide from Plants, and Hold Plant spells effective only on blitzkrieg plants. A blitzkrieg plant lives up to four years before producing bulbs and dying. The dried, pulverized core flesh of the central root produces 10d10 doses of pale yellow Blitzkrieg powder for snorting. Hitting like Twilight Tea enhanced by witchcraft, it drills through the Veil. Creating a temporary conduit with the Soul grants the effects of attaining one of three levels of increased Existential Clarity (Awoken, Enlightened, or Ludic) without inner resistance, but with the risk of going beyond Lucid to berserk or death. An inhaled or ingested dose of blitzkrieg always has an effect. The taker makes a Constitution save at DC25 to determine the intoxication level: Critical Success: Advantage of Charisma and Wisdom checks and skills, disadvantage on Wisdom and Intelligence skills and checks; +5 temporary hit points; Confusion/Exhaustion/Withdrawal/Addiction DC10 with advantage Success: Advantage of Charisma checks and skills, disadvantage on Wisdom skills and checks; Confusion/Exhaustion/Withdrawal/Addiction DC15 with advantage Failure: Attain Awoken status; Confusion/Exhaustion/Withdrawal/Addiction DC15 Failure >10: Enlightened status; Confusion/Exhaustion/Withdrawal/Addiction DC20 Failure >20: Lucid status; Confusion/Exhaustion/Withdrawal/Addiction DC25 Critical Failure: Overdose (convulsions and seizures inflict 3d10 points of damage to both Constitution and Intelligence) The effects of each dose lasts 1d6 hours, requiring a Wisdom saving throw at the noted DC to prevent Confusion for 1 round per hour of effect with a critical failure resulting in Confusion during the entire duration. Each hour of effect inflicts 1 point of Exhaustion all of which hit when the effects end. A Constituion save at the noted DC cuts this in half, rounded down. Another Constitution save is also rehired to prevent incapacitation due to withdrawal that goes away after a long rest and a successful Constitution save, preventing Exhaustion recovery until it does.
- 69. 67 Once the withdrawaleffects end, the character must make Wisdom save to prevent addiction, which takes the form of Geas spell to get more, a basic spell for less than Awoken, a 7th level slot spell for Awoken, 8th level for Enlightened, and a 12th level slot for Lucid. A Greater Restoration or a Wish cures the addiction. Otherwise they get a save at the end of each duration period to break the addiction or it continues for another full duration period. The psychic damage is delivered 1 damage dice per 3 waking hours they go without and each day the addict must make an addiction save or have the Poisoned condition. Taking multiple doses of blitzkrieg is highly dangerous. A second dose adds 1d6 hours to the duration and causes all new saves with disadvantage, more intense effects replacing lesser. Each dose after this has the same effects as the second but carries a Death save to prevent immediate overdose, made with disadvantage after the third dose. Entering the Dreaming The Dreaming is entered by ingesting brewed twilight, placing the Dreamer into a dreamscape with three levels separated by Veils: Ethical, Foundational, and Spiritual. The goal is to pass through the Veil between body and soul to achieve one of three levels of Existential Consciousness: Awake, Aware, or Lucid. Should a natural 1 be rolled on any check to convince a Psychic Aspect or the spiritual True Self it provokes immediate attack upon the Dreamer. If the Persuasion, Deception, or Intimidation, check is made against an Aspect of opposing alignment has Disadvantage. The True Self when encountered has the Dreamer’s original alignment and any change in the Dreamer’s present alignment from Aspect defeat (unconscious or dead) makes convincing it to cooperate more difficult. A change of 1 step causes disadvantage, 2 steps also remove any proficiency bonus, and changing to an opposing alignment drops success to only on a natural 20. The Existential Veil Forms as body, memories and skills are developed in infancy and childhood, growing thicker until the spirit and body are completely separated. The Dreamscape The dreamscape may be anything appropriate to the dreamer, from familiar and realistic to fanciful and allegorical. Due to the malleable reality, it is possible for any mind to shape its environment enabling the at-will use of spell-like abilities that require the same casting time, but no components, and have the same effects as any spell of any type within the level limit of the Sphere. Wisdom is used as the casting ability with casting level and proficiency dependent on the plane. Doing so requires a Casting Check at DC15+spell level according to the following: 1-4HD (non-proficient with disadvantage); 5-8HD (non-proficient); 9-12HD (proficient); 13-16HD (advantage); 17+HD (no check). Psychic Aspects Inside the dreaming, the Aspects of the psyche are represented by duplicates of the dreamer, exact in all ways except appearance, which may reflect the dreamer’s character or self-image (such as good being represented by a child) and always differs in respect to colour in that good is always represented by white, evil by black, ethical neutrality by grey, order by blue, chaos red, and foundational neutrality purple. All want to be in control and to prevent the dreamer from going deeper into the Dreaming and are willing to kill each other if necessary, the degree of necessity depending on the dreamer. Always able to abandon the Dreaming and wakeup, the dreamer can only go deeper by convincing the Hostile parts to allow it, by rendering them both unconscious, or by killing them. The foundational and ethical neutrals can only exist while there are extremes. If an extreme dies, the neutral takes its place. The goal is to pierce each level’s veil and reach the Spiritual Aspect, the Essential Self, in the Core. Influencing Aspects All Aspects want to be in conscious control of the psyche and fear the result of allowing another Aspect to enter a deeper level. The mere presence of the Dreamer can cause battle between the other Aspects. Each must be convinced to allow the Dreamer to pass through the next Veil or cooperate in keeping the other Aspect from preventing such passage. There are three periods when attempts may be made to Influence each of the other Aspects in a psychic level: upon first encounter, each time the situation significantly changes, and after each minute the encounter lasts. Three attempts may be made on each Aspect during each influence period using a Deception check, an Intimidation check, and a Persuasion check. The first check is made normally, the following one at disadvantage, and the third with disadvantage and half normal total bonus. a critical success grants enthusiastic cooperation that grants advantage on the first check used to influence the remaining Aspect. A critical failure results in increasing hostility with three inciting attack immediately follow the Influence attempts on both Aspects. Each critical
- 70. 68 failure also givesdisadvantage on the corresponding check made for the other Aspect. Psychic Balance The balance of the psyche depends of the existence of two extreme Aspects and a neutral Aspect, the psyche’s Neutrality unable to be maintained if a slain extreme is not restored to life within 1d4 rounds. At this point, the neutral Aspect immediately assumes the extreme point of view. If the other extreme is then slain, the Aspect can choose to remain with its extreme point of view or return to neutrality. Raising a slain Aspect guarantees its cooperation except on a critical failure of the check. A slain Aspect can be regenerated with consistent behaviour and a successful Charisma DC25 save made after each year multiplied by Longevity rating. Dreaming Damage Although energy damage behaves normally within the Dreaming it is all actually psychic damage. Rendering an Aspect unconscious inflicts an immediate 1 point of Exhaustion. Each slain Aspects inflicts 2 points of Exhaustion on the Dreamer. 6 points of Exhaustion ejects the Dreamer from the Dreaming dying. Slaying and replacing the True Self requires a Constitution save DC25 to prevent all Exhaustion points becoming permanent, with success reducing permanent Exhaustion to 2 points. A Wish enables these permanent points to be removed normally and an extraordinary Wish to remove them all immediately. Each time an Aspect is rendered unconscious the Dreamer must make a Wisdom save at DC15 to avoid as per Witchcraft. This rises to DC20 for a slain Aspect or an unconscious True Self, and to DC25 for a slain True Self. If one is already unconscious or dead, the saves for additional ones are made with disadvantage. As usual, a victim of gets a new save to remove it if a Greater restoration is cast upon them, with advantage if a Wish is used, and is cured by an extraordinary Wish. Healing, raising, resurrecting or otherwise restoring an Aspect from its condition removes the inflicted Exhaustion involved from the Dreamer. Only the True Self can’t be restored if slain. If the Dreamer becomes unconscious or dying, they are ejected from the Dreaming in the same condition. If slain outright, they are ejected dying with 5 points of Exhaustion. Personal Demons When attempting to pass through the Veils of each level after the dealing with the Aspects, the Dreamer can experience a psychic blockage, a personal demon they must face, survive, and banish. This is usually takes the form of having to face deep physiological emotions and traumas that induced life-long fear, doubt, depression, guilt, and the like, in the form of a Phantasmal Killer, related in theme to either the Ethics or to the Foundations. Passing through a Veil takes three successful Death saves following the normal process for Death saves with one save per round. Failing three, or a critical failure, triggers the effect which lasts until a successful save is made or 1 minute. On a critical failure Death save saves against the Phantasmal Killer have disadvantage with the damage increased by 2 slot levels, or by 1 if it occurs as the second failed roll. Psychic Ethics The Ethical level divides the dreamer into Good, Evil, and Neutrality with the dreamer’s consciousness in the appropriate role. Convincing another Aspect to cooperate is DC20 at this level. The dreamer requires unanimous or overwhelming cooperation to advance inward, or at least no opposition. Psychic Foundations The Foundational level divides the dreamer into Chaos, Order, and Neutrality. Passing beyond this level takes the dreamer through the Existential Veil. Convincing another Aspect to cooperate is DC25 at this level. The dreamer requires unanimous or overwhelming cooperation to advance inward, or at least no opposition. Psychic Core The Core level is the dreamer’s spirit resides, the Essential Self. Piercing the Veil brings the consciousness into contact with the spirit. This enables the dreamer to attain a level of Existential Clarity depending on the cooperation or domination of the soul. The soul resists such cooperation because it makes it more vulnerable. To become Awoken the dreamer needs to make three successful checks at DC26 before three failures to convince the spirit, the same three failures applying to attempts to achieve higher further Clarity. To become Enlightened by the True Name, the Dreamer’s unique existential frequency, requires an additional three successes at DC28 To join with the Essential Self and become a Lucid psyche requires and additional three successes at DC30 Enforced Clarity Attaining one of these states through force is possible but risky. Becoming Awake can be accomplished by duplicating the effect of Qi Rape (without the coup de
- 71. 69 grace) on theunconscious but stable Soul. This causes the Soul to make a Will save and a Fort save against the spell. Failure of the first gains the desired state. Failure of the second inflicts 1 point of constitution damage per 2 caster levels to the soul and dreamer (real and imagined), or 1 per 3HD. To become Aware the dreamer must create the same effect on the dying Soul with a +5 bonus to its Will save and failure of the Fort save inflicting 1 point per caster level or 1 per 2HD. To attain Lucidity the same must be done on the soul the round before death with a +10 bonus to the Will save and a failed Fort save resulting in the Soul’s death. Psychic and Spiritual Damage Each Aspect rendered unconscious inflicts 1 point of Exhaustion and each slain inflicts 2 points. Unconsciousness forces a DC15 Wisdom save and Death a DC20 save both with +1 to the DC for ever prior Aspect affected by either condition. Failure results in as per Witchcraft. Each unconscious Aspect inflicts 4 points of Constitution damage to the Dreamer with 0 CON resulting in being ejected unconscious rom the Dreaming. Each dead Aspect inflicts the 8 points of damage recovered at the rate of 1 point per long rest, Restoration only returns half the normal amount normal and 1 point per dead Aspect is lost permanently, impossible for even an extraordinary Wish to restore. If reduced to 0 CON by a dead Aspect, the Dreamer must make immediate Death saves. 3 successes mean ejection from the Dreaming with the dying condition. 3 failures eject the Dreamer already dead. Rendering the True Self unconscious or killing it inflicts counts as 2 Aspects at once. Killing the True Self requires immediate Death saves with disadvantage to prevent immediate death with three successes raising Consciousness to the Awoken level as the conscious Aspects take its place as the new True Self. Being rendered unconscious or dead by an Aspect gives that Aspect conscious control. If the True Self renders the Dreamer unconscious they are ejected unconscious. If slain, the Dreamer must make immediate Death save with 3 successes ejected them dying and three failure ejecting them dead. If the True Self and Dreamer are both slain the Dreamer the character can only be brought back by being Returned from Oblivion (see section Spells: Descriptions). Any damage taken in the Dreaming still remaining when the Dreaming is left becomes real psychic damage upon waking, with a DC20 CON save for half damage, none on a critical success, and double on a critical failure. Exhaustion caused by unconscious Aspects or True Self decreases normally. Those from slain one decrease at half the normal rate and 1 point remains permanently, 2 for just the True Self, and 3 if the True Self was among others. Permanent exhaustion requires an extraordinary Wish to eliminate or a normal Wish to remove 1 point. Existential Clarity Defined by the quality of the communication between the consciousness and the spirit through the interference of the Veil, the State of Clarity attained includes all the benefits of the level(s) below it, all bonuses being cumulative except where the superior replaces the inferior. In the vernacular of the Dreaming the four States of Clarity are referred to as States within the Waking Dream, with Asleep the term for the basic Subconscious State of mortality. Informed (Awake) The consciousness establishes a communication channel worth the Essential Self through the Veil accessing its qi and knowledge to gain: Spiritual Insight: +1 level Cellular Control: Able to spend HD for healing as a bonus action, fully restored by a short rest Form Control: Disguise Self at will Inner Eye (spiritual vision): Darkvision +30, Detect Evil and Good as per Eldritch Sight Ancient Intuition: Luck feat with one roll usable for any check or attack roll involving Mental stats. Integrated Consciousness: Add +1 to all Mental ability bonuses Agelessness: Age penalties and apparent aging stop Psychic Awakening: 1d4-1 (minimum 0) rolls on Psychic Ability chart. Enlightened (Aware) The dreamer learns their True Name, the exact unique frequency of the thought comprising their qi, enabling them to finely tune the connection with the spirit, enabling stronger energy flow, deeper self-knowledge, and greater situational awareness. The possession of a True Name by an opponent gives the owner disadvantage against the possessor’s spell and attack saves and vulnerability to all damage inflicted by the possessor. The possessor has advantage on all attacks against the owner and on any attempt to Dispel or Counter the owner’s magic. Every directive of the possessor has the effect of a Dominate spell if not
- 72. 70 resisted by aCharisma save against their spell DC. Lastly, the possessor may use the True Name to place the owner under a Geas on a failed save against the spell, of 30 day, 1 year, or indefinite, length, able to renew or replace it once expired or completed. Generally only a deep probe with Detect Thoughts or some form of domination has a chance of getting a True Name out of a possessor but the owner gets a Charisma save with advantage against the attempt. The dreamer gains: Spiritual Insight: +1 level Cellular Control: Treated as if possessing the Durable feat (actual feat stacks) Form Control Alter Self at will Inner Eye: Darkvision +30, See Invisible as per Eldritch Sight Ancient Intuition: Luck feat with one roll usable for any check or attack roll involving Physical stats. Integrated Consciousness: Add +1 to all Physical ability bonuses Agelessness: Maximum age doubled Psychic Awakening: 1d4-1 (minimum 0) rolls on Psychic Ability chart. Amplified (Lucid) The shattered Veil falls, uniting the psyche and spirit into a single consciousness and granting the Dreamer: Spiritual Insight: +1 level Cellular Control: Get 2HD to spend for healing for every 1HD possessed Form Control: Polymorph ( Self) at will Inner Eye: Darkvision +30, True Seeing as per Eldritch Sight Ancient Intuition: Two additional two rolls each for Mental and Physical Luck. Integrated Consciousness: Add +1 to all Mental and Physical ability bonuses Agelessness: Unlimited longevity created by qi- infused blood removing maximum age limit but not metabolic need for sleep, water, food, and air. Unified in the Afterlife into a soul, a true immortal body has its blood replace by the qi of its spirit and its metabolism is self- sustaining. Psychic Awakening: 1d4-1 (minimum 0) rolls on Psychic Ability chart. Aftermath All damage taken in the Dreaming is real psychic damage. If the Dreamer replaced their True Self by slaying it or became Lucid, they can never attempt the Dreaming again. If more is ingested, the seizures and convulsions caused by a brewed twilight overdose inflict 3d10 permanent points of damage to both Constitution and Intelligence, restored only by one Wish per Ability score or an extraordinary Wish for both. If this is not the case, the Dreaming may be entered again after they gaining a level, and again a level after that attempt, and so on until one of these limits is reached. Those who pass through the Dreaming usually bear some mark of the experience in their appearance, most often in the form of an alteration in bone structure, height, weight, healthful appearance, senses, or the colour of eyes, hair, or skin, although more dramatic and shocking changes can happen if warranted by the events of the Dreaming. The Fifty Sacred Names of Marduk Spells using glyphs, runes, symbols, or words draw upon the Fifty Sacred Names of Marduk, each name possessing its own power in written or spoken form. From strongest to weakest they are typically referred to as Power Words, Symbols, Glyphs, Runes, or Words (e.g. Placebo and Healing Word). Fire Diamond Fire diamond contains qi that makes it appear to have an internal flame. The standard fire diamond holds enough qi to be used as 10 sorcerous points by any spell-casting class. A diamond’s value multiplies in proportion with the amount of points contained within, which correspond with size, clarity, and quality. The Inner Eye Also known as Spiritual Sight, focusing the Inner Eye allows the spirit to sense qi and discern increasingly deeper levels of existential detail that the brain interprets as mental visual images. `There are six levels of resolution: Fogged (no awareness), Fuzzy (discerning patterns of qi at the macroscopic level, experienced as Eldritch Sight), Clear (discerning the radiant and surface qi to the microscopic level, experienced as Darkvision), Sharp (discerning the qi at the molecular level and the inherent radiation of empathy or antipathy, experienced as seeing the auras of Detect Evil and Good), Fine (discerning the deep detail of substance at the elemental level, experienced as See Invisible), Extreme (discerning the deepest level possible, experienced as True Seeing). The spells mentioned focus the Inner Eye to the appropriate level, many races and dreamweavers possess or develop focus, and those who pass through the Dreaming are able to attain up to
- 73. 71 Deep Resolution. Beyondthe range given by the appropriate spells and Darkvision, the Fog of Existence created by the atoms and energies of air, heat, light, magnetism, cosmic radiation, and such down to the omnipresent Tao, grows too dense discern detail. Material Components Aldyryc magic doesn’t use minor material components like spider webs and the like, usually included in a component pouch. For the normal listed material components other than those added within the spell description the following value of crystals are consumed according to the spell level: 1. 1cp 2. 5cp 3. 1sp 4. 5sp 5. 1gp 6. 5gp 7. 1pp 8. 5pp 9. 10pp Mind Casting Mind casting is casting spells directly by the imposition of will upon reality without components. It requires a Casting Check at DC24 plus 2 per missing component category. A critical failure inflicts 1 point of Exhaustion and expends the spell slot. A critical success raises the effective slot level of the spell by 1. Failure doesn’t expend the slot. Mystic Mushrooms Powerfully hallucinogenic, the mystic mushroom causes the same effects as an Astral Projection spell with one full dose lasting 1d12 x 30 minutes and a Constituion DC of 24 to resist. Mystics use a full dose to allow their astral forms to attune to their Keys and then take gradually smaller daily doses until they can maintain their connect without it. 1 dose costs 10gp. Oath of the Styx Many being swear blood oaths or upon the River Styx as the most serious of honourable compacts. However, this is only truly binding if the priesthood of Charon is involved or the two are combined. This creates a Geas for the Oath. A true Oath of the Styx requires the people swearing to cut themselves and press the wound together so that all involved share blood. Then they take the Oath. This is absolutely binding and can only be released by the priesthood of Charon. Breaking the Oath comes with an instant Geas damage warning. If not remedied within one minute, the Oath breaker is taken by the Styx never to be released. No distance, magic or physical barrier prevents this and even Apex Powers must submit without a save. Thus true Oaths are extremely rare. Paying the Reaper Raise Dead and Reincarnation require a valuable sacrifice made to the Reaper that responds in order for it to summon the desired spirit waiting in the Ethereal Plane and release it to life. In addition, all Resurrection spells require paying Rawna’s Price, A Life for a Life, in order for her to call them from the Afterlife and split their soul for return to mortality. The wishes of the dead may cancel the spell, but not until after payment is made and debt incurred to the Raven Queen. Prismatic Magic Prismatic Spray and Prismatic Wall are Conjurations that draw energy from the Seven Seals of the Demon Wall. The effects are altered as follows: Reduction to 0 hit points by any of the listed damage forms results in the same effect as Disintegrate. Prismatic effects reach into the Ethereal plane, ignore Resistance, treat Immunity as Resistance, and affect astral projections. Prismatic energy is unaffected by Antimagic Field but can’t be cast within one as with any other spell. The violet layer projects a probability field with a radius equal to the layer length, extending its effects to all teleportation and planar travel attempting to enter the protected area. A successful save returns the individual to their point of departure or entry point at the edge of the protected area. Any other attempt to target a spell into the protected areal results in the spell being targeted on the caster if possible, failing if not. Walls affected by a Permanency ritual are able to regenerate 10 points of damage per round plus 10 per intact layer, rebuilding damaged ones before restoring fallen layers from 0, even if dispelled. Colours throw targets who fail the save 10’ away from the caster or wall plus 10’ per layer already passed through, requiring a Dexterity save to avoid landing Prone. Contacting any hard objects inflicts 1d6 points of falling damage per 10’ of movement cut-off by immobile objects or per 10’ traveled before striking mobile ones of at least half the target’s weight. Each mobile object struck reduces total distance travelled by 10’. Colours 1. Red: 10d6 points of psychic damage, Frightened if save fails; Weakness: 60 hit points of White Art converted spell slot healing followed by Dispel Magic.

Yellow: 10d6 points of force damage, Stunned if save fails; Weakness: 60 hit points of disintegration damage followed by Dispel Magic. 4. Green: 10d6 points of radiant damage, Blinded if save fails; Weakness: 60 hit points of damage by a Death spell followed by Dispel Magic. 5. Blue: 10d6 points of divine energy damage, Paralyzed if save fails; Weakness: 60 hit points of divine energy healing followed by Dispel Magic. 6. Indigo: Restrained and Petrified as normal; Weakness: a Rock to Mud spell followed by Dispel Magic. 7. Violet: Blinded and Transported as normal but remain Blinded until a successful save, roll d6 to end up in Abyss (1-2), Gehenna (3-4), or Abaddon (5-6); Weakness: a Plane Shift spell followed by Dispel Magic. The Demon Wall is a deformed sphere containing the lower Telestial Realms, at least 100 times more powerful than the spell with disadvantage on all saves and weakness exploitation, requiring at least a Lesser Divine Power Rank to attempt. Until the 2nd and 4th Chaos Waves weakened the Seals, an Apex rank was required. Visionleaf First sprouted in Eden, the visionleaf plant is the more potent ancestor of cannabis. Inhaling or ingesting a dose places the individual into a mental state close to the Dreamworld that enables those sharing it (multiple doses are smoked in one pipe or eaten from one batch) to meet in a shared dreamscape of their surrounding that enables magicians to train apprentices in their cantrips until they are tricked into doing so on regular cannabis, breaking the Barrier of Disbelief that prevents accidental dreamweaving. A dose of visionleaf costs 50gp and is typically purchased from the Arcanum. It costs twice this one the street and is a popular form of entertainment. 1 dose of visionleaf creates a shared dreamscape for 2 hours that can be left by making a Charisma save at DC20, 1 attempt per minute with a critical failure granting disadvantage on the next attempt. The dreamscape overlays the material world around the dreamer granting disadvantage on Perception checks regarding the material world. While dreaming, the body is Paralyzed. Once the dreamscape is left, the individual enters a state of amused relaxation that grants advantage of Wisdom saves and checks but disadvantage on those for Intelligence. This lasts for 2 hours before sobriety returns and 2 points of Exhaustion are gained. There is a risk of attracting a native entity of the Dreamworld to the dreamscape equal to 1d20 rolled every 30 minutes with a 1 resulting in the attraction of something nasty and a 20 something simply curious or potentially beneficial. Wizardry The six magician’s Crafts began as unrelated Sorceries learned by rote and practiced without intellectual understanding. Melkor the goblin was contacted by Orcus to serve as the first priest and reveal the Mortis Liber. Melkor and his son Sauron discovered it buried deep in the Underworld of Aldyryc. Copying the book’s groups of arcane rituals, Melkor created the first sorcerous texts. This allowed sorcery to spread, except Druidic Lore for which orcs had little talent or interest. Melkor rallied the orcs around the book, eventually founding the Murhkar Empire that Sauron the Necromancer would be first to rule. Later, more rituals were copied by faerie from the Vitae Liber before leaving the Faerie Realms and Druidic Lore came into its own. Priestcraft creates a divine covenant enabling the channeling of divine energy, Formal abilities, and qi for spells. Magecraft utilizes the caster’s qi, Enchantment that of inanimate matter, Necromancy the qi of other creatures and spirits, Druidic Lore the forces of nature, planets, and the Faerie Realms, and Conjuration the forces of the universe, planes of the Outer Spheres, and the structure of reality. Thousands of years after humans first arrived from their Old World of One Sun, Merlin the Magician, the younger of Rawna and Marduk’s two sons, introduced the concept of scientific investigation. His apprentice, Solomon, connected the Sorceries into the Crafts of Wizardry transforming sorcerers into magicians. Known as the Master Craftsman and First Wizard, a generalist of all six Crafts, he created the first true spellbook, known as the Key of Solomon. It is said to have emerald covers imbued with power akin the Mortis Liber and Vitae Liber. The Black and White Arts are essential expressions of antipathy or empathy that infuse the effects and creator of a prepared spell, capable of converting such into energy capable of respectively inflicting or healing wounds through touch. The Grey Art affords the magician an initial choice of orientation. Changes in character accrued through choices and cumulative use of spells of other Arts can shift a magician’s expressed Art.
- 75. 73 Unfortunately, although Wizardryunited the Crafts, it split the magicians into three Art factions and the Druidic Order that had formed a few centuries earlier. A struggle for dominance became the devastating Dream War, including the Witch Hunt of Draco’s Kaldarian Inquisition. Merlin brought it to an end by creating the Arcanum, made up of the three Artistic Orders, the Druidic Order, the numerous Divine Orders, and the Cerulean Order that enforces Wizard Law and protects the Arcanum. Each Order has a Speaker on the Arcanum Council from whom one is elected Speaker of The Arcanum, except for First Speaker Morden Kainen Gygax, appointed directly by Merlin. Druidic Lore’s Central Calculus The core of the Druidic Lore philosophy is the Universal Computation. The Formula has Four Expressions: Druidic Formula (Balance):Order / Chaos + Good - Evil = 1 Dark Energy Calculation (Process): Void / Tao + Quality - Entropy = 1 Cosmic Equation (Creation): ∞ / ∞ + Construction + Destruction = 1 or 0 / 0 + 1 + (-1) = 1 Evolutionary Reckoning (Progress): Opportunity / Potential + Benefit - Detriment = Continuity Druids and Ecomancers use their best numerical estimation of relevant complexity factors and variables, based on a large index of experimental values and result comparisons, to gauge whether their form of Neutrality needs to be applied to return to 1 or some other, or if multiple angles need be applied to the constantly changing, often increasingly complex and delicate, calculation. Sometimes this requires doing nothing in order to let it work itself out or to maintain its stable progress. Sometimes it requires doing the counter-intuitive and the disruptive, or using ends to justify means. A result in the Formula greater than 1 indicates expansion while less than 1 indicates contraction. The Arcanum Compass The Arcanum was founded on eight principle laws that they call the 8 Points of the Compass. The Cerulean Guard was created to enforce these as judge and act as judge and juror to offenders. Only the Arcanum Council can overrule them. 1. The Arcanum requires total loyalty and obedience to Council and Order, complete unity against common enemies, and willing cooperation on common problems. 2. All adept magicians must be members of the Arcanum, tithing 10% of all income to their Order each New Year’s Day as dues. Unaffiliated or excommunicated adepts will be Dream Locked permanently. 3. There will be no unsanctioned direct combat between magicians or Orders except in declared personal duels. 4. There will be no violation of the territory or property of other magicians or Orders. 5. Neither the Arcanum nor its Orders shall seek to rule more than itself. 6. Magicians will exercise restraint in Qi collection and environmental magic to minimize the chance of permanent existential damage. Qi Rape and Witchcraft are forbidden on pain of death. 7. Restraint in demon conjuring is to be exercised to prevent a demonic plague. 8. Magicians may work for opposing sides in conflicts but may take no direct action against one another or in any way detrimental to the Arcanum or Orders. Witchcraft The Ley was once a Key and accessible by a Druidic Lore ritual. Twisted and broken into dangerous unpredictability by the Second Chaos Wave, the Ley is the spiritual matrix of the planet. Accessing it now causes 7 steps of Madness without regard for saves, resistance, or immunity. Witchcraft draws upon ley energy to spontaneously enhance spells without increasing casting difficulty. Pan’s Necronomicon, the Witch’s Grimoire, reintroduced it with a complex ritual sacrificing part of the witch’s essence to create a living familiar from a wet clay effigy. Linking witch and planet to more safely channel the unstable ley energy, some of the reduction is permanent, reduced further by the familiar’s destruction. The first contact with ley energy risks and its use is capable of permanently damaging reality. Formed after the horrors of the Dream Wars, the Arcanum banned witchcraft under penalty of death and launched the Witch Hunt. Priests of Pan form the majority of witches and the only religion not one of the Arcanum’s Orders. Created by the Witch Hunt, only their land of Paholja offers witches sanctuary from the Cerulean Order, enforcers of Wizard Law and defenders of the Arcanum. Psions and Psychics Psions are races with a number of innate, fixed magical abilities much like the Formal spells of paragons. Psychics are individuals of non-psion races with one to three relatively minor abilities from a small range of psionic powers, usually surfacing around adolescence. Faerie are psions whose abilities are dormant until they establish their adult link with the Faerie Source of their Hold.
- 76. 74 Magic in theSpheres The influence of magic varies according to the dimensional Sphere occupied by the caster. This is due to1 the prevalence of chaos and spirit or order and substance as well as the amount of potential already realized in the Sphere. The Celestial Realms of the material Inner Sphere inhibit magic while growing closer to the pure spirit of the Tao with distance from the Mortal Sphere, the three Spheres of the Telestial Realms increase in malleability and instability.

