Toriel is a place of wonder, from the vast sand sea where enormous to the jungle home of the dinosaur, the landscape of Toriel is formidable. There are always quest to take on for adventurers, mercenaries, and other wannabe heroes, as sadly, this world is full of horrible monsters.

Ghouls, feeding on the dead body of the local cemetery, giant spiders expelling kobolds from their cave as they prepare for the birth of a new giant spider queen. All the above are the common day of any adventurers in Toriel, but, it is important to keep in mind the grim aspect inherent with such a world, heroes are many, but threats are even more common, and for every villager saved, there are most likely two other villagers that died as no one was there to save them.

The world of Toriel blends the tropes of many fantasy genres, and the player should find the unique tropes of sword and sorcery.
___
 
Before embarking on this unforgiving land, it is important to define a few features of Toriel and this setting.

<br/>

## High Magic

"Everyone always has some kind of luck charm, a trinket, holy symbol or some item of power, they don't even realize how much the weave influence their daily life"

<div class="credit" >—Darvik, Darvik's notes </div>

</div>

Toriel is a land of magic, it is a high magic setting, and such a setting have advantage and drawback. In Toriel, magic items are quite common, the world itself is infused with so much weave, any creature can, to a certain extent do magic.

Smith, from even the most remote location, can more often than not create uncommon magic items, infusing the blade with ghoul's blood, fairy dust, or other magical components to give the blade its magical properties. and even rare items can potentially be found and crafted in bigger cities.

A concept, called by the savant and wizard of Toriel as 'The power of words' try to explain one of the influences of magic on this world. Someone, about to die, cursing its assassin, pouring his very been into each of his words in his final breath will probably create a real curse, expert in that domain are bards.

The first and major drawback of such a common presence of magic, is the interference with some divination spell, detect magic in a major city, will make so many aura intertwin, blend and go over each other that it may be hard to even walk properly for the spell duration. Other divination spells might be deviated due to a powerful spell, item, or curse.

\columnbreak

## A dangerous Land
Civilization keeps on expanding, and most villages are within a few hours of walk of each other in most civilized areas, but other places, like Green earth deep jungle, or the frozen kingdom ice plain will let you walk for days without any hint of civilized land, those unforgiving places often avoided by caravan, and other traveling groups. In villages and small towns, travelers are often met with suspicious gazes by locals who have never left the isolation of their home village.

Relentless threats assault humanity. Vicious creatures hunt wandering children and armed travelers alike, many of whom are never heard from again. Usually, the bigger the uncivilized region, the bigger the threat.

Travel is a perilous endeavor. Armored columns of merchant caravans transport goods, nervously guarded by mercenaries who refuse to deviate from known roadways. More often than not, the roads far from creatures lurking in the woods are those where bandits are met.

The creatures plaguing the land are not only on hidden in those wild regions, but some live under our very feet, cave reaching so deep they land in the Underdark, are often connected by a twisted network of tunnels, nests, and rooms spreading across the continent.

Some other creatures enjoy the comfort of civilization, as terrifying as humanoid can be by their very nature, some rare, but incredibly dangerous monsters manage to hide their true form in the mass of people.

## God touched Land
Toriel pantheon is the same as the usual forgotten realm pantheon, including minor deities, and other auxiliary pantheon. Despite the lack of original creation for the pantheon, the lands of Toriel are still graced by their influence.

Many believe in the god, and their influence on this world, it could be through divine interventions, miracles, and other exceptional events, or just the very act of seeing a cleric or paladin casting a spell and harnessing divine power.

A lot of the civilized land are religious, in various forms, and to various gods, but most populations venerate one or more deities, and, for each divine force, there is an equally powerful dark force. While the demons are rather rare, seeking chaos and pure destruction, fiends are more common. Hiding among the people, they gaze over the mortals, seeking a victim, harnessing souls for the ever-growing army of the nine hell.

<br/>

## Dragon Overlord
Toriel is a land of monsters and magic, some of those monsters, living for thousands of years, have harnessed power beyond mortal comprehension.

And, the most noticeable and most beloved of those monsters are the dragon. The tales of which are only legends, their kind disappearing ages ago, but their heritage still survive and influence the world in many ways. Their corpses, scales, teeth claw, or whatever might be left of one of those creatures still carry incredible power.

The dragons in Toriel are gargantuan been, the shadow of a flying dragon could cover a whole city, and a big one, a flap of their wing could create hurricanes.

Dragons are an example of some, albeit rare, being that influence the world around them thanks to their very power, many lives depending on them, and most of those lives not even realizing it. But dragons aren't the only powerful being, from ancients vampires to elder elemental, those been can rival the power of the majestic dragon.

<br/>

## A Shared World
This is your world too, the story we tell in Toriel is thanks to the common work of both players and dungeon master, the story, epic moment, and fun memories wouldn't be achievable without the union of the two.

This chapter Hopes to provide information for the most common races in the world of Toriel, if you lack information on the race you were looking for, you can assume it is like in the classic forgotten realms Setting.
___
Most Races were not civilized, at least not with the common and modern definition of the world a thousand years ago. But the alliance, war, treason, and other event forged most races and kingdom in the way they are nowadays, each of said Races Carrying been the herald of this history.

## Tana's Empire Races
### Humans
“The dwarf is stoic. The elf is wise. The gnome is cunning. And humans? They can’t make up their mind, so they try to be all of these things at once.”

<div style='margin-top:-10px;' class='credit'>— Kessler, Sharn bard</div>

<br/>

No doubt humans are the most common in Toriel, from the tundra up north, to the vast desert to the south, they can be found in most locations. Most Humans live within Tana's Empire, the vast land to the west. Tana's empire has been mostly under human dominion. It was their adaptable nature and adventurous mindset that quickly led them to expand. Despite been one of the youngest races of the realm, and short-lived, they managed to survive and grow.
___
By the time the great kingdoms of the elves and the mighty Dragonborn realized the violence that inevitably follows the humans, it was already too late. The eyes of the human leaders fell greedily on the prosperous lands of the elves and dragonborn. The Great Reunion had begun and humans were here to stay. Different tribal armies marched simultaneously west, and south; no land was safe. Unable to unite or react in time, the elven and dragonborn monarchs watched as human warriors swarmed and usurped their lands. The human race emerged victorious after years of bloodshed.
___
In victory, they showed mercy to the elder races. They dismantled the elven kingdoms, pushing them deeper in the forests. They left some degree of freedom to the dragonborn, mostly to avoid any civil war. forcing them to accept a certain form of dominion. The humans would have stopped at nothing, if conflict from within had not forced their armies <br/> to a halt. Having exterminated all the other kingdoms, the warlords turned against each other, each claiming <br/> the High Throne that would later become the <br/> Imperial Throne of Tana the one who managed to <br/> unite the human and to claim the throne.
___
Having shorter lives to live than the other races, their old hatreds have faded, and they are now more receptive to other races. But elves live long, and even if most are fine with the current reign, some rare still hold a grudge.
___
Long before the era of the dragon, humans were incredibly developed, This is a time, that even the elf did partially forget. Back then, their greed for power was already overwhelming, driving them to experiment with forces beyond the limit of mortals. This is said to have caused their extinction, not only the humans, but most of the Living been on those land vanished, causing great change to Toriel, as the dragon and giant started to claim the lands, a war that would last century, and cause everyone one else to hide in hear. This is referred to as the Great Extinction.

> ##### Half-Elf
> The offspring between elves and human is quite common, and half-elf started to appear during the great reunion.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.2 | Races of Toriel</div>

\pagebreakNum

### Elves
Ancient and Wise, elves were dwelling the forest of Toriel as far as any mortal can remember. Their long history was mostly lost with the great extinction, as the elves were entirely wiped from the material plane, too close to the source of destruction to survive. Thankfully, the feywild cousin of the elf, such as the Eladrin, and Celadrin survived in this other plane, and soon, helped the few High and Wood elf left to survive during the era of dragons.
___
Tall, graceful, and extraordinarily beautiful, they claimed the forest and river lands to the west (except for the Grugach, a subrace that dwells the three-barrel woods, and are closely related to dryads), Constructing Megima from the ruins of their ancestor, hiding it from the dragon and giant with their high magic deep within the wood.
___
Blessed with keen eyesight and a great talent for archery, they have created a long-lasting tradition of rangers and druids to protect their kingdoms from outside threats. Their deep knowledge of the woodlands further complimented their deadly and silent armies, making them a force to be reckoned with, but their number lacking to face the army of the humans during the great reunion.
___
The great reunion cost the elves dearly. Their kingdoms were forced into submission, and a great part of their forest was turned to ash. Even though their bows were precise, they were outnumbered and unable to defend themselves on all fronts as war-hungry armies burned their sheltering forests.
___
Some elves, refusing to be ruled by the humans, lived for decades as nomads, trying to hide in the forests on the outskirts of the human civilization. And to this day, rare groups of elves keep on fighting this way.

#### Sea Elves
The aquatic sea elves were not as affected by the great cataclysm, and even if their number were reduced, their isolation underwater protected them from the war opposing the dragon and the giant, that was taken to the land, where the giants were able to fight.
___
They are more common Near God's domain to the south, where the close underwater city welcomes them, and they can exchange with the local land-based population with ease.

#### Dark Elves (Drow)
The dark eves in Toriel are confined within the night island. When the great cataclysm struck the elves, a great number of elves on the night island survived. But the Cataclysm, partially magic in nature, had caused a change in the weave, and the survivors were not able to utilize the elven high magic anymore.
___
Their cities were destroyed, as the dragons and giants started to fight, forcing them to hide deep underground. Somehow, they were still crossing the path of blood craving dragon, always pushing them deeper, until they reached the Underdark. This dark places, at first hostile, was still not as bad as the outside world, and for a thousand-year, they were forced to adapt to this place.
___
Their skin growing dark at first, sensitive to light, but better adapted to the condition they had to live in, losing their hair color at the same occasion. Their darkvision improving, and slowly, they were able to build a new kingdom in the Underdark.
___
It is common knowledge that everything coming from the underground, is dangerous and hostile, every child learns that with the various stories he is told.

Even other elves dislike the drow, due to their disconnection with high magic.

Due to their origin, and history, drow are one of the very few that were able to keep traces of history before the great cataclysm, but as the isolated, hated race they are, accessing this knowledge ain't an easy feat.

> ##### Elven Hair
>Many elves hair change with the season, shifting color with nature, this change can be more or less visible depending on the individual but is generally common among the elves
>___
>But, the drow, forced under the earth for centuries, lost their connection to the season, and therefore, lost the pigment in their hair. All drow have white hair.

#### Shadar Kai
The shadar-kai, also called shadow fey, are the elves living in the shadowfell, when elves draw origin from the feywild, it is strange to see elves in a plane such as the shadowfell. The shadow fey are adapted to this environment, as they two spend ages in those lands. The reason driving them her is long forgotten, as shadar kai were there even before the great cataclysm.
___
The pallor of their skin, and their lack of apparent emotions, come from their adaptation to this plane. They serve the raven queen, their divinity, and their city was built around the great mountain at the top of which it is supposed to appear regularly. Their role, well known to interplanar travelers, was to ensure some form of balance in the plane that is the shadowfell.
___
Following their near extermination in an attempt to create a philosopher's stone by a vampire living nearby. They were reduced to a few dozen representatives of their species, and their large cities now erased from the map, they began to adopt a less sedentary lifestyle.

### Dragonborns
The dragonborn, are not the children of the dragon, any who dare to make that mistake will have to fear their wrath. Dragonborn were created by the dragons, as slaves, and tools of war. When the dragons were going to the front, fighting the giants, the dragonborn were forced to create their armor, to prepare their spell component, to stitch the wounds of those coming back. And when you know the sheer size of a dragon, you know this is a task that was painfully long, and hard. Doing the tedious work the kobolds were too weak to achieve, but contrary to the kobold, the dragonborn were not thrilled by a life of enslavement. Unable to escape, they had to support this state until the end of the war.
___
When the great reunion started, human forces marched south, to the dragonborn territory, driving them to the desert. They were weak, ages of enslavement didn't lead them to any accomplishment, and the dragonborn leader realized there was only one way for his race to survive and prosper, and struck a deal with the Empire. They would surrender their lands and become members of Tana's empire, as long as they could govern themselves independently.

The human knew to agree and to keep their word, as an enemy that has nothing to lose is far more dangerous. And when the dragonbon and their land were fully indexed to Tana's empire, they kept a certain degree of freedom.
___
For years, the dragonborn were hated and feared, those who did survive during the era of dragon horrified by their draconic look. However, the hatred the dragonborn nourished toward the dragon was even stronger, in over only 2 generations, they managed to be accepted.
___
Having a lifespan similar to humans, the day where they were feared and rejected are forgotten. But one thing was carefully taught to young dragonborn, transmitted over the generation, a deep hatred for the dragons. Dragonborn share and transmit other important value in their society, concepts such as community, freedom and the ability to keep a promise is extremely valued among dragonborn.

> ##### Dragonborn Color
> Dragonborn skin color and breath weapon aren't necessarily connected, the dragonborn, born thanks to powerful dragon wizard, they were infused with various power from dragons of various origin, their power mixed and blended, making for unusual mixe of breath weapon and color into the dragonborn nation.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.2 | Races of Toriel</div>

"Their breath weapon is quite the interesting ability, the way they expulse this power from their throat is a sight to behold. I can only imagine how terrifying dragons were."

## Lightfoot Land Races
### Halflings
The great cataclysm affected the Halfling like most other races, a great deal of the population was annihilated, Forcing the Halfling back into a tribal state, no matter what was their ancient civilization. During the era of the dragons, they fell silent, hiding from the war.