Invisible and incorporeal, the astral projection has damage resistance to acid, cold, fire, lightning, thunder; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from non-magical weapons, damage Immunity to poison, and condition immunity to exhaustion, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, prone, and restrained. The projection has Darkvision 60’, being able to move through other creatures and objects as if difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn
- 125. 123 inside an object.At the end of the duration, the caster awakens in body, with any damage taken transferred to the body. If unconscious and/or dying, the body is as well. If the projection is slain, the caster’s body dies. Targets of the caster’s attacks get the same resistances as the projection to the projection’s attacks. The caster cannot communicate verbally with or hear those not also in astral form. Astral projections are visible to each other and have no resistance to each other’s attacks or to those of other entities on the Ethereal Plane. Blindingly Obvious Level: 1 Art: Grey Craft: Enchantment Components: V, S Range: Touch Duration: Concentration up to 1 minute Saving Throw: Wisdom negates This spell makes a creature so obviously an expected part of the environment that the observer’s mind fails to notice its presence. This makes all normal, moderate movements, actions, sounds, and scents, made or emitted by the creature practically non- existent, odourless, invisible, and silent. The spell is broken universally if the creature engages with observers, attacks, or otherwise draws attention to itself. The creature has advantage in Stealth and Sleight of Hand checks against affected observers but a failure breaks the effect on the observer who then can draw the attention of others breaking the spell universally. Loud noise, intense scents, and brief vigorous action such as falling from a ladder or attacking someone else, allows affected observers a new save. Observers retain no memory of the creature from their time affected. At Higher Levels. You can target one additional creature for each slot level used above 1st . Communing Those ordained into a priesthood or the Druidic Order get Commune or Commune with Nature as a bonus cantrip as it the essential tool of their Craft. These are the only spells of these Crafts available to lay- magicians as 5th level spells although if they don’t meet the alignment requirements or otherwise do not meet the approval of the entity contacted there will be no response. Create Homunculus Level 3 (Ritual Only) Craft: Enchantment Art: Variable Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 10 minutes plus figure creation time Range: Touch Targets: One clay figure Duration: permanent Shaping a mixture of clay, ash, mandrake root, and blood, one can channel rare ritual magic to create a faithful, squirrel-sized companion. This ritual requires enough of the caster’s blood to inflict 2hp/HD mixed into the clay with which a tiny winged anthropoid figure is made, either by a craftsperson or the caster. The ritual is cast upon the figure, which may have any desired appearance, with gargoyle-like and/or some version of the caster being typical. The casting involves a donation of spirit and qi inflicting 1 point of Exhaustion upon the caster plus 1 point of damage to all three mental ability scores, all of which is healed by a long rest. The caster must make Willpower save at DC15 or be afflicted with short term madness, long term on a critical failure. The caster must make a DC20 save if the homunculus is destroyed to reduce long term madness to short term, with a critical failure causing indefinite madness. Dread Curse (ritual) 5th level Enforcer and Magician Art: Black Craft: Priestcraft Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60’ or see below Components: V, S, M (blood) Duration: 24 hours A more powerful form of Bestow Curse that requires a small amount of blood (1 hit point from the target or the caster, this spell causes the effects of that spell at a range altered as shown below as well as offering additional possible Disorders as curs. If the blood used in the casting is from the target, the spell’s range is unlimited by distance or planar location. Two of the target’s ability scores receive disadvantage on checks and saves The target has disadvantage on attacks The target gets disadvantage on Initiative Chronic fatigue grants 2 points of Exhaustion Obsession creates a Geas regarding one subject, object, item, place, creature, or person Panic requires a Willpower saving throw when Initiative is rolled to prevent becoming Frightened until long rest removes Blinded Deafened
- 126. 124 Voice silenced Stutter prevents verbal components and gives disadvantage on Persuasion, Deceit, and Intimidation checks Attention deficit gives disadvantage to all concentration and casting checks Slow Muscle weakness cuts weapon damage 50% Balance requires Dexterity if hit, dashing, or using Athletics or Acrobatics to prevent falling Prone. Critical failures while attacking also require a save. Initiatives require a Constitution save to avoid being effected as if by a Sleep spell The sight of blood requires a Constitution save to prevent being Poisoned by nausea. Any physical damage inflicted within target’s sight and the first time entering a bloody scene triggers a save. A critical failure results in fainting Unconscious as if under a Sleep spell. Hyperactivity requires a Constitution save at the completion of short rests to gain their benefits Insomnia requires a Constitution save at the end of a long rest to gain its benefits Anemia requires a Constitution save when physical damage is taken to avoid bleeding 1 point per round per damage dice Repressed immune system and regenerative ability prevent non-magical hit point recovery Incontinence requires a Constitution save when rolling initiative, ability checks, and when damage for thetarget to avoid soiling itself, generating a stench that requires a Constituion save for all within a 10’ radius, including the target, to avoid being Poisoned while in the range. Swimming, washing during a short rest, or a long rest, removes the stench. Gullibility gives target disadvantage on Willpower saves, Insight, Persuasion, Intimidation, and Deceit. Amnesia gives disadvantage on all Intelligence checks and saves as well as requiring an Intelligence save to cast each spell while affected, with disadvantage Internal noises, belches and farts make the target incapable of Stealth, Persuasion, and Intimidation, and cause all verbal spells to require a Concentration check to cast at this spell’s DC. The target becomes Vulnerable to one damage type. Every hour’s passage effects the target’s physical age, sustenance needed, and sleep requirements, as if two had passed. No benefits are gained from this except as normal for aging when appropriate. Dementia may occur on a failed Constitution save triggered by making any check roll. This causes Confusion as per the spell until a successful save against the dementia is made. All forms of healing the target are 50% effective The target gets disadvantage on Death saves, transforming into an undead upon death with a Geas upon it to feed upon the target’s allies, family, and loved ones, until none are left. If the target has two successes before the third failure, they become a ghoul in 1d4 rounds. If they have one success they rise as a wight in 1d4 hours. If they have no successes the target rises as a vampire in 1d4 days. If the body has been destroyed the target rises as a shadow, specter, or wraith respectively. At Higher Levels: Cast at 6th level the duration lasts until dispelled by remove curse. At 7th level it takes a Remove Curse 1 level higher to remove or a Wish. At 8th level it requires an extraordinary Wish and at 9th slot level it requires a Miraculum to end the curse. Dream Lock Level: 5 Craft: Magecraft Art: Black Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60’ Targets: One magic-using creature Duration: concentration up to 1 minute/level Saving Throw: Wisdom negates A Dream Lock is a personal antimagic field that restores and solidifies the Barrier of Disbelief in the target, rendering it incapable of dreaming in any way affected by an antimagic field. Using a 8th level slot raises the duration to 1 hour/level, a 7th to 1 day/level, an 8th to 48 days/level, and a 12th to 1 year /level with a Permanency ritual used to make the Lock a life-long punishment. Being Dreaming Locked requires a Willpower saving throw at DC10 +1/maximum slot level available to avoid short-term madness with a critical failure causing long-term. Casting it with a higher level slot raises the DC+1/+1 level and grants disadvantage. Making a dream lock permanent raises the save to DC15+1/maximum level to avoid indefinite madness,
- 127. 125 made incurable bya critical failure. Removing the Lock grants a new save at DC10+1/maximum level to recover from all but incurable madness which requires an extraordinary Wish to enable curing by Greater Restoration. Madness is centred around or focused upon dreamweaving, loss, revenge, or the Lock. Dream Walk Level: 6 Craft: Conjuration Art: Grey Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Targets: Up to one touched creature/ level Duration: 1 hour/level Saving Throw: Wisdom negates Dream Walk allows you and any creature you touch to shift physically into the borderland between the Dream Time and the Material Plane. You can take more than one creature along with you (subject to your level limit), but all must be touching each other. By shifting the details of the dreamscape around you from your present location toward your destination you move at a rate of 50 miles per hour relative to the Material Plane before stepping back onto the Material Plane. You can’t make out details of the terrain or areas you pass over during transit, nor can you predict perfectly where your travel will end. It’s impossible to judge distances accurately, making the spell virtually useless for scouting or spying. Furthermore, when the spell effect ends, you are shunted 1d10×100 feet in a random horizontal direction from your desired endpoint. If this would place you within a solid object, you are shunted 1d10×1,000 feet in the same direction. If this would still place you within a solid object, you (and any creatures with you) are shunted to the nearest empty space available, but the strain of this activity renders each creature disadvantaged in all checks, attacks, and saves, until they complete a long rest (no save). If the caster is separated from fellow travellers they are dumped into the Material Plane at their present location. If rendered unconscious or slain the same happens to the caster. Creatures unwilling to accompany you receive a Wisdom save to avoid the effect. Effigy Level: 5 Craft: Necromancy Art: Grey Casting Time: 1 hour Components: M S V Range: Touch Target: 1 figurative representation of 1 creature Duration: Permanent until dispelled or destroyed A dreamweaver may make an effigy of a subject using a specimen of their body such a finger nail, a hair, or blood, and 50gp of materials., the cloth is cut 6 to 18 inches tall into the body shape of the target, inscribed with one of Marduk’s names, wrapped around a clay heart embedded/mixed with the target’s specimen, stuffed with straw and rare herbs, sewn together, and then bound in leather. Once the completed the target must make a Wisdom saving throw if it is within 1 mile. If it fails the save, the connection is formed and remains until the spell is removed from the effigy or the effigy is destroyed, reaching across planes to anywhere within the same reality. Although it may be detected upon the target, the spell can only be dispelled on the effigy. Sticking a needle in the effigy inflicts 1 point of damage on the target or 1 point of exhaustion from pain and discomfort. Up to 5 points of damage or 5 points of exhaustion may be inflicted at one time. Damage needles may be pulled out and put back in to inflict more damage but removing an exhaustion needle removes the exhaustion it causes. Until removed such exhaustion resists magic and long rests. If a damage needle remains in the effigy that damage cannot be healed until they are removed. The effigy also counts as the target for the purposes of transmitting spells with the range of touch. Any damage, effects, or healing done to the effigy are transmitted in full but if more than 1d6 damage of any type is inflicted at one time the effigy is destroyed. This includes non-magical damage from poison, fire, cold, poison, etc. and the target still gets any relevant saving throws. At Higher Levels. Cast with a 5th level slot, the spell and effigy have a range of 1 mile within which to affect the target. Cast with a 6th level slot this rises to 10 miles, a 7th level slot reaching 100 miles, an 8th level slot anywhere on the same plane, and a 9th level slot anywhere within the same reality. Elemental Bonding (ritual only) Level: 7 (Ritual) Craft: Enchantment Art: variable Components: V, S, M (one 1000gp gem per bonded elemental) Casting Time: 50 minutes Range: Touch
- 128. 126 Targets: As manyobjects as there are casters and gems available Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Wisdom negates Created through much national research and the theft of a Janni carpet by Kaldaria, the Elemental Bonding ritual is used most frequently to animate intelligent objects and give them the locomotion abilities of the elemental, typically Air or Water. Earth elementals are used almost exclusively for animating golems and clockwork. This ritual requires one caster able to access to Animate Objects, Magic Jar, Conjure Elementals, and Permanency, along with 1 of each of these spells, for every object to be bonded (for airships the ship, the balloon, and the main sail are all separate objects). Each object must have Permanency cast upon it followed by simultaneous Conjure Elementals (1 of largest HD), Animate Objects, and Magic Jar. This bonds the elemental into the fabric of the object while linking to the gem as a mental control stone. Thus at least the caster and two helping casters are required for this ritual, all involved spells being treated as rituals. Although airships may be created in parts, they are often bonded together in one large ritual with the three control stones linked together by a fourth stone of 4000gp that requires a Rary’s Telepathic Bond to link with the others, adding another 10 minutes to the grand ritual. The variability of the Art depends on the willingness of the elemental to be bonded. Energetic Blast 1st-level Conjuration Art: Black Casting Time: 1 action Range: variable Components: V, S Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: see below This spell allows a choice of energy type and area of effect upon casting, inflicting a little lower damage than other equivalent energy spells but with additional ongoing, potentially permanent, effects dependent on the energy type. Regardless of type the spell inflicts 2d6 points of damage, half upon a successful save and double upon a critical fail, in addition to the effects listed for the energy type. The blast may be shaped as a 30’ line or a 15’ cone extending from the caster or detonated in a 5’ radius sphere at a range of up to 15’ from the caster. Acid: on failed Dexterity save target takes initial spell damage each round until save successful; critical failure same as failure plus Blinded, each long rest affords a save to remove condition with a critical failure on any of these saves making it permanent until a Greater Restoration or Wish removes it. Cold: on failed Constitution save target is Incapacitated until save successful; critical failure same as failure plus gain 1 point of Exhaustion, each long rest affords a save to remove Exhaustion with a critical failure on any of these saves making it permanent until a Greater Restoration or Wish removes it. Fire: on failed Dexterity save target suffers half initial spell damage each round and have disadvantage on all ability checks and attacks until a save successful; critical failure same as failure plus Blinded, each long rest affords save to remove condition with a critical failure on any of these saves making it permanent until a Greater Restoration or Wish removes it. Lightning: on failed Constitution save target is rendered Prone until save successful; critical failure same as failure plus Paralyzed, each long rest affords a save to remove condition with a critical failure on any of these saves making it permanent until a Greater Restoration or Wish removes it. Thunder: on failed Constitution save target is Stunned until save successful; critical failure same as failure plus Deafened, each long rest affords a save to remove condition with a critical failure on any of these saves making it permanent until a Greater Restoration or Wish removes it. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st , lines increase in length by +30’, cones by +15’ and spheres increase +5’ in radius and +15’ in range Enlarge/Reduce When a target is Enlarged is gains advantage on Strength checks and saves as well as 1 additional dice of damage for weapon attacks and +1d4 on unarmed attacks. A Reduced target gets disadvantage on Strength checks and saves and weapons do half damage. Inquisitor’s Touch Level: 1 Craft: Enchantment Art: Black Components: S, V
- 129. 127 Casting Time: 1action Range: Touch Duration: concentration up to 1 minute With a touch attack the caster increases blood pressure and body temperature of the target, igniting the pain nerves. This has the effect of inflicting 1 point of exhaustion upon the target for the duration and renders the target vulnerable to questioning as if under intense torture, each question requiring a Willpower saving throw against the spell DC plus 2 per point of Exhaustion to avoid answering completely and truthfully with a critical failure resulting in actual breaking of the target’s will as per Torture (see Adventuring) as well as an additional point of exhaustion being incurred. While the spell is maintained, the caster may use the question ability as a bonus action to incapacitate the target for 1 round on a failed save against the spell as above but with a critical failure merely doubling the duration of incapacitation. When the spell ends, 1 point of exhaustion is removed. A short rest can remove 1 point delivered by this spell and a long rest removes all delivered in this manner. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level, 2 points of exhaustion are inflicted. A 5th level slot inflicts 3 exhaustion points, a 7th level slot inflicts 4 points, and a 9th level slot inflicts 5. Miraculum Level: 10 Craft: All Art: Variable Components: V Casting Time: 1 Action Range: Self Duration: Instantaneous All spells draw in limited form this most powerful of all spells, An extremely powerful Wish, Miraculum is capable of duplicating any spell or combination of spells of any level below itself as long as the total sell slot levels total less than the caster’s level of 19 or 20. The spells are cast and take effect simultaneously. Thus two Wishes and a Magic Missile could all be cast at once by a 19th level caster with one Miraculum, or an extraordinary and a standard, or nineteen Magic missile spells, or 19 different 1st level spells, or 5five 2nd level, two 4th level and a 1st , and so on. Wish and Miraculum Costs Although no material costs are involved in duplicating spells extra energy is required for those with personal costs such extraordinary Wishes. There is no cost for a Wish duplicating a spell of 8th level or lower. The cost for producing the listed extraordinary effects is 1 point of Exhaustion. A Wish that accomplishes more than this causes any spell cast thereafter to inflict 1d10 points of necrotic damage upon the caster per level until the end of a long rest as well as their Strength dropping to 3 for 2d4 days with each day spent resting reducing the total recovery time needed by 2 days. There is also a 33% chance of being unable to cast this spell again until a new level is gained. These costs are incurred if duplicated by Miraculum in addition to the exhaustion and mental shock of the Miraculum spell itself. Casting Miraculum requires a Constitution save and a Willpower saving throw at a DC equal to the total number of spell slot levels duplicated. Failing the Constituion save inflicts 3 points of Exhaustion, successfully saving inflicts 2, a critical success inflicts 1, and a critical failure inflicts 6. Failing the Willpower save inflicts Long-term madness with a critical failure making it indefinite, a success reducing it to short-term, and a critical success avoiding it completely. Permanency Level: 7 (Ritual Only) Craft: Magecraft Art: Grey Components: V, S Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: Self Targets: One spell Duration: Permanent Casting this ritual causes the caster’s next spell to gain a permanent duration as long as it’s duration isn’t instantaneous. If it is, the ritual is wasted. Otherwise the caster donates qi to preserve the next spell weave inflicting upon themselves 1 point of Exhaustion per 2 slot levels of spell made permanent, rounded up, with a Constitution save at DC15 to half this, rounding down, and a critical failure resulting in double the points inflicted. Placebo Level: 0 Craft: Necromancy Art: White Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Duration: instantaneous With a touch an a comforting word, the caster delivers a small jolt of qi to trigger the creature’s placebo response enabling it to immediately spend 1HD of its HD pool to heal itself.
- 130. 128 Power Circle Creation(Ritual Only, Lost) Level: 7 Craft: Enchantment Art: White Components: V, S Casting Time: 2 hours per standing stone, altar, or obelisk Range: Touch Targets: Two “stones “plus two per participant Duration: permanent Lost to standard selection and discovery, this ritual requires 1d4+1d6 times as much research to develop followed by a DC25 Arcana check to determine success. This complex exhausting ritual requires 1 master rank caster of the same class per two “stones” multiple casters able to cast the ritual, working together to build a power circle, also known as Faerie Circles and stone circles. They may be made of single pieces of stone, crystal, conductive metal, or living wood of a minimum of 5’ wide 10’ high and 2 ½ ‘ thick, each “stone” actually two standing posts menhirs and a capstone lintel. The circle may be Hallowed to a deity if it contains an altar dedicated to that Power, the Hallow and attached spell becoming permanent on the circle site. This is in addition to one of the following purposes, each of which requires a certain number of stones and possibly an obelisk at least 20’ and 5’ wide at the base, denoted by the runes and symbols engraved/carved into each: Type Purpose and Effect Stones Required Amplification Spells cast within the circle are increased in spell slot level 11 + 4 per slot level increase Art All casters within circle of the attuned Art have their casting level, but not knowledge or abilities, increased while inside the circle. 14 + 4 for each caster level increased Type Purpose and Effect Stones Required Casting Casters within circle have advantage on Concentration checks and are linked through the obelisk to each other’s spells able to cast them as if their own, using them up normally as far as preparation or uses. 11 + 4 for each caster that can link to obelisk Craft All casters within circle of the attuned Craft have their casting level, but not knowledge or abilities, increased while inside the circle. 14 + 4 for each caster level increased Dreaming For each caster in the circle feeding the obelisk, one caster level is added to the one drawing upon it 11 + 2 for each caster able to link to the obelisk Spell Attach one spell to the circle enabling it to be activated within the circle at the cost of the spell slot or as little as a cantrip. 11 + 2 per slot level of attached spell and 2 for each slot reduction in the level required for activation Witching One or more Metamagic abilities may be attached and applied to any spell cast within the circle. More than one at a time per spell is possible. 11 + 4 for each Metamagic attached; Upon completion, all casters must make a DC20 Willpower save or be afflicted with Long term madness, short term on success and indefinite upon a critical failure. Draws ley energy through obelisk. Attuning the Circle requires that all involved be of the same TYPE in regards to the Art or Craft specialty involved. All must cast the ritual and any involved spells. Although they draw some energy from sunlight and other radiation, Circles must be built near or on a natural power source such as a large river, waterfall, volcano, windswept peak, surf-pounded coast, geyser, or fault line. Drawing qi from a ley line allows two less stones to be used in the construction with a ley crossing dropping it by 2 stones plus 2 per line involved. At the end of the ritual all involved must make a DC25 Constitution saving throw or take 3 points of Exhaustion, 1 if they succeed and 6 on a critical failure. Totem Pole Creation (Ritual Only) Level: 5 Craft: Enchantment Art: White Components: V, S, M
- 131. 129 Casting Time: 12hours once pole is carved starting at midnight and raising the pole at noon Range: Touch Targets: one ten-foot tree-trunk pole Duration: Permanent Usable only by illuminati, this ritual allows the crafting of a wooden pole craved with the totemic images of one to seven of the Totems. These may be all the same, a mixture, or all different. Each is contributed by an illuminatus of that Totem. Each mage links that Totem’s power to the pole and the pole is placed on the perimeter or in the centre of an area to be protected. This grants several effects: The pole is able to Summon Totem as per the illuminatus who enchanted it, at the level that they were at the time of enchantment. The Totem can be summoned to guard the area and attack anyone who intrudes or otherwise defend the area. The pole can be linked to those living in the area at the time of rising by putting the blood of each family on each representation. This allows them to activate its abilities and fall under the Totem’s protection. The Totem can go up to 1 mile/ 2 levels of the illuminatus from the pole without being dispelled. Each representation can summon a Totem once per day, recharged by the rising suns. Touching the pole can bestow each Totem’s Blessing once per day per each person linked, recharged by the rising suns. Touching the pole can act as a Bard’s rest- shorting ability once per day per representation, recharged by the rising suns. The pole can Inspire those linked to it as a bard once per day per representation in a 30’ radius per representation, recharge by the rising suns. Forbidden Rituals These spells occur only as rituals that must be researched or discovered by those wishing to employ them. Possession of Mummification is punishable by life imprisonment and Qi Rape and Grimoire Creation by death. Forbidden rituals don’t require the Ritual Casting ability if they are listed as allowed for the class on the Spell Conversion Chart. Grimoire Creation Grimoire Creation is the 5th level Black Magecraft ritual that use a special form of Commune along with a special form of Commune with Nature to contact the god Pan and the ley lines of Aldyryc at the same time in order to draw knowledge and power from both and craft a copy of the Witch’s Grimoire, Necronomicon, containing the ritual for gaining the Witchcraft feat. It requires the component for both Commune spells, a blank spellbook., and enough ink and materials for two 5th level spells and one 8th , along with the cost of transcribing a ritual (as per warlock). It takes ten hours of work for eight straight days, at the end of which the creator must make a DC25 Wisdom save or go permanently insane as per Witchcraft. Priests of Pan are able to choose this spell as part of their normal Priestcraft list. Lycanthropy Lycanthrope is the 6th level Black Priestcraft ritual originally used by Paholja’s witches to curse criminals before exiling them to neighbouring lands. Taking ten minutes, this ritual summons a barghest demon to possess the lycanthrope and remain dormant until the Faces of the Moon when it manifests fully. The lycanthrope can try to resist the manifestation with Wisdom save at the following DC: White Maiden DC25, Night of Light DC30 Grey Matron DC20, Night of Shadows DC25 Black Crone DC15, Night of Darkness DC20 Saves are made upon moonrise, at the beginning and end of the Witching Hour, and every hour during the three Nights of Power. Only moonset ends the manifestation without also killing the lycanthrope, as is the case when the demon is brought to zero hit points. The bite and claws of the barghest spread the curse which can only be broken by casting Remove Cure on the Lycanthrope as they drink deadly wolfs bane at moonrise. If the lycanthrope survives a Constitution save at DC25 and the Removal succeeds (treat as if using Dispel Magic), the rising moon will not trigger the manifestation and the curse is ended. If the removal fails, the barghest manifests. If the save fails, the lycanthrope dies and the barghest is set free, having to immediately possess anyone touching the lycanthrope or be banished from the Mortal Sphere. Werewolves do not bear detectable traces of magic as a result of the curse. It takes the ability to detect a shapeshifter or a spell like True Seeing to recognize the demon within. Only Anthropoids are affected by Lycanthropy. Mummification Mummification the 6th level Black Necromancy ritual with a three-hour casting time used to create a mummy, statistically a 5e Lich, for the cost of the
- 132. 130 phylactery and 5000gpin materials. Priests of Orcus can take this spell as one of their normal spell choices. The caster’s active involvement is only required for the first half hour of the ritual if they are becoming a lich. After this another ritual caster may take over. This firs period involves the preparation of the phylactery by dedicating it to Orcus and the creation of a pellet made of the subject’s blood, exotic rare herbs, mandrake root, and dark qi. Some of the mixture is used to escribe ritual runes on the phylactery, which is typically a gem, piece of jewellery, statuette, staff, scroll tube, orb, or ornate box. Then the subject must be chained down as they will remain conscious and able to feel the entire thing. The rest of the ceremony grants the subject Strength saves with advantage against restraints every ten minutes until the end as well as advantage on strength- based attacks. At the end of the ritual, the subject must make a Charisma save at DC25 or be stricken by short- term madness. If they fail by more than 10 they suffer long-term madness and indefinite madness on a critical failure. The subject is anointed with rare oils and herbs then covered with sigils and runes of Dark Speech. At this point a Geas is cast to control the mummy if desired, along with Antipathy or Antilife Shell as a protection. This includes a pentagram around the belly button and an inverted pentagram over the heart. A knife is used to slice the lines of the inverted pentagrams to the muscle and then cut the entire circle out to the bone, revealing the heart. The pellet is dropped between the ribs beside the heart where the continual chanting transforms it into a red mist that enters the beating heart and transforms it into mist that leaves the body and sinks into the phylactery, granting the phylactery the full total of the subject’s hit points, the ability to rest as if having its own HD equal to the mummy’s, Immunity to P/S and Necrotic, and Resistance to Acid, Fire, Cold, Lightning, Thunder, and Bludgeoning attacks that aren’t adamantine, as well as Vulnerability to Radiant damage. The phylactery shares the subjects saving throws and magical defenses as well as the aura of Crypt emitting it in pulses that require a save each round exposed. This begins the replacement of its blood with dark qi. The pentagram is then cut from the abdomen and organ removal started from the colon up to the lungs. The tongue is removed before the eyes and then the brain is pulled out through the nose in pieces. Each organ is placed in its own canopic jar inscribed with runes identical to those on the body. At this point, its flesh mummifies and the subject can be released to destroy the organ jars in the order filled, the last jar completing the ritual and ending the pain. Driven to the end the pain, the mummy doesn’t become aware and in control until this moment. The result of the ritual’s interruption depends on the timing of the interruption. Should the casting end before the heart circle is cut from the subject’s chest there are no adverse consequences except for having to get new materials, cleanse the phylactery with a Dispel Evil, and start over. The circle is open for 1 round after the removal of flesh, the pellet dropped in the next round, and the conversion occurs on the third. If interrupted after the circle is removed but before the pellet converts the heart, the subject suffers 25% of their maximum hit point total in damage, is Stunned for 1d4 rounds, gains 2 points of Exhaustion, and starts bleeding 5 hit points per round. If the ritual is interrupted at any point between the heart transforming and the destruction of the final canopic jar, the subject immediately becomes a standard ghoul. Qi Rape Qi rape is a 5th level Black Necromancy ritual that involves the slaying of an intelligent creature in rode ot harvest a portion of its qi by stripping away part of its spirit as leaves the body, forever taking away part of its being, memories, and personality. Each level/HD possessed by the victim produces 2 sorcerous points usable by any spell-casting class. The qi requires a polished Jet, also called Soul Stone, engraved with arcane symbols of at least 100gp value for each point of storage capacity, to a maximum capacity per piece of 40 sorcerous points, all collected at once from the same victim. Such stones sell for 2 times their value per 2 stored points, rounded up. Soul Stone possession gets at least a life sentence. Qi rape requires an hour to perform. Victims cannot be Raised or Reincarnated, requiring Resurrection to restore lives, personalities, and memories. Victims return to life with an XP debt of - 2500xp (-1500xp for a Wish, -500xp for an extraordinary Wish) that must be eliminated before any positive XP is accumulated and must make a DC20 Charisma save or suffer as per Witchcraft. Priests of Cthulhu, Orcus, and Pazuzu, can choose this spell as one of their normal spell choices. Planar Keys Those native planar entities with a spell-casting class or abilities are inherently mystics Keyed to their plane, full or partial.

Full priests have access to two of their choice from the covenant selection. Formal spells are spontaneously called upon spell-like abilities that require the same casting time as the spell but do not require components or preparation. A long rest restores their use. In selection Forms and Aspects, no one character may possess he same Form twice or a Form and an Aspect of that same Form, although multiple Aspects of a Form are permissible. This is regardless of whether the forms are gained as a druid, priest, or paragon. A priest can only change Forms by making a new covenant with a different god, normally viewed as a 3rd or 4th degree offense by the abandoned Power. Paragon Paragons exemplify Forms or Aspects, the typical simple paragon personifying one, the rare advanced paragon two, and complex paragons such a rangers and paladins three or more with their abilities and powers interwoven into a full spell selection and class abilities. No paragon accesses the same Form or any of its Aspects more than once. At the DM’s discretion a character may be “born” a paragon at creation having gained the ability in childhood adolescence or perhaps still discovering it. A paragon can also be made later in life by purchasing the Form as if it were a feat, but the character must have exemplified the Form for at least 1 level beforehand. Gods can also declare a paragon and grant the feat, whether the character as yet earned the title or the god decides they will. This is completely at the DM’s discretion. Paragons are usually important to the story line, possibly gaining and losing their abilities throughout their lives as they struggle to live up to the example they once set. Some paragons, like priests, change their attuned Form through behaviour or because of a god’s actions. Bringing a paragon into the game is always a story choice and should never just be a simple mechanical option. Air You can manipulate lightning, mist, and wind, traffic with air creatures, and are resistant to electricity damage. Granted Powers: Lightning Arc (Sp): As a standard action, you can unleash an arc of electricity targeting any foe within 30 feet as a ranged touch attack. This arc of electricity deals 1d6 points of lightning damage + 1 point for every two priest levels you possess. Usable once, this ability recharges on a 5 or 6 on d6.

At 12th level you are able to meld with the air enough to dwell comfortably and move through it in any direction at your normal Speed. At 16th level you can shapechange into an air elemental and at 20th level this ability is recharged after a short rest. Form Spells: 1st —energetic blast (lightning only), 2nd — gust of wind, 3rd —wind wall, 4th —conjure minor elemental (air), 5th —conjure elemental (air), 6th — conjure elemental (air) , 7th — plane shift (Air realm or Material only), 8th —conjure elemental (Air), 9th — meteor swarm (lightning instead of fire).

Be one with the cycle or it will roll over you. Kill or be killed. Eat or be eaten. Mate in between. This is life. Grab it by the testicles and live it to the full.

Age rumbles in the distance or gives way underfoot, either way sweeping you to irresistible entombment. No sense fighting it. Even titans turn stiff and cold. The emptiness howls for us all, filling our blood until we feel nothing. Be grateful for the numbing slumber. There is no sustenance to be found in the wasteland. Even hope stops visiting. Everything dies around you and you wait to join them. Waiting becomes the only purpose until purposes cease to have meaning. Retreat into childhood.

Weave carefully; subtly tugging strands to test their strength. Secrets and sins are the ties that bind. The sisterhood will not be passively submissive.

The word began the story, play your role as scripted by the past and improvise with the future. If you are sensitive it makes a great partner in the action. It is your memoir of your part in the play of the Ages. Live your story and share it will the world. The outsider reveals much that are hidden from insiders except in dreams. There is beauty, horror, ugliness and virtue in the word. Reveal them all and pull your audience in, a good story being as merciless as gravity.