Numerous tribes of halflings, spread around the lands during the dragon era, started to gather in a bigger tribe, forming town and city, soon joined by the gnomes and verdan, they took on a form of independence by declaring themself a kingdom, and grow into the civilized people we know now.
___
Shorter and weaker in stature than dwarves, halflings are a peaceful race, that tends to appreciate life as it comes. What most of these tiny folk seek in life is a place to settle in peace and with people they like and love. They enjoy good music, fine food, and a good laugh as often as possible.

This does not mean that this race shuns adventuring. Tales of halfling rogues or scholars, seeking ancient and hidden knowledge, are some of the most famous there are.
___
Unlike gnomes, however, they care little for jewels or inventions. halflings, after they lost most of their history during the great cataclysm, understood the importance of history, and bookkeeping. Halflings use the lore they gather to build impressive libraries on specific subjects. Within the countless volumes of these libraries lie the generations of knowledge pertaining to the halflings' passions, from cooking to brewing, bee keeping, and much more.
___
Halfling tends to call humans, elves, or whatever is a normal size "biggy", "stickman" and other fancy names, but on the other hand, halflings are so often called "Half men" that it becomes almost logical that such namecalling goes both ways. Halfling composes the vast majority of the population in the Lightfoot Land, where they share the lands with other small creatures such as gnomes and verdans.

\columnbreak

### Gnomes
Ingenious and full of energy, gnomes are considered to be distant descendants of the fey. Slightly shorter than the halfling, and with long pointy ears similar to the elves, this small-framed race compensates for the lack of muscle with ever working brains and a great aptitude for invention. Even though their inventions have a bad habit of blowing up, no one can stay mad at a gnome. Their cheerful attitude, curiosity, and humor put the gnomes among the most likely to have a good feast or a carefree dance.
___
Apart from their joyful side, they have created some of the most impressive mechanical wonders of Toriel. Some gnomes, in the elemental plane of air, managed to build flying ship, when other back on the material planes, made the prototype of flintlocks. Those inventions are all reputed to be results of gnomish brilliance, but the secret of their invention is kept within the Lightfoot land. If you are looking for a gnome in a populated city, you just have to wait for the explosion to guide your steps.
___
During the great cataclysm, gnome settlements were annihilated, similarly to the elves, they were almost entirely killed, thankfully, some tribes, in the feywild, came back to the material plane, and new tribes of gnomes could grow, hiding from the dragons.

During that era, the gnomes were those discovering the Dragonite, and its fairly explosif use, their ingenious minds hatching a plan to win against the dragon. But as expected, this attempt was short-lived, the gnome considered as an ally of the giant were hunted down by the dragon and their followers, forced to seek shelter among the halfling.
___
Since the union of halfling, gnome, and verdan under the common banner of the Lightfoot Land, they keep on creating new wanders, work of mechanical art. Activating those inventions with a mix of magic and mechanical engineering.

### Verdans
Standing at various sizes, the verdan are often mistaken for goblin or small green half-elf. Far from the elder races, verdan are a recent natural creation. The goblin, known as the highly adapting monsters they are, drifted from the Green earth at the end of the era of dragons, settling toward the east of the soon-to-be Lightfoot land.
___
Settling on the side of the eastern lake, they achieved the peaceful life they were looking for. When the gnomes and halfling united they joined the union.
___
But over the years, the Goblin changed, mutating at an incredible path, even for a goblin. By the time they joined the union with the gnome and halfling, their skin was turned the color of jade and their blood began to flow black. Soon after, their ears grew pointed, and they gained a limited form of telepathy.

Some think such event did occur due to the influence and powers of local dryads
___
Because the verdan have not dwelled long in the world, they are still discovering new things about themselves. Chief among these discoveries is that their physical forms change as they age, signifying that the mutative power of influencing them is not done with them. They soon learned that their kind were fated to eventually undergo a dramatic, painful, and random growth spurt that sees them transformed to hobgoblin size over a period of days.
___
At the same time, many verdan undergo changes in coloring as they age. Male verdan typically have little to no hair, while females sport shocks of wiry hair that they try to tame in a variety of styles. But the color of any verdan’s hair, skin, and eyes can transform from their original jade tones to pale white, deep ebon, or any other shade in between. A verdan’s ears also undergo numerous spontaneous alterations over their lifetime, from the typical range of point and peak seen among the elves, to huge ears that sweep back from the head like wings, and which are often pierced behind the head with a single ring to keep them from flapping about.
___
Without a cultural identity or memory of their own, the verdan quickly adopted the cultural practices of gnomes and halfling.

## Frozen kingdom Races
### Dwarves
Ancient and dauntless as the mountains they call home. Unlike the elves, the dwarves built their kingdoms deep within the eastern mountains of what is now the Frozen Kingdom. Adept with metalworking and jewel crafting, the dwarves created countless cities in the Mountains.
___
During the Great Cataclysm, Dwarves had the same fate as most other races, the vast majority of them were wiped from existence. the survivor barricaded themself within the fortresses of their cities, Knowing the human caused this cataclysm, they have grown to mistrust every other race.
___
The veins of mithril and gold were rich beneath these mountains and dwarven crafters quickly became extremely talented in those domains, keeping their art a secret. Their rich mines were not a secret, but few tried to fight the dwarves, as their army was strong, and their craftmanship was famous. During the time of need over the years, dwarven miners dug deep in the mountains, until they laid eyes upon a new metal which was impenetrable to the arrows; Adamantine.
___
With the discovery of Adamantine in 434 AD, the dwarven kingdom opened up to the outside world, trading the newfound mineral. With armor and weapons of impeccable craftsmanship, their product sold easily, and the dwarves grow closer to the people of the Lightfoot land and to the Goliath. Said Goliaths were the first that came when the dwarven kingdom opened up.

\columnbreak

The goliath leader striking a deal with the dwarves, and securing the tundra up north. The dwarves, not using this land anyway, and having a mutual comprehension with the goliath looking for peace, easily agreed to their presence. Some older dwarves still think they would be better off alone, as they say, it is easier to move a mountain than a dwarf. 
___
A recent lineage conflict with the royal family was yet another proof of the bad influence of other races on the dwarves, and many believe they should go back to total isolation. Dwarves are relatively long-lived and hard to work, Valuing community, their community, above all.
___
**Dwarven blackpowder training.** You have proficiency with Blackpowder weapons when you reach 3rd-level.

### Goliaths
The Goliaths of Toriel are tall, daunting, yet peaceful people. Adapted to the coldest climates, the goliaths are rarely seen as they settle on land no one else would dare to go. 
___
the history of goliath, during the great cataclysm, or before is unknown, as they have mostly oral traditions, but what we know is that they used to be part of the tribes in the green earth, but the constant fight and lute for power wasn't to their taste. They started to move, looking for a place to settle. The lands to the south were too hot for them, and after years as a wandering tribe, finally, they found the Dwarves.
___
Goliath being peaceful folk, and dwarves secluded folk, a mutual agreement closely emerged, the goliath would take the tundra, up north of the Frozen Kingdom, where they would settle without bothering the Dwarves. Ever since, most of the goliath live in those lands, traveling mostly to trade with the dwarves.