Deacons and priests must be absolved before renewing covenant, if necessary, by a priest of at 1 rank higher. All absolution except for minor infractions requires a deed and/or sacrifice of contrition. Consecration: used to bless 1 vial of anointing oil, flask of holy water, or divine symbol plus 1 per 2HD or 1 altar Excommunication: the greatest punishment is stripping of membership, acceptance, and banishment from the religion, often accompanied by execution Funeral: all religions have some method of marking the passing of life into afterlife and dealing with corpses of the faithful; available to deacons; Anubis, Rawna, and Sorvah, are the religions most typically turned to by those outside their religions, listed in order of popularity. A dead anthropoid that goes without funeral rites risks rising on the Night of Darkness as a ghost (2-19) or revenant (1 or 20) if death saves are failed as per dying. Initiation: although forms and methods vary by religion, all have some ritual to grant entry into the religion and acceptance by the Power involved; available to deacons Marriage: all religions that believe in a permanent unified relationship between two or more partners practice some form of this; available to deacons; Ishtar, Wicca, Anubis, Charon, and Mercury, are the religions most typically turned to by those outside their religions, listed in order of popularity Ordination: deacons and priests require ordination to seal their covenants with their Powers Worship Service: frequent and routine to extremely rare and special, all religions practice some form of ritualized worship service to give thanks and praise to their Power and build a community among the faithful; available to deacons Covenants Divine Covenants include Scripture, the central ideological outlook and obligation committed to by the priesthood holder in return for Boons granted by the Power. Failure to follow the scripture results in los of access to all covenant Forms and Boons until the covenant is renewed, typically after an act of contrition. Although they must fulfill the Scripture, deacons do no gain the Boons for 8th or 12th level. Like divine energy channelling, divine intervention, and access to two of the listed Forms, these are limited to full priests. All covenants enable the covenanter to use Commune as a bonus 0 level spell except for those with Bahamut, Tiamat, and Merlyn. No one truly knows who or what responds in these three cases, the first believed to be dead and the third missing and maybe dead. These three covenants provide Contact Other Plane as a bonus 0 level spell. Contacting Merlyn comes with disadvantage against the risk of psychic damage. Thus, these three gods are rarely consulted directly although all boons, spells, and Forms are available. as long as the covenant is obeyed. All covenants require a yearly ceremony and sacrifice to renew the commitment made by both sides. This usually takes place on the same day as the original covenant and may be a day holy to the power. Renewal sacrifices always involve tithing 1% of total wealth per level. Many include a blood sacrifice, either a symbolic self-cutting for a good power or the bleeding-out of a living animal for others. Dark powers often demand anthropoid sacrifices. The ceremony can be simple meditation and prayer to a grand event participated in by all priesthood holders and faithful. The renewal takes a minimum of 10 minutes per level. Typically the monetary sacrifice is donated to the church with at least half placed in a sacrificial brazier, pit, or bonfire, with
- 180. 178 any blood andbody. Once lit, the power’s divine energy consumes the sacrifices completely. Blood Sacrifices Blood sacrifices are marked as to any specific type that may be required, such as “Self” or “Anthropoid Male”. Blood sacrifices require either 2 hit points per level of self-inflicted Slashing damage or the death of a creature of a size category determined by the rank category of the priesthood holder: Apprentice (1-4) = 1 Tiny Adept (5-8) = 1 Small or 1 Tiny Expert (9-12) = 1 Small plus 1 Tiny or 1 Medium Master (13-16) = 1 Medium or 2 Small Archmaster (17-20) = 1 Medium plus 1 Small or 1 Large Ill Omens Offending a covenant by going against the word and spirit of its scripture comes with degrees of punishment that serve as warnings if the offense is not severe, that severe the covenant if severe enough or enough infractions have occurred. Powers reveal their displeasure through a range of ill omens given directly to their priesthood holders. Most Powers allow up to nine 1st Degree Offenses, three 2nd Degrees, or one 3rd Degree before considering the covenant broken. 1st Degree Omen: Covenanter gets a headache that makes a Spell Casting check necessary as if Priestcraft is a Neglected Craft until the end of a short rest. 2nd Degree Omen: Covenanter gains 1 point of Exhaustion. 3rd Degree Omen: All access to covenant Forms and Boons as well as Priestcraft spells is cut-off. 4th Degree Omen: as 3rd degree but also comes with a bolt of divine energy from the blue at the god’s level of Power. This usually signifies the end of all covenant possibilities with that Power. Special Sacrifices Performing a sacrifice at times other than for renewal doubles the priest’s level when rolling for Divine Intervention immediately following. This takes the normal time for the renewal sacrifice. Some evil powers delight in stealing priests and worshippers from other powers, particularly good or lawful deities. They do this by taking over the convent and replacing it with their own when the priest or worshippers falls without repentance or becomes hypocritical. Lowyatar often takes over the covenants of the priests in the Ethernian Inquisition. Covenanted with Anubis they believe the enforce Sirsyr’s Law with use of torture and executions, the joy some taking in it attracting Lowyatar attention and approval as Anubis slowly turns away. Pazuzu will joyfully steal anyone’s priest, given the chance and his name spoken three times in a row. Prayers Powers respond to the prayers of their worshippers, but not always when or as desired. Any member of a religion, including those in the priesthood, may at any time pray to their god. This is either and action or a 10 minute ritual depending on whether divine intervention or communion is the goal. A worship receive the guidance of a Commune spell after 10 minutes of focused concentration, mediation and prayer, if they make a Prayer check by rolling d20 against DC25 minus 1 to the DC per 1HD possessed. They may, as an action, pray for Divine Inspiration by making a Prayer check against DC25 minus 1 per 2HD, rounded down. If the worshipper is actively serving the Power’s purposes or on a direct quest for such the Prayer check is made with proficiency. If the worshipper has been especially good and faithful in regards to the covenant scripture the check is made with advantage. A non-worshipper has a DC25 Prayer check to receive on type of Divine Inspiration but will only receive one response until they join the religion. Divine Inspiration takes the form of granted Inspiration or a spell effect of a slot level no higher than what a priest of an equal HD could cast drawn from one of the Power’s accessible Forms. Unlike a worshipper, the non-worshipper can be of any alignment but the act of praying to a Power tends to move one toward Power’s alignment, especially if successful. The Children of the Reformation During the Age of Reformation created by the First Chaos Wave, late-blooming Horus, Ishtar, and Isis, left the Tree of Life. The rest of the Young Gods followed from existing godly parents or newly sprouted buds. Artemis is centaur result of a challenge given to a drunken Thor by Loki to father a child with the Merciless Mother, Kali-Set.. Amon-Re, Apollo, Mercury, Osiris, and Thrym are the sons of Ra and KI. Anubis sprang from the forehead of Athena the Virgin in the Immaculate Conception. Artemis and Thor are the children of Odin and Xondra. Bacchus and Calypso are the children of KI and Oberon.
- 181. 179 Charon andMerlin are the sons of Rawna and Marduk. Hades and Zeus and are the sons of Loki and Vulcan. Kali-Set was produced by Cthulhu raping KI. Lowyatar and Xoll’X were conceived by Pazuzu seducing and raping Ishtar. Pan is the son of Titania and Oberon. Satanael’s parents are Xoll’X and Cthulhu. The Furies are the daughters of Azathoth and Lowyatar. Demigods Beings just below or partially divine, demigods don’t possess divine powers or answer prayers, but may have superhuman abilities, talents, bodies, minds, longevity, or agelessness (etc.). First Light pushed back the Abyss, hatching the Incarnations of Eden from the Egg. The next instant, darkness and a cacophony of wailing, howling, snarling, and growling, engulfed the Ravens, Huginn (Thought) and Muninn (Memory). Filled with the carrion of Bahamut, their droppings fertilized the new earth. Yggdrasil sprouted full of brilliant light, the Tree of Life growing exponentially by the instant, branches and roots chasing its radiance, sprouting and spreading vegetation of every type. Together the Ravens sang the Word, “Om,” the Song of the Questing Beast summoning the gleaming hope and wonder of the White Hart from the trunk of the Tree of Life, its primary defense against the demons and darkness. The Ravens bore the Seven Companions (Bear, Bull, Cat, Coyote, Eagle, Fox, and Owl) to help the Hart and guide the Elder Gods when they emerged from Yggdrasil’s ripe pods. Before the Antha, the gods tested the Cauldron by combining Eden’s primordial material Elements – Air, Earth, Fire, Water – with the Element of Spirit. This created the Primal Elementals, also called the Primevals. However, the gods found them to be too simple and their spirits too easy to detect, even after using them to produce a variety of more advanced offspring, including the four original races of Djinn. So, they tried combining all five into the Primeval known as the Tempest. Wild and dangerous, they ended the experiment without reproducing the storm elemental. Next they tried animals with a separation called the Veil between spirit and body, creating the Antha. All five Primevals are said to still exist. The First Chaos Wave and the Reformation caused Cat to bear the Puk and Cheshyir, progenitors of Faerie Lynxes, also called Elven Cats, Forest Phantoms, and Displacer Beasts. Both are intelligent, witty, and mischievous with feline charm. Known for occasional kindness, Puk is Oberon’s animal companion while mind- gamer Cheshyir is Pan’s. Leonine Abyl and the White Tiger, Kayn, along with the other surviving rakshiri and rakshasa elders, were elevated by the First Chaos Wave. The rakshasa elders and their lesser generations move among their anthropoid descendants in false shapes to manipulate, exploit, torture, and kill, unable to hide only their backwards- bending fingers. The twenty-one rakshiri elders never produced new generations, instead withdrawing to Faerie and the ruins of Zyon Eden’s only city, where the Book of Life is kept. The Weird Sisters were born in the Reformation, the Old Hag, the Baba Yaga, and Medusa, living nightmares of Abaddon. Orcus produced night hag daughters with the Old Hag, then gorgon daughters with Medusa, before approaching the Baba Yaga only to be rejected. Returning with his Black Cauldron as a gift, she took it and fled cackling on the legs of her hut. Pazuzu and the Old Hag also produced children known alternatively as incubi and succubi, able to assume the appearance and sex they desire. They dwell in the Shadowlands of the Dreamtime near Abaddon, outside the Demon Wall. Thor, known as the All-Father, is the most prolific producer of demigods. His taste for human women gave him sons Mars, Gilgamesh, Glooskap, Heracles, Theseus, Perseus, Jason, Genghis, Cuhullin, Achilles, Attila, Balder, Tyr, Heimdallr, Rasputin, Conan, Kensei, Hermes, Goliath, Hector, Kurgan, Othello, Sun Tzu, and Madmartigan, as well as his daughters Sonja, Xena, Desdemona, Brigit, Frigga, Hera, Morríghan, Myrina, Otrere, Antiope, Melanippe, Penthesileia, Melanippe, Glauce, and Hippolyta. It is possible the blood of Thor runs in Dorek. Anubis fathered Confucius, Hammurabi, and Solomon. Apollo is the father of Lucifer, Dian Cecht, and Hippocrates. Artemis is the mother of Orion and Dianna.
- 182. 180 Athena andthe Syrraqan woman Nahala are the virgin mothers of Sirsyr, a demigod who Ascended as First Paladin. Ishtar is mother of Persephone, Calliope, Aphrodite, Venus, Paris, Helen, Lothario, Juan, Ganymede, Selene, Narcissus, and Oedipus. Kali-Set self-conceived three daughters called the Furies, as well as Cerberus, Fenrir, Garmr, Jabberwocky, Pegasus, Quetzalcoatl, and Sleiphnir Loki is known to be the mother of Pandora, founder of the Witchland of Paholja and creator of the curse of Lycanthrope. Odin is the father of the foresighted cyclops Phoebe with the titan Euryale and the Hekatonkheir, Kottos, with her sister titan Stheno, the daughters of Uranus. Kottos and Phoebe are the parents of ettins. Pan is the father of Puck. Titania is the mother of fraternal-twin mystics, Viviane and Morgana. Wicca the Midwife is mother of Gaia, Enkidu, and Prometheus. The Elite The most powerful demons and Hellspawn found that they could parasitically draw power from those with whom they formed occult pacts modelled after divine covenants, intended as recruitment tools for their personal hoards and armies. The elite entity would grant a wish in exchange for a pact of eternal service. Through these pacts they gained worshippers and cults that expanded their power into the divine, literally feeding their pride. The Ascended There are prophesized to be seven ascended to arise before the eighth unlocks the dreams of the dead queen and the ninth emerges from the shadows to herald the Last Stand at the End of Ages: The first two were Pandis and Sorvah, pündi brothers who ascended because they caused and were exposed to the 2nd Chaos Wave while touching the Keystone of Reality. Twin brother and sister dwarves, Axvin and Hexxis were cursed for starting the Faerie Wars with immortality and inseparability, unable to die or be apart over long distances or extended periods. At midsummer, Thorin received a vision of the Spear of Destiny and Holy Grail of the Suns, beginning the quest that led him, Mielikki, and Shaykspeyr, to the Entarys to retrieve a seed and plant the first Faewood, creating the first elf Hold. Achieving the Atonement in the names of the dwarf twins allowed them to ascend, still inseparable rivals. Shakespeare’s later death after her exploits and numerous famous works of art, poetry, song, and literature, including her seminal A Midsummer Night’s Dream, earned a following that allowed her ascension as the Bard. Sirsyr, First Exemplar, died of poison and a fall shortly after ending the Drake War by petrifying the Drake First with Qaldon. Although he lost sword and life, his many noble deeds and fame allowed him to ascend with Athena’s blessing. Velkiri’s Feminist Revolution not only succeeded in liberating women but founded Gor and sparked Joan of Arc’s revolution in Ganis for the price of being burned at the stake. Engulfed, she ascended as a phoenix of silver flame. Her Silverlock paragons first appeared a few years later to help Joan in Ganis and carry on after she met a similar fiery fate without ascension.

Entry is barred to Powers except through avatars. Spirits of the newly dead wait in the Ethereal Plane for the Gates of Immortality to open during the Witching Hour of the last night of each month, allowing them pass into the Immortal Sphere and the Afterlife. Some cling to life, unwilling or unable to recognize their state and leave. A spirit can hold on up to thirty days after ignoring the Gates. Clinging longer requires such twisted passion and dark depth of intention that it draws upon dark qi willing provided by Orcus for this purpose. Rawna’s reapers guard the spirits pf the dead and the Gates but don’t prevent the willing acceptance of darkness. On the Night of Darkness, spirits who cling on to life rise as ghosts during the Witching Hour. Material Mortal Terrestrial The Physical Universe Ethereal Mortal Terrestrial The Spiritworld divided by perspective into Paradise, Limbo, and Purgatory. Formerly Eden, the Immortal Sphere is encased in a shell formed by the Earth Realms, the ground of the Faerie Realms with the Celestial Realms forming the central sun of the hollow sphere’s sky, the Air Realm. The Celestial Realms are parts of Yggdrasil or inside its trunk. The Immortal Sphere is dominantly physical and orderly, where spirit and body combine and magic effects are limited in scope and power by the inflexibility of reality, becoming fixed, determined, entropic history inside the Keystone.

Reached from the Plaza of Remembrance by a thirty- foot diameter arched tunnel several miles long, the cavern is filled by Kokytos, Mists of Despair, and the glassy dark waters of the Styx, with the Ilse of Tranquility at its centre, formed around the Keystone of Reality. Cerberus guards the entrance and Charon is Ferryman of the Styx and Cerberus has guarded the entrance since the 2nd Chaos Wave. Cerberus has three identical black collars that glow with red runes and Charon carries the Staff of the Word, black with glowing red runes identical to those on the collars. All were crafted by the Council of Powers to grant them a Power Rank above Apex when executing their Scripture. The Staff and each head’s mouth can shoot a red ray up to 120’ that sends targets into the Styx if they fail a DC30 Charisma save. They also tune in on the all True Names within 120’ giving Cerberus and Charon the benefits of possession against their owners. The Staff also grants access to the Keystone with Exhaustion only incurred on a critical failure. Any entity other than Cerberus or the serving Ferryman that attempts to use them is consumed by divine energy beyond Apex power. The entrance has a raised crystal border inscribed with runes comprehensible by all intelligent entities. “Abandon all trickery and force, the price is a life paid each way. The Styx collects every debt. Break the Oath and abandon hope.” The tunnel opens on a narrow crystal beach that stretches about a mile along the wall in both directions. Kokytos fills the cavern from the water to the ceiling two miles above. Entities entering the Mist are filled with such despair that they plunge themselves into the Styx if they fail a Wisdom save at DC30 made every round exposed. The Styx traps entities that touch it that fail a DC30 Charisma save. Trapped creatures float forever in waking stasis, unable to even close their eyes and shut out the sight of the surface forever close yet out of reach. The Collars and Staff, like all major arcane artefacts, are not affected by the magic level limits of the Immortal Sphere. Only the Staff or the Ankh can cure the indefinite madness caused by Kokytos, or free an Styx prisoner without cosmic destruction. The Styx forms a thirteen-mile wide moat around the three-mile diameter barren crystal Isle of Tranquility and its mile and a half high dome of clear, still air. The mile-high, two-mile wide ultramarine crystal hemisphere of the Keystone of Reality rises from the centre of the Isle, a jet of radiant qi blasting from the top into the mist, the upper half of the Inner Valve of the Heart of Existence. Built of the afterimages of the past, the Keystone serves as a record of history from the 1st Chaos Wave to the instant previous to the present. Touching the Keystone allows communion with the past that can be used to ask any one question about anything in the past (including what the Apex gods were thinking) or to make alterations in the foundation of the present. Each question requires a Willpower Check at a DC dependant on the obscurity of the information with recent information being 5 points lower than listed (0 = only a 1 fails). A critical failure results in a headache that grants the Poisoned condition until a long rest removes it. The DCs are as follows : Common DC5 Uncommon DC 10 Rare DC15 Very Rare DC20 Secret/Thought DC25 Unknown/Unique DC30 Each time the Isle is visited, each entity may touch the Keystone once. While contact is maintained, the entity can use up to 32 Miraculum as a Supreme Power, breaking contact ending the ability. Additional
- 186. 184 contact requires aConstitution save at DC30 to avoid being absorbed into the Keystone until a Keystone Miraculum releases them. Success tosses the entity back as if hurled by Telepathy. Each Miraculum performed requires a DC20 Constitution save to avoid 1 point of Exhaustion. The only safe way across the Styx is the Ferry. Made of yggdracite, the pündi name for the clear blue crystal of Yggdrasil, anyone touching the Ferry is protected from Kokytos for as long as contact is maintained. Large enough for 10 large-sized creature or 20 medium, the Ferry slides across the motionless surface of the Styx on its own power as directed through the Staff of the Word at a speed of 3 miles per hour, unloading after 4 hours and 20 minutes. Passage to the Isle requires the passenger telling their life story without lying once or a single intentional omission. Return passage requires serving in Charon’s place as Ferryman for one lifetime, defined as the entire maximum lifespan of the race. During this time the Staff prevents the Ferryman from aging and gives them the same grey-cloaked skeletal ancient male appearance as Charon while Charon is out enjoying life outside Acheron. Breaking the Oath of the Styx, taken by the replacement Ferryman, condemn the breaker to the Styx. A Ferryman so condemned causes the Staff to appear in Charon’s hands just before the Styx takes them. Ordinary Oath breakers are collected by Charon any time between immediately and their arrival in the Qohlahb after death, depending on how much he wants them to sweat about it first, or if he wants to snatch them from the doorway of their Afterlife. The elder of Rawna and Marduk’s two sons, Merlin’s brother Charon appears an ancient man in tattered grey robes, hood raised around a head withered skeletal, long strands of thin white hair hanging from chalky scalp over a hairless face with milky white eyes., boney hands gripping the Staff. Known as the Ferryman, the Boatman, the Knight of the Word, the Oath Keeper, and the Grim Reaper because he never looks less than dour, it is said that when not bearing staff he appears as a spritely, handsome, joyous, charming, hedonistic young man with thick rich raven locks. Beyond Reality There are three regions of the Existential Continuum that are universally deadly, two beyond the cosmic Spheres and one between. The Maelstrom is also known as the Realm of Madness and Plane of Paradox, Outer Darkness as the Primal Night, and the Void as the Emptiness of Being. Arriving in any of the three regions causes Disorientation and Existential Terror to even Apex Powers that must be dealt with along with the environmental factors of each. Conflicting Forces: Each round of exposure inflicts 2d10 points of 1d4+1d10 damage types, chosen randomly or by going down the list in order, with Divine Energy as the 14th type. Disorientation: Wisdom save or be Incapacitated until successful, 1 save per round Entropy: Death saves required for all entities and objects, each failure inducing 1 step of Exhaustion, two on a critical failure, disintegrating into the Tao at level 7. Existential Terror: Charisma save of be Paralyzed until successful, 1 save per round with disadvantage if any are critical failures, success drops to Frightened for as long as in region. Paradox: Death saves required inducing Exhaustion steps that affect the mind instead of body: 1. +1 step of Madness 2. +2 Steps off Madness 3. +3 steps of Madness 4. +4 steps of Madness Vacuum: Depressurizing inflicts 2d10 force damage per round, Constitution save to retain held breath or begin Suffocation, with critical failure cutting Constitution bonus in half for time until death.

- 187. 185 Celestial Nodules The SevenHeavens are the concentric layers a spherical crystal nodule about ten times the diameter of Jupiter growing from the top of the trunk of Yggdrasil, each layer honeycombed with ornate passages, grand chambers, and breath-taking gardens, growing brighter and more glorious toward the brilliant core, home of Athena. Growing from the bottom of the trunk amid the black roots the Nine Hells grow darker toward the core cavern lair of Satanael, Kali-Set, and Asmodeus. Unlike the other nodules, the Karmic Wheel grows around the midpoint of the trunk in a thick wide ring called the Cosmic Hub, extending the Five Spokes of Dharma across the Central Divide to the Inner Circle before extended out to the Outer Rim. Honeycombed like the layers of Heaven and Hell, the top of the Wheel is worked into the broad streets, colossal buildings, and towering monuments of pure polished gold that mark the Celestial City of Qohlahb. The Wheel is divided into five Wedges, one for each Faction with its own Dharma path to the Cosmic Hub where the Plaza of Remembrance separates the Council Hall from the Celestial Courts, the Mouth of Acheron yawning between them in the great trunk. The Shadow Spoke leads from the Plaza, across the Central Divide and the Inner Circle Avenue of the Shadow Wedge to Pi Square and the Divine Palace of Rawna and Marduk. Dimensional Bubbles Forming in or between the space-time fabrics of the Spheres and also called demi-planes, dimensional bubbles are typically microscopic, independent, protean, pseudo realities with their own internal relativity of scale, making the exterior size irrelevant to the internal. Entering the bubble scales the individual to that of the bubble’s space-time. The individual may perceive the bubble expanding up to seven miles in radius but it is the scale of the perceiver that alters. Thus and atomic exterior may contain an interior up to fourteen miles in diameter. Dreamweavers utilize them as vaults, sanctuaries, observation posts, homes, prisons, and to experience altered rates of time’s effects. Only those with the ability, knowledge, and power, can access and manipulate dimensional bubbles. The first access of a random bubble attunes the dreamweaver to that bubble enabling repeated access; otherwise specific bubbles are practically impossible to detect. A dreamweaver usually starts by accessing one as a storage location for relatively small items and grows with it until able to create their own secure personalized reality. Having access to more than one is a common practice. The following spells utilize dimensional bubbles, either the same one or one for each: Rope Trick Secure Chest Secure Shelter Tiny Hut Magnificent Mansion The Dreamworld All damage inflicted in the Dreamworld is psychic regardless of listed type except for divine energy damage. It appears as an exact duplicate of the Mortal Sphere that may be alter by willpower as per Planar Malleability. Faerie Geography The Faerie Realms form the inside land surface and starcore shell of the Immortal Sphere with the Celestial Realms as its sun-like core. The following chart lists the geographical features of the shell starting at the northern “pole” and deciding in order to the southern “pole”. The northern pole of the Celestial Star is as bright as the first cresting rays of the suns at its northern pole and an eye of darkness at the southern, casting the southern Faerie Realms into deepening night. The slight precession of the “star” causes some variation in the otherwise constant level of daylight.

The entire surface is paved with polished gold from which massive, gold-sheathed, monumental structures rise. The Outer Rim and the Inner Rim are the broadest thoroughfares in Qohlahb, connected by slightly narrower streets separating the Precincts: 1st Street between Shadow and Darkness, 2nd between Darkness and Rains, 4th between Rains and Flames, 4th Flames and Light, and 5th dividing Light and Shadow. The Celestial Palace occupies the centre of the Shadow Precinct facing Pi Square from which Vector Street leads across the Shadow Path to the Hub. There it opens into the Plaza of Remembrance where the Powers who fell during and since Ragnarok are memorialized. The Celestial Courts face the Celestial

On the opposite side of the Hub is the Hexagon, a sprawling martial monastery with a inner court garden from the entrée of which rises the Iron Rod, tower home of Xondra , Horus, and Anubis. Xondra is in charge of Qohlahb, while Horus commands the Ophanim Legion and Anubis the Xen Guard, the defensive force that polices Qohlahb. The Archon Host serve in Xondra’s Celestial Bureaucracy as well as serving and assisting the gods and their representatives. The Wheel is honeycombed with passages, rooms, and massive chambers like Heaven and Hell. Planar Malleability Due to the malleable reality of the Telestial Realms, it is possible for any mind to shape its environment enabling the at-will use of spell-like abilities that require the same casting time, but no components, and have the same effects as any spell of any type within the level limit of the Sphere. Willpower is used as the casting ability with casting level and proficiency dependent on the plane. Doing so requires a Casting Check at the following DC and modifiers: Dreamworld 8 + 3 per slot level, 2 for cantrips Psychic 8 +2 per slot level, 1 cantrips Astral 7 + 2 pert slot level, 1 cantrips Primal 6 + 2 per slot level , 1 cantrips Natives of the plane get advantage, dreamweavers make the check normally, non-dreamweavers get disadvantage, and those not in self-control, suffering from hallucinations, or afflicted by madness are unable to do so. All damage inflicted in this manner is psychic regardless of listed type. Each successful manipulation requires a Constitution save at the Casting Check DC to avoid incurring 1 point of Exhaustion with a critical failure inflicting 2. Due to their malleable nature, the Telestial realms enhance the power of magic cast within them by 1 slot level in the Psychic Sphere, 2 slot levels in the Astral Sphere, and 3 in the Primal Sphere. The Immortal Sphere’s fixed nature places severe limits on the magic capable within, allowing a maximum of 6th level spells in the Faerie Realms, 3rd level in the Celestial Realms, and cantrips inside Acheron. Although this includes even Apex Powers, minor arcane artefacts aren’t limited to 6th level until the Celestial Realms and 3rd in Acheron, while major artefacts aren’t limited to 6th until Acheron, and cosmic artefacts are unlimited. Planar structure also places limits on certain other spells. Astral Projection and Etherealness only function on the Material plane. Conjurations below 5th level summon sprits from the Psychic Realm using a sort of Shadow Conjuration to given them temporary physical bodies. These do not function in the Immortal Sphere, but those above 4th still do because they summon the real creatures from the actual planes. Temporal Effects Time is the division of static eternity into kinetic instants consisting of a present realized from actualized past and future probabilities drawn from the infinite possibility of the Tao. The relativistic effects of time are driven by the rate of kinetic energy’s movement from quality to entropy. Created at maximum quality it returns to maximum entropy within the Keystone, eventually returning to the Tao or being recycled by the Heart of Existence. The smallest unit of time is the instant, constant and universal. However, the rate of movement from quality to entropy varies as you move from the outside to the core of a cosmic Reality Sphere, Time’s effects occur ten times fast in the Telestial Realms than the Terrestrial Realms and ten times faster in the Mortal Sphere than the Immortal Sphere. Magic Items Unless otherwise noted in their descriptions, magic items that recharge once per day do so at midnight at the beginning of the Witching Hour. Standard magical items are Resistant to all damage types except divine energy. A Minor Arcane Artefact has advantage on all saves, is immune to all damage except Divine, is affected normally by the Void and Maelstrom, and gets Advantage against the effects of Outer Darkness. A Major Artefact fails saves only on a natural 1 (no critical failure), is Resistant to divine energy damage, is affected normally by exposure to the Void, has advantage against the effects of the Maelstrom, and Immunity against those of Outer Darkness. A Cosmic Artefact makes all saves, is immune to all damage as well as the effects of the Maelstrom and Outer Darkness, and has advantage against those of the Void. Resistance and Immunity to divine energy affects repair as well as damage.
- 190. 188 Artefacts & Relics Arelic is an item or structure of ancient technology or magic, the techniques for creating typically lost. Some may be extraordinarily powerful or durable but aren’t Arcane Artefacts. Typically unique, Arcane Artefacts are magical items created through unique circumstances, gods, assemblies of gods, or combined cosmic forces, possessing up to Supreme Rank power, otherwise available only through the Keystone of Reality in Acheron. Arcane Artefacts come in three power levels: Minor, Major, and Cosmic. Minor Artefacts are typically +3 items if applicable, Major Artefacts are +4, and Cosmic Artefacts are +5.

Minor Arcane Artefacts Baba Yaga’s Hut Running through the swamps of the Mirkwood in the Dream Time’s Shadowlands, the bird-legged hut of the Baba Yaga is also home to her sisters Medusa and the Old Hag. Druid Circle Created in an attempt to reunited the Faerie Alliance with help from humanity, 11 druids had their spirits Harvested by the sacrifice of one of their number who was priest of Pazuzu and bound to this gold ring, worked into twisting vies with blooming flowers and fruit. Eleven screaming faces can be seen within the shapes, each vanishing upon the spirit’s use. This linked the ring to the Ikari source and Freya, poisoning both and cursing the race to produce gargoyles and harpies. Wearing the Circle enables the spending of spirits as if a Harvester, but only once the power has been activated by being brought back from dying with a healing burst. When spent, a spirit comes moaning out of the ring its face replaced by a blossom. The ring displays no powers until activated by the dying of the wearer. Once activated, the Circle retains 10 spirits and possesses the following abilities: Acts as a Ring of Elemental Command that affects all four Elements. Grants the wearer all Ikari magical abilities derived from their Source. Grants access to Forms of Air, Earth, Fire, Water, and Seasons Aspect of Weather at their HD. Wearer can use 1 Lesser Restoration per stored spirit and gets 1 Slot-Level worth of Cure Wounds per spirit to be used as desired Can spend 1 spirit on self or on creature touched to Heal or Rejuvenate as per Harvester Spending two spirits in a touch Heals/Rejuvenates as well as affecting as a Greater Restoration. Spending three spirits in a touch Heals/Rejuvenates, and affects as Greater Restoration as well Remove Curse, and Regenerate. Used in an Ikari Source, this cleanses the Source and breaks the curse on the Ikari. Spending five spirits in a touch attack destroys one undead, no save and no resistance, destroying the Circle and ending its effects on Freya. Wearer must make death saves or be killed by system shock, rendered Unconscious if successful. The Druidic Council was convened to find a solution for this curse, leading to the foundation of the Druidic Order and its Tower of Dreams, around which grew the Free City of Gyrrd’N. Hypership Grown from yggdracite, a pündi hypership is capable of travelling through the hyperspace of the Maelstrom.
- 191. 189 Key of Solomon Alsoknown as the Grand Grimoire, the emerald spellbook of the first wizard, Solomon, Merlyn’s apprentice, contains every magician spell known and the qi to cast each once from the book like scrolls recharged by a long rest. The Emerald Key of Solomon has the additional following abilities: Possessor gains +1 to Intelligence and Wisdom upon becoming attuned Access granted at possessor’s HD to the Knowledge, Magic, and Rune Forms Possessor may recast one spell cast in the previous round without requiring a second preparation One spell cast is immediate returned to preparation Arcane Recovery is increased by 2 sot levels Acts as a Ring of Spell Turning Grants advantage on all Intelligence checks Contains the Philosopher’s Stone ritual that requires casting from the Key, 1000gp in rare herbs and oils, and the fresh heart of a sacrificed infant of the same race as the possessor. The heart is ground up and mixed with the ingredients to form a powder over a period of an hour. The resulting Philosopher’s Stone pill is swallowed and the next long rest causes it to return the possessor to the beginning age of Adult for their race. Any additional Philosopher’s Stones taken each have a 50% chance checked by rolling a 10 or less on d20 of turning the character to dust. Shadow Staff Duvhar’s black Feywood staff is a +3 weapon with Ghost Touch and Chill Touch that contains the Shadows of 9 feral elves linked to the Feywood. These can be released and controlled by the wielder one at a time up to all at once and recalled at will. Once destroyed, they are gone. The staff is Evil aligned but unintelligent. It makes other alignments uncomfortable when grasped, feeling cold and clammy like a dead flesh. The 9 shadows attack any Good individual who tries to access its abilities or control them. The staff can be used for the following abilities: Command Undead (2 charges) Control Undead (3 charges) Darkness (1 charges) Deeper Darkness (2 charges) Ray of Enfeeblement (1 charge) Animate own shadow as per Monk Summon Shadow ability as per Pathfinder Shadowdancer Shadow Jump as Monk up to a total of 90’ per day Identify reveals its charge-dependent powers, Chill Touch, and Ghost Touch. However, the uniqueness of the other abilities prevents more than a determination of further powers to be unlocked and a dormant intelligence within. Combining Necromancy, Enchantment, and Conjuration, the weave holds more apparent energy than the rest of the staff, once unlocked. Grasping the staff makes a non-evil individual shaken. Trying to access its abilities causes a non-evil person to experience Chill Touch with Good persons being attacked by the 9 shadows in addition. Except for Duvhar, because of the spirit of Darkness inside he can access all of the charged abilities without difficulty. Only the additional abilities remain out of reach, unlocked by him becoming Lucid and joining with the Darkness in the Dreaming. Then he gains full mastery but has to experiment intuitionally to discover exactly what it can do. Tao Stones Created before the Fall by a vanished elven religion worshipping the Tao, these appear as 6 polyhedral crystals four, six, eight, ten, twelve and twenty-sided, each side engraved with one of the I Ching beginning with 1-4 on the Black four-sided stone representing Evil, 5-10 on the Grey six-sided stone representing Ethical Neutrality, 11-18 on the 8-sided White stone for Good, 19-28 on the Blue ten-sided Order stone, 29-40 on the Purple 12-sided Foundational Neutrality stone, and 41- 60 on the 20-sided Red stone of Chaos. When powers of the stones are activated, the engravings fill with spectral green flame. The attuned holder of any one stone is able to duplicate the abilities of a Wonder of Wonder once, recharged by a long rest. Multiple stones add just their single uses until all six are held, then the group an additional 1 use plus 1 per 3HD of the wielder (7+1/3HD), a short rest recharging 1 use. Also, the wielder may use an action to ask the Tao for Divine Intervention as if a priest of 10th level +1level/4HD of the wielder, with an additional +1 level if some form of Neutral alignment or +2 levels if True Neutral. This is also the casting level for all powers which start with a save DC of 16 and an attack modifier of +8, including ability and proficiency bonus for an 18 and 10th level
- 192. 190 before considering thewielder’s HD. Also, the wielder may use an action use the stones to Find the Path once plus once per 10HD restored by a long rest. Finally they can generate Light as frequently as the cantrip with the wielder’s action. Although intended for them, the Sack of Inspiration (that grants its bearer 3 Inspiration Points per day) bearing their images encircling the Tao symbol is not actually related in powers and nothing is gained by placing them inside except safety. Major Arcane Artefacts Belt of Atlas Worn by the original titanic god of strength, Atlas, this broad thick leather belt was soaked in his blood during his fatal battle with the great serpentine Abomination Jormangandur during the Ragnarok, imbuing it with his unrivalled strength of 32 (+11), required for lifting Mjolnir and wielding it without disadvantage. It and the hammer were guarded by a fifty-head, hundred-handed titan who Thor slew to gain them. Black Cauldron Created by Orcus as a gift for the Weird Sisters, this 8’ wide 5’ high 4’ deep, cast-iron cauldron has anthropoid skulls around its 7’ diameter rim and ram’s skulls as its six feet. Using it requires a blood sacrifice by the wielder to link them, after which the wielder may Animate Dead or Create Undead within using spells and linking them to the cauldron. This enables an unlimited number to be created and linked for control by the wielder, bypassing the standard limit. If corpses are placed within, the Black Cauldron can duplicate Animate Dead spells up to twelve times at 20th casting level and 9th slot level before a long rest is required and Create Undead at the same levels up to four. If a dying person is placed within and the wielder takes 1 point of Exhaustion, the person becomes a vampire upon death, the conversion occurring immediately and the vampire rising under the wielder’s control. Vampires can control lesser undead linked to the cauldron. The Cauldron’s blood link is broken by the death of the wielder or the anointing of the cauldron with Good aligned oil, the pouring of a flask of Good aligned holy water inside, and then the casting of a Good-aligned Hallow upon it. When unlinked, 100 points of divine energy damage destroys the Black Cauldron. It is Immune to divine energy and indestructible while linked. Breaking the link destroys all connected undead. While linked to the Cauldron the wielder has advantage on Death saves. If slain but the Cauldron remains whole, the wielder becomes a Ghost guardian until a new link is formed. The breaking of the link inflicts 5 points of exhaustion on the linked wielder and causes a backlash of 1 point of necrotic energy per linked undead that rises volcanically from inside 1 inch per undead, 2 points and inches for each vampire, 3 for each summoned carrion crawler, and 4 for each nightcrawler. Summoning a feyr requires the sacrifice of an anthropoid life, the blood drained into the Cauldron to open a Gate to Abaddon, as well as 2 points of Exhaustion from donated qi to summon and control a carrion crawler, 5 points for a nightcrawler. A living anthropoid can also be sacrificed and the blood fed to the Cauldron to summon the Cauldron’s phantom, a black hooded shape that whispers the answers to a Commune spell directed to Orcus. 1 point of Exhaustion can send the phantom to a target in a Dream spell. Should the Cauldron be destroyed, it releases 20d12 points of necrotic energy in a 100’ radius. Dexterity saves for half damage are at DC20 for the geyser and 25 for the burst. Excalibur Sword of Truth, Sword of the True King, Seeker Created by Xondra, Kali-Set, and Athena, this starcore longsword has a guard shaped like a cobra with a scorpion’s tail, a hilt shaped like a dragon holding two orchids in its teeth, one white and one black, and Athena’s Owl engraved up both sides of the blade near the guard. The word VERITAS is engraved in Celestial along both sides of the snake’s body. Given to Arthur Pendragon by Vivienne, demigod daughter of Poseidon and Titania, Lady of the Lake, the Sword of Truth is the basis for the Divine Right of Kings that Arthur used to retake Camelot and found the Kingdom of Caltere. Centuries later, as he died from an assassin’s poisoned blade, the last of the Pendragon line plunged the blade into an anvil near the temple of Anubis so that no one but the Once and Future King could pull it out and become the next True King of Caltere. As such Excalibur is also known as the Blade of the True King. +4 adamantine vorpal longsword, Axiomatic, Speed Stats: INT 20; WIS 20; CHR 10; Align: LN; Ego: 41 Powers: Sense Motive +15; Empathy; Glows when drawn; Holy Sword 3/day; Unholy Sword 3/day; Zone of Truth 6/day Purpose: Defend, Promote, and Reveal Truth (Wielder is prevented from lying)

To try and keep the dwarves united, after being form of two halves made by Hades and Vulcan, father and son crafted the Hammer of Union. This +4 adamantine Dwarven Thrower war hammer’s head is obsidian engraved with Hades symbol on both sides, the granite handle having an anvil for a pommel bearing the hammer and mountain of Vulcan on both sides. The two pieces were sealed together by Loki’s fire making the entire thing indestructible unless used by one dwarf against another. Loki, Hades and Vulcan became involved in a love triangle in which Hades felt spurned and ended up striking his father at the precise moment that princess Hexxis struck her brother Axvin with the Hamer in anger. The Hammer came apart causing a backlash that burned out Hades’ s eyes, one filling with darkness, the other eye becoming a flaming coal. Beginning the Faerie Wars, this tore the dwarves apart, Hades’s obsidian Duergar following dark Hexxis in to the depths of the Underworld and the Vulcan’s granite Gaxx remaining near the surface with her grey twin Axvin. She took the head and he the handle and both became lost to history. Assembled and sealed by being bathed in the combined self-sacrificed blood of a gaxx priest of Vulcan and a duergar priest of Hades restores the Hammer of Union. Intact, or separately where noted, it has the following abilities once attuned: Presence gives inspiration to inspires all dwarves within 60’ upon seeing it for the first time (pieces each do so within a 20’ radius) Inspiration to all dwarves within 120’ by holding aloft and calling out “United we stand!” recharge on 6 3 Inspiration Points for the user to draw upon personally resting at midnight (pieces each have 1IP separately) Access Earth Form and Cave Aspect using HD as level (head allows Cave and handle allows Earth separately) Advantage on attacks versus Orcs with Hammer Acts a s a Divine Symbol for Vulcan and Hades Grants user +60’ Darkvision 10 minutes of concentration allows a Commune with either Hades or Vulcan (each piece Communes with its creator separately) User Immune to Fire (pieces are immune and grant resistance) Allows user to move at normal speed through earth or stone by melding through it like an earth elemental. While doing so it is affected by spells and damage as per Meld into Stone. Once activated the duration can be of any length as long as it is continuous, stopping or doing anything other than moving ends the effect with the same results a Meld into Stone. For each round spent using such movement, the ability requires 1 round to recharge after it stops before it can be used again. Shatter as per spell on a hit recharged on a 5 or 6 Holy Grail of the Suns One sip from the Grail duplicates a Heal spell. A full drink adds a permanent +3 to the Strength of the pure at heart (Good). A second full drink triggers the Dreaming. A third turns the drinker to dust. Drinking the fresh blood of a sacrificed infant from it during the Witching Hour of the Night of Darkness destroys it and turns the drinker into a vampire. Jhaahm Meaning “The Grudge” in Dark Speech, this completely black longsword was forged in the Inferno by Hades as a weapon for Duergar to use against the Gaxx, but was taken by blood elves in battle. A +3 NE Sword of Life Stealing with INT 16, WIS 14, and CHR12, it grants the following abilities once attuned: Access to the Forms of Darkness and Fire Mage Armour recharged eight hours after use Shield recharged on 5 or 6 Hex recharged on 5 or 6 Bestow Curse recharged on a 6 Darkness recharged on a 6 Teleport recharged one hour after use Energetic Blast with 9 power points to spend, 1 point for 1st level slot, 1 for each slot increase, divided as desired Mjölnir Crafted by Atlas the Titan, original god of strength, the hammer requires his blood-stained belt’s 32 Strength to

While attuned to it, you can make a ranged weapon attack with the hammer, hurling it as if it had the thrown property with a normal range of 40 feet and a long range of 120 feet. If the attack hits, the hammer unleashes a thunderclap audible out to 300 feet. The target and every creature within 30 feet of it must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of your next turn. The hammer immediately flies back to hand on a hit or a miss. In addition the hammer has the following abilities: Energetic blast as 9th level slot, Lighting or Thunder only, DC21, recharged on 5 or 6 Bearer Immune to Lightning and Thunder Lightning Speed duplicates Haste recharged by a short rest and Time Stop once recharged at midnight Striking the ground creates an Earthquake once recharged at midnight Earned by Thor through a quest, the Belt and hammer became synonymous with his exploits until his pursuit of Loki brought him success. Bedding her, he awoke to find the Belt, hammer, and Loki long gone. Only Loki knows their location. Spear of Destiny Forged by Vulcan and Ptah, the Spear is a +3 Luck Blade of Speed of five wishes, which grants the attuned wielder the Alert feat if not possessed as well as: Augury 6/day; Divination 3/day; Find the Path 1/day; and Foresight 1/week. Committing suicide with it at the crack of dawn on New Year’s Day destroys it. Cosmic Arcane Artefacts Altar of the Tao Located on the Karmic Wheel, the Altar grants access to every Form and Aspect while in contact. Ankh The Ankh is by far the most power thing on Existence. Meaning Key in Celestial the Ankh was formed by Ptah from a piece of yggdracite encasing Keystone material and energy plus the entrapped spirit of Tiamat. Disoriented, unfocused, and confused the spirit’s Ego fights anyone who touches the Ankh, taking them over or destroying them with divine energy. Once mastered, the Ankh has a number of powers. Upon touching the Ankh an entity must make a DC30 Willpower saving throw against Tiamat’s ego or be struck by a maximized blast of the Ankh’s channelled divine energy with disadvantage on the save against its damage due to the direct contact. Ptah and Lorril are treated as possessing Expertise on this ego check as well as making it with advantage and having Inspiration in this regard. An entity slain by the energy is transformed into a guardian mummy if corporeal and a ghost if incorporeal or unsuitable as a mummy (anthropoids and all dragonneth are considered suitable mummies). Mastering the Ankh releases the guardian to the afterlife. Once mastered, the Ankh can be used to access the power of a Supreme Power, including the ability to use 32 Miraculum spells, without regard to incarnation or forms represented, before a long rest is needed to restore them. Doing so requires a DC21 Constitution saving throw to avoid 1 point of exhaustion with a critical failure inflicting 2 points. The wielder also can do the following as a 20th level caster with +18 attack bonus and a DC26 saving throw: Access all Forms and Aspects Time Stop, Reverse Gravity, Shapechange, and Teleport, each recharged by a 5 or 6. Gate once before a long rest is required to restore Knock as frequently a 0-level spell Dimension Door recharged on a 4, 5, or 6 Dominate Monster on up to 1 Dragonneth per HD Divine Energy channeled through it is maximized, including it6s own, in numerical effect and can be combined with other donors into a single burst combining all involved dice plus an additional dice per donor, so a single donor is amplified by 1 dice.

A hit requires the target to make a DC30 Constitution saving throw or have their spirit and the living qi of their bodies sucked into the spear and lost to oblivion, leaving a desiccated husk, sucking up incorporeal spirits like a vacuum. Those who save are Frightened and gain 5 points of exhaustion, retaining the Frightened condition until all points gained from this are removed by long rests.

Any slashing weapon can have Sharpness and any weapon type can be Vorpal, the former receiving disadvantage on the Extremity roll, Vorpal getting advantage. Enchanting Items Magic items are created with infusions of the creator’s qi that cause 1 point of Exhaustion every 8 hours of enchanting. Upon the completion of the enchanting time the item must be finalized with a last large infusion of qi. This requires an Enchanting check adjusted by their Casting modifier, with advantage if the creator is an Enchanter, against a DC dependant on the item type rarity: Common DC12; Uncommon DC16; Rare DC20; Very Rare DC24; and Legendary DC28. A critical success grants the item Intelligence if a suitable item type or the effects of the Lucky feat while possessing the item or affected by the potion if not suitable for intelligence. A failure allows another attempt as soon as desired but a critical failure results in an unintentionally cursed item (those in the DMG are intentionally created) that acts normally but also gives the possessor or imbiber disadvantage on all saves, checks, and attacks rolls. A Remove Curse can eliminate the curse caused by a potion, but other items require one cast on the item to suppress its curse granting ability for 3 rounds, enabling the curse on its possessor to be removed during that time. The creator must also make a Constitution save at the same DC as the Enchantment check, with disadvantage if that check was a critical failure, or suffer 4 points of Exhaustion. A success cuts this to 2 points of Exhaustion and critical failure inflicts 6 points causing the creator to make Death saves to stabilize with 5 points of Exhaustion. If the creator ends their attempts, the enchantment fails wasting funds and materials and ruining the item.

Bahamut’s sacrifice left one until the First Chaos Wave split her freshly-vacated corpse into the three Dragonneth Firsts: Drake, Dragon, and Wyrm. All their descendant dragonnethi have her divine black blood pumping through in their veins passing forward genetic memories from every generation since the Firsts. Their dreams are explorations of their Blood Memory line. They use a personal first name with the combined names of their parents as a second and the combined names of all four grandparents as a third and soon back
- 198. 196 to the universallast name of Dragonneth. Thus full, formal introductions can take a long time. Dragonnethi are only able to produce offspring only three times during their age cycle. Once during young adulthood, one during adulthood, and once during mature adulthood. They do not mate for pleasure or emotion, but to improve the prestige and richness of the Blood Memory line. Each mating produces three to nine eggs, some of which occasionally contain other sub-species of dragonnethi, with only those small enough for the egg viable. The eggs are silver from the mithral content of the shell. They view all other beings, from newly created microbial spirits to Ancient Ones Lorril and Ptah, as a profane Vermin to be treated as Annoying, Dangerous, Irrelevant, Nutritious, or Useful. Dragonnethi are unaffected by the alcohol, visionleaf, brewed twilight, blitzkrieg, and Odin’s Eye mushroom. Dragonnethi deem invention and craft below their divine status and perfect natural capabilities preferring to use Vermin slaves to create tools, weapons, armour, and other useful products, or taking them in raids. However, the dragonnethi did recognize the combat value of the giants’ drug for training berserker warriors, Odin’s Eye, discovered accidentally by titans at the same time as fermentation and brewing. With adaptive mimicry woven into scales and skin, they sought a similar fungus for their race and discovered mystic mushrooms. This enabled them to be first to access the mystical Keys and become blood mystics. Believing it a power of their divinity, the mystics formed the Order of the Blood, a mystic religion dedicated to exploring the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of the Blood through the Key. Those who focused upon body and mind became the first martial monks. Only dragonnethi can access the Blood Key and it is the only Key they can access. Dragonnethik The dragonneth language consists of vocalizations as well a wide variety and range of textures, colours, and patterns, produced by their adaptable scales. The written form contains indicators for these physical communications, but is used mostly for confidential messages because most knowledge is preserved and pass-down through their genetic memories. “Nethienkah” means “Empire of the Blood” “Raktargoth” means “The Last Remnant” of Nethienkah “Kassykoth” means “The Altar of Self-Sacrifice” “Dragonneth” means “Blood of the Dragon” (plural: dragonnethi) “Dragon” said black-scaled with claw-like spikes, always refers to Tiamat. They only turn completely black in reference to her. “Dragonneth”, “Wyrm”, “Drake”, or “Dragon,” said black-scaled with a cross-hatch texture, always refers to a First. “Dragonneth” “Wyrm”, “Drake”, or “Dragon,” said with black scales and pyramidal protrusions, always refers to High Ones “Dragonneth” said with black, bumpy scales, always refers to Low Ones “Dragonneth” said with black, smooth scales, always refers to Bestial Ones including: Basilisk (lion-sized, six-legged with glowing chameleon-like eyes that petrify when gaze met) Cockatrice (small feathered drake with a petrifying venomous bite) Dragon Turtle (twice as big as a wyrm and spits boiling blasts of water) Fairy Drake (tiny with wings that resemble a butterfly’s and hypnotic colour patterns) Linnorm (giant serpent growing in deep lakes before inhabiting the sea) Pseudodragon (small with a poison stinger on its tail that paralyzes)
- 199. 197 High Ones High Onesare converted from 5E metallic dragons by removing the ability to Change Shape. No dragonneth would demean their divine appearance by assuming any other form. Eggs have a shell of mithral composite. All three types also have the following additions and adjustments in common: Amphibious Longevity 50 Inherent Mystics: all High Ones have mystical ability of a level 6 below their hit dice. This grants them the appropriate spell slots, spells, sorcery points, and metamagic but no other benefits of the class or Blood Key. Metal Fascination: a High One becomes Fascinated as per the spell if it fails a Will save when around large amounts of valuable metals. The DC is 15 for an amount that is worth 1000gp times the HD of the high one, 20 for 2000gp times HD 25 for 4000gp times HD, and 30 for 8000gp times HD or more. If failed the dragonneth gets another save according the spell conditions and every day for DC15, every 2 days for DC20, every 4 days for DC25, and every 8 days (one week) at DC30. Disturbing the metal grants it an immediate save. Removing any immediately breaks the fascination. All 5E age categories are doubled in length; Ancient becomes Old with an upper limit of 1600 years, Venerable starts at 1601 and adds the permanent effect of an Enlarge spell, and Ancient starts at 4801 adding a second Enlarge effect. Growth slows through the Ancient stage until at 6000 the high one’s heart can no longer support their growth and they begin to slow down and toward death. Sleep of Ages: Able to enter a deep sleep for up to an entire age category without food or water in near hibernation, waking if disturbed, at the end of the category, or when desired. Ravenous and thirsty, they need to consume three meals every day for 1 day per 1% (rounded up) of the category spent sleeping before their appetite returns to normal. They do not sleep during this time unless injured more severely than a short rest can heal or all of its abilities and spells need restoration. Expanded Lifespan: The statistics for 5e Ancient dragons apply to Old High Ones on the Minimum Size by Age Category Table (see below). Venerable and Ancient High Ones get Expertise on all Strength, Constitution and Intelligence checks and saves. For each category above Old their size doubles and weight goes up four times granting +20’ range to their breath weapons and increasing all physical attack damage by 1 dice.

At its end more Constitution saves are required every fifty days to avoid failing Unconscious for 5d10 years and dying at the end. Size Categories beyond Gargantuan With extremely few exceptions, only a dragonneth can reach a size beyond Gargantuan, terasques being largest of all. To enlarge a dragonneth add the following adjustments according to the desired size category change above Gargantuan: Colossal (60-120’): Space 25 Speed +20 (all); Natural AC+1; average +1hp per HD; Resistance to Tiny attacks Immense (120- 240’): Space 30 Speed +40 (all); Natural AC+2; average +2hp per HD; Resistance to Small attacks Titanic (240-480’): Space 35; Speed +60 (all); Natural AC+3; maximum hit points per HD; Resistance to Medium attacks Awesome (480’+): Space 40; Speed +80 (all); Natural AC+4; Maximum hit points per HD and Tough feat; Resistance to Large attacks High One Lairs LAIR ACTIONS On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the high one takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the dragon can't use the same effect two rounds in a row: The dragon glimpses the future, so it has advantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until initiative count 20 on the next round. Part of the ceiling collapses above one creature thatthe dragon can see within 120 feet of it. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 10 (3d6) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone and buried. The buried target is restrained andunable to breathe or stand up. A creature can take anaction to make a DC 10 Strength check, ending the buried state on a success. A tremor shakes the lair in a 60-foot radius around the dragon. Each creature other than the dragon on the ground in that area must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone. R EGIONAL EFFECTS The region containing a legendary high one’s lair is warped by magic, which creates one or more of the following effects: Whenever a creature that can understand a language sleeps or enters a state of trance or reverie within 6 miles of the dragon's lair, the dragon can establish telepathic contact with that creature and converse with it in its dreams. The creature remembers its conversation with the dragon upon waking.' Within 1 mile of its lair, the dragon leaves no physical evidence of its passage unless it wishes to. Tracking it there is impossible except by magical means. In addition, it ignores movement impediments and damage from plants in this area that are neither magical nor creatures, including the thickets described above. The plants remove themselves from the dragon's path. Whenever a creature with an Intelligence of 3 or higher comes within 30 feet of a water source within 1 mile of the dragon's lair, the dragon becomes aware of the creature's presence and location. Once per day, the dragon can alter the weather in a 6-mile radius centered on its lair. The dragon doesn't need to be outdoors; otherwise the effect is identical to the control weather spell.

Traits Feats Alert Elusive (Su) Linnorms have long been the stuff of maritime legends, but despite countless attempts to hunt them, they are rarely encountered unless they wish it. As a full-round action while in water, a linnorm can move up to its run speed (300 ft.) without leaving any trace of its passing (identical in effect to a pass without trace). An elusive linnorm gains a advantage to its Stealth check. In addition, except when in combat, a linnorm is considered to be under the effects of a nondetection spell. Both of these spell effects are at caster level 20th and cannot be dispelled. Growth: Young linnorms are born in river mouths, dwelling in deep rivers and possessing average hit points, adult linnorms prefer deep lakes and have ¾ maximum total hit points, and mature linnorms swim out to sea, growing to maximum possible hit points. Ancient linnorms also have the Tough feat and get +1d4 points added to all attack damage. Lake linnorms have advantage on all Dexterity checks and saves. Sea linnorms get advantage on Strength too with the ancient ones also getting it on Constitution. Resistance to Acid, Fire, and Poison damage. Actions Melee bite +23 (4d8+22/19–20 plus grab), tail slap +18 (3d6+6 plus grab) Powerful Saliva: +1 dice of Acid and +1 dice of Poison damage added to the linnorm’s bite attack damage dice. Scalding Stream: A linnorm can heat its water stream to scalding adding 3d8 points of fire damage to the bludgeoning damage. This damage is also halved by the successful water stream saving throw. This ability recharges on a 6. Water Stream: Linnorms can spit a stream of water in a 60’ cone that inflicts 7d8 points of bludgeoning damage, pushes all creatures and objects 30’, and knocks them prone. A successful save at DC18 halves the damage and the push amount and avoids the Prone condition. This ability recharges on a 5 or 6. Capsize (Ex) A linnorm can attempt to capsize a boat or ship of its size or smaller by ramming it as a charge attack and making a combat maneuver check. The DC of this check is 25. Tales of immense linnorms have colored the accounts of seagoing folk since the first ship sailed beyond sight of land. Yet proof of these immense and elusive creatures is remarkably difficult to come by, for not only is the ocean vast and the true linnorm rare, but these creatures are quite adept at both avoiding capture and destroying ships bent on such a daunting task. Due to the linnorm's hermitic nature, many sailors take to ascribing the sighting of such a beast to an omen, although whether the sighting portends peril or providence depends as much upon the ship's morale as it does anything else—the linnorm itself has little interest in prophecy, and only its hunger determines how dangerous its proximity to a curious ship can be. Although linnorms are little more than animals, they possess about them an air of mysticism that even old salts and cynics are forced to admit quickens the heart and buoys (or sinks) the spirit. Reports of linnorm sightings are just as likely to encourage travel as they are to cause panic among seafarers, as explorers and adventurers flock to the site in hopes of sighting such a legendary creature. Young linnorms are 60 feet in length and weigh 4,500 pounds, but their upward size limit is unknown. Adult linnorms are Gargantuan, mature ones are Immense, and ancient ones reach Titanic. Certainly, the sea is a vast and mysterious place more than capable of supporting whales and other such leviathans, and tales
- 208. 206 of ancient linnormsthat exceed lengths of 300 feet or more are not unheard of. Metal Song Dragonnethi hear the Song of the Metal, pleasant vibrations reaching to the bone experienced like music. Different metals have different qualities sing different tunes with impurities and creating different styles and voices. A dragonneth’s hoard is the choir in a in its temple lair. Fascinated by the experience, they can spend centuries just listening, the larger the choir the hard it is to leave. This is the how metals gained their relative values and became currency on Aldyryc. Most prized of all are mithral, which they call Blood Silver, and starcore which they believe to sing the song of Eden altered by the First Chaos Wave. The song of mithral has a soothing harmonic sweetness that turns into mournful, disturbing dissonance in the sacrilegious possession of Vermin while starcore is cosmic, ancient, and alien. Adamantine starcore comes only from meteorites. Stronger and lighter than steel as well as easily attuned to magic, mithral originated in the blood, bones, and scales, of Tiamat, passed down through the Firsts. Natural deposits come from decaying bodies and egg shells, particularly those of High Ones. The relatively large size and number of deposits, considering dragonnethi cannibalism, is due to the long Blood Wars against the Vermin, the massive number of simultaneous deaths caused by the Second Chaos Wave that ended the Wars, and collapse of all civilizations and races toward extinction during the Age of the Fallen. Nethienkah Dragonnethi were first to establish a viable civilization on Aldyryc. The divine Firsts considered themselves above concepts like good, evil, ambition, and cooperation. Only The Dragon had the desire and discipline to lead, the Drake being too easily distracted and unpredictable, the Wyrm too passive and contemplative. Thus the Dragon gained dominance and, able to crush the will of their descendants with a look, the Firsts established a stratified hierarchy through unquestioning obedience ruthlessly maintained by strict discipline. Unopposed, the Empire of the Blood became global and divided between the Firsts with the Dragon ruling the largest territory, the Drake the smallest. High Ones ruled communities and commanded units commensurate with their level of prestige. Low Ones lived only to worship and serve those above as warriors, hunters, trappers, miners, artisans, or anything else required. All below worked to build the choirs of the Firsts and build prestige in their eyes. Prestige was all that mattered, along with a choir to sing about it of course. Although omnivorous when needed, dragonnethi prefer living or freshly killed meat. The Empire’s main source of food was large Nutritious Vermin, mainly dinosaurs. These were treated as the free-roaming cattle of the High One ruling the area. Despite the efforts of divinely created giants, orcs, fey, and faerie, through two Ages of the Blood Wars, Nethienkah was forced to share not surrender the planet. Only the Fall of every race and civilization cause by Second Chaos Wave managed to end it, but not before the First Wyrm was slain by dragonsbane developed by the faerie. The Drake emerged millions of years later from Raktargoth to wage the Drake War and die from Sirsyr’s blade. The fate of the Dragon First remains unknown. Both varstrills and ysstrakans clung to their warrior’s code and prestige-based honour to help survive the Age of the Fallen while the cunning Kobolds continued to do whatever it took and serve whoever would stand them. This turned out to be the ysstrakans who chose to rely on their military background to use as a blueprint for the society they hoped would become a new Empire of the Blood, with ysstrakans ruling. Varstrills took a more spiritual, mystical path, isolating themselves in monastic communities, abandoning the destruction of the cosmos and domination of the planet to seek the Blood of the Union. Even though Ysstrakans gathered in the great swamps to form the land that bears their name and Varstrills gathered on the nearby Island of Kassykoth, there is little contact or kinship between the two lands. While the Varstrill island homeland is a monastic place forbidden to outsiders, Ysstraka is an attempt to united three races into an Empire, Dragonneth, Lizardfolk, and Yuan-ti. Native to the great swamps, Lizardfolk were created by the 2nd Chaos Wave from ordinary reptiles. In contrast, the Yuan-ti are the second-most ancient race on the planet, created by Kali-Set as the first attempt to displace the Dragonnethi, almost immediately enslaved and co-opted into the dragonneth civilization. Ysstraka is split into three Territories, the largest being the South half dominated by the Ysstrakans, the second being the North of the Yuant-ti which is about two-thirds the size, with the Belt
- 209. 207 of Lizardfolk tribessqueezed between the two. The Ysstrakans have managed to unite the three under their full control multiple times but are typically undermined by turmoil between the Lizardfolk tribes, the drive for Yuan-ti independence, and Dragonneth politics. Lizardfolk often survive by raiding the other races or serving as mercenaries. For the most part, knowledge of Ysstraka stays inside Ysstraka. Soulless Tiamat and Bahamut are the apex gods of the dragonneth, with the Firsts viewed as greater powers, High Ones as intermediate powers, Low Ones as kisser powers, and Bestial Ones as demigods. The Low Ones are bipedal, the burrowing varstrills of Wyrm lineage, the aquatic ysstrakans of Dragon lineage, and the lowly venomous kobolds of Drake lineage. Most creatures are created as incorporeal spirits before inhabiting mortal bodies and then passing into the Afterlife where body and spirit unify into a soul. Generated from the spiritless corpse of Tiamat, dragonnethi only get a mortal life, their spirits and bodies created together and combined at conception. Some say they have no spirits. When slain they decay and are gone, as happens with gods, demons, angels, elementals, and the souls of the dead. Some consider them abominations but they consider themselves divine. Many varstrills believe that Bahamut is now a part of the fabric of the cosmos. Becoming closer to it brings one closer to him enabling a union of Tiamat and Bahamut that will grant dragonneth an Afterlife. This is known as the Blood of the Union. As it is, High Ones die when they grow too large for their hearts to support and the other when their hearts grow too large and thick to pump. The dead are eaten by those considered worthy of the honour to pass on the dead one and to prevent Vermin from defiling the corpse The Terasques Four of the five known terasques, indestructible colossal dragonnethi mutated by the Second Chaos Wave, are associated with the Daikaiju Ocean, named “Giant Monster” by human sailors from Zur for its size and inhabitants. Smallest and weakest, the Hydra dwells in the Great Salt Marsh near the Three Seas and the human Republic of Lyrnea. Legend says that the demigod Hercules died just after learning its only weakness. The others aren’t known to have any. Gojira, Rodan, and Ghidorah, dwell on the Isle of Dread, Kaiju, commonly known as Terasque Island. The largest creature known to exist on Aldyryc, whales and ships impaled on its tusks and shell spikes, Goliath dwells in the Daikaiju’s crushing Leviathan Deep at the deepest point of Behemoth Trench, known as the Depths of Despair. Fortunately it and the other terasques are fiercely territorial, having rarely ventured beyond since the Second Chaos Wave.

- 210. 208 Ent Gargantuan Fey Plant As5E Treant except: Neutral; Scent; Blind-sight 180; Tremor-sense 180; Resistant P/S/B unless cold iron and slashing Highly intelligent animate trees resembling bald cypress, dense foliage thick with apparent Spanish moss, two thick branches ending in thin fingers and trunk wrapped by six long, strong vines that act as tentacles, ents are born from the seeds of the Entarys in the Grove of the Mother. Sprouting, entlings grow like normal trees through infancy until, at around six or seven feet tall, they pull up their roots to start toddling about with them. When old they become Elders, the venerable returning to the Grove to raise entlings before taking root, releasing their pollen to the Entarys and becoming inanimate. Unable to use their magic, they remain able to respond to communication. Souls in the process of separating from their bodies, all their mental stats drop by one each day until all reach zero, when the ent begins to decay back into the soil of the Grove. Equalling dragons, ents can live up to six thousand years. Their only form of communication is through chemicals emitted into the air and ground and transmitted by other vegetation. This enables them to communicate over great distances by using the vegetation as a network but is far from instant. They can also speak with other plants and track by scent. They can track by communicating with local vegetation and can receive warnings from regional vegetation. Although incapable of vocalization or reading, they can understand spoken language. Able to feel the intensity of the light of a single star, tiny pressure variations in the air, and the weakest of vibrations, their sensitivity grants them hearing as well as tremor-sense. Ents love good music and are drawn it, often welcoming illuminati into their territories. Accomplished by emitting infrasonic pulses, their blind-sight is replaced by tremor-sense when sleeping. While using infrasound, all animal life in range must save or become shaken due to a combination of mild nausea, fear, and awe. Often interpreted as unnerving supernatural hostility, affected areas are avoided by most normal animals. A side-effect enjoyed by ents, who often use “haunting the eater” to scare off intruders with least effort. An ent is aware of the infrasound of other ents up to ten miles away. Because they can’t do more than turn them on and off, the pulses aren’t used for communication beyond simple coordination by location. An ent’s territory is normally ten miles in diameter. Solitary, ents tend to stay at least ten mils apart unless necessary, rarely leaving their territories until their time comes to return to the Grove. Fighting the destructive, perverse advance of civilization, they act as protectors of the ecosystem in order to benefit its vegetation. Although hostile to civilization and fiercely protective of their territory, ents are patient. They often observe those approaching their homes for a long time before deciding on action, and then usually only if their territory is actually violated. Their forest-wide discussions and periods of motionlessness can last for weeks at a time. However, the sight of intentional fire or wood harvesting enrages them to violence. Ents have innate magical powers. They can Entangle, Plant Growth, Charm Plants, Quench Flame, Animate Plants, Pass without Trace, and Disguise Self to appear as any suitable type of tree. Ent Elder Resistant P/S/B unless cold iron, magical, and slashing Gargantuan Fey Plants, Elders have the additional powers of Hallucinatory Terrain, summoning 1d4+1 ents, Commune with Nature, using Baneful Polymorph to turn a living creature into an ordinary tree, and Wall of Thorns. The Entarys Immunity P/S/B unless cold iron, magical, and slashing A Gargantuan Fey Plant up to 120’ tall and sixty thousand years old, a dead Entarys is replaced by the oldest elder taking root, changing into the new Entarys as the old one crumbles into the soil. Without replacement, the Entarys’s dimensional bubble implodes into a singularity after seven days. The Entarys has the additional powers of being able to access and use the entire Plant Form/Form, use Mass Baneful Polymorph to create ordinary trees, emit a chemical cloud that creates Mass Confusion, project an Anti-animal Shell, and manipulate its projected dimensional bubble to produce effects like Reverse Gravity, Call Lightning Storm, Earthquake, Transmute Mud to Rock, Control Weather, Ice Storm, Solid Fog, Tsunami, etc.

Cave Folk (Troglodyte) The original form of Lizard Folk, mutated by the 2nd Chaos Wave from cave lizards in the Underworld, they split into Forest and Swamp in the process of adapting to the surface life. Yuan-ti The Yuan-ti race is almost unheard of beyond Elves and Ysstrakans. Their homeland of northern Ysstraka and has alternated between subjugation by Ysstraka and independence. They use Lizardfolk as common soldiers. Although not allied with the elves, they have used the enmity between the faerie and ysstrakans to their benefit and to hamper Ysstraka. Most elves believe them a legend. Immortal Entities All planar entities native to the Immortal Sphere have standard resistance to B/P/S as follows: Celestial Realms: Non-magic; Necrotic, Cold, Fire; Immune to Poison and Radiant Elemental Realms: Non-magic; Immune to Poison Faerie Realms: Non- cold iron or non-magic Celestial Hosts The entities of the Celestial Realms are divided into the elite warriors of the Legions and the native Hosts. Athena’s Saints form the Host of Heaven, Xondra’s Archons the Host of Qohlahb, and Satanael’s Hellspawn the Host of Hell. Saints: immortal souls who carry their classes and skills into the Afterlife to become paragons of Order, Good, and Life. Regardless of age at death, they appear as adults in their prime, radiant with inner beauty and typically dressed in white. Archons: Immortal souls who carry their classes and skills into the Afterlife and become paragons of Order, Life, and Death. They appear as serene adults in their prime typically dressed in grey and carrying a black staff engraved with white runes. Hellspawn: Immortal souls whose forms and classes give way to the monstrous natures within to become 5e Devils able to conceal their evil by using their innate at-will polymorph ability to appear as anthropoids of diabolic beauty. The strongest of these are the 8 Dukes and the Archduke Asmodeus, Satanael’s lieutenant. Mariliths are Kali-Set‘s Hellspawn servants.

Instead of actual wings, they have innate Fly 60 and Cloaks of Flying that become wings, for a total Fly 120. While the cloaks of ophanim appear as cloaks, cherub cloaks resemble feathered dove wings and nephil ones black bat wings.