## Geen Earth Races
#
The green earth is a cosmopolitan land, to say the least, gathering what many other might call monstrous races into lands too dangerous for other to dare to colonize. Organizing into a collection of tribes of various races, they now are under a common banner for foreign politics, but this alliance doesn't go further than that.
___
Among the race of the green earth, very few had civilization before the great cataclysm, and with oral tradition, their history was lost with the years.

#### Centaur
Centaurs are tall creatures, with the upper half of an elf, and the lower half of a horse. Those horselike creatures love wide spaces and the freedom to travel. As much as they can, centaurs run — in Green earth wild plains, Hot savanna, and verdant forest. They race the wind, hooves thundering and tails streaming behind them, and are the embodiment of freedom. The tribe, running with the wind for days on end, often end up crossing the frontier to the Lightfoot land, or sometimes even to Tana's empire.
___
**Alignment.** Centaurs are free creatures, generally refusing humanoid law, and as such are generally Chaotic.
___
When the great cataclysm happened, and rift from the feywild opened up for the nome and elves to go through, centaur tagged along, curious to explore the vast land of the material plains. Unlike elves or gnomes, centaurs are not descendent of the fey but are full-blown fey.
___
As such Centaurs sense the interconnectedness of the natural world. Thus, they celebrate family and community as microcosms of that greater connection. They have a strong clan identity.

They tend to have friendly relations with the elves and gnomes they meet, able to sense their fey heritage.

#### Goblin
Goblin occupy an uneasy place in a dangerous world, and they react by lashing out at any creatures they believe <br/> they can bully. Cunning in battle and cruel in victory, goblins are fawning and servile in defeat.
___
Goblins know they are a weak, unsophisticated race <br/> that can be easily dominated by bigger,smarter, more organized, more ferocious, or more magical creatures. <br/> Their life are short, and as such, they seek to trap and <br/> enslave any creatures they encounter, but they flee <br/> from opposition that seems too daunting. For miles <br/> around their lair, they employ pit traps, snares, and <br/> nets to catch the unwary, and when their hunting <br/> patrols encounter other beings, they always look <br/> for ways to capture their foes instead of killing <br/> them.

\columnbreak

Few goblins run up against the fringes of society, and the result varies greatly. Rare are those who manage to adapt to those kinds of places, as such, very little goblin can be found in tana's empire or the lightfoot land. Goblins are highly adaptative, as the verdan prove, and it is extremely hard to define common features for those creatures.

Everything, from their skin color to their average height and build change from a tribe to another.
___
Their endeavor made them known, they are known as weak creatures, but not to underestimate, as their weakness is only met by their cowardness. But the rare goblinoids found in cities are generally far from the standard expectation for those creatures.

> ##### Bugbear
>Bugbear are generally part of a goblinoid tribe, often as their master thanks to a power difference. And as such share a similar treatment by common folks.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.2 | Races of Toriel</div>

\pagebreakNum

#### Hobgoblin
Hobgoblin are tall goblinoids, loosely resembling goblin, but are the complete opposite. When goblins are known to be cowardly, cowardice is more terrible to hobgoblins than dying, for they carry their living acts into the afterlife. A hero in death becomes a hero eternal.
___
Hobgoblins hold themselves to high standards and respect the law, their law above all. Hobgoblins have conquered the south of the Green earth, and share the land only with the Loxodon and wandering tribe willing to pay for passage. Their strict morals leading them to keep an impeccable army at all times.
___
Hobgoblin might lack the strength or will for destruction of orcs and minotaurs, but their army is organized, their frontiers are safe, and their city is kept far from the assault of other tribes. Hobgoblin society evolved to this harsh, lawful society after the great cataclysm. The incident wiping most of their population, they were on the edge of extinction.
___
The survivor had to be extremely careful, and have a strong set of rules to survive during the era of dragons, and those traditions evolved over the year, to become the society they know have. Boat Wright, their capital, looks like any other civilized land, and prosper, as the Hobgoblins offer safe passage across the Green earth for a fee.
___
Thanks to their mannerism, and the safe trading route they offer, hobgoblins are appreciated by both Tana's empire and the Lightfoot Land. Hobgoblins are not necessarily evil and are extremely lawful, as such, they are accepted in most major cities. Of course, villages and small towns might not have the same opinion, as they lack the education to know the hobgoblin good behavior.

\columnbreak

#### Kalashtar
Kalashtar are a compound race created from the union of humanity and renegade spirits from the plane of dreams — spirits called quori. Kalashtar are often seen as wise, spiritual people with great compassion for others.
___
After the great cataclysm, very few humans survived, and some of them, turned toward spirit, seeking power and help, those turned over the year, into kalashtar. Not necessarily found in the Green earth, the kalashtar are a wandering tribe, walking across Toriel, seeking ways to connect to their spirit.
___
Every kalashtar has a connection to a spirit of light, a bond shared by other members of their bloodline. Kalashtar appear human, but their spiritual connection affects them in a variety of ways. Kalashtar have symmetrical, slightly angular features, and their eyes often glow when they are focused or expressing strong emotions.
___
Kalashtar can’t directly communicate with their quori spirits. Rather, they might experience this relationship as a sense of instinct and inspiration, drawing on the memories of the spirit when they dream. This connection grants kalashtar minor psionic abilities, as well as protection from psychic attacks. All of these quori dream-spirits are virtuous, but some are warriors and others are more contemplative. Typically, a kalashtar knows the name and nature of their spirit, but some may know nothing of their spirit or the source of their psychic gifts, such as an orphan kalashtar raised among strangers.

#### LizardFolk
Only a fool looks at the lizardfolk and sees nothing more than scaly humanoids. Their physical shape notwithstanding, lizardfolk have more in common with iguanas or dragons than they do with humans, dwarves, or elves. Their dismal swamp homes might lie hundreds of miles from the nearest human settlement, but the gap between their way of thinking and that of the smooth-skins is far greater.
___
Mostly located in the northern swamp and marsh of the Green earth, the lizardfolk are many, the various tribe regrouping similar-looking individuals. From the crocodile-like folk, the bulky and massive Balcksacle, and the small and cunning Poison dusk, the lizardfolk are various and dangerous.
___
At their core, lizardfolk view other humanoids with an indifference verging on pity. Born into the world lacking stout scales and sharp teeth, it’s a wonder they have managed to survive for so long. The typical human would barely make it through a day in the swamps.
___
Their primal nature and feeding habits cause them to be feared by common folks.