The first, Felaróf the stallion of Satanael, was originally the stallion Pegasus, offspring of the White Hart and Athena’s steed, until he was captured and his wings torn off by Kali-Set and then he was put to stud making a herd. After accomplishing Loki’s challenge to sire a child with Kali-Set, drunken Thor decided to ride out of Hell in style on Felaróf. Once out, he healed the open, smoldering amputation wounds with a blast of divine energy mixed with lighting and from his hammer. Crackling arcs of electricity replaced the steed’s flames turning his eye vibrant blue and sparking continually from gunmetal hooves. Given the place of ranking stallion in Thor’s Destrier herd, Felaróf sired the first Unicorn, dusky Shadowfax with a coat opposite his ivory descendants. In addition to 5e Unicorn abilities and the Dimensional Stride of his sire, Shadowfax can arc lightning from his horn like a Blue Dragonborn Born and Dream Walk. Said to be the fastest equine at Speed 100’, Shadowfax escaped Thor at the first opportunity and has never been ridden. Hellfire Knight A hellfire knight is a Pit Fiend following 5e Monster Manual rules for Devil. They serve as the knights and champions of the Dukes, the greater ones as generals. They breed and ride Hellborn Chargers. Krahl Created by Xoll’X as an arachnid species native to the moon, Isis, intended to rise there and then supplant dragonnethi on Aldyryc, the Krahl have Immunity to Acid, their blood being highly acidic. Any bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing damage results in damage to the weapon equal to the full potential of the weapon’s dice and bonuses (roll again for the acid) and splash damage to the attacker equal to the weapon’s damage dice, including any critical. This occurs upon contact and every round thereafter until a DC20 Constitution save is made successfully. An attack that destroys an extremity inflicts full potential to the attacker as well as weapon and the weapon’s dice as splash damage to all within a 10’ radius. Because of their exposure to the surface energies of Isis, all krahl are Immune to Acid and Resistant to Cold, Fire, Lightning, Necrotic, Radiant, and Thunder damage, while being Vulnerable to Psychic damage due to weak relatively mental defenses.

A shapechanged aranea reverts to its natural form when slain. Spellcasting: All aranea are 4th-level wizards. They use Intelligence as their casting ability (DC 13, attack +5) and require no material components for their spells. Typical known spells are listed below, but individual aranea can know different spells. o Cantrips (at will): dancing lights, poison cloud, shocking grasp o 1st level (4 slots): charm person, sleep o 2nd level (2 slots): invisibility, mirror image Spider Climb: Aranea can climb any surface without making ability checks. Tremor Sense: While in contact with a surface, the knight senses all vibrations transmitted though the surface up to a range of 60’. Web Sense: While in contact with a web, the knight knows the exact location of any other creature in contact with the same web. Actions Bite: Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit (reach 5 ft.; one creature). Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage, and the target must make a successful DC 11 Con saving throw or become poisoned (see Paralytic Poison, below). o Paralytic Poison: The poisoned creature has tactical disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks. At the end of each of its turns, the poisoned creature must attempt a Con saving throw. On a result of 16 or higher, the poisoned condition ends and the character becomes immune to this aranea’s poison. On a result of 11– 15, the poisoned condition continues. On a result of 10 or lower, the creature becomes paralyzed and no more saving throws are needed. Paralysis lasts for 1 hour or until the poison is neutralized. Webs (recharge 5, 6): Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit (range 30 ft./60 ft.; one creature). Hit: The target is restrained by webs. A webbed creature can use its action to attempt a DC 12 Str (Athletics) check to escape. The web can also be destroyed by 5 points of slashing or fire damage against AC 10. Description As the monstrosity approaches across its web, you notice that unlike other giant spiders, this one has a pair of diminutive arms and hands, and an oddly brain-shaped hump on its back. An aranea is an intelligent, shapechanging spider with sorcerous powers. In its natural form, an aranea resembles a typical giant spider, with a humpbacked body a little bigger than a human torso and venomous fangs. Although considered a Large creature, an aranea’s mass is no more than a typical human’s; its size comes from its long legs. An aranea can be distinguished from other giant spiders by the hump on its back that houses its brain and by the fact that, in addition to eight legs, it has a fifth pair of limbs, each about 2 feet long, located ahead of the first pair of legs. These limbs end in hands, each equipped with three clawed fingers and a double-jointed thumb. When aranea are encountered in groups, some might be young: identical in all respects to adult areanea but without the spellcasting trait. Aranea often use their shapechanging ability to lure unsuspecting victims into ambushes. Less often, they assume humanoid form to infiltrate human societies, where they conduct research and gather information for their inscrutable purposes.

Once damage starts, the victim gained the Poisoned condition until long rest stops the internal bleeding and eases the pain. A Curse Disease kills the swarm inside the host if it fails a Constitution save against the Spell DC. If the host takes electrical damage, the swarm takes an equal amount of damage.

Kraken Created by Cthulhu to rule the oceans and protect R’lyeh on the Island of Atlantis, a few of these great creatures dwell in the depths of the Daikaiju Ocean and the Devil’s Triangle. Similar to a sahuagin, a kraken can telepathically control any octopus, giant octopus, squid, or giant squid within a 360’ radius and is usually accompanied by such as guards and convenient snacks. Each considers it the epitome of its kind and eventual master of the seas and uses its minions to dominate the area around its lair in as large a radius as possible. Because they don’t employ intelligent minions this ability is fortunately limited and kraken more often end up fighting each other than lesser beings. The only things that give a kraken pause are high dragonnethi and terasques, particularly Goliath whose trench they avoid. Although they will eagerly devour most things, they have a taste for Sirens of the Deep and a habit of gobbling up their slaves that makes the two species ancient and intense enemies. Krakens are known to break their way into Siren lairs, thus their deep labyrinthine design. Maldarvian Intelligence Mutants created through magic, they are under a permanent genetic Geas to serve and obey Maldarvia and the Black Order at all costs and without hesitation.

The First Chaos Wave reformed the cosmos. The Second Chaos Wave reformed the world, mutating many species and races. Flumphs evolved from fungi in the Underworld. Ikari eggs began to randomly produce kenku. Malformed tritons evolved into sahuagin. Mutated octopi evolved into octopods whiles sting rays awakened and began developing themselves into sirens of the deep. A number of mammal species stood up and became anthropoid Skinchangers. Giants gave birth to firbolgs, ettins, and cyclopes. Kinslayer Curse. Not long into the Age of the Fallen, sick and tired of the racial and civil carnage of the Faerie Wars sparked by Axvin and Hexxis, the Faerie gods called upon the Council of Powers to bring judgement down upon their creations in the form of the Sundering, cutting all faerie off from returning to the Faerie Realms upon the end of the lives by trapping them in reincarnation and severing the priesthood covenants with the Faerie gods. To bring the Wars to an end, Orcus and Azathoth were unleashed to create the Kinslayer Curse in the name of all faerie being a single family to encourage the restoration of the ancient Alliance. Toward this end all elves

Because kenku and sahuagin were still mutation through their evolution into races they weren’t affected by the Kinslayer Curse as far as mutation, although they were still Sundered. Thorin, Shaykspeyr and Mielikki ended the Kinslayer Curse with the Atonement of creating the first Faewood from the seed of the Entarys. Since then faerie can eventually evolve back into the Faerie Realms and are at peace with their creators. Ley Radiation. Particularly intense in the Aberrant Domain of the Underworld and in the heart of Necros, when the ruins of an ancient Oni city remain intact and untouched, abandoned since the radiation turned Oni newborns into ogres. Human mutations have produced mongreloids, some of whom produce grimlocks with the more superior specimens known as grim creepers, and their leaders called grim stalkers. Mutated grimlocks become morlocks, and the most degraded morlocks become meenlocks able to transform others into their kind. Maldarvian Magical Genetic Experimentation. Using an experimental variant of Clone, Maldarvia magicians create owlbears and rhokargan. Numerous mongreloids and their lines were also produced in the process.

Melee Attack—Shortsword: +5 to hit (reach 5 ft.; one creature). Hit: 1d6 + 4 piercing damage and the target must make a successful DC 12 Con saving throw or be poisoned (see below). STATISTICS Str 14 (+2), Dex 18 (+4), Con 14 (+2), Int 9 (–1), Wis 11 (+0), Cha 13 (+1) Languages: Deep Speech, Undercommon Skills: Sleight of Hand +5, Stealth +7 TRAITS Death Throes: When a dark stalker is slain, its body combusts in a flash of flame. All creatures within 20 feet of the slain stalker take 3d6 fire damage, or half damage with a successful DC 12 Dex save. The stalker’s combustible gear is burned to ash, but other items (shortswords, poison vials, coins, gems) survive the burst of fire. Poison: Dark stalkers are skilled in the use of poison. They favor a foul-smelling, dark paste called black smear that they distill from fungi that grows only in deep caverns. Creatures poisoned by black smear take 1d4 poison damage immediately and suffer the usual effect of the poisoned condition. In addition, they must repeat the DC 12 Con saving throw at the end of each of their turns. On a successful save, they are no longer poisoned; on a failed save, they take 1d4 poison damage and the poisoned condition continues. Each dark stalker carries six doses of this poison, and they train from childhood to reapply it to their shortswords as a bonus action after a successful hit. See in Darkness: Light conditions are reversed in effect for dark stalkers. They treat complete darkness as bright light and bright light as complete darkness. A dark stalker sees perfectly in darkness of any kind, including magical darkness. Sneak Attack: A dark stalker’s shortsword attack does an extra 2d6 piercing damage if the dark stalker has advantage on the attack or if another dark stalker or dark creeper is within 5 feet of the target. Spell-Like Abilities: Dark stalkers can use the following spell- like abilities, using Charisma as their casting ability (DC 11). Dark stalkers don’t need material components to use these abilities. At will: darkness, detect magic, fog cloud ECOLOGY Environment: Any Underground Organization: Solitary, pair, gang (3–6), or clan (20–80 plus 1 dark stalker per 20 dark creepers) Dark creepers lurk in lightless places deep below the surface of the world, venturing forth at night or into neighboring societies when the urge to steal and cause mayhem grows too great to resist. Endless layers of filthy, moldering black cloth shroud these small creatures, leading some to believe that the creature inside is smaller still. Dark creepers flee from bright light but are quite brave in the dark. They stand just under 4 feet tall and weigh about 80 pounds. Their flesh is pale and moist, and their large eyes are milky white. Dark creepers exude a foul stench of sweat and spoiled food, owing primarily to the fact that they never take off their clothing—instead piling on new layers when the outermost one grows too ragged. It is known that Subterranean cities of dark creepers exist. Most creatures that have seen these cities venture no closer than necessary, for the route to the city will be lined with traps, snares, and other deadly devices to bedevil trespassers. Each city is a large circular pit with a spiraling staircase leading down through the multi-layered city. A dark creeper city is constantly shrouded in impenetrable darkness. The actual habitat and details of dark creeper society remain a mystery, as few who venture into a dark creeper city return to testify about what they’ve seen (if, indeed, they saw anything in the stygian darkness). The strange and mysterious dark stalkers are the undisputed leaders of dark creeper society. Deep Underground, these creatures dwell in remote villages (some rumors suggest entire cities) built of stone and fungus in caverns where they are served and worshiped by the coarser, smaller dark creepers. Dark stalkers come to the surface rarely. When they do, they are on a mission, and accompanied by a small army of dark creepers. Dark stalkers are tall, frail Humanoids with incredibly pale skin. They wear multiple layers of dark cloth and blackened hide armor, but unlike their lesser kin, a dark stalker’s garb is always clean and spotless. Each dark stalker carries a pair of short swords—they prefer these weapons to all others. Dark stalkers are 6 feet tall and weigh 100 pounds. In a fight, dark stalkers are not above sacrificing lesser creatures, including dark
- 221. 219 creepers, to winthe day or to cover their retreat if things go poorly. They never fight to the death if they can escape by sacrificing others. Dark stalkers hate light and prefer to fight under the cover of darkness. For all the mayhem and trouble a pack of dark creepers can cause, this is nothing compared to the danger a tribe led by the sinister dark stalkers represents. Dark creepers treat their tall, lithe masters almost like gods, presenting them with offerings and obeying their every whim. All of the heavy work and labor falls on the shoulders of the creepers, freeing the dark stalkers for their own decadent pleasures. Yet the dark creepers themselves see no inherent imbalance in this arrangement—to a dark creeper, a life in servitude to a dark stalker is a life fulfilled. The origins of the dark stalkers and dark creepers are shrouded in mystery, made even deeper by the fact that these folk do not keep records of their history. Many scholars believe that, just as the drow descended from elves, so too must the dark folk have descended from humanity; their eerie powers and spell-like abilities grew over generation upon generation of devotion to profane and sinister magic. Alas, the truth of the race’s history may never be known. Meenlock Small fey, neutral evil Challenge 2 (450 XP) Armor Class: 15 (natural armor) Hit Points: 31 (7d6+7) Speed: 30 ft.

Each mongrelman usually has characteristics from at least a half-dozen different races. This strange mixture enforces mongrelmen's place in the edges of the world, for they are shunned by all who fear their twisted appearance. Mistaken as enemies by all, mongrelmen prefer to be left alone. Most mongrelmen live below the surface of the world in hidden caves far from civilization. These creatures pride themselves on their survival skills, for the bowels of the earth are no place for weaklings. Other foul and intelligent races who claim dominion in the underworld take mongrelmen as slaves (particularly morlocks), finding this deformed race's docile nature and hardworking attitude makes them extremely useful as tools of labor. In this role, mongrelmen still fall back on their pride of survival, slow to rebel and patiently waiting for the overthrow of their masters. Mongrelmen dwelling on the surface sometimes live amid the hustle and bustle of cities, sequestering themselves in ghettos and sewers to avoid notice. Urban mongrelmen may rely on begging and pickpocketing to get by, but most form rural communities near trading routes. Despite their varied physical forms, most mongrelmen average 5–6 feet tall and weigh between 150 and 250 pounds on average. A tragically short lifespan limits the creatures' population growth—mongrelmen rarely live past 35 years.

In effect, a morlock is treated as constantly being under a nonmagical version of the spell spider climb, save that it cannot cling to smooth surfaces. This ability doubles the normal +8 racial bonus to Climb checks normally afforded creatures with a climb speed to a +16 racial bonus. Leap Attack (Ex) As a standard action, a morlock may make a single attack during a jump. It can make this attack at any point along the course of the leap—the start, the end, or while in mid-air. While jumping, a morlock does not provoke attacks of opportunity for leaving a threatened square. Swarming (Ex) Morlocks dwell and fight in cramped quarters every day of their lives, and as such are quite adept at swarming foes. Up to two morlocks can share the same square at the same time. If two morlocks in the same square attack the same foe, they are considered to be flanking that foe as if they were in two opposite squares. Degenerate humans long lost from the world of light, morlocks have regressed through years of subterranean dwelling into ravenous, barely thinking beasts of the endless night. They no longer remember the civilized lives their ancestors led, although many morlock tribes still dwell in the shattered ruins of their ancient homes. Ironically, in many cases morlocks worship the statues left behind by these ancestors as their gods. Morlock priests of such ancestor worship have access to the domains of Darkness, Earth, Madness, and Strength. A typical morlock stands just over 5 feet tall and weighs roughly 150 pounds.
- 223. 221 Morlocks move abouton two legs at times, but often drop down to a creepy four-limbed shuffle when speed or stealth is necessary. Their wiry, often emaciated frames mask the strength of their limbs and their swift reactions. Morlocks typically give birth to broods of three to four babies at a time, ravenous creatures born with a full set of teeth and a cannibalistic predisposition. The first few weeks of a brood's life must be carefully mothered to prevent attrition—it usually takes that long for the morlock young to overcome their natural inclination to feed on whatever is closest. Morlocks mature quickly, achieving adulthood after only 5 years of life. A typical morlock can live to a ripe old age of 60—although the majority of their kind die far sooner than that due to violence. Shambling Mound Shambling mounds were originally ents from Stygia transformed and twisted by Maldarvian experimentation in the attempts to produce a super soldier. Ents despise them, the ents of Stygia also despising all magicians because of them. Troll Large Monstrosity Created by the Kinslayer Curse during the Age of the Fallen from the corpses of elves slain by elves, Trolls use the 5E Monster Manual rules for Troll with the following additions and alterations: Longevity 8; Reproduce asexually upon entering a new age category by dividing in half vertically and each half regenerating a new half. The new troll produced is always adult. Cellular colonies rather than individual organisms, trolls have Immunity to bleeding and execution.

Their venomous bite inflicts 1d4 Venom Points on a failed save, continuing to do so each round until the save is made or the amount of accumulated venom points equals or surpasses the victim’s Constitution score. If the victim is Faerie, Fey, Giant, Halfling, Human, Orc, Pündi, or Tiefling, they transform into a tunnel cur within 1d4 rounds. If they are anything else, they die. Tunnel cur claws also have venom that causes the effect of a cumulative Slow spell on each hit if the save is failed. Each additional Slow effect drops speed again and grants Disadvantage to all rolls involving Dexterity, including attacks. When speed drops below 5 the victim is immobile. The effects of both venoms a removed by a long rest, if not transformed into a cur. Curs are named for the dog-like whining sounds they make to identify each other as curs. Phase Spider Aldyryc has two types of 5e Phase Spider, Phantom and Ghost, the former native to the Dreamworld and later the Ethereal Plane. Phantom spiders hunt the Dreamworld, the Material Plane, and the Dream time. Ghost spiders hunt the Ethereal Plane, the Material Plane, and the Dreamworld. Their lair is a web cocoon open at one end in the centre of a web with a 60’ radius sensitive to prey in the adjoining hunting planes. They are able to Plane Shift between the planes that they hunt. They may shoot webbing up to 30’as a +4 ranged attack that recharges with a roll of 5 or 6 on d6. The webbing restrains the target and requiring a DC11 Wisdom save to prevent becoming Paralyzed. Each round of being Restrained requires a DC11 Constituion save to prevent gaining 1 point of Exhaustion with a total of 6 points resulting in being Unconscious for 1 hour before rising to 5 points. During this time, victims are usually dragged into the lair. Siren of the Deep Rakshasa Aym, Kayn, and Abyl The rakshasa given in 5e is a Young Rakshasa born after the 1st Chaos Wave, unable to conceal their backward hands by shapeshifting. Elder Rakshasa were cloned from Kayn before the 1st Chaos Wave and Kayn is the first rakshasa, cursed with backward hands that the demigod can’t hide. There are 18 remaining elders in the Jade Court of Janniqoh, including Kayn, all of which are asexual. The first sexual rakshasa were mutated by the Chaos Wave.

Sasquatch The Sasquatch are massive hairy anthropoids that dwell in the remote valleys, grottos and the like, where Pearly Gates are located, serving as guardians. Omnivorous scavengers they live in small family groups and avoid other anthropoids. Yetis descend from rakshasa, sasquatch from rakshiri. A young sasquatch has the statistics of a Neutral Yeti, an elder is equal to a Neutral Abominable Yeti. However, instead of being Immune to Cold with a Fear of fire, and snow camouflage, sasquatch get advantage on all Stealth checks to hide or move silently in natural terrain, the ability to Tree Stride once per short rest and Transport via Plants once per long rest, and can use Druidcraft at will. Elder sasquatch get a howl with the same range as the abominable yeti’s breath weapon that grants the Frightened condition for 1 minute on a failed save as per Chilling Gaze. Shade Also appearing as three-dimensional anthropoid patches of dim air, shades differ from shadows in their passion of vague but recognizably individual features and whispering voices. The spirits of the dead dwell on the Ethereal Plane as shades while waiting to cross over into the Afterlife, or caught in Limbo. A shade possess all the character’s memories, HD, maximum hit points, abilities, skills, racial characteristics, and alignment they did in life, but are treated as having 5 points of Exhaustion which only crossing over can cure. Like all ethereal creatures, their base Speed is considered a Fly speed unless they already possess a better Fly speed as their movements are directed by thought. Unable to enter or interact with the Material Plane they possess what attacks they did in life on the Ethereal Plane minus equipment. Considered Celestials instead of Undead, shades are Immune to Suffocation, Starvation, Exhaustion, Poison, Sleep, Paralysis, and Cold.

Sirens live in labyrinthine lairs carved by creatures they've enslaved, and groups of ixitxachitls are led by the eldest mystics who teach those below in return. They are most often found in oceans, but they can also lair in rivers that run to the sea. Once they've become established in an area, ixitxachitls dominant all other intelligent creatures that trespass. Those that they capture are used as slaves - including humanoids and slaves can outnumber ixitxachitls two-to-one in large settlements. Sirens of the Deep possess all the class abilities appropriate to a 12 th level mystic with a Spell save DC of 16 and attack bonus of +8. They are able to eschew the requirements for standard crystal material components. Skinchanger Monstrosity 5E Monster Manual Lycanthropes do not have Lycanthropy on Aldyryc. Lycanthropy is a curse that inflicts the lycanthrope with possession by a barghest demon that manifests as werewolf. Skinchangers use the statistics and rules for 5E Lycanthropes but their

All possess Trackless Step, Eldritch Sight, and the Magical Adept feat withe Druidcraft as one of the 0 level spells. In any form, skinchangers can use Animal Friendship and Speak with Animals at will with non-magical beasts of their type. In animal form they have the Sleep Gaze ability of a Jackalwere, in hybrid form they can sing a song of Sleep (as spell with 20 range, see below) that requires a short rest to recharge, and in anthropoid form they can use Suggestion once before requiring a short rest recharge. Their anthropoid form may be half-elf, half-orc , or any type of elf, dwarf, human, but all will possess the individual’s particular facial features, age, and general body type (kean, bulky, tall, etc.) as appropriate for the racial form. All have learned the secret Druidic language, as well as knowing Common and getting the Linguist feat to learn Elfish, Dwarfish, Orc, or the local National Language. Leaders have +1HD and Elders +2HD. They have Longevity 1. They have no lycanthrope resistance overcome by silver, but possess the Durable and Tough feats and experience the effects of a short rest every time they change forms. Skinchanger are always partially neutral, the following alignments being typical and HD used for effect caster levels and proficiency bonuses: Bear (Werebear, 18HD, NG, Song 21d8hp); Boar (Wereboar, 12HD, N, Song 15d8hp); Jackal (Jackalwere, 4HD, CN, Song 7d8hp); Rat (Wererat, 6HD, NE, Song 9d8hp), Tiger (Weretiger, 16HD, N, Song 19d8hp), Wolf (Werewolf, 9HD, LN, Song 13d8hp) Skinchangers were once ordinary beasts of their type until the Second Chaos Wave turned them into Magical Beasts and were one of the few types of creatures that spread and prospered during the Age of the Fallen. Their personalities and temperaments remain rooted in their origin. Although also strongly rooted in the past, their social structures are adapted to and influenced by to the local anthropoid race. Feeling trapped between beast and anthropoid, they are fascinated by both, seeking the primal freedom of a beast but unsatisfied with its simplicity and limits while longing to be as capable of development as anthropoids, as well as accept as equals. With the same lifespan as humans they find it easiest to blend into their societies, even founding noble family lineages. A skinchanger can possess a Background option with all included abilities, benefits and features. They are proficient with Simple Weapons and any others mentioned in their Monster Manual descriptions. However, their resemblance to werewolves and rakshasa has led to some confusion between them in legends and histories. Their Druid abilities have also led to the mistaken belief that all druids are able to change into animals. Druids have encouraged this belief. Druids are one of the few groups outside skinchangers that skinchangers warily trust. Otherwise, they dwell near anthropoids and pass among them but remain secretive about their presence and nature for self-preservation. Skinchangers hate werewolves; wolf and bear ruthlessly hunting them down with only bears willing to offer a choice between death and attempted cure. S’Skahahn When formless in the Telestial Realms, these creatures are unaligned with unrateable ability scores and no monster classification (Fiend, etc.), are immune to all magic and damage except for Divine Energy. A blast of divine energy inflicts 1 point of Exhaustion upon an S’Skahahn if they fail to save with +10 and Advantage on the roll. The save DC depends on the Power Rank of the being channelling the energy: Apex DC25, Greater DC20, Lesser DC15, Minor DC10, Demi DC5, and Mortal on critical failure only.

Success inflicts 5d20 points of psychic damage and leaves the target Stunned 1 round and Frightened for 1d6 hours. The entity can switch forms as a bonus action, the death of a form forcing a switch to a living one. It can only absorb anthropoids but gets all their knowledge, skills, abilities, spells, and equipment, even gaining their personality and alignment while in that form.

At the start of the aeon's turn, the victim gains 1d4 negative levels (a DC 23 Fortitude save negates and grants immunity to this akhana's soul siphoning ability for 24 hours). When the number of negative levels equals the target's Hit Dice, the target's soul tears free from its mortal body and gets stored within the body of the akhana as a trap the soul spell. The victim's body remains preserved as if via a gentle repose spell for as long as the soul is held by the akhana. The akhana can keep the soul indefinitely, or can release it as a full- round action. Upon doing so, the released soul immediately returns to its body if the body is within 300 feet, at which point the body returns to life and any negative levels imparted to it by the akhana are removed. If the body is not within 300 feet (or if it has been destroyed), then the creature dies when its soul is released. A miracle, limited wish, or wish can force a displaced soul to return to its proper body. If an akhana is slain, any soul it contains is released automatically. An akhana can only hold one soul at a time. The save DC is Constitution-based. Akhanas bear charge over the duality of birth and death. They perceive the existence of living things as crucial to maintaining cosmic balance. They also understand the profound influence living things have on the cosmos, and if left untended, its ability to create terrible consequences. In this circumstance, life must give way to death.
- 228. 226 Akhanas wander thebyways of the multiverse, constantly on the hunt for imbalances in life. How they judge these imbalances is not well-understood by non- aeons, and the aeons are singularly unmotivated to justify akhanas' decisions when inquired about them. As a result, the focus of akhanas' attacks and attentions usually seems arbitrary or even random to most creatures—they do not always focus their attentions on the strongest or the weakest members of a group. An akhana stands 5 feet in height and weighs 120 pounds. Its strange central body seems vaporous, but is weirdly solid (and slimy) to the touch. Bythos A shimmering, colorless mass congeals to form a four- armed humanoid shape with an eye-like pattern in its torso.

The victim gains all of the penalties from this aging and none of the bonuses. A venerable victim targeted by this ability dies if it fails a DC 24 Fortitude save. This process is reversible with greater restoration, limited wish, miracle, or wish. The save DC is Constitution-based. Confusion Gaze (Su) Confusion for 1d4 rounds, 30 feet, Fortitude DC 24 negates. The save DC is Charisma- based. Temporal Strike (Su) As a standard action, a bythos can touch a creature or object to displace it from time. If the target fails a DC 24 Fortitude save, it disappears from the present moment and reappears in the same location 1d4 rounds later as if no time had passed. If an object occupies that space, the creature appears in the closest available space to its original location—this displacement does not cause the creature any additional harm. The save DC is Charisma-based. The bythos are guardians of time and planar travel— indeed, to bythos, the act of aging is nothing more than a highly specialized method of travel. Although bythos themselves have no additional method of traveling through time, they scour the multiverse, hunting for creatures that do have the ability to time-travel and may have abused this ability. Far more often, though, bythos seek out abuses of planar travel, such as tears in reality, regions where planes overlap, or creatures that abuse the use of planar travel. In some cases, such distortions are ignored, but in others, a bythos or even a full tribunal comes to assess and repair the damage. In most cases, "repair" is analogous to the death of the creature responsible for the distortions, but placing such creatures in temporal stasis can also solve the problem. While a bythos's body may seem to be made of smoke and vapor, it is strangely solid to the touch, feeling not

Paracletus A small cluster of shimmering lights floats in the air, orbited by multiple vibrant crystals and gemstones.

Three times per day, a paracletus can create an aura representing one of its two programmed emotions. Creatures in the area must make a DC 12 Will save to resist the aura. A creature that makes its save against the aura is unaffected by that aeon's aura for the next 24 hours. The paracletus can choose one creature in the area to ignore its effects. The effect of the aura lasts for 10 minutes, and ends if a creature moves more than 30 feet from the aeon. The aura is a mind-affecting compulsion effect. The save DC is Charisma-based. Specific emotive dualities and their powers follow—any single paracletus can only use one of these three dualistic options and cannot change to a different one. Courage/Fear: The aura acts as bless or bane. Empathy/Apathy: The aura gives creatures a +2 bonus or a –2 penalty on Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate checks. Hope/Despair: The aura gives creatures a +2 morale bonus on Will saving throws or a –2 penalty on Will saving throws. While mortals possess the gift of free will, both logic and emotion influence their decisions. The paracletus serve the aeons as agents who connect with mortals and study the influence of emotions (particularly the dualistic nature of raw emotion) upon mortal behavior. They wander the planes seeking mortals with particularly strong emotional or logical capabilities (characters with high Charisma or Intelligence scores). Once a paracletus locates such a creature, the paracletus remains nearby, studying the target's relationship with emotional and logical input and choices. Often, the paracletus will use its emotion aura on the target in order to study how outside influences affect the subject. Unfortunately for the target creature, whether or not the paracletus uses a helpful or harmful effect is, for all intents and purposes, a matter of random chance—even though to the paracletus's complex reasoning, nothing is left to actual random chance. If presented the option, a paracletus avoids direct combat, and uses its emotion aura to influence situations. If pressed to defend itself, it flies at opponents, slamming into them and discharging an electrical jolt of energy in addition to buffeting with its crystalline components. The crystals that orbit a paracletus are solidified aspects of logic, while the swirling vapors and lights that make up its central mass are manifestations of raw emotion—when a paracletus is slain, both the crystals and vapors fade away into nothingness. A paracletus can be chosen as a familiar by a 7th-level neutral spellcaster who has the Improved Familiar feat. A paracletus familiar does not abandon its mission to observe emotions and logic at play, but it does follow its master's orders—this is one situation where the application of a paracletus's emotion aura need not be random.

A pleroma's touch never heals damage. Spells A pleroma casts spells as a 20th-level cleric, but does not have access to domains. A pleroma can cast certain sorcerer/wizard spells as divine spells. Sphere of Creation (Su) Three times per day, the pleroma can manifest a 2-foot-diameter sphere of white energy that hovers above its left hand. By concentrating, the pleroma can control this sphere, causing it to fly slowly at a speed of 10 feet per round. The sphere can travel in any direction, but must remain within 300 feet of the pleroma or it immediately dissipates. Wherever the sphere travels, it leaves behind a 5-foot-wide path of new matter, creating either new terrain (such as swamp, tundra, desert, or forest) or a 10-foot-square wall composed of a single natural substance (such as clay, wood, or stone). Any existing matter, either living or nonliving that comes in
- 231. 229 contact with thesphere must make a DC 30 Fortitude save or be absorbed and incorporated into the new substance (only freedom, miracle, or wish can rescue creatures so trapped). Creatures that save are pushed to the nearest unoccupied location adjacent to the newly created substance. The sphere is highly unstable and only lasts 1d4 minutes before exploding with a blinding flash. All creatures within 30 feet of the flash must make a DC 30 Fortitude save or be permanently blinded. The save DCs are Constitution-based. Sphere of Oblivion (Su) Three times per day, the pleroma can manifest a 2-foot-diameter sphere of complete and utter darkness that hovers above its right hand. The sphere is an empty void similar to a sphere of annihilation. Any matter (living or nonliving) that touches the sphere must succeed on a DC 30 Fortitude save or be sucked into the sphere and destroyed. Larger objects (such as ships or buildings) are destroyed at a rate of one 10-foot cube per round of contact with the sphere. By concentrating, the pleroma can control this sphere, causing it to fly slowly at a speed of 10 feet per round. The sphere can travel in any direction, but must remain within 300 feet of the pleroma or it immediately dissipates. The sphere is highly unstable and only lasts 1d4 minutes before harmlessly imploding upon itself. Alternatively, the pleroma may hurl the sphere as a ranged touch attack (with a 10-foot range increment) against a single creature. When thrown in this manner, the sphere implodes immediately after the attack is resolved. The save DCs are Constitution-based. The pleroma is the most powerful of all the aeons. As a manifestation of the opposing acts of creation and destruction, a pleroma exists in a state of flux, its very form shifting between creation and oblivion within the ebon folds of its vaporous cloak. One who gazes upon a pleroma could spend days studying the continual changes of its form, which most resemble the shifting of celestial bodies within the universe sped up to a pace at which the swirling of galaxies and the tumble of planets form a strange dance. Pleromas view the concepts of creation and oblivion not so much as separate processes, but rather as two parts of a cyclical passage that everything in existence must explore. Pleromas guide this progression, ensuring everything remains balanced, such that whatever is created can be destroyed, and that nothing becomes so static that these two processes slow to a halt. For everything that attains a state of semi-permanence, there must be many more things that do not, or rather that cannot ever be reformed into a state of permanence. While pleromas believe in eternity, they understand that eternity is cyclical and infinity is something that repeats itself. Therefore, eternity and infinity are states that can be changed, or altered, if only slightly. Pleromas maintain such changes are necessary to keep the cosmos from becoming static and unbalanced, a state they refer to as apocalypse, or the end of everything. Of all the aeons, pleromas possess the strongest connection to the entity or concept they refer to as Monad. All aeons believe themselves to be extensions of this entity, and while they act freely and independently of the entity, they always act within the constricts of its will or needs. This behavior is not so much a state of servitude as a symbiosis in which the actions of the pleromas are universally beneficial to both themselves and the entity they are part of. Pleromas describe Monad as the sentience of the multiverse, from which all things are created through the recycling of everything that ever existed. Pleromas typically travel alone. Their arrival in a region almost always heralds some sort of dramatic change. They pay little mind to the wants and needs of other creatures, and remain entirely focused upon their primary task. They avoid conflicts of ethics, wars, and similar pursuits, save when manipulating such events would help to restore the balance between creation and oblivion. Should any be so foolish as to attempt to interfere with or sway their work, pleromas immediately retaliate by bringing all of their significant powers and devastating abilities to bear until the intervention is destroyed.