#### Loxodon
The humanoid elephants called loxodons are often oases of calm in the busy streets of Hobgoblin city. They hum or chant in sonorous tones and move slowly or sit in perfect stillness. Their serene wisdom, is a tremendous asset to the hobgoblins, that value their well been.
___
The great cataclysm did to those creatures like to any other. But by the end of the era of the dragons, the hobgoblin started to march over the south of the green earth, The Loxodon resisted, but not for long. Soon, the Hobgoblin forced them into servitude. But been over the years, the condition of Loxodon improved, and to this day, they are full-fledged citizens of the hobgoblin cities.
___
After two generations, the loxodon do still remember the act of the hobgoblin but hold no grudge, as yesterday enemies, is today friend.
___
Loxodons tower above most other humanoids, standing over 7 feet tall. They have the heads—trunks, tusks, ears, and faces—of elephants, and hulking bipedal bodies covered by thick, leathery skin. Each of their hands has four thick digits, and their feet are the flat-bottomed, oval-shaped feet of elephants.

\columnbreak

Like that of an elephant, a loxodon’s trunk is a useful appendage. In addition to providing a keen sense of smell, the trunk can be used to lift and carry even heavy objects. The trunk can be used to carry both food and liquid to the mouth and can even act as a snorkel.
___
Loxodons are tireless, patient artisans. Although they make nurturing spiritual leaders, their gift for stonework is so ingrained that they are often at a loss when they try to impart that knowledge to others. An enormous part of the hobgoblin city has been built by the Loxodon, and the architect guild of Tana's empire count an unusually high part of Loxodon in their rank.
___
Loxodons believe in the value of community and life. Loxodons believe that the members of a group have a responsibility to look out for each other. Once they have bonded with other individuals in any capacity, loxodons devote themselves to maintaining that bond. They coordinate their efforts and are often willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the group. They expect reciprocal loyalty and commitment from the other members of their communities and can be severe in their disappointment when their trust is betrayed.

___
Minotaurs love battle. they tend to vent their outrage through violence, but they aren’t generally quick to anger. They are passionate, loving their friends and partners fiercely, and they laugh loud and long at good jokes.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.2 | Races of Toriel</div>

\pagebreakNum

Like orcs, minotaurs are seen as brutal, senseless monsters. It is rare to meet a minotaur in a civilized land, as even the few not striving in battle are hated and mistrusted.
___
**Magical Habitat.** The known minotaur tribe lives in a magic giant mushroom Forest. And as such, their relation to magic is rather special. They burned down any mushroom surrounding their tribe and camp, like the savage they are, but the high weave concentration in the area still manages to affect them.

As such, minotaur sorcerers (generally wild magic) are fairly common, but very few utilize this power.

#### Orc
When the great cataclysm struck the orcs, the survivor had to seek help, and they found it with the demons. Orc, before the great cataclysm, Were closer in build to elves and were quite common among the cities of the ancient civilization. But, when they had to survive, and to struck deal with demons to survive, they were transformed, their memories erased, their form twisted and deformed by demonic power, their skin turning red.
___
With that newfound power, the orc survived the dark age of the dragon era with ease, but this power came at a cost, the peaceful orcs were turned into beasts of slaughter, seeking blood and destruction. Some orc learned the secrets of druidic magic from a dying dragon and were able to escape the demonic influence, other, kept on thriving in the savagery.
___
Two prominent groups of orcs have survived into the present age:

* The Red Fang are the red-skinned orcs, savage, brutal and powerful, those chaotic orcs dream of dying on the battlefield, and bathe in the blood of their enemies. Many believe their red skin is the result of those bloody combat. The Red Fang are servants of the demons and devote their life to the chaotic goal of demonkind.

* The Horse-Skull are the green-skinned orc, hunters in the hot savanna, they are known traders, even if still hostile to strangers at first sight, they are open to talking, an important skill for traders. In addition to their trading skill, their name come from a certain hatred of horse, they judge them weak, and unable to carry their proud warrior. The Horse-skull warriors and hunters have wyvern. Taming a wyvern is a right of passage to warriorhood in the horse skull culture. Those orcs keep the secret of their druidic heritage.

___
Orcs are seen as brutal, chaotic creatures, and are mistrusted by common folk in most civilized lands, a few manage to be seen in major cities, living a normal life, but they can't escape the people's judgment and racism.

> ##### Half-Orc
> Half-Orc are seen just like usual orcs. A half-orc, even from the Red Fang tribe, will always have green skin, as the demonic power does not carry to half-bred.

#### Shifter
Shifters are sometimes called the weretouched, as they are the descendants of humans and lycanthropes. Whatever their origins, shifters have evolved into a unique race. They are humanoids with a bestial aspect; while they can’t fully change shape, they can temporarily enhance their animalistic features — a state they call shifting. Each shifter walks on the knife’s edge between the wilds and the world around them. Do they embrace their primal instincts or the path of civilization?
___
Early in childhood, they develop their shifting ability and grow animal-like features even when not shifting, ranging from an abnormal hair implementation to animal-looking ears at all times, or tails. This transformation is said to be an expression of their inner nature, a wild community-centered wolf, an agile free cat, a selfish rat, a stubborn boar...
___
Shifter community are centered around this ability to shift, the closer your shifting get you to an actual lycanthropic transformation, the higher ranked you are in shifter society. Despite the existence of an important tribe of wandering shifter in the green earth, many smaller communities exist in other parts of the world, such as Tana's empire, or the Lightfoot Land, they generally do their best to blend in with the locals, hiding the few animal features and pretending <br/> to be humans.

#### Tortles
What many tortles consider a simple life, tortles sadly <br/> cannot experience it, bound to slavery by the yuan-ti, very <br/> few are the tortle who enjoy a sense of freedom. Tortles are born in the jungle, as soon as they’re able to walk on two legs, they are put to work by the Yuan-ti.
___
A tortle hatches from a thick-shelled egg and spends the first few weeks of its life crawling on all fours. Within a year, the young tortle becomes an orphan. A young tortle and its siblings inherit whatever work or task its parents couldn't achieve, a yuan-ti master having right over the child of its slaves.
___
Tortles hatch multiple eggs, and at least one of them usually is kept by the Yuan-ti Priesthood to serve as living sacrifices later on.
___
Tortle are seldom found out of the jungle. Slavery lasting for centuries now, little is left of their original civilization.
___
Some lucky tortle manages to escape the grasp of the yuan-ti, running away in an attempt to live a better life, but even fewer are those managing to escape the jungle alive. As such, the torlte are not well known by most people, and a tortle character might strike the common folk as a surprising thing to come across, but people tend to feat what they do not know.

#### Tabaxi
Hailing from the giant tree within Green earth, tabaxi are feline-like humanoids driven by honor and curiosity. Most tabaxi remain in their homeland, content to dwell in the branch of the giant trees, their clans prospering safely up there. These tabaxi hunts for food, craft goods, and trade with the few that dare to come on their lands.
___
Tabaxi value honor and power. They might seem like chaotic been, jumping from branch to branch, running in the wild plains, but they value fair play and when it isn't to hunt, they'll never attack an opponent in the back.
___
A few tabaxi wander far from their homeland, those wandering tabaxi are mercurial creatures, trading one obsession or passion for the next as the whim strikes. A tabaxi’s desire burns bright, but once met it disappears to be replaced with a new obsession. Objects remain intriguing only as long as they still hold secrets.
___
These wanderers keep to civilized realms, preferring to bargain instead of pursuing more dangerous methods of sating their curiosity. However, they aren’t above a little discreet theft to get their claws on a particularly interesting item when an owner refuses to sell or trade it.
___
Outside of the green earth, tabaxi are not the most common, and folks from small village and town will surely wonder what kind of creature came to their place if one was to travel so far away, but they are not necessarily perceived as bad, at least no more than any stranger.