Whenever it strikes a foe with these tentacles, the creature struck must make a DC 17 Will save or take 1d4 points of Charisma damage. Until a creature's Charisma damage from this ability is healed, the victim takes a –2 penalty on all saving throws (regardless of the actual total amount of Charisma damage it takes). The save DC is Constitution- based. Wreath of Fate (Su) As a full-round-action every 1d4 rounds, a theletos can release a 60-foot cone of energy from its chest. Any intelligent creature struck by this cone must make a DC 15 Will save or become nearly overwhelmed with the knowledge of various fates that destiny has in store for him—there is no way to make sense of these myriad dooms and boons, and as a result, the victim is staggered. As long as this condition persists, the victim may choose to make two rolls when attempting an attack roll, a saving throw, or a skill check—he must accept the worse of the two rolls, but in so doing the wreath of fate passes from his soul and he is no longer staggered by this ability. Wreath of fate is a curse effect, and as such can be affected by remove curse or break enchantment—the effective caster level of this curse is equal to the theletos's HD (CL 9th in most cases). The save DC is Charisma-based. The strange theletos is the guardian of the duality between freedom and fate. Slavery is no more of an issue to a theletos than is true freedom, but without one, the other cannot exist. In areas where slavery is rife, a theletos might aid in freeing some slaves, while in regions where slavery has been abolished, this strange being works to subjugate many creatures with its own mind-controlling spell-like abilities—often encouraging them to further undertake acts of slavery themselves. The theletos is also a guardian of fate and prophecy, and while for some creatures it might allow glimpses of futures, others who peer into the future almost seem to cause the aeon physical pain. The theletos cannot explain why one seer might be allowed to divine futures while another should not—it knows only that some prophets should be denied this pursuit.

Avorals are generally human-shaped, but their upper limbs are great wings with a human-like hand at the end of each, allowing avorals to use tools and weapons, though in battle they prefer to attack from the air and slash with the large claws on their feet and buffets from their great wings. An avoral's head has a feathery cowl instead of hair, typically brown, white, gray, or golden, and its facial features are bird-like, with a large nose and piercing eyes. Its bones are hollow but strong, making it ideal for flying. Like eagles, avorals have phenomenal vision, and can see fine details even at great distances. Though on their home plane they are content to soar among the clouds and challenge each other to diving contests among the mountain peaks, in war avorals are the scouts, spies, and messengers of the agathions. With their incredible speed, phenomenal eyesight, and magical powers, they can sneak into an area, spy on whatever lives there, silently converse with the local fauna for additional information, and fly or teleport out again with a comprehensive report. They are experts at hit-and-run attacks and are often responsible for ferrying other celestial soldiers to battle. A typical avoral is 7 feet tall but weighs only 120 pounds.

Stun (Ex) Any creature moved by a cetaceal's push attack must make a DC 25 Fortitude saving throw or be stunned for 1 round. The DC is Constitution-based. Cetaceals are great water-dwelling agathions who swim the planar seas and commune with the creatures of the deeps. Rarely seen by landwalkers, they defend the waters against aquatic evils such as aboleths. Their spirits usually were those of great mortal leaders of aquatic or coastal tribes, or good folk who died underwater serving some great cause, reborn in a celestial form that is part humanoid, part orca. They are social beings and develop close friendships with other celestials and marine creatures. A cetaceal is 8 feet long and weighs 400 pounds, although some grow quite a bit larger than that.

These determine the draconal's breath weapon, the additional energy damage of its claw and bite attacks, additional resistances and immunities, and its additional domain choices (see Spells, below). Divine Insight (Su) A draconal adds its Charisma bonus as an insight bonus to Armor Class. Protective Aura (Su) Against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures, this ability provides a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saving throws to anyone within 20 feet of the draconal. Otherwise, it functions as a magic circle against evil effect and a lesser globe of invulnerability, both with a radius of 20 feet (caster level equals draconal's HD). (The defensive benefits from the circle are not included in a draconal's stat block.) Spells Draconals cast spells as 17th-level clerics. Like clerics, they have access to two domains, selecting from the following list: Air, Good, Nobility, Weather, and two additional domain options based on their color (see facing page). The majority of draconals choose Good and Nobility as their domains (as represented by this stat block). Draconals have a domain spell slot at each spell level but do not gain the granted powers of their chosen domains, nor do they gain access to other cleric abilities. Draconals are mighty agathion lords, few in number and greatly removed from mortal affairs. They watch over powerful magic and are direct agents of the gods and the needs of the good planes. Patient and ageless, they plan for the long term, which often frustrates mortal creatures who seek to gain their assistance with a threat in the here and now. A draconal would rather support or enhance a group of heroes than tackle a problem directly, maintaining its focus on planar matters. Draconals are attuned to nature and believe in cycles of life and death. Though they are good, they understand that the presence of evil gives good creatures something to strive against, preventing stagnation and complacency. This means their outlook sometimes appears almost neutral, though they hate suffering and needless death. Draconal Colors A draconal's coloration represents mystical elements relating to energy, life, and the natural world. These colors are normally chromatic rather than metallic, and an ignorant person seeing a draconal's colors may mistake her for an evil half-dragon. However, some draconals have metallic or gem-like coloration; for example, a yellow draconal may appear mustard yellow or metallic gold, while a white draconal may be chalk white, pearlescent white, or metallic silver. Draconals can change their coloration after a lengthy period of meditation, but normally only do this in response to some horrible evil that requires their direct intervention. This change affects the draconals' personality, and may alter their physical shape or apparent gender. Black: Black is a balance between male and female energy, and represents the sky, stars, immortality, and leadership. Black draconals are immune to fire damage, and their breath weapon is fire. A black draconal adds Fire, Glory, and Fortune to its list of possible domains. Green: Green is slightly skewed toward masculinity. It represents wood, plants, and flowers. Green draconals are immune to cold damage, and their breath weapon is cold. A green draconal adds Animal, Plant, and Water to its list of possible domains. Red: Red is a strongly masculine color, and most red draconals are male or have aggressive or gregarious personalities. Red represents fire, light, and warding against bad luck. Red draconals are immune to fire damage, and their breath weapon is fire. A red draconal
- 236. 234 adds Fire, Protection,and Sun to its list of possible domains. White: White is slightly skewed toward femininity, and most white draconals are female or have protective or serene personalities. White represents brightness, fulfillment, metal, mourning, and purity. White draconals are immune to cold damage, and their breath weapon is cold. A white draconal adds Artifice, Liberation, and Repose to its list of possible domains. Yellow: Like black, yellow is a balance between male and female energy. Yellow represents earth, oracles, stone, and luck. Yellow draconals are immune to acid, and their breath weapon is acid. A yellow draconal adds Earth, Glory, and Fortune to its list of possible domains. Leonal This lion-headed humanoid has golden fur, sharp teeth, and long cat-like claws on its hands and feet.

Otherwise, it functions as a magic circle against evil effect and a lesser globe of invulnerability, both with a radius of 20 feet (caster level equals leonal's HD). The defensive benefits from the circle are not included in a leonal's stat block. Roar (Su) Up to three times per day, a leonal can emit a powerful roar as a standard action. Each roar affects a 60-foot cone with the effects of a holy word spell and also deals 2d6 points of sonic damage to all creatures in the area (DC 21 Fortitude negates). This is a sonic effect. The save DC is Charisma-based. A leonal is a lion-like agathion, noble and fierce. Though gentle with their families and patient with strangers on their home plane, in battle leonals are deadly foes of evil and cruelty. They hunt fiends and other evil monsters, silently tailing their prey until they find the right time to leap and slash. Leonals pride themselves on their hunting prowess, and few land creatures can match their speed. Although capable of using weapons, the majority of leonals prefer to battle evil with tooth and claw. Leonals like their battles to be straightforward affairs. They begin with a roar to put their foes off balance, then follow up with claw and bite attacks. They closely coordinate with others in their pride, watching one another's flanks and setting up devastating attacks. They mainly use their magical abilities against large numbers of weaker foes and against those they need to capture or incapacitate without dealing harm to them. Leonals stand 6 feet tall and weigh 270 pounds on average. Males usually have manes of either dark gold or black hair, which may only surround the head or may extend onto the shoulders and chest. Female leonals do not have manes, but may have longer hair on the back of the neck.

Once per day as a standard action, it can also grant this bonus to one ally within 30 feet for 10 minutes. Heroic Strength (Su) Once per day, a silvanshee can grant itself a +8 enhancement bonus to Strength for 1 minute. Spectral Mist (Su) A silvanshee can assume an eerie, mist-like form roughly the size and shape of a cat. This ability has the same effect as a gaseous form spell, except the silvanshee retains its own DR and supernatural abilities and can move at its normal speed. It can remain in mist form up to 5 minutes per day. This duration does not have to be consecutive, but it must be used in 1-minute increments. Silvanshees are curious but reclusive cat agathions. Unobtrusive and able to blend in among normal animals (unlike the more anthropomorphic agathions), they are the eyes and ears of the good planes in the mortal world. Most roam hills, forests, and plains, keeping an eye out for evil influences. They can be taken as familiars by 7th-level good spellcasters who utilize the Improved Familiar feat and meet the proper prerequisites. As familiars, silvanshees act as moral guides and steer their mortal allies toward corruptive forces that must be eliminated. In some mortal lands, they are called cat sìth or cath sidhe, and are believed to be disguised witches or fairies—and not necessarily benign creatures, which only encourages silvanshees to avoid strangers. Silvanshees are not fond of open combat, even against demons, devils, or other fiendish threats, and they're likely to run away if confronted. When they must fight, they prefer greater numbers and the element of surprise, using their magic to temporarily overcome their physical weaknesses, and melting away into mist if the battle turns against them. A silvanshee is the size of a large domestic cat, though almost always sleek rather than fat, and weighs 20 pounds on average.

Any creature entering this area must make a Will save (DC 16) to resist the effect. A creature that makes its save is immune to that vulpinal's aura for 24 hours. The save DC is Charisma-based. Among the smallest of the agathions, vulpinals tend to be the most outspoken and friendly of their kind, and also the most far-ranging across the planes. A vulpinal looks like a humanoid fox, often with brilliantly colored fur (usually red or red-brown, though silver is not uncommon) and a tail as long as its height. As the bards and sages of the agathions, they dress in functional clothing, typically embellishing a single article to show their creativity and personality. Most appear to be adults, though others look more like fox kits (with shorter stature and larger eyes) while some look much older (leaner, with gray fur on the muzzle, chest, and tail). Their hands are humanoid in shape, with tiny clawed fingers. A typical vulpinal prefers a life of solitary travel, though they have been known to pair up or travel in groups if they find like-minded individuals who have much to teach and share. They are particularly fond of lillends, and these winged azatas can easily carry the child-sized vulpinals, giving vulpinals many opportunities to share stories. Indeed, for a vulpinal, there are few greater pleasures than sharing their knowledge—acting as sages of the planes, teaching songs and dances from exotic places, and composing poems about beautiful places in the natural world. Though they are gentle by nature, they fight to defend beauty, especially if their magic can bolster the more martial celestial races. A vulpinal stands about 3 feet in height and weighs 50 pounds. Daemon Daemons are demonic spirits given form. These NE creatures include: Balrog (5e Balor): created by Cthulhu as personal guards and commanders Shadow Daemon (5e Shadow Demon): created by Cthulhu as spies and infiltrators Succubus/Incubus (5e Succubus): Night Terror/Dream Daemon children of Pazuzu and the Old Hag of the Shadow Realms; Native to the Dreamworld, Able the Plane Shift to and from Material Plane rather than Etherealness, can use Dream to pull a victim’s Astral self into Dreamworld for charming and draining kiss, those drained to 0 transform into Cambion daemons as per 5e, except that they can transform from their original appearance to that of a cambion at will and can only Plane Shift back and forth from the Dream World. The cambion retains the victim’s class abilities if an Evil alignment allows but no longer rises in level. Night Hag (5e Night Hag): Night Terror/Dream Daemon daughters of Orcus and the Old Hag of the Shadowlands; Native to the Dreamworld, unable to use Etherealness, instead can use Dream once to pull victim’s Astral self into Dreamworld for its Nightmare Haunting with any alignment of spirit being capable of capture Yugoloth: (as 5e) are the common daemons of Gehenna. Gorgon (5e Medusa): instead of being bull-like, Aldyryc gorgons are the daughters of Medusa and Orcus, able to Cast Suggestion 3 times per
- 239. 237 day. Native tothe Shadowlands, they are able to Plane Shift to the Material Plane during the Witching Hour of the Night of Darkness. Once there they must become pregnant by mating with an elf, human, half-elf, hellion, half-orc, or half-ogre, without petrifying him by keeping him from seeing her face. Once pregnant, she poisons and eats him and can then return to the Shadowlands on the next Night of Darkness Witching Hour to give birth to her daughter. Demon Planar Allay and Conjure Celestial work to summon entities from the Immortal Sphere and the Telestial Realms, including Celestials, genies, Fiends, demons, daemons, aeon, flux, and rakshiri. Similar to Lux and Flux, demons are formless spirits of amorphous darkness, virtually indistinguishable from one another. Unlike flux and lux, which create forms when conjured by drawing upon environmental light, energy, and elements, a demon requires and anthropoid body because of the Demon Wall. Summoned into a corpse, the demon rises as a ghast. All ghasts are statistically the same, regardless of the power of demon within. Once each round, the ghast may as a bonus action use a successful attack hit to attempt to possess the target and abandon the ghast shell (See Magic: Demon Summoning). Only once in a living host does its true nature become apparent as its abilities emerge. Dangerous and unpredictable, any attempt to summon a demon requires a d% roll to determine what gets conjured: 01-80= Dretch; 81-90= CR1-CR5; 91-95= CR6- CR10; 96-98= CR11-CR15; 99= CR16-Cr20; 00= CR21+. When a ghast spawns another ghast, the demon reproduces its own type by budding off its qi. If a ghast is killed, the body remains intact for 1 round during which time the demon may attempt to possess anyone who touches the body. After 1 round the demon loses its grip and is banished and the body decays normally. All demons get access to the Forms of Chaos, Destruction, and Evil as a priest of a level equal to their CR. Those of less than CR1 get Chaos and Destruction at CR ½ and Destruction at Cr ¼. A demon in possession of an unwilling host may wield its formal and inherent magical powers as well as any of those belonging to the host but only in a willing host may it manifest its full physical capabilities in a form chosen from the fears and nightmares of the host or those it faces. All demons are able to use Vicious Mockery as a 0 level spell-like ability as well as Detect Thoughts and Tongues at will with their CR as casting level (minimum 1). They are able to use Vicious Mockery as a bonus action enabling two uses in a round.

Strength Drain (Su) A shemhazian demon deals 2d4 points of Strength drain with each successful bite. A DC 27 Fortitude save reduces this amount to 1d4 points of Strength damage. The save DC is Constitution-based. Although nearly all the horrors of the Abyss prey upon one another in an endless, eternal bloodbath, shemhazians are predators among predators. They are more intimidating and physically powerful than most demons, combining the features of numerous insectile and bestial hunters into one massive, deadly form. Although they don't require sustenance, shemhazians take perverse delight in mutilating and eating their victims. Replacing Marilith as a Type 5 Demon, a shemhazian stands 35 feet tall and weighs 12,000 pounds. They form from the sinful souls of torturers and those who enjoyed mutilating living victims to death.

These weapons function as +1 daggers that bestow one permanent negative level on a successful hit. A DC 27 Fortitude negates the negative level, although on a critical hit, no save is allowed. The save DC is Charisma-based. Death-Stealing Gaze (Su) 1 permanent negative level, 30 ft., Fort DC 27 negates. Creatures slain by these negative levels become juju zombies under the vrolikai's control. The save DC is Charisma-based. Madness (Su) A creature stung by a vrolikai's tail must make a DC 27 Will save to resist taking 1d6 points of Charisma drain and becoming confused for 1d4 rounds. On a successful save, the victim is instead staggered for 1d4 rounds as strange visions assault its mind. This is a mind-affecting effect. The save DC is Charisma-based. Multiweapon Mastery (Ex) A vrolikai never takes penalties on its attack roll when fighting with multiple weapons.
- 241. 239 Replacing Balor asa Type 6 Demon, a vrolikai is 14 feet tall but weighs only 500 pounds. Unlike other demons, it does not form from a sinful soul—it instead manifests from a nabasu demon that returns to the Abyss after growing to maturity on the Material Plane. Not all nabasus survive this transformation, but those who do become powerful indeed—vrolikai usually rule large regions of unclaimed Abyssal land, and often serve as assassins or ambassadors to demon lords in need of an agent in a distant realm. Empyrean Native to Ekstasis, Empyreans serve the Agathions and protect spirits waiting to enter by patrolling the Dream Time. Evil Empyreans have been changed by time in the Shadowlands near Abaddon. Fayd The Fayd are entities of shadow and illusion based of the Fayd from Pathfinder Bestiary 3 native to the Dream Time. Their Shadow Evocation may be used to produce the effect of a Mirror Image spell or an energetic Conjuration (i.e. Burning Hands) but with psychic as the damage type.

A fayd can deal 1d6 points of cold damage with a touch. It adds +1d6 points of cold damage to any melee weapon damage it deals. Lesser Shadow Evocation (Sp) This spell-like ability functions identically to the spell shadow evocation, but it can only create quasi-real versions of sorcerer or wizard evocation spells of 2nd level or lower. This spell-like ability is the equivalent of a 3rd- level spell. The mysterious people known as the fayds are natives of the Shadow Plane. In their own language, their name means "unbound" or "unfettered." According to fayd history, they were once humanoids who through tireless study and self-perfection managed to transcend the bonds of a definite form. Though they still bear roughly humanoid shapes, fayds' outlines are perpetually wispy and impossible for any non-fayds to focus directly on. Though fayds may engage in all the same pursuits and professions as other humanoids, their overwhelming racial pride often leads them to see all other humanoids—especially humans—as lesser beings. Ironically, this casual disdain sometimes leads individual fayds to gather harems of worshipful human consorts, and it is from these unions that fetchlings often issue. Humans involved in such relationships often hope to learn the secret of the fayds' power over shadows, and claim that only in sacred union with the creatures can one glimpse their true features. Fayds are roughly 6 feet tall and weigh 100 pounds. They often wear masks and form-fitting clothing when around other creatures in order to give the lesser beings something to focus on (such garments do not impede their blur ability). Feyr The native entities of Abaddon are fiendish unliving nightmares called feyrs ranging from greyscale shadow anthropoids to horrors such as nightterrors, nightwalkers, nightwings, and nightcrawlers. All feyrs have the following special abilities.
- 242. 240 Aversion to Daylight Ifexposed to natural daylight (not merely a daylight spell), feyrs take a -4 penalty on all attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks. Desecrating Aura All feyrs give off a 20-foot radius emanation of utter desecration, as if Hallowed to Orcus. All undead within 20 feet of the feyr (including the creature itself) gain advantage on attack rolls and saving throws, and +2 on damage as well as +2 hit points per HD. (The feyr Hit Dice, attack, and save entries given here include these profane bonuses.) Checks made to turn undead within this area are at disadvantage with saves at advantage. A feyr’s desecrating aura cannot be dispelled except by a Dispel Evil spell or similar effect. If the effect is dispelled, the feyr can resume it as an interaction action on its next turn. Its desecrating aura is suppressed if a feyr enters a consecrated or hallowed area, but the feyr’s presence also suppresses the consecrated or hallowed effect for as long as it remains in the area. Terrifying Visage Feyrs call to the primal fears in those who see them requiring creatures first doing so to make a Willpower save or become Frightened with a critical failure adding Incapacitated until a successful save reduced it to just Frightened. A creature can only be affected one per 24 hours. Strike Dumb A feyr can use Feeblemind as a spell-like ability recharged on a 6. Worst Nightmare A feyr can use Phantasmal Killer as a spell-like ability recharged on a 5 or 6. Undead Paragon Feyrs have access to the Undead Aspect of the Death Form at a priest level equal to their HD using Willpower for their casting ability.

A spectral white mist fills its throat, the same as that inside the single orb of an eye unblinking above its mouth. Able to condense itself and spring up to 60’ horizontally or 30’ vertically as an action, these horrors often dwell in deep pits an spring out upon victims with surprise. Anyone attacking a nightterror with melee reach of less than 10’ must make a Dexterity save at DC20 to avoid 4d6 points of necrotic damage from the tarlike tentacles. Anyone coming in contact with its web, or hit by such, must make Dexterity save to avoid getting Restrained along with Enfeebled (as per Ray of Enfeeblement) and accruing 1 point of Exhaustion. Able to attack up to three individuals with its six mouth tentacles, each Requires a Dc20 Constituion save to avoid being Paralyzed for 1d6 hours. Paralyzed victims are pulled into the throat mist on its next tentacle action, each round therein the victims suffers suffocation and 3d6 necrotic until the necrotic damage lowers their hit points below their Constituion score. At this point the rotting corpse becomes part of the Nightterror increasing its hit point total from the usual 7 / Dice by 1 per victim devoured. Once the Maximum Hit points for d12 are reached, each victim adds 5 temporary hit points lost only through damage. A nightterror measures about 6 feet in diameter with an 18’ long body tipped by web spinners for tarlike webbing. It can spin complex webs and spray targets up to 30’ away.

Combat A nightcrawler attacks by burrowing through the ground and emerging to strike. A nightcrawler’s natural weapons are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. Energy Drain (Su) Living creatures inside a nightcrawler’s gizzard gain one negative level each round. The DC is 26 for the Fortitude save to remove a negative level. The save DC is Charisma-based. For each such negative level bestowed, the nightcrawler gains 5 temporary hit points. Improved Grab (Ex) To use this ability, a nightcrawler must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can try to swallow the opponent in the following round. Poison (Ex) Injury, Fortitude DC 22, initial and secondary damage 2d6 Str.

Caster level 25th. The save DCs are Charisma-based. Summon Undead (Su) A nightcrawler can summon undead creatures once per night: 9-16 shadows, 3-6 greater shadows, or 2-4 dread wraiths. The undead arrive in 1d10 rounds and serve for 1 hour or until released. Swallow Whole (Ex) A nightcrawler can try to swallow a grabbed opponent of Huge or smaller size by making a successful grapple check. Once inside, the opponent takes 2d8+12 points of bludgeoning damage plus 12 points of acid damage per round from the nightcrawler’s gizzard and is subject to the creature’s energy drain. A swallowed creature can cut its way out by using a light slashing or piercing weapon to deal 35 points of damage to the gizzard (AC 21). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out. A nightcrawler’s interior can hold 2 Huge, 8 Large, 32 Medium, 128 Small, 512 Tiny or smaller opponents.

Anyone striking a brijidine with a natural weapon or unarmed strike takes 1d6 points of fire damage. A creature that grapples a brijidine or is grappled by one takes 6d6 points of fire damage each round the grapple persists. Heat Stone (Su) Whenever a brijidine uses her meld into stone, soften earth and stone, spike stones, stone shape, or wall of stone spell-like abilities, she can have the affected stone radiate intense heat for 1 minute. Any creature within 5 feet of the stone takes 1d6 fire damage per round. Lava Blast (Su) A brijidine can hurl a glob of lava at a target as a standard action. This attack has a range increment of 30 feet. Obsidian Blade (Ex) At will as a free action, a brijidine can create a blade of jagged volcanic glass that functions as a +1 flaming burst keen longsword. One round after it leaves the brijidine's grasp, the weapon decays into useless powder. Brijidines are passionate, powerful azatas attuned to the powers of earth and fire. They love basking in volcanoes, writing poetry, tending to sick creatures, and pursuing spicy recipes. The quickest way to befriend a brijidine is to present her with a fireproof copy of an exotic poem or a bag of rare peppers. Though their power is tied to primal destruction, they are quick- witted and love clever wordplay, whether in a sonnet or a dirty limerick. The brijidine sees fire as a form of purity, a marked difference from its classical association with devastation and destruction. To a brijidine, the existence of hellfire is the rankest blasphemy, and while many azatas look to
- 245. 243 the demons ofthe Abyss as their greatest enemies, it is among the devils of Hell that most brijidines find focus for their anger. The fact that devils are immune to fire, the brijidine's greatest strength, frustrates and angers these azatas all the more, forcing them to become far more imaginative and creative in their tactics when facing such foes. A brijidine stands 5-1/2 feet tall and weighs 150 pounds. Bralani Silver-white hair the color of a lightning strike whips about this poised elf-like archer, his eyes swirling with vibrant colors.

The save DC is Constitution-based. Wind Form (Su) A bralani can shift between its humanoid body and a body made of wind and mist as a standard action. In humanoid form, it cannot fly or use its whirlwind blast. In wind form, it functions as if under the effects of a wind walk spell. It can make slam attacks and use spell-like abilities in either form. A bralani remains in one form until it chooses to assume its other form. A change in form cannot be dispelled, nor does the bralani revert to any particular form when killed (both shapes are its true form). A true seeing spell reveals both forms simultaneously. Bralanis are among the fiercest and wildest of the azatas, living from moment to moment and always on the lookout for chances to test their skill in battle. In addition to their elf-like forms, they can take the shape of whirlwinds of dust, snow, or sand. In the mortal realm, they are often mistaken for djinn. They delight in violent weather, not for the destructive qualities of such events, but for the intensity and energy, and many tales describe bralani as spirits who laugh as they sail amid the strongest storms. Bralanis do not need to eat, but they enjoy doing so. Most prefer elven food, fiery human dishes, and spiced wine. Because of their similarities to elementals and fey, they sometimes act as intermediaries between mortals, elementals, and fey, though they prefer to arrange temporary truces that allow the interested parties to conduct their own negotiations on neutral ground. When taking the role of mediators—or whenever else such opportunities present themselves— bralani are quick to suggest friendly competitions or games to end disputes and enjoy creating challenges or complicated contests to test both physical and mental mortal prowess.

Nonevil creatures, and evil creatures with more than 5 HD, must succeed on a DC 18 Will save or be shaken for 2d10 rounds. A creature that saves against a ghaele's gaze is immune to that particular ghaele's gaze for 24 hours. This is a mind-affecting fear effect. The save DCs are Charisma-based. Light Form (Su) A ghaele can shift between its solid body and one made of light as a standard action. In solid form, it cannot fly or use light rays. In light form, it can fly and gains the incorporeal quality—it can make light ray attacks or use spell-like abilities in this form, but can't make physical attacks or cast spells. This ability otherwise functions similarly to a bralani's wind form ability. Light Ray (Ex) A ghaele's light rays have a range of 300 feet. This attack bypasses all damage reduction. Spells Ghaeles cast divine spells as 13th-level clerics. They do not gain access to domains or other cleric abilities. Ghaeles are the most knightly of the azatas, hunting fiends, dragons, and undead with equal vigor. Most appear like idealized humans or elves and are quick to smile—and equally quick to strike against those they perceive as wicked.

Spells A lillend casts spells as a 7th-level bard. They favor enchantment and healing spells. Among the azatas, lillends are the tale-tellers and chroniclers, gathering lore and recording stories in the form of epic poems and songs. They are generally peaceful, though they are swift to act if they believe a piece of rare art or a talented artist is threatened. A lillend's lower section is about 20 feet long, and a typical lillend weighs 3,800 pounds. Although they have no need of mortal nourishment, it is said that lillends sup on the joy of music, art, and performance. They also love unspoiled wilderness and seek out places in the mortal realm that remind them of the beauty of their home plane. From the lore of numerous races come tales of these muses, particularly those that have taken a vested interest in the training of a single talented prodigy or the ongoing creation of some fantastic work of art. Such legends sometimes prove true, as all lillends have their favorite works, creations, and artists, and often visit the Material Plane to enjoy their splendor and make sure they remain safe. In the defense of such beauty, lillends prove passionate foes, calling upon the might of nearby allies or crushing philistines in their striking but deadly coils.

- 248. 246 Starlight Blast (Su)As a standard action once every 1d4 rounds, a lyrakien can tap into the divine power of Elysium, unleashing a blast of holy starlight in a 5-foot burst. All creatures in this area take 1d4 points of holy damage, plus 1 point for each step their alignment deviates from chaotic good. For example, a chaotic neutral or neutral good creature would take 1d4+1 points of damage, a neutral creature would take 1d4+2 points of damage, and a lawful evil creature would take 1d4+4 points of damage. A DC 12 Reflex save negates this damage. Chaotic good creatures are unaffected by this ability. The save DC is Constitution-based. Traveler's Friend (Su) The performances and company of a lyrakien ease the burden of travel. Once per day, a creature may spend a minute listening to a lyrakien's performance—doing so removes the effects of exhaustion and fatigue from the listener. Lyrakien are divine musicians and messengers, mainly in the employ of deities of travel and natural wonders. They love to explore and visit beautiful places, especially locations with excellent views of rainbows, moonlight, and the stars. Whimsical and joyous, they love contests of song, dance, and knowledge, and keep journeys happy by distracting their companions from weary feet and stale food. Mortals who please them with excellent tales and new songs may be rewarded with elaborate maps, forgotten shortcuts, or rambling directions to hidden locations that hold lost magic. Lyrakien are light-hearted creatures, but they are very protective of breathtaking natural locations. Often called "glistenwings" by gnomes and halflings, lyrakien are frequently mistaken for fey—while they are generally friendly with true fey, their origin is the plane of Elysium. Like other azatas, they grow restless if they stay in one place too long. Modron Native entities of the Astral Sea, Modrons serve Aeons. Seraph Also called the Shining Ones, seraphim are angelic beings composed of radiance native to Novus Lucidum that nurture the infant spirits born from Genesis. They are NG 5e Angels divided into Teachers (Deva), Guides (Planetars), and Arbiters (Solars). Titan Meant to be the leaders of the failed Giant civilization, titans are equal to storm giants with the class abilities of a mystic of a level equal to their CR attuned to the Radiant Key, the ability to use Enlarge/Reduce on themselves at will, and the ability to craft and wield a Hammer of Thunderbolts. Titans are paragons of Storms and War. Undead Aldyryc’s undead are created by dark qi infecting a corpse to animate it or a living person to enwrap the light qi spirit and take control, with the spirit helpless inside. Undead can feed on spiritual and physical qi to grow more powerful or to build and improve bodies that they animate. When the physical form of an Undead is destroyed, the spiritual form animating it is kicked out with one hit point per HD remaining and Exhaustion Level 3. Aldyryc campaigns don’t use standard mummies, mummy lords, or death knights. Non-standard undead such as crypt things and skeleton warriors are the result of Wishes cast by Orcus priests, the dying, or Orcus himself. Ghasts are a form of ghoul created only by the possession of a corpse by a demon. Origins The first undead were the cthoi, monstrosities created by Orcus and Cthulhu from fallen rakshasa and rakshiri. These created the first wights and juju zombies from those of their kin not also turned into cthoi. The physical destruction of wights released the first incorporeal undead, poltergeists. The magic of the Mortis Liber helped rakshasa transform their enemies into skeletons, zombies and ghouls, leading to the release of specters and shadows. The 1st Chaos Wave then separated those cthoi from before into Elders and those later produced solely from rakshasa into Young while unlocking the ability to evolve through feeding in their lesser spawn. The first ghosts were faerie, almost solely banshees because only such unfocused intense hatred could make a faerie refuse the return to the Faerie Realms. The first lich was Sauron the Necromancer, First Emperor of Murhkar, using the ritual in the Mortis Liber discovered by his goblin father Melkor, First Priest of Orcus, and the First Sorcerer. The first mummies were his nine hobgoblin bodyguards, the Nazgûl. Apparition Medium Undead Neutral Evil Slaying a Voidsoul releases an apparition with the usual handicaps. An Apparition is an extremely pale 5e Shadow, an anthropoid dimness in the air with the following adjustments:
- 249. 247 Strength, Constitution,and Charisma are all reduced to 1 In combat or in motion it is treated as if affected by a Blur spell and it is Invisible when motionless outside of combat. Its touch attack inflicts 1d8 points of necrotic damage to the target, granting disadvantage on their attack rolls against the apparition until the end of its next turn, and preventing the target from regaining hit points until the start of the apparition’s next turn. An apparition only feeds on the qi remaining in the corpse, desiccating it, and is only able to evolve into a Shadow by feeding enough to gain a shadow’s full HD. Cthoi Also known as a Pale Whisperer, a Shadow Stalker, and a Soul Eater, a Cthoi is a 8th level Paragon of the Forms of Evil, Darkness, and the Undead Aspect of Death. Telepathic and connected with Cthulhu, Every cthoi within 30’ of another cthoi adds 2 sorcery points and 1 Paragon level of to each one in the chain. Cthoi can use sorcery points for Paragon spells. Elder Known as the Thirteen, cthoi elders are 13th level paragons with the class abilities of 12th level Fate Mystics and the Tough feat. Created by Orcus for Cthulhu for Ragnarok out of captured and dead rakshiri. They appear as skeletal anthropoids with pale, slimy white flesh like a dead fish stretched tight over its bones. Its seven feet in height, like their sources. Their long skinny arms end in long boney fingers tipped with curved claws. Normal rakshasa are transformed by blood drain into Young Cthoi of equal HD and sorcerous magic. Elder Cthoi come from rakshiri and rakshasa from before the wave. They are all level 20 - 30 Wizards. Their leonine skull has no mouth. Instead a mass of small tentacles dangle and writhe from the upper jaw, able to drill into victim and syphon out blood. The drain is double a vampires and creates vampires of non rakshiri types, under its control. The slime causes a sensuous, pleasurable sensation and prevents clotting. Their claws inflict twice the neg levels of dark qi as a vampire, creating wights under its control Instead of ears, two tentacles grow from the sides of the skull each nearly three feet long and slender, tipped with a long spine able to puncture a skull and suck out the spirit, replacing it with dark qi to create a voidsoul under its control. Each tentacle can hold one spirit. The cthoi can use it to power spells by spending 1 level/hd per spell level, or it can completely heal itself by consuming the spirit. It can consume just to make room. Cthoi have Frightful Presence when first seen. They radiate despair in a 30 radius that renders victims paralyzed with hopelessness until a successful save or shaken if they save. The effects vanish once out of the aura. They Regenerate 5 if young and 10 if elder, prevented only by direct sunlight. Can only be permanently destroyed by being anointed with holy oil then Blessed followed by burning while in direct sunlight and scattering the ash. Otherwise it can regenerate from the remnant. Dominate by filling mind with whispering voices given orders and suggestions. Aka: The White Whisperers (can’t talk, only telepathic whispers), the Shadow Stalkers (sunlight not only stops regeneration, and allows their destruction), the Silent Ones, Doom Warriors, and the Pale Strangers - because their robes make them appear as humanoids or faeries or orcs but not as living one. They are the origin of all undead except mummies (including liches) and ghosts, creating all others through all three types of drain and spells, the incorporeal forms coming from the destruction of corporeal ones.
- 250. 248 In groups onetends to be the caster while each additional cthoi contributes one metamagic effect to the spell. No two can be more than thirty feet apart to be in the link. Fanatical servants of Cthulhu, they work behind the scenes pulling strings unless ordered or forced into direct action. They tend to be surrounded by vampires, wights, and voidsouls and are considered holy by Cthulhu worshippers and those of Orcus as the first if his undead children. They obey only their master whom they commune with 0 level spell. Often cloaked with deep cowls cthoi tend to crouch and stoop making them appear shorter and hunched. They fight with ranged magic and rely on their aura to render victims defenceless and harmless, before taking a drink then taking the spirit unless it wants to make vampires or wights. Rakshasa fear cthoi. There are 9 elder cthoi, 13 rakshiri, and 18 elder rakshasa. The cthoi lair in the Deep of the Underworld above Tartarus and have a tunnel to Atlantis.