> ##### Leonin
>Leonin, while mechanically different, is considered like Tabaxi in this setting, living among them, and considered as the same race.

#### Yuan-ti
The serpent creatures known as yuan-ti are an ancient civilization.

They didn't had to hide from the flying beast, prospering when others were hiding.
___
The bodies of all yuan-ti have a mix of humanlike and snakelike parts, but the proportion varies from individual to individual. their society is a caste system based on how snake-like they are.

\columnbreak

The yuan-ti have abandoned their humanity and consider non-serpentine humanoids to be lesser creatures, barely more civilized than common apes. Only the high priest can reproduce with humans. The offspring of which will be the next high priest.

**An Empire Within the jungle.** The yuan-ti are among the richest in the mortal world, accumulating power and goods for thousands of years, they were able to progress during a time where the other races were forced to hide. As such, they spread their dominion over the jungle, enslaving the tortles.
___
Due to their history, and the fact they were still expanding during the dragon age, secrets of the ancient civilization are kept by the yuan-ti. Many believe dark rituals and dark magic are among the Yuan-ti collection of forgotten knowledge.

___
The snake people are evil been and do not hesitate to enslave others for their benefit. A striking example is the fate of the tortle, reduced to slave for the yuan-ti, or as a component in dark ritual for their God Sseth. They are said to be emotionless been, and as such, they exhibit behavior and use tactics that exemplify that outlook (or lack of one).
___
**A Dark God.** Every Yuan-ti Pray Sseth, the yuan-ti god, or demon, the exact nature of this been is unknown. This god protected them

Sure, it burns a little at the first time, but you will get used to it and all of your friends will thank you for saving them. Train hard, hit hard and endure the pain. But however, as my father once said: *"If they hit you hard, just hit them back HARDER"*."

## Tana's Empire

<br/>

### Faction
#### History
The empire was founded by Tana the first, king of the men, and of the numerous warlord of the various human community. Tana's empire was officially founded in 100 AD, and the various war and conflicts stopped in 129 AD. The humans, always eager for power were seeking places to conquer once the era of dragons was over, soon, they were united under a common banner and fought the elves and dragonborn.
___
By the time the great kingdoms of the elves and the mighty Dragonborn realized the violence that inevitably follows the humans, it was already too late. The eyes of the human leaders fell greedily on the prosperous lands of the elves and dragonborn. The Great Reunion had begun and humans were here to stay. Different tribal armies marched simultaneously west, and south; no land was safe. Unable to unite or react in time, the elven and dragonborn monarchs watched as human warriors swarmed and usurped their lands. The human race emerged victorious after years of bloodshed.
___
The elves blessed with keen eyesight and a great talent for archery. Their deep knowledge of the woodlands further complimented their deadly and silent armies, making them a force to be reckoned with, but their number lacking to face the army of the humans during the great reunion. The great reunion costing the elf dearly

The dragonborn forces were driven to the desert, and the dragonborn leader realized there was only one way for his race to survive and prosper, and struck a deal with the Empire. They would surrender their lands and become members of Tana's empire, as long as they could govern themselves independently.
___
This Great Reunion allowed the human to take advantage of the resources of the entire west, The Human peoples were behind their warlods in an attempt to improve their conditions. Having exterminated all the other kingdoms, the warlords turned against each other, each claiming the High Throne that would later become the Imperial Throne of Tana the one who managed to unite the human and to claim the throne.

\columnbreak

Having shorter lives to live than the other races, their old hatreds have faded, and they are now more receptive to other races. The vast majority of the population in the western forest are elves, keep what's left of the wood as verdant as possible, and human grow to respect this.

For years, wild group of elves fought a guerilla against the human army. The founding of the empire changed the face of the territory as we know it, the construction of the great trade routes, and later aqueducts having brought much to the countries.
___
Tana's empire has seen some dark ages, the internal conflict in between warlords to claim the emperor title were ferocious, and the newly conquered race often had groups of independentist more than willing to fight. Those conflicts rise anew when Gaendur Tana, the second emperor of the nation, took over the power after Ulfar, the first emperor. Gaendur Reign last from 139 AD to 589 AD, but for long, it wasn't peaceful, rising tension both from the elves and the humans. Thankfully, of the centuries, he managed to improve the relations between the two.

The third Emperor, Charles I, didn't helped. The country was going through rough phases. The massive volcanic eruption caused famine all over the empire, and the emperor was forced to make terrible decisions for the prosperity of the country in the long run, sacrificing countless lives. The exorbitant taxes serving the almost insane policy of improvement directed by the king. Nevertheless, it must be recognized that it is also thanks to the fund that he collected that the titanic work for the construction of aqueducts and trade road was carried out.
___
Today, Tana is a beacon of power and hopes for humans, elves and dragonborn alike, if it isn't for the tension near the frontier with the Green earth, the empire have never seen better days.
___
If it is not the Great Reunion, unifying the empire, and regular conflict with their neighbors of Green Earth (which at the time was not yet considered as a single entity) the empire has known only a few wars, the military power it had developed during the unification of the country been enough for the intimidation. Conflicts with the different tribes of Green Earth had nevertheless been a regular feature, war replaced with guerrilla warfare, preventing the empire from organizing itself properly, and from expanding east. The borders with the green earth are an unfamiliar area.
___
The situation is nevertheless improving, the ancient ban of lizardfolk, goblin, and other monsters alike lifted by the current emperor, Charles III. Wishing for a trading empire, he welcomes everyone willing to trade and do business.

#### Valour
##### Justice
Tana is a highly religious empire, its law dictated by the gods, and those who dare to go against the law go against the church itself. Immoral acts are punishable by law, and the sanction are based on ordinal.

The suspect has to prove the gods choose him, and therefore he isn't guilty. Thus, there are different tests of ordeal, such as:

* **The hot water ordeal.** The suspect must dip his hand in a basin of boiling water to retrieve a ring, if the wounds are in good condition three days later he is innocent.
* **The cold water ordeal.** The suspect is thrown, tied up, in a blessed/holy river, if he sinks, the holy water accepts it, and he is innocent (but may die because he is drowning), if he floats, he is guilty.
* **The ordeal of bread and cheese.** The accused alone must eat a whole banquet, if he vomits, he is guilty.

Despite the apparent cruelty of the system, the people are mostly satisfied with it. Believing it is god judgment, god can never be wrong.