Cthoi can spend victim levels or hd to heal itself 1d8pts per level spent. They can also use them to power additional castings oof their spells on a level per level basis. Lastly they may spend them in the witch link to pay the cost of contrubuted metamagic. The spirit remains trapped until exhausted by having all its kevels spent or the creature is permabently destroyed. True Res, Wish and Miracle work only once the spurit is exhausted. Lesser restoritives work once the spirit is freed but it has 1 neg level per kevel spent. The spine remains imbedded until pullefd out by victim or by cthii upon syphoning the spirit.

Aura of Despair 30' radius: Taking any action whether offensive, defensive, or any other, rrequires a Will save to break the despair. Success majes immune for 24 hours but leaves shaken for 3d20 minutes. Inactive vuctins are considered helpess. Frightful presence: save upon first seeing its face Dragonnethi Although the soulless dragonnethi can still be killed by undead attacks they cannot be turned into undead or animated as skeletons or zombies. Their bodies do not provide sustenance for structural or vampiric feeding; the mithral in their blood acting as a Poison that eliminates gained hit points and gives them the Poisoned condition until they complete a full rest period. However, the bitten dragonneth stills takes the normal necrotic damage. Thus there are no dracoliches and no dragonneth would become such an abomination if it were possible. There is a legend from the Age of the Fallen about a dragon who dared quest after immortality with an entourage of Low Ones. One of the varstrills was found adrift near the Dagon’s Maw whirlpool, her dying words warning of the questing dragon being turned into an undead abomination by powerful magic and then destroying its entourage with the entropic breath of Tiamat herself. Her final whisper
- 251. 249 was the nameShen. Called the Dragon of Doom, Shen became the dragonneth boogieman, used to terrify hatchlings into obedience and serve as a warning to adults to accept their existence. They fear Shen far more than Cthulhu or Satanael. A few believe Shen to be the unborn hatchling of Tiamat and actively seek him out, returning without luck or not at all. Ghosts Ghosts are spirits unwilling or unable to leave the Mortal Sphere after death, who have turned their backs on the Gates of Immortality to forge their own chains of dark qi. They aren’t controlled by it and don’t feed or evolve, but it prevents their destruction or release until the emotions, desires, and intentions that formed the chain are resolved, weakening and breaking the links. Sometimes a spirit has such an intense desire for revenge on a specific individual or small group, that it refuses to leave its body upon death, fixing its dark qi chain to the corpse rather than the location of its death. These rise as remnants. Banshee is just the Faerie term for ghost; all ghosts being able to use Phantasmal Killer and Weird among their other undead spells (see Undead Evolution and Magic). The aging effect of a ghost is multiplied by the Longevity Rating of the affected creature. Ghouls The Aldyryc ghoul is modelled after the Romero zombie. They use standard 5e stats except for having Speed 20 and being unable to Dash. A ghast is a corpse possessed by a demon, otherwise using the standard 5e stats. Mummy Mummies are powerful, non-feeding undead created by the forbidden Mummification ritual. Aldyryc mummies replace standard 5e mummies, mummy lords, and death knights. Few non-lich mummies become so willingly and are created as punishment or to be a bound protector of some place or thing by adding a Geas to the phylactery’s construction in the ritual of at least 1 spell slot level per 2 class levels of the potential mummy (6 for 12th , 7 for 14th , 8 for 18th , and 9 for 18th ). Aldyryc mummies possess the standard ability scores and AC of a 5e Lich but only get spells if they are a spell-caster. Although they retain the standard HD and Hit Points as well, Liches and Death Knights may be of any class level, with the exception of Liches who must cast the ritual upon themselves, getting all the proficiencies and class level abilities appropriate to the class level. The rank of the mummy produced depends on the classes of the character, all mummies using the rules and statistic for a 5e Lich as adjusted bellow: Type Rank Adjustments Notes Crypt Thing Skeletal Guard Tough and Weapon Master feats No class level abilities or Legendary Actions Crypt Keeper Skeletal Sentinel Crypt Thing adjustments plus Athlete (STR+1) and Martial Adept, feats Eldritch Knight, Arcane Trickster, Ranger, or Lancer; No class level abilities or Legendary Actions Death Knight Mummy Champion Crypt Keeper adjustments as well as Legendary Actions, Enforcer class level abilities, STR+1, and Savage Attacker feat Exemplars become Enforcers when mummified.

Creatures that come within 15’ of a mummy must succeed on a DC 16 Con save or be cursed with Crypt Rot. A cursed target can’t regain hit points, and its hit point maximum decreases by 10 (3d6) for every 24 hours that elapses. If the curse reduces the victim’s hit point maximum to 0, the desiccated victim dies and rises as a shadow from the corpse during the Witching Hour of the next Night of Darkness. The corpse then turns to dust. The curse lasts until removed by magic equivalent or superior to Dispel Evil or Greater Restoration. A successful save renders the creature Immune to that mummy’s Crypt Rot for 24 hours. The phylactery radiates the same aura with disadvantage on the save. Dreadful Glare. A creature within 60’ that the mummy can see must succeed on a DC 16 Wis save or become frightened until the end of the mummy’s next turn. If the target fails the save by 5 or more, it’s also paralyzed during that time. A target that succeeds on the save is immune to the Dreadful Gaze of all mummies and mummy for 24 hours. Paralyzing Touch. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5’, one creature. Hit: 10 (3d6) cold damage. The target must succeed on a DC 18 Con save or be paralyzed for 1 minute.

Each living creature within 20’ of the lich takes 21 d6) necrotic damage (DC 18 Con save for half damage). Phantom Zones The events of some deaths cause some spirits to become lost in the nightmares of their deaths and enter the Dreamworld from the Ethereal Plane upon death instead of seeking the Pearly Gates. These became trapped reliving their final moments in a scene that can manifest on the Material Plane as a spectral vision, a movie repeating endlessly. Bound within the phantom zone by a bubble of dark qi and not actually undead, bound spirits are harmless and unable to interact with anything on the Material Plane but fully real in the Dreamworld. However, interaction is only possible by attacking one, getting it the ways of its objective, or by a Successful willpower check at DC18. Such interactions are generally violent due to the circumstances and the mind-set of the spirit at the time, but can be informative otherwise. Such areas feel colder than their surroundings and are avoided by natural beasts. Witnessing the manifestation, which usually occurs during the Witching Hour and always on the Night of Darkness, requires a DC18 Willpower save to resist becoming Frightened of the area for 6d% minutes. They are most commonly places where violence left unburied bodies that never received last rites. Performing last rites for every bound spirit cleanses the regional dark qi upon the completion of the final rite, freeing all trapped spirits to their afterlife. Creatures that take long rests or are rendered Unconscious or dying in an area of bound
- 253. 251 spirits may enterthe Dreamworld and find themselves suddenly swept up in the shared nightmare. Doing do requires a DC18 Charisma save to resist the effect, which is basically the same as Astral Travel in that only the dreamer’s astral form enters the Dreamscape. Structural Feeding Feeding strips a medium-sized body of the needed materials in 2 hours, a small in 1 and a large in 4. Evolving by feeding takes a hundred medium-sized victims per Hit Dice, or 200 small or 50 large from bodies dead no longer than 24 hours.

Higher evolved undead can also access the spells of lower levels. Each may be used at will, with those that require recharging by a d6 roll or a rest so indicated on the table. Undead Recovery Undead have a slowed recovery rate, treating 1 full day of 24 hours rest as if it we 1 hour. Thus for them a short rest takes 48 hours and a long rest a full week of eight days. During the Night of Darkness they recover at the normal rate for the living and treat Witching Hour as if it were two hours, enabling a short rest. Also, ghosts rise to begin haunting the location of their death on the stroke of that night’s midnight. Magical healing and cure wounds spells work normally on their flesh and bones, but not incorporeal spirits encased in dark qi. These have to rest or gain temporary hit points through their abilities, if able. Vampire Instead of being forced into gaseous form at 0 hit points, vampires expel wraiths able to return to their Desecrated lairs to regenerate their bodies. The creation of undead or their continual presence for twenty-four consecutive hours desecrates the area, giving it the effects of a Hallow spell dedicated to Orcus that doesn’t affect (bar) undead and has the added effect of causing all dead bodies left in the area for 24 hours to rise as ghouls on the next Witching Hour, with decayed corpses becoming zombies or skeletons depending on condition. A vampire commands any undead that rises in its lair. Spells that create or animate undead can create twice as many in a desecrated area and an area desecrated by a vampire replaces a coffin and grave dirt as its restorative sources. Vampires must rest in darkness from moonset to moonrise regardless of the length of daylight at the latitude. Upon moonset they gain 5 points of Exhaustion which only resting from moonset to moonrise will remove. They must drink blood every day, gaining at least 21 hit points from their bite to prevent starvation. Should their body die of starvation, they permanently return to being spectres. A vampire can’t evolve any farther but can increase its HD by stripping enough victims to earn the total it desires, without practical limit. Unless they are confident in their defenses, vampires tend to be smart enough to locate their lairs where the area effects don’t give them away. Dracula Centuries before the Fall and the sinking of Island of Atlantis by the Faerie Alliance to destroy the hidden city of R'lyeh. A few centuries before this, a warning came from the Council of Powers in the form of an incurable blood disease sent by Pazuzu, prophesied to mark the rise of evil and impending doom. The elven Countess Lilith, wife of Count Dracula, was among those stricken. A sorcerous priest of Ra, Dracula begged hi god to save her. When Ra told him to accept the Council’s
- 254. 252 judgement, he turnedto Orcus hoping for a cure or at least the ritual of mummification. Orcus responded by sending a cthoi. The creature drained her blood. The first non-rakshasa so drained, she rose as the first vampire. Dracula willingly gave himself to her hunger and she fed him from herself when he rose a few days later. The pair became bloodthirsty tyrants feared by all their subjects. After a century or two of fear, the locals waited for Dracula to leave for R’lyeh and attacked Castle Ravenloft, managing to completely entomb Lilith until she starved and became the first wraith. Escaping, the she filled the castle with her spawn. Dracula’s rage was horrible and many died but Orcus warned him of the gathering of the Faerie armada and he escaped Atlantis before its sinking. Surviving the 2nd Chaos Wave altered him and gave him powers beyond the normal vampire. It is said he still haunts Aldyryc, obsessed with finding his reincarnated love and gathering rituals of magic. Dracula has +6 to all ability scores, +9HD, Resistance to Sunlight (radiant) and Water (acid) damage, as well as being both a warrior and a 15th level spell-caster. He has twice the standard number of uses of Children of the Night and Legendary Resistance as well as Legendary Actions. His Shapechanger forms include that of an ordinary wolf also with the vampire’s bite. His Charm ability has a DC of 20 and effects undead with a DC17. He can Dominate Person with a 30’ Gaze as a 12th level caster three times per day and can Create Thrall as per the Warlock Great Old One pact. His wraith if expelled doesn’t suffer from Exhaustion and has 3 hit points per HD. It is said that he recoils from the sight of presented Ra symbol. Voidsoul A victim whose spirit is taken by a cthoi becomes a voidsoul, a body preserved by an infusion of dark qi that retains a measure of its personality, intelligence, and memory. Also known as a forsaken, a mist walker, an empty one, and a dementor, these creatures retain the Ability Scores of the anthropoid victim with Strength and Dexterity increased +1, 9d8HD plus the Tough feat, and ½ of any of the class levels possessed by the victim in class abilities and proficiencies. Supernatural athletes, voidsouls can make standing leaps as if done with a running start with advantage with a 5’ start and with double the Ability modifier applied if a 10’ running start if possible. Voidsouls have continuous Spider Climb and a natural AC of 12 due to toughened skin. Their staring empty gaze can be used once per turn within 60’ as a bonus action to trap the gaze of another and pull their mind into the Void. This in inflicts 2d10 points of psychic damage and requires a DC16 Charisma save to avoid being afflicted with short-term madness and a critical failure doubling the damage and causing long-term madness instead. A success leaves the target Paralyzed for 1 round per point of damage and cuts the damage in half, with a critical success eliminating damage and reducing the condition to Frightened for 1 round. Once the duration of any madness ends, the victim must save again to avoid being left with indefinite madness. Voidsouls are Immune to Poison, Exhaustion, Frightened, Charmed, Starvation, Suffocation, Paralysis, and Psychic damage plus madness and hallucinations. Necrotic damage acts to heal them or provide temporary hit points. Vulnerable to Radiant, they are Resistant to Cold and B/P/S that is non-magical and non-silvered. Direct sunlight causes them to make a DC16 Constitution save to avoid being effectively Poisoned with success making it effectively Frightened. Voidsouls can summon a special Fog Cloud with a 60’ radius around them that moves with them, lasting until dismissed as an interaction, dispelled by wind or Dispel Magic, or the voidsouls dashes or runs. In addition to concealment the cold mist drains the vitality and depresses the emotions of those within requiring a DC16 Constitution save at the start of each turn inside the mist to avoid taking 1 point of Exhaustion, 2 on a critical failure. Once Exhaustion is gained, no further drain is experienced. However, upon gaining Exhaustion the individual must save a second time or be affected as if by a Sleep spell. On each turn following leaving the mist, individuals may save to remove the exhaustion and wake up. Werewolf A werewolf is an anthropoid afflicted with the Curse of Lycanthropy through the spell or being bitten by a barghest or wendigo. It first emerges as a barghest and evolves into a wendigo by feeding on the organs of victims. Barghest A barghest has black fur and red lupine eyes. CR 5 XP 1,600 CE Medium fiend (native, chaotic, demon, evil) Init +7, Senses darkvision, scent, Passive Perception/Investigation +19/+5 AC 17 (+2 Dex, +5 natural)

This requires making an elixir of wolfsbane, mandrake root, black lotus, and nightshade, with donated urine from the afflicted. This costs a total of 500gp and the result is a foul substance that Poisons anyone who drinks it who fails a DC20 Constitution save. This means the condition for anyone except the afflicted. The potion turns the healing HD of the afflicted against them as poison damage with the save reducing this to half. If the afflicted survives, the demon surfaces and begins to change form. A successful Banishment or Dispel Good and Evil spell cast at this point in the same round can open the afflicted to having the curse ended by a Remove Curse 1 slot level higher than the Curse of Lycanthropy spell. This must also be cast in the same round and in order. If the exorcism attempt is not successful by the end of the round, the demon completes its change and the creature attacks the next round. If not a night of the Maiden, the werewolf changes back after 1 minute or upon being rendered Unconscious. The standard bite is equal to a 7 th level spell slot, the transformation to barghest triggered on the nights of the Maiden. Feeding: involves tearing through the abdomen and devouring the internal organs in a full round. Feeding grants +1HD for healing, which it can do as bonus action, average temporary hit points for 1HD, and 1 Inspiration Point, remaining until spent and not being renewed or healed by a rest period. On appropriate Night of Power 2 healing HD are spent to gain 1 that renews with a rest period. Once its rest-restored healing Hit Dice reach 18 the barghest requires a final Feeding to become a wendigo. Wendigo CR16 A wendigo has white fur and all black eyes that glow red in the centre. It differs from a barghest as follows: Str 22, Dex 15, Con 18, Int 12, Wis 14, Cha 14 AC 19 HD 18d8+72 (162) Save DC20 for all special abilities and powers Enlarge: self, three times Howl: grants Incapacitated condition Gaze: grants Stunned condition Feeding: benefits continue but reset to normal level of HD and hit points upon transforming back to host’s form.