There are also judicial duels, of course, this being generally chosen by nobles or knights (*there is a market for champions to win judicial duels*).

> ##### Dragonborn and Elves Justice
> The process is fairly similar with the dragonborn, but the ordeal are called Trial by fire, frost, acid, poison, lightning, or thunder and the process is slightly different, but for a similar result
>___
> The elves are not as strict with the notion of justice, more chaotic, they tend to be less punitive. But when they do so, they might ban you for life, or remove your ability to interact with the weave entirely, a sanction that might not seem as cruel, but are far more awful for long-lived races.

##### Honour
People of Tana's empire boast to be honorable combatant, but the humans, making for the majority of the population are not what one may describe as honorable, they are proud of what they achieved and eager for more yes, but honorable...

Tana's empire is highly religious, with the Waukeen church been the most important one, been respectable in front of the god is generally associated with honor. Therefore, despite relatively poor attempt, the people of tana do try they best to stay true to this common valor. The different churches generally transmit notions such as 'to be attentive to each other' and 'to act for the common good', helping to stir the people in the correct path.

> ##### Dragonborn and Elves Valour
> The valor of those people might vary from the bulk of Tana's empire, they do share an interest in Justice and honor but are more driven by other principles.
>
> **Dragonborn.** Community, Freedom, and Trust
>
> **Elves.** Community and Nature

#### Diplomatie
The various kingdom, duchy, and other lands under Tana's empire dominion form a single entity and act as one when it come to relation with a foreign country. the lightfoot land are the privileged economic partner, indeed the country has been trading with them for many years now, and their bond are strong.

Tana's empire has very few relations with the frozen kingdom and the little trading they do is done thanks to the Lightfoot lands.
___
Here are the various economic and peace pacts of the empire:

* **Tana's Empire & Lightfoot land:** exclusive trade exchange agreements (prohibition to sell to the frozen kingdom, lightfoot buying magical raw materials and objects, and selling their inventions)
* **Tana's Empire & Brass city (fire plane):** Trade and free passage agreement (brass city providing materials for the creation of magical objects)
* **Tana's Empire & Hobgoblin Empire (Withing Green earth):** Non-aggression pact

The peace treaty with green earth was once general, but a recent caravan of diplomats and other representatives of the nation informed the emperor of the Yuan-ti lack of respect for the treaty. A new one was signed, specifically with the Hobgoblin, which can be trusted to follow such agreement. This new one only concerns the Hobgoblin and Loxodon. The others races of the Green earth are not banned, but there is no specific collaboration with them.

Meanwhile, the border is very well guarded, and it is the one place where there are the most outposts and forts.
___
The empire can often be coveted if only because of the vastness of the land under its control. Discussions between factions to be able to establish this kind of treaty and other agreements usually take place thanks to a delegation sent to one of the two countries.
___
The majority of the country's trades are made in the southern creeks, allowing the transport of goods by boat, or by land with the major trade routes of the south. Thus, there is an important migratory flow in the south, which is often frowned upon by the border people who are used to seeing the Green Earth peoples trying to attack them.

\columnbreak

#### Conflict
The people are divided into 3 categories. The noble, the clergy, and everyone else, often referred to as the third estate.

**The Third Estate.** The third estate is the most common caste, anybody who isn't part of a religious order or a noble is part of the third estate, but despite this numerical advantage, it is the category with the less power and grasps on the politics of the empire. They represent the bulk of the nation, not the brain.

**The Noble.** The noble and third estate rarely mix, as noble enjoy privileges the peasant dream of. The taxes are not the same for noble, the judiciary ordeal are rarely as cruel toward them, they are first for any kind of trading, business, and business. Only noble and member of the clergy can partake in political scheming, and only noble and member of the clergy can take on higher rank in the army. they represent the smaller caste.

**The Clergy.** The clergy represent all people part of a religious order, part as in ‘active’ member of said religious order. They are in some way the link between the noble and the third estate. The higher-ranking member of the clergy play an important role in political and military concerns, and are often noble. The Clergy can also grant noble title to some of its members.
___
There is and will always have tension, the third estate will always complain about the privilege of the clergy or the noble. But so far nothing too serious, especially in the current condition. An era of prosperity. The people are not laking food, and are decently looked upon.

The elves might remember the day of Charles I, during which, people were starving, and rising against the power. Too weak to overtake the empire, the situation cooled off over the years. And nowadays as described previously, it is rather peaceful.
___
It stays that way also thanks to the empire's powerful armies. The troops are composed of professional soldiers, meaning those fighting were trained to do so, and as such, with its quite impressive scale, Tana's empire army is a force to be reckoned with.

The lower rank of the army is filled with people of the third estate when knights and higher-ranking commandants and such are noble or acolyte. Even intermediate rank are generally took on by minor Baron, knight and such, as the high investment necessary to obtain such a position (the material, armor, weapons etc.. being very expensive) is incredibly high.
___
Military service was compulsory in the past, but it is no longer active since the reign of Manael Tana. Since politicians and other advisors are already nobles living in opulence, and remaining among themselves, corruption is less common than one might think and is severely punished by the church. But if there is one domain in which the noble are talented, it is to hide a secret, including from the church.

### Economy
#### Exchange
The exchange of goods and service is done thanks to the various merchant and is overlooked by either the church of Waukeen. The tendril of the church expanding all around the empire, controlling its economy, influence the value of goods. Tana's Empire is focused on trading, most of it being internal to the nation. The various taxes and fee merchant have to pay providing a stable base for the empire's wealth.

Supply and demand, this is thanks to that core principle that the value of something is defined. If people don't care for it and it's easy to make, it is cheap, if people want it, and it’s hard to get, it is valuable. This appreciation of value allows for price fluctuation over time.
___
Said prices are expressed in golden ecu, the common money. Tana was a pioneer to implement this common coin with the Lightfoot Land. The two, already long economic partners, teamed up in 642 AD to create this common money. Originally intended only for the two countries, its usage started to spread.

Soon ancient and new economic partners of both nations started to adopt the copper, silver, golden, and platinum ecu. In a few dozen years, the ecu was the common money all over Toriel, its use even spreading to outer planes.
___
Those Common coins referred to as ecu, the word quickly adopted many variants in local slang, from coins to pieces or even the common denomination of cp, sp, ep, gp, and pp. For centuries, the coins of each country, or even region were different, making it a hassle to deal with for traders and merchants alike.

Tana's empire's old coins bearing the head of their first emperor, and shaped into a circle. Mixing copper, silver, electrum, and gold coins.

> ##### Coins in the Empire
> The ancient coins can still be found, and are still valuable, but they might not be accepted everywhere.
>___
> The Magic Academy keep an impressive collection of Yuan-ti coins for magical research purpose
>___
> The Electrum ecu is only made in Tana's Empire, as other countries do not use the electrum, and are generally a mark of the noble.