Only a 9th level spell slot turns all three Faces of Isis into triggers. The transformation from host to barghest takes a bonus action, starting at moonrise and turning back at moonset or when the barghest is reduced to 0 hit points. World of Aldyryc Aldyryc’s circumference is approximately 25,000 miles, a little bigger than Earth. The moon of Aldyryc, Isis, is twice the size of Earth’s Luna and extremely dense, giving it a gravity of 2/3 Earth’s one gee. Things on Isis weigh 2/3 what they do on Aldyryc. Aldyryc shares its heat, energy, atmosphere and magnetic field with its close-orbiting moon (about half the distance of Luna’s 70,000 miles so it appears four times bigger in the sky than Earth’s moon.) The moon maintains a stable orbit about the equator. Aldyryc’s day is equal to Earth’s. The moon’s day is twelve hours. Its phases (called the Three Faces of Isis) are dependent on the absorption and release of positive and negative energy not its position relative to the sun.
- 256. 254 Forbidden Associations Although variouslands many ban the followers of certain gods, only two forms of association are universally banned on pain of imprisonment and death. The destruction of the Dream War caused all witchcraft, witches and covens to be banned from every land except Paholja where witches rule. Merely possessing a copy of the Necronomicon, the Witches’ Grimoire, is worthy of execution. The other banned group are the Strom Front, also called the Front. Represented by a white Ankh in a black circle on a grey back ground they follow the ideology of human supremacy detailed in Adel Hister’s manifesto Ku Klux Klan, Purifying the Master Race in Dark Speech. A satanic cult formed by Hister to unite Napoleon’s forces following his capture in the later part of humanity’s Century Wars, the Front is dedicated to the belief that humanity shall rise to dominate the inferior races once it has purified itself of weakness and the world of witches, demons, monsters, and abominations. This meant everyone other than the human race. Purifying humanity meant enhancing superior specimens beyond mortal limits while using the rest for war fodder, experiments, and the undead army created with the Black Cauldron of Orcus. Halflings were declared to have to potential for souls and salvation through valour in combat on behalf of the Klan, all others were monsters to be dominated or destroyed. All enemies and dead were recruited into the unliving Night Brigade. Living soldiers were given Blitzkrieg, a drug that turned them into super soldiers known as Storm Troopers with a tendency to go berserk in battle. They even tried to invade Sorrvas, resulting in the explosion that created the Nightmare Pass of the Dead Lands. The threat proved great enough to unite the other human lands into an alliance that reopened the Node Network and managed to defeat Hister. All traces of blitzkrieg, or blitz, were obliterated and all Front members hunted down and put to death. However, the Knights of the Light continue to follow the Front’s beliefs about human destiny and superiority but focus more on purity, having dedicated themselves to cleansing the human races and the world of evil and impurity. They see halflings as ultimate abominations to be destroyed without mercy and all dreamweavers except themselves and white magicians as witches. Many others follow the manifesto in secret. Knighthoods There are 6 knightly orders that have stood the test of time: 1. The Caltic Knighthood of the Round Table Symbol: Circular tabletop surrounded by thirteen seats. A religious order founded by Sirsyr and sworn to Athena they serve as protectors of Caltere. The Round Table is based on Sirsyr’s Code of Chivalry, each sworn to champion: Faith: Hold true to your trust in Athena, yourself, and your fellow knights as well as to your word in all things Charity: Be generous with your resources and kind to those less fortunate. Justice: See the truth of the situation and enforce the law on all equally Sagacity: Search of the truth of the world and absorb all that you can, using to improve your decisions and minimize your mistakes Prudence: Be cautious in your action and devotion. Look before you step over the precipice. Temperance: Retain your wits for evil waits for opportunity to beguile and attack. Resolution: Once you commit, see it through to the end. Do not let obstacles be more than a challenge. Truth: Seek and speak the truth in all that you do. Lies are poison. Liberality: Keep your mind open to Inconvenient truth, hard reality and opposing views. Diligence: Always omit fully, doing your best and staying aware of your situation. Hope: Trust in your faith to get you light the way in the darkness and be a beacon for others. Valour: Defend the weak and defenseless and never back down in spirit. You are only truly defeated when your mind surrenders. 2. The Ethernian Knighthood of the Light Symbol: A white fireball
- 257. 255 Formed after thedissolution of the first Round Table, a religious order founded by Gawain, First Steward of the Ivory Throne, they are sworn to Sirsyr, the Ivory Throne, and Ethernia. Based on the Code of Chivalry, the Code of Righteousness defines this knighthood swearing each to the following: Thou shalt be impoverished in wealth but rich in purity and generous in its encouragement Thou shalt honour all that Sirsyr teaches and observe all knighthood directions. Thou shalt defend churches of Light. Thou shalt respect all weaknesses, and shalt constitute thyself the defender of them. Thou shalt love the country in which thou wast born. Thou shalt not recoil before thine enemy. Thou shalt protect that entrusted to the knighthood with thy life. Thou shalt wage war constant and unceasing against the workers of evil magic and witchcraft Thou shalt perform scrupulously thy duties, if they be not contrary to the law. Thou shalt never lie, and shalt remain faithful to thy pledged word. Thou shalt be generous, and give largesse to everyone. Thou shalt be everywhere and always the champion of the Right and the Good against Injustice and Evil.[14] 3. The Ganite Knighthood of the Crown Symbol: A black crown with six points Formed by Charlemagne after the dissolution of the first Round Table as first monarch of the Kingdom of Ganis, based on a disagreement with dedication to a god instead of a mortal lord, they were forced underground by the Silverlock Revolution where they became a religious order dedicated to Satanael and the return of the Monarchy to Ganis. The rise of Napoleon brought it back to public prominence, still claiming to be agnostic. Declaring Napoleon the new Monarch they served him and then Hister during the Century Wars. After Hister’s defeat, they tried to re-establish the Monarchy but the Republic defeated drove them back underground. This knighthood swears to the Code of Nobility: Loyalty: It is a practical utility in a warrior nobility. Richard Kaeuper associates loyalty with prowess Forbearance: knights' self-control towards other warriors and at the courts of their lords was a part of the early noble habitus Hardihood: The quality of hardy aligns itself with forbearance and loyalty in being one of the military virtues of the preudomme. According to Philip de Navarra, a mature nobleman should have acquired hardiness as part of his moral virtues. Geoffrey de Charny also stressed on the masculine respectability of hardiness in the light of religious feeling of the contemptus mundi.[28] Honor: honor was what was achieved by living up to the ideal of the preudomme and pursuing the qualities and behavior listed above.[32] The loss of honor is a humiliation to a man's standing and is worse than death. To fear Satanael and serve His Church To serve the liege lord in valour and faith To live by honour and for glory To fight for the Divine Right To obey those placed in authority To guard the honour of fellow knights To keep faith To persevere to the end in any enterprise begun To respect the honour of women Never to refuse a challenge from an equal Never to turn the back upon a foe 4. The Kaldarian Imperial Knighthood Symbol: Imperial red-headed black roc over crossed lances The original knighthood formed from the cavalry of the Empire of Kaldaria with knighthoods and land being given as rewards. The original knight’s code, the Code of Civility was extended to form the base of feudal society during the Dark Ages of the Kaldarian Empire.
- 258. 256 Loyalty: Itis a practical utility in a warrior nobility, associated with prowess. Forbearance: knights' self-control towards other warriors and at the courts of their lords was a part of the early noble habitus. Hardihood: The quality of hardy aligns itself with forbearance and loyalty in being one of the military virtues of the preudomme. Largesse or Liberality: generosity was part of a noble quantity. According to Alan of Lille, largesse was not just a simple matter of giving away what he had, but "Largitas in a man caused him to set no store on greed or gifts, and to have nothing but contempt for bribes." Honor: honor was what was achieved by living up to the ideal of the preudomme and pursuing the qualities and behavior listed above.[32] The loss of honor is a humiliation to a man's standing and is worse than death. 5. The Kalvaalan Teutonic Knighthood Symbol: Hawk in flight over wolf Formed after the Round Table, a religious order dedicated to Horus and their heritage. They have become the rulers of Kalvaala and renowned mercenaries. This knighthood is based around the Code of Stewardship, each sworn as follows: To fear Horus and promote his faith To serve the liege lord in valour and faith To protect the weak and defenceless To refrain from the wanton giving of offence To live by honour and for glory To despise pecuniary reward To fight for the welfare of all To obey those placed in authority To guard the honour of fellow knights To eschew unfairness, meanness and deceit To keep faith At all times to speak the truth To persevere to the end in any enterprise begun To respect the honour of women Never to refuse a challenge from an equal Never to turn the back upon a foe 6. The Southeastern Arm’s Samurai Order Symbol: the heraldry of their lord or land The Code of Bushidō, way of Discipline, a loose order based on the teachings of Xondra summarized by the eight virtues of Bushidō: Righteousness (義 gi) Be acutely honest throughout your dealings with all people. Believe in justice, not from other people, but from yourself. To the true warrior, all points of view are deeply considered regarding honesty, justice and integrity. Warriors make a full commitment to their decisions. Heroic Courage (勇 yū) Hiding like a turtle in a shell is not living at all. A true warrior must have heroic courage. It is absolutely risky. It is living life completely, fully and wonderfully. Heroic courage is not blind. It is intelligent and strong. Benevolence, Compassion (仁 jin) Through intense training and hard work the true warrior becomes quick and strong. They are not as most people. They develop a power that must be used for good. They have compassion. They help their fellow men at every opportunity. If an opportunity does not arise, they go out of their way to find one. Respect (礼 rei) True warriors have no reason to be cruel. They do not need to prove their strength. Warriors are not only respected for their strength in battle, but also by their dealings with others. The true strength of a warrior becomes apparent during difficult times. Integrity (誠 makoto) When warriors say that they will perform an action, it is as good as done. Nothing will stop them from completing what they say they will do. They do not have to 'give their word'. They do not have to 'promise'. Speaking and doing are the same action.
- 259. 257 Honour (名誉meiyo) Warriors have only one judge of honor and character, and this is themselves. Decisions they make and how these decisions are carried out are a reflection of whom they truly are. You cannot hide from yourself. Duty and Loyalty (忠義 chūgi) Warriors are responsible for everything that they have done and everything that they have said, and all of the consequences that follow. They are immensely loyal to all of those in their care. To everyone that they are responsible for, they remain fiercely true. Self-Control (自制 jisei) Locations Ahkracia Capital: Akhetaton Founded by the ancient Egyptians, the Ahkracians continue the pharaonic dynasties, each hereditary ruler the avatar of a god. Twelve dynasties reigned before Kali-Set took over by ending the Kaldarian occupation. Ptah was the first, leading the Egyptians out of Necros, and Apollo was longest. Ptah and Ra were the only repeated avatars, defining two dynasties. Despite this, Ptah’s dynasties were the shortest even combined. His avatar came into power just long enough to lead the people in a new direction before passing the throne to a new line. Ra was in charge when the Kaldarians invaded, slew the avatar, and killed off the line. More than a hundred years later, the avatar of Kali-Set arranged the near simultaneous assassination of all Kaldarians on the 13th day of the year, known from then on as the Ides of Taalynn and considered an unlucky date by many on Aldyryc. The full line of pharaonic dynasties is as follows: 1. Ptah 2. Ra 3. Osiris 4. Mercury 5. Bacchus 6. Horus 7. Thor 8. Ptah 9. Anubis 10. Apollo 11. Athena 12. Ra 13. Kali-Set The Aldwynn Islands Originally inhabited by feral elves, stranded mist elf sailors married some, beginning the race of sea elves that inhabit the Islands in modern times. A place of rogues and vagabonds, many Numakki settled among the many small and large islands after the fall of Numallea, many becoming pirates. The pirates of the Islands are a fairly honourable breed not given to killing or raping captives or taking slaves. Thus they get along fairly well with the sea elves. Aldyrrya Forest Elf Capital: Qotiel Mist Elf Capital: Yndari Allied Capital: Ohm The elven homeland is the location of all mist and forest elf holds. Sea elves are exclusively found in the Aldwynn Islands where a few feral elf holds still remain, otherwise all feral elves are found in Aldyrrya. Only faerie are allowed with its borders which are defined by the edge of the forest, where the Ent Line forms a protective wall of discomfort that discourages most intruders. Patrols of Mist and Forest Lancers and defence forces capture any who make it beyond the Line, erase their memories of the experience and dump them outside the forest. Most blood efl holds are located beneath Aldyrrya. Aldyrrya has two types of settlements, Holds and Forts. Forts are settlements one the borders, shared by mist and forest elves and sea elves on the coasts. These appear like normal towns and cities but lack elderly, inform, and children, being places for meeting other faerie races and defence for the deeper parts of Aldyrrya. They also share participation in the Defence Force that occupies these settlements and protects the lands. Mist and Forest Lancers are part of the Defence Force. The location of Holds is a secret that has lasted millions of years. Aldyrrya is also home to many fey who get along with or at least tolerate faerie including ents, sprites, brownies, leprechauns, nixies, sylphs, dryads, centaurs, fauns, and satyrs. Arcanica The largest most cosmopolitan city on Aldyryc, Arcanica was founded by the Sumerians who were then driven out by the volcanoes Romulus and Remus both
- 260. 258 exploding and buryingtheir city. Greeks discover the same power circle as the Sumerians had used and were next to settled, soon conquered by Romans who named the city and mountains. Separating from Rome by closing the portal permanently, the New Kaldarian Empire spread from Arcanica and still has it has its capital. This is also the city of the Arcanum, Aldyryc’s ruling body for magician founded by Merlyn and his apprentice Solomon to end the Dream War. In addition to this great tower fortress and magical college, the Arcanum runs the Great Library of Arcanica which was founded on the model of the library of Alexandria, all books brought into the city being copied by state decree. Only Gyrrd’N’s Institute of Illumination rivals its breadth and depth of collection. The volcanic ridge between mountains divides the city into Uptown and Downtown, the strongest tide in the world sending the normally placid Racing River up the Reversing Falls once a day from the harbour to Lake Kaldar. Lake Kaldar is notable for containing Fire Island. The largest of several small islands near the centre, Fire Island is permanently lit by a continuous Fireball spell witching zone left from the Dream War as a warning about the dangers of witchcraft. The Cerulean Order throws witches into it. Assyrvia The original place settled by the Babylonians, they were later driven out by Broggan the Destroyer, King of Zhyatis, after he conquered the island nation. He destroyed the gateway to the Old World to end a Persian invasion and betray his most powerful allies. The allies brought down a curse upon the land as they died. The Babylonians and Persians fled as the dead rose to devour the living and take over Assyrvia, the Babylonians founding Kordesh and Persians Rovalla. The Isle of Dread remains a land of the unliving still. The Burning Sea The Burning Sea runs along the World’s Edge Mountains from the mountains of Southern Murhkar to Symmallea, beyond Raktargoth on the western side of the map. Volcanism and gas jets cause the sea to bubble and boil, actually emitting jets of flame in numerous places. Caenyrvyn Capital: Gwynedd Settled by the Welsh this feudal monarchy stands as a borderland with the Dark North, doing some trade with the Orcs when not fending of raids by them and the Minosi of Stygia. Known for producing singers with the voices of angels, Caenyrvyn allows no slavery. Caltere Capital: Camelot The Neolithic Picts first came to this region through Stonehenge. Later driven north by Celtic tribes they were replaced by Anglo-Saxons coming through the Stonehenge on the Old World to the one built by the Picts on Aldyryc. The Kaldarian Empire managed to conquer the south but the north remained home to the free plains horsemen. Encountering the Wyr and the Kalvaalans, the Kaldarian expansion ground to a halt. Sirsyr established the Kingdom of Camelot as the first of part of the Kaldarian Empire to gain independence, doing so after a long bloody war in which he united all the local tribes, established the Round Table, created the Code of Chivalry and the Knights of the Round Table. After his death at the end of the Drake War, Camelot fell and the Round Table disbanded, the region invaded regularly by barbaric tribes from Wyrland, Dunblannor, and Kalvaala. Arthur Pendragon founded Caltere after drawing Excalibur from a boulder inside ruined Camelot and using it to slay the terasques known as the Jabberwocky. Along with Robin Locksley and his Merry Men, they formed the second Round Table and a feudal monarchy that endures. Slavery is outlawed. The Daikaiju Ocean The Ocean covers the entire eastern hemisphere from the coasts of the Harkindian and Symmallean continents to the World’s Edge Mountains. It expanded when the continent of Draco sank as a result of the Second Chaos Wave with mountains are now chains of islands. Spires of Poseidon The Spires of Poseidon are an underwater mountain range that rose on the side of the planet opposite the Great Rift. The peaks of the tallest mountains rise high out of the water forming narrow pointed spires of rock with hidden ones under the surface between them. Tritons and Ikari dwell in and among them, watching for the prophesied draconic invasion from the east. The Dark North Locked in eternal night, the arctic zone of the planet is known as the Dark North, which also describes the nature of most of its life. Plants and animals have adapted chemically to the low light and intensely cold winters. Plants in the north are coniferous, shorter and bushier than southern varieties, and so dark with chlorophyll they are nearly black, helping them capture and utilize every available photon throughout the
- 261. 259 spectrum. Plants growquick and sturdy, as do the animals. Most are resistant or immune to cold due to the chemicals in the vegetation; similar to what occurs in the south but without colouring the skin. However, the dark does tend to push creatures toward albinism. Mammoths, mastodons, winter wolves, yeti, trolls, and numerous arctic species make a rough living on the edge of survival. The Dead Lands The valley plateau running through the Kaxxuun Mountains from Sorvah to Ethernia was reshaped by a series of antimatter bombs followed by radiation suppression foam interacting with the curse of Kaxxuun. The result of an attempt by Adel Hister to invade Sorvah in 11945, over 300,000 Ethernians and Ganites were obliterated in seconds, the rumbling booms, mushroom clouds, earthquakes, and flashes witnessed many leagues distant. This left the land waste of life, the valley floor cloaked in 2’ deep glowing green mist that clings stubbornly to the ground in the strongest winds. Created from ground swept up the mountainside, a narrow trail hundreds rises hundreds of feet above the mist, known as Nightmare Pass. At nightfall, the spirits of the blasted soldiers rise, around 50% as shadows, the rest as wraiths, spectres, and a few powerful ghosts. All so bound to the area that they return every night even if destroyed normally. Anyone who dies in this or any other area of Kaxxuun is similarly trapped in undeath unable to leave or pass on until the curse is broken. Any food or water brought into the area becomes contaminated as is that already in the region and the river for ten miles downstream from the plateau waterfalls. Radiation has the following effects: Constitution save each round of exposure at DC20 or become Poisoned until removed magically. Gain 1 point of Exhaustion after every long rest that a DC15 Constituion save is failed as long as Poisoned condition persists. Mist: Constitution saves at DC15 every 10 minutes or take 1d8 poison damage. Water Contact: 1d8 poison damage every minute of exposure, emersion that a DC15 Constitution save fails. Water/Food Ingestion: 1d8 poison damage every round until a successful DC20 Constitution save. The Devil’s Triangle The Devil’s Triangle in the Three Seas is thought be a Mortal Mystical Triangle, either the result or origin of the other. Some believe dead zones to have always been non-resonant. Most believe them to have been created by the Second Chaos wave, silenced by the Fall. Few are seen again who dare enter the Devil’s Triangle and none who investigate its shrouded heart. The Devil’s Triangle is a region of damaged seafloor, space-time and planar fabric. Wormholes and plane shift zones open, closed, and move, at random, while the thinning of the planar fabric between Mortal and Virtual Spheres causes random incursions by the Dreamworld that can sweep objects and life into the deeper Psychic planes or Dreamwalk them a random distance in a random direction, including straight up or down. This instability, added to the region’s already strong storms and currents on top of a deep seabed of shifting sand, create an ever-changing maze of sandbanks, deep troughs, doldrums, gales, and whirlpools, with storms surpassed in intense ferocity only by the stationary, ancient, Throne of Zeus. Storms that could appear from calm blue sky one minute and then vanish back into breathless blue sky the next. And then there are the Kraken and Sirens competing for territory and slaves. Only the lost, the desperate, the insane, the suicidal, and sea elves, dare sail the Triangle. Even the wind avoids the Shroud at its centre, a motionless bank of solid white extending from seafloor to above clouds racing past. Three forms of Triangle are likely to occur within any one hour (roll 1d6 each hour): 1-2 = Reality Warp (area of space-time twists), 3-4 = Shifting Field (invisible one-way Plane Shift zone), 5-6 = Wormhole Vortex (tornado-like one-way Gate). Warps require one Constitution save to be compared to DC30 to prevent +1 step of Madness, DC25 to avoid +2 Steps into Madness, DC20 to avoid +3 steps, an a DC 15 to avoid +4 steps with critical failure resulting in +8. The lowest failed DC takes effect and 1d10physchic damage accompanies each +1 step. Variable effects of the spells are based on a level of 1d20 and a casting score modifier of +1d6 when applicable. Each shifting Field and wormhole vortex sends those who fail their saves to its own random plane (roll 1d20): 1 = Outer Darkness, 2 = The Maelstrom, 3-4 = Pandemonium, 5 = The Abyss, 6 = Gehenna, 7 = Abaddon, 8-15 = The Astral Sea, 16-17 = The Dream Time, 18 = Ekstasis, 19 = Elysium, 20 = Genesis.
- 262. 260 The Shroud Centred onthe Island of Atlantis, the Shroud extends in a 45-mile radius from its shores. The motionless wall of fog reduces visibility to a maximum of 30’ and raises the entropy of all entities and objects that it touches, making everything increasingly cold and weak. Immediately upon entering the Shroud, the Exhaustion factor of all entities, even normally immune or divine, rises to 1. It increases 1 step further for every half hour of continued exposure, going past 6 to 7 where all entities and objects Disintegrate completely, body and spirit. Such are able to be returned to existence and life only by an extraordinary Wish that leaves the restored with a debt of -5000xp to eliminate before they can accrue positive XP again. The Shroud also exists on the Ethereal plane and any attempt to pierce it with scrying spells, information divination, teleportation, or planar travel, automatically fails and raises the attempter’s Exhaustion factor to 1. Entering via Astral Projection has the same effects as entering physically. No wind will blow within the Shroud, mundane or magical, water cannot be controlled or moved magically, weather control and summing including storms and lightning do not function. All energy damage is divided by the present Exhaustion factor. All attempts to communicate or travel beyond the Shroud fail. No magic, save, resistance, or standard immunity offers protection, only a priesthood convent with Cthulhu or the 200’ aura of protection provided by the Mortis Liber. Otherwise, only setting foot on Atlantis makes the individual and associated objects safe from the Shroud, and only while actually touching the Island and its structures. The Dragon’s Maw This massive whirlpool swallows all that gets too close, dragging it down to the depths of the Underworld’s Sunless Sea. Dunblannor Capital: Kincardine Settled by Scottish tribes this feudal monarchy holds the line as one of the borderlands with the Dark North, fending of raids by the cannibalistic Gaels and hunting werewolves exiled from Paholja while keeping an eye on the magicians of Maldarvia and their slave hunters. Slavery is outlawed. Ethernia Capital: Phokis Founded by Gawain after Sirsyr’s death, this theocracy is supposed ruled by the Steward of the Ivory Throne but has long been dominated by the Knights of the Light. Built of drake bones, the Ivory Throne was meant to be occupied by a paladin exemplar ruling in Sirsyr’s stead until his return, chosen and advised by the churches of Athena, Anubis and Sirsyr. Sirsyr’s faith began here, the Knights of the Light being formed by Gawain for that purpose. For centuries this worked, until the ruling Steward fell and became an enforcer. After the cruelty of his rule was ended by rebellion a plague ravaged the country and the three churches, represented by the Trinity Council, took over backed by the Knights. Ethernia’s first Crusade was to spread the faith of Sirsyr, the second to return his body to his homeland and secure the cavern where Qaldon was found. Many followed, more than one against Gyrrd’N and Aldyrrya because Gawain held elves and half-elves in low regard because of Lancylot and Gwenhwyfar’s betrayal and transformation into vampires. Like the Knights Templar, the Knights of the Light developed into international bankers and we Napoleon’s primary target in invading and holding Ethernia at the beginning of the Century Wars. After Hister fell, the Knights of the Light took over and retain their hold on power, but hardened her ideas on human supremacy by declaring all magicians but themselves and the three faiths to be witches, faerie to be demons, and all halflings to be monsters and abominations. Slavery is outlawed. The Fallen Lands Once the heart of the dwarf nation, along with Gaxxidin and Kaxxuun, the land of Dhazagar was ground-zero for the beginning of the Faerie Wars. There, within Diamond Mountain, said to be a solid crystal, the Hammer of Union was shattered by Hexxis and Axvin. The land fell into ruin as wars raged and the location of Diamond Mountain lost. Now many races fight over its endless Underworld tunnels, several having established a permanent presence. Things long forgotten and hoped destroyed lurk within its passages, which are said to be surpassed in dread only by those of haunted, twisted, Kaxxuun. It is a place damned by the gods where an artefact of their hands was broken. Certainly, despite millions of years of effort and combat little progress has been made in exploring or conquering its depths. Some say the spirits of dwarves prevent anyone from doing so, bound there until the Hammer is restored. Some say something far worse. In truth, the sundering of the Hammer caused the two factions supporting Hexxis versus Axvin for the throne went to war dividing the dwarves and beginning
- 263. 261 the Faerie Wars.The released magic fed on the negative emotions and horror, building into a powerful curse that summoned deadly gases into the tunnels and chambers, covered all water and food with green slime, and turned every drop and pool of spilled blood into a black pudding. Forced to flee, Hexxis took her duergar into the Underworld while Axvin took his gaxx to what became Gaxxidin. Invisible and oozing death remains to claim those who enter the Fallen Lands, the place absolute crawling with puddings and dripping with slime while poison wafts through its depths. In addition, while in the Fallen Lands, whether on the surface or below, every long rest requires a DC20 Constituion save to gain any benefits and prevent the incurring of 1 point of exhaustion. The Fey Mountains Home to the most ents per square mile of anywhere on Aldyryc, Ents patrol jealously guard this region of ancient rugged, heavily forested mountains keeping everyone except fey and kenku out. This suits the reclusive ikari, the only tolerated faerie besides kenku, just fine. It also suits the gnomes who dwell here in numerous hidden outposts, the main concentration of their kind on the planet other than Gyrrd’N. Because the Ent Moot, a valley occupied by a living power circle gate made of ent elders that connects to the realm of the Entarys, lies at the heart of these mountains, ents aren’t gentle in ejecting intruders although they still rely mostly on the unease of their infrasound and animated trees to do most of the work. Unlike those of Stygia, known as aggressive killers, they prefer not to directly interact with intruders if possible. Unlike the Ent Line, the ents of the Fey Mountains are spread throughout so that there are few places they cannot be found. Huge numbers of gargoyles and harpies also dwell in one of the valleys, the result of the Ikari curse, and more are drawn there all the time. Their sheer numbers and the presence of a drake prevent the ents and gnomes from doing more than guarding against them while the kenku and ikari work on ending the curse. Young ents arrive on Aldyryc through the Ent Moot and then make their west and north to Aldyrrya and Stygia as they feel called to do. Old ents make their back to the Entarys to add their gene, teach the young, and die. The Fey Mountains are home to gnomes and other fey, many of who loath faerie or are of a darker nature. This includes quicklings, boggarts, fauns, dryads, nixies, leprechauns, sprites, gremlins, shambling mounds, and the like. Most gnomes view faerie as young upstarts who need to be taught a lesson from time to time, though some of the darker hearted ones see them as thieves of their heritage, and those who suffered most under Titannia’s transforming wrath see them as vile abominations responsible for their condition. Gaelland Settled by Picts, the harsh climate, darkness, and native chemicals transformed them into brutal cannibalistic albinos who often work as mercenaries for Maldarvia when not fighting each other or raiding Dunblannor. Gaelland is mostly moorland with peat bogs and other hazards that make life interesting and short. Ganis Capital: Aragonne When the first Round Table disbanded Charlemagne helped the second part of the Kaldarian Empire to gain independence by founding the Kingdom of Ganis and Knights of the Crown. Centuries later, Joan of Arc led the Silverlock Rebellion that ended the monarchy and instated a constitution republic with prime minister and elected president as head of state and commander of the military. This ended when Napoleon took over as Emperor, but was re-established following the Century Wars and continues still. Slavery is outlawed and women have an equal vote to men. Captured by Caltic Duke Wellington during an airship battle, Napoleon was sent to the Infamous Imperial Prison in Arcanica, known as the Rock. Said to bear the Mark of the Beast he dwells there still. Gaxxidin Capital: Darggen Known as the Fortress Land, Gaxxidin went from a frontier to the home of the dwarves when Axvin fled the Fallen Lands. The only one of three ancient lands to have survived into the Age of Atonement, Kaxxuun and the Fallen lands being the others, the only surface entrances are huge fortified, animated, stone doors and hidden access tunnels in valleys deep in the mountains where the dwarves harvest food. Their Holds are hidden in cavern fortress cities with a section for other dwarves and faerie to enact trade. All industry and work is done in the city with all elderly, inform, and children kept in the Hold. A few ancient mag-lev trains remain from the system that was being built before the Fall. Tunnels are highly organized, meeting at fortified junctions with animated elevators and rotating central connector passages to confuse and trap enemies. The mountains
- 264. 262 are home togiants of all types, though in nowhere near the numbers found along the Great Rift. Gor Capital: Norven Repeatedly fought over and conquered by Caltere and Ganis, this land gained independence when Velkiri’s Feminist Revolution inspired general revolt against their Ganin masters. Led to victory by Joan of Arc following Velkiri being burned at the stake and ascending as a phoenix of silver flame, Gor is a constitutional democracy with proportional representation in its presidential council. Communist in nature, the country owns everything as a collective, all sharing equally in wealth and duties including mandatory 5 years of military service. Local councils are elected and send representatives to regional councils that send representatives to the presidential council from whom one if elected president. Gorns are suspicious of outsiders and extremely loyal to one another. Slavery is outlawed and women are considered equal to men. Gor is a presidential democratic communist republic. The Great Rift The World’s Edge Mountains are actually two ranges, the Eastern and Western which form the edges for the Great Rift, all three running from pole to pole. The Great Rift goes all the way to the planet’s molten heart. Grottar Capital: Grottai Ruled by the Oni with their ogre enforcers, Grottar is a kingdom of slaves gathered from all over the continent. The oni are known as the slave masters of the Dark North and are involved with the slave trade in every land that has one. They favour minosi for their personal slaves due their physical power and fire abilities, useful in the cold Dark North. The Gull Coast Settled by the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island, these people remain isolated and unknown by other humans. Even few dwarves know of them. They worship and carve huge black heads to match those already lining the coast, said to be huge stone golem sentinels either created by the humans’ ancestors or by faerie during the Blood Wars or later to guard against the dragonnethi onslaught predicted to come in Armageddon. It takes magic, digging, or Investigation DC25 to discern a copy head from a full sentinel. Gyrrd’N Meaning “Redemption” in Faerie, the Free City of Gyrrd’N was founded around Oberon’s Crown, a low rocky hill bristling like a porcupine with sharp pointe rock spikes resembling unicorn horns. These get larger toward the top where the largest create a power ring around a 1000’ tall spire obelisk called the Horn. The original faerie circle this was used to bring the first fey and then the first faerie to Aldyryc from Faerie Realms. The Horn’s resemblance to a unicorn has been enhanced by the druids who transformed it into the central feature of their Tower of Dreams. The ten- storey Institute of Illumination surrounds the Horn, forming five sided of a hexagonal courtyard open on the sixth for the road winding around and down the hill to the city. As well as being the central training and meeting place for illuminati, the halls of the Institute are crammed with works of lore gathered and written by members as well as magicians from the Horn. Below the Horn is Fey Grotto, a mystic crossroads with the Hart Key through which ley lines cross making it resonant as well as a crossroads. Around and below this is Underhill, the original gnome outpost still inhabited by wunderkind, tinkerers, and pech. The Druid Council rules the Tower of Dreams and works with the Illuminati Council to guide and protect the city. The Free City is covered by an elected city council with a member appointed by the Druids and Illuminati each. It is known that the power circle is able to create a 1000’ radius Prismatic Sphere around itself containing the entire power circle and Tower of Dreams plus the Grotto and Underhill. It can also project Prismatic Sprays and Prismatic Walls up to 3 miles from the Horn. This has been a major factor in holding Lyrnean crusades at bay. All who respect law as well as liberty; goodwill, cooperation, knowledge, creativity, and imagination are welcome in the Free City regardless of race. Slavery is outlawed. Across the rivers are Xotikos, a den of thieves and corruption, and Daimos, a city turned into a fortress. Both were built by the Kaldarians while building the three bridges connecting the cities to Overlook Island in the forks between them. There sits a fortress meant to protect the island that was the main battlefield during the Century Wars. Daimos was fortified by the Ethernians to serve as a launch point for crusades and a defense against Gyrrd’N and Aldyrrya. The site of Hister’s Obsidian Tower, destroyed along with her and the Black Cauldron, her body and the Cauldron thought blown apart in the explosion and

They get a piece of everything that happens in or passes through the city. Kaankura Capital: Nampo Settled by Koreans, this feudal monarchy has been dominated by and part of the Konimbra Empire through long parts of history, gaining independence through revolt several times before the modern age. Fiercely independent they gave a fierce fight against the Zur during the Century Wars before finally allying with Konimbra to drive the islanders offshore. Mistrustful of their allies, they maintain a large ready force to defend their sovereignty while plotting to one day reverse fortunes on both the Koni and the Zur. Kaldaria Capital: Arcanica Originally settled by the Sumerians who were driven out by erupting volcanoes, this region was later settled by the ancient Greeks who were then displaced to Lyrnea or conquered by the Romans. Sealing the gateway to the Old World created the Empire of Kaldaria which proceeded to spread and conquer everything from the borders of Aldyrrya to Gaxxidin as far north as Caltere. Ruled by Morgana Le Fey, the Empire thrived until Sirsyr successful led the Camelot rebellion and gained independence. After a brief respite, his rebellion spread south to meeting the invading Drake First’s forces in the Drake War. Sirsyr may have died ending it, but his influence continued. Ethernia, Ganis, Lyrnea, and Murcia all gained independence as the Empire sank into its Dark Ages emerging centuries later with Morgana’s Renaissance and creation of the Node network. The network brought nearly three hundred years of Golden Age to humanity before the Node Plague shut it down, followed by the Century Wars. Kaldaria and Morgana emerged stronger and more vital, the restoration of the Node network continuing the Kaldarian ascendance to the world’s most powerful trading nation, ruling with economy what they couldn’t with force. All nations have embassies in Arcanica and the capital city has developed ethnic ghettos as well as those for races other than human as it has grown to the biggest most influential city on the planet. Following the Dream War, in which Arcanica was briefly held by magicians, the Arcanum was built in Arcanica making it the world centre for magical knowledge and power. Morgana the Eternal Empress is said to be the twin sister of Viviane, Lady of the Lake, and demigod daughter of Titania. Legend says she vanquished Merlyn, explaining his disappearance near the end of the Drake War. Kalvaala Capital: Eiken Settled by Germanic tribes who spent much of their time fending off raids from Grottar, Thunder Island Varlund, Thurlund and Paholja, this region never fell to the Kaldarian Empire. It did, however, fall to the influence of Sirsyr in that after his death one of the regional kings decided to found his own knightly order, dedicated to the discipline and order of Xondra. The Teutonic Knighthood was born and eventually allied with the Knights of the Light and Knights of the Crown against the Imperial Knights of Kaldaria. Much happened since and the alliance fell apart, but the Teutonic Knights grew in power to take control of Kalvaala from the kings. Regional kings still rule in name but only as backed by the Grand Master of the Knighthood. Kalvaala produces skilled mercenaries legendary for their discipline, typically led by knights. Slavery is outlawed. Kassykoth Capital: Bahamuthiss A monastic island where mystical purist are followed and the inner nature of the dragonnethi studied in hope of advancement, this island operates as a commune under the mastery of the supreme leaders of each profession followed there. Apart from occasional voyages to trade and study the world in relation to dragonnethi, the inhabiting Varstrills lead a hermit-like existence cut off from even other dragonnethi with particular antipathy for ysstrakans who have repeatedly tried to invade and dominate the island for its mystical zone. Kaxxuun Said to be worse than the Fallen lands, Kaxxuun is where the Sundering of the gods first began turning elves into trolls and dwarves into tunnel curs. In addition to the spirits of dwarves and elves locked in eternal combat, the place crawls with these mutants and the mountains themselves twist and shift to confuse and destroy intruders. It is in these lands and because of this curse that the Dead Lands became as they are when blasted with antimatter and radiation suppressor.
- 266. 264 KI’s Circle Mountains Alarge circular valley sits within a ring of tall sharp peaks, the land evenly split between swamps, lake, forest, and plain surrounded by forested foothills. The central lake holds an island in the middle where the oldest oak, and tree, on the planet grows. It is inhabited by the hamadryad, queen of the dryads and avatar of KI, charged with keeping the planet together and running. She is attended by four Satyrs each the avatar of one of her Time Lord sons, the four gods of the seasons, who aide her mission. The valley is home to many nymphs and dryads, the mountains to satyrs, fauns, and sylphs. Megafauna and ordinary animals share its bounty. The hamadryad is accompanied by two dire wolves, one white the other black. Konimbra Capital: Xian The Lóng Dynasty of Konimbra, its ancient ruling dynasty, made an alliance with the wyrms living in the region sustaining their rule and protecting their land. It is said that every major city has a wyrm under it. Settled by the Chinese, at one time Konimbra controlled and empire consisting of Kaankura, the Islands of Zur, and Lamzara. Growing larger and smaller over the millennia as revolts and Kangg invasions disturbed the balance of power, actually the Zur then the Kaan managed to throw off their yolk reducing the empire to its current size. During the Century Wars Zur even managed to invade parts of Konimbra only to be held off wyrms they thought legends until they managed to assassinate Hirohito the Death-Eater and end the Wars in the southeast. Since then, humiliated by the loss of power and status, the Koni have longed to regain their rightful empire. Kordesh Capital: Nippur Settled by Babylonians fleeing Assyrvia, Kordesh forced them to dwell underground for the first millennium, until the environmental chemicals turned their skin purple and resistant to fire and electricity. Plasma storms called sunstorms, sandstorms, hurricanes, and tornadoes, travel through here on the way east and north. The sun shines nearly continually and the heat is unrelenting. Restoring their pre-Aldyryc kingdom, they spent their time underground and after delving into magic that might protect them, stealing the secret of flying carpets from the Dune Sea’s native genies, and discover how to build power circle that could project shields effective against the sunstorms. This enabled them to spread across the surface once again, building ziggurats to Marduk and Rawna for helping them face extinction and survive stronger and wiser as a people. Fascinated with the arcane, they have a cultural fire dance where they dance in and around a bonfire to the amazement of non-Kordeshi. Highly erotic it is also used as wedding dance. The Kaldarian s stole the secret of carpets from the janni as well, but gained the design for their transportation shields from sunshields through a kidnapped expert. Gnolls roam the plains in packs and purple worms crawl below. From time to time hostilities break out with Syrraqa or Rovalla but this is relatively rare. Each culture sees themselves as the superior culture and all others as infidels. The Labyrinth A dusty wasteland most of the time, rains and flash floods have carves a maze of ravines and canyons that change with the weather. Only one permanent reliable known route has been discovered and fought over by the Kaldarians and Ganins. Great battles occurred here during the Faerie Wars leaving uncounted bones and spirits. It is also the location of the hidden Crystal Cavern, the most power mystical zone on the planet, and numerous lesser ones. Lamzara Capital: Azha Settled by Tibetans, this fertile steppe is home to tribal herders and farmers united under a feudal monarchy advised by religious orders in favour with the court. Mystics are common here, many passing through on their way to Shangri-La with which Lamzara does heavy trade in food for magical services and training. Xondra’s monasteries are also common as are monasteries devoted to the martial arts. Ptah is the most revered god here with Xondra second. Slavery is outlawed. Lantana The Magician Sanctuary founded by the White Order following the revelation of the Arts in Tandros. Accessed through a teleportation circle near Gyrrd’N, only members of the White Order, immediate family, and apprentices are allowed, all others being exiled after having all memory of the place erased. Lyrnea Capital: Ithaka After it gained independence from Kaldaria, Lyrnea returned to its Greek roots, forming a federation of city states with features of Athenian democracy and Plato’s
- 267. 265 Republic. The Philosopher’sCouncil of noted and respected sages from the Academy, the third most respected institution of knowledge after the Arcanum and the Institute of Illumination, chooses the president from among the elected councils of the city states. City councils are elected by free men with only landowners being able to run for office. Society is arranged into classes according to general occupation (military, trade, mercantile, politics, knowledge, labour, etc.) and the only way to move between them is to show aptitude and pass the tests. Maldarvia Known as a the Heart of the Dark North and the Fountain of Evil, this cold volcanic valley became the Magician’s Sanctuary for the Black Order, with only members, immediate family and apprentices allowed within. All others are enslaved or killed. Slaves make up the majority of the population, most never seeing sky. Terrible experiments and entertainments occur, the search for a controlled super soldier producing minotaurs and rhokargans among countless unsuccessful mutations. Among the latter are the members of the Maldarvian Intelligence Service which include nearly invisible Investigators, shape-stealing Infiltrators, and brain twisting Interlocutors. Although officially only supplying hired warlocks, Maldarvia covertly provided far great aid to Hister in the Century Wars, something the White Order would love to prove to the Cerulean Order. A necromancer ordained a deacon by Satanael, Kalvaalan Adel Hister was a member of the Black Order, but the Order claimed that she abused their resources without knowledge or permission. Murcia Capital: Jactlaw Originally settled by Kaldarians, Murcia gained independence last among the empire’s territories and has returned to its control many times. Frequently invaded by Tarki it has fallen into their hands on several occasions including for several centuries during the Dark Ages. Ganis has also managed to conquer it once. The Labyrinth War made Murcia a Kaldarian protectorate, a state which continues. The result of all these invasions and occupations is a people culturally similar to that found in Romania. Because of their desire for personal defence, Murcian schools for swordsmanship are legendary, some of the finest fencers and fighters coming from there. They are highly sought after as mercenaries and bodyguards. Due to their long association with Kaldaria and number of foreign masters, they have become adept at concealing the truth. The Murhkar Empire Northern Capital: Thuul Southern Capital: Nak Under Kingdom Capital: Hrask Split into three parts by civil war, the North Kingdom, the South Kingdom and the Under Kingdom, the Orcs have the longest existing nations on the planet. Currently obsessed with reunification, they rarely war on other races, except for resources and engaged in trade when possible to further their efforts. Each land has a King who retains a hereditary throne as long as capable while attempting to become the first Emperor since the Age of the Fallen. Mystical Zones Mystical energy coming in the form of Keys produced by the vibrations of the planes, Elysium, the Meadows of Spring, the Tors of Autumn, and Qohlahb on the Karmic Wheel are the only planes not Keyed, known as mystical Dead Zones, the latter three forming the Immortal Mystical Triangle. There are also places where naturally occurring resonant zones make native planar Keys are especially strong and sympathetic zones where Keys in addition to or other than the native planar Key are resonant, some of these acting as resonant zones while others act as mystical crossroads. Resonant zones enhance the power of those Keyed to the resonant Key(s) granting an additional metamagic ability as well as 2 temporary sorcery font points per resonating Key while in the area. A mystical crossroads results from a harmonization of two or more planar Keys allowing those within the area to intentionally Plane Shift between them with a DC25 willpower check and requiring all within to make a DC25 willpower save upon entering and every minute thereafter to prevent randomly shifting. Mystics get advantage on these rolls. The most notable of these locations are: Bloodwood Island: Resonant and a crossroads for the Blood Key, a huge tree sprang up here over the remains of the Wyrm First, slain by dragonsbane before the Fall. The immense black-barked tree has silver leaves and sits atop a huge mound of an island deep in the swamps. It is heavily guarded and sacred to Ysstrakan blood mystics.
- 268. 266 Caverns ofYog-Sothoth: A maze of tunnels and caverns winds its way through the mountains forming the walls of Shangri-La, Valley of Mysteries. All the Keys have at least one representative resonance zone and crossroads present, but all are not represented in any one cavern. The air currents create a sound like constant measured breathing. Crystal Cavern: This powerful mystical zone is both resonant and a crossroads for all the Keys at once plus a unique Key for the distant reality of Midgard. Located in the Labyrinth, the maze of canyons and ravines surrounding have numerous lesser resonance zones and crossroads in them along with phantom zones left from the Faerie Wars. The Cavern is inhabited by a feminine consciousness known as the Oracle. Kassykoth: Resonant and a crossroads for the Blood Key, this was the location of the original portal created by the Frist for the Dragonneth migration to Aldyryc, this island was once marge larger but most of it sank during the Fall. It is one of three sacred sites for the Dragonneth not presently underwater. Valley of the Blood: Located on Raktargoth and resonant with the Blood Key, this valley served as lair of the Drake Frist until the Drake War. It became a gathering place for dragons and is site of their present councils. Necros An ancient impact crater, Necros is a sandy rock desert that reaches the lowest surface point below sea level at its centre where an ancient Oni city rings a circular lake with a single island in the middle. There the first Gate of Yog-Sothoth was constructed by Oni seeking to explore other worlds and realities. Before they could use it, the radiation forced them to leave in order to prevent all their offspring being born ogres. The ancestors of the Ahkracians came through and left due to the heat before the radiation had much effect. Sirsyr was buried under the gate supposedly to rise again during Armageddon. From around 100 degrees Fahrenheit on the border, the temperature rises to around 200F halfway to the centre and 300F at the centre, inflicting heat exhaustion as well as 1 point of fire damage every 10 minutes without any saving throw to those without protection. One of three points of the mystical ley triangle (the others being the Devil’s Triangle and the Throne of Zeus)intense ley radiation permeates the central twenty miles mutating non-aberrations that spend too much time exposed. Every ten minutes of exposure requires a DC20 Constitution save to avoid being Poisoned, with another save at DC20 every 4 hours to avoid gaining 1 point of Exhaustion. Every 4 hours of exposure grants a permanent, irreversible, cumulative 1% lifetime chance of producing mutated offspring (mongreloid for most anthropoids, kenku for ikari, and sahuagin for tritons) checked separately for each offspring. Numallea Capital: lost Kurru The first humans came here from sub-Saharan Africa, beginning the Age of the Winds. Many tribes from all over the continent were carried to these thick steaming jungles to compete and cooperate for survival. Tribal kings arose, conflict for power an ongoing event. Then they discovered the sarllak plant and the first human “immortals” came to be soon rising to kings. For centuries this great civilization pitched and advanced through the struggle for dominance until the Immortal King Othello united the entire region under one throne. Setting his sights on the world he sent explorers to Raktargoth and massed his armies to invade Ahkracia. His explorations disturbed and angered the Drake Frist who began the Drake War by invaded and obliterating destroying the Numallean civilization before heading encountering the desert and heading north for Harkindia in pursuit of the Numallean diaspora. Paholja Capital: Witch Mountain The Dream War