\columnbreak

This centralized money is produced by the gnomish bank. And they are the only ones mandated to create the ecu. Of course, counterfeit can be found, and it is said that gnomes are developing a system similar to the ancient civilization coins, testing with divination magic to identify the coins. This would make it much harder to counterfeit the coins.
___
As for the regulation of said money, it is handled mainly by the eastern trader's Alliance, the church of Waukeen holding a grudge against the alliance as they share the very little right of control over this money.
___
Traders and other entities can be a target of bandits and thieves, their pocket full of gold, or even platinum ecu, they take their money to the bank in escort group, but many lurk in the shadow, waiting for an opportunity to strike! The Banks spread through the empire are interconnected, under the common name of "Imperial bank". Layers of abjuration and divination magic protecting their vault, the money, and other valuable sealed in the bank are sent into an extradimensional space.

This important magic system allows banks of the empire to be connected. Therefore, an item you did put in the bank in Holypertuis, can be retrieved in Megima's bank for example.
___
With all those protection, very few are the successful robbery, the groups who try to take on such challenge need expertise in espionage, Divination, Conjuration, Abjuration, Planar traveling and Thievery, and such team is not commonly found.
___
The noble have to right to borrow a certain amount of money from those banks, the exact amount determined by the bank, depending on the relation between the bank and the noble.

#### Commerce and Fiscality
Merchant, Shopkeepers, and Traders alike have to oblige by certain rules to be accredited to work in Tana's empire. A merchant has to pay a monthly fee to the church of Waukeen, This amount depends on the type of goods sold, the size of the shop, and the profit, but can generally be summarized by: A fixed value plus 10% of their turnover.
___
In addition to this fee to the church of Waukeen, the good the merchant buy and sell are taxed by the state, their benefit is similarly taxed by the empire. All of this amount for quite a sizable amount of money the merchant has to pay each month or year. The church deals with the recovery of this money, even for taxes, and links the empire and the traders.

Other that have to oblige by those taxes are the trader and company bringing goods and products from a foreign country, may it be importation of mineral, or cargo of dark wood. Those exotic products have to oblige the normal taxes in the empire, and additional taxes on foreign products.
___
With the grasp of the church on the economy, merchants in Tana's empire do not need a trader alliance or guild, nor have they the right to create one. But the church is also here to provide valuable help and regulation. The church can link traders to warehouses, helping them to store their goods, similarly, they can create a connection between merchants and those bringing the product they need.
___
It is the church that regulates the market, tries to avoid forced scarity to inflate prices, and to watch for lack of competition. Of course, as the authority regulating those behaviors, no one above watch over them, and with their grasp on political power, no one dares to speak against the church when it starts manipulating the market.

> ##### Regulation on planar traveling artifact
> After a major incident in Holypertuis, breaking the portal linking it to the elemental planes, paralyzing a whole section of the economy for days. The Commerce of object related to planar traveling is now highly regulated

\columnbreak

#### Wealth
The common folk with approximately 1 gold ecu per day, slightly less to be precise. This value can decrease even more in isolated villages, and secluded towns.

When the vast majority of people live with this kind of money, other boasts, spending what common folk earns in weeks, in a single night at the inn. The noble of the empire partaking in grandiose parties, and other reunions costing hundreds, if not thousands of coins.
___
The noble in tana's empire represent only 2% of the population and account for the vast majority of the rich of the country. This small portion of the population account for 95% of the wealth. A noble greatest privilege is his wealth.

This difference in wealth is often reflected in the daily routine and job of the people. When the poor have to be farmers, smith, and other artisanal jobs, the noble tend to lead trading companies, to be architects, scholar of magic, and engineers.

> ##### tax on wealth
> In what is said to be a benevolent act of justice, the empire taxes the rich, at least those that aren't noble, a lot more than the hard-working common folk. Of course, this primarily serves an economical purpose and not a benevolent redistribution of wealth.

Stay long enough in a modest inn, and you'll hear the peasant complain about the misery they live in, about those noble who do not deserve their ecu, they'll explain in great detail their vision of the economy, but let loose a purse of coins in said tavern, and all those drunk philosophers will forget their valor of wealth redistribution, and throw fists at each other to keep the coins.
___
Tana's empire been an economic and trading empire, focusing on those aspects for years, as become extremely wealthy, and do not have to shy when compared to the other country of the realm.

\columnbreak

Most of the land of the empire was once covered by lush forest and verdant woods. The great reunion destroyed an important part of those forests, but, with time, tree grew again in some regions, and the land, where it isn't large expanse of grass, is generally covered by the dense and dark forest. The shadow of their foliage making for a dimly light place, in which many beasts and monstruosities hunt for food.
___
The so-called elven wood, to the west, is home to the elves, but the fey touched creature are expert in woodland movement and have grown to a mutual understanding with the forces of nature. The forest is still unhostile to those who leave the main roads.

## Lightfoot Land

<br/>

### Faction
Numerous tribes of halflings, spread around the lands during the dragon era, started to gather in a bigger tribe, forming town and cities, soon joined by the gnomes and verdan, they took on a form of independence by declaring themself a kingdom and grow into the civilized people we know now.
___
As ancient tribes, they didn't conquer most of the wilderness, and the vast lands were filled with monsters and unspeakable horror. Thankfully, their reunion made them stronger, the gnome ingenuity, the halfling courage, and the goblin (verdan were not yet fully transformed) combined allowed them to push the border of civilization, the villages, and town closer to this untold border with the wild always on the lookout.
___
The unification of those races was made official only once the majority of the land was safe, in 434 AD.

This declaration gave rise to many conflicts between the peoples of the new kingdom, and those of the free Green Earths. The countless raid, and plundering of the towns bordering Green earth been a mark of those conflicts.

The combined power of the halflings, gnomes, and the new verdans, made for a sufficient power to resist the onslaught of the conquering minotaurs and orcs. Years of fighting the dangerous monsters of the vast lands of their territory made for quite a powerful army, and a force to be reckoned with.
___
This military prowess of the Lightfoot land came in handy more recently, with the conflicts against the frozen kingdom. Most likely the most impacting war of recent history for the people of the lightfoot land.
___
Despite this rather recent conflict, the Lightfoot Land Evolved a lot over the years, with great trade routes snaking through the landscape, their economy is stable, and the constant progress in science and other magical discovery make sure they always have things to sell.
___
The people of this kingdom unifying willingly, the regent never had to face revolution or civil war. The population is well aware of the importance of being strong, holding together against the threats, and this mindset was still strong even with the cruelest of leaders. A leader, as bad as it may be, is better than no leader at all.
___
The Royal family, the Greyhard, are halfling, or at least for the most part. Various marriages and other mingling over the generations mixed the royal bloodline and may have created tensions, as demonstrated by the conflict with the frozen kingdom.

Said Royal family rule with an iron fist, its authority uncontested. The taxes are high, and politics is centered on the expansion of their technology. Said technology providing goods to trade for an economical aspect, but also an advantage for their army.

#### Regent
The lightfoot Land is a kingdom, Under the influence of the Greyhard family, the royal family. The same King (or Queen) rule over gnomes, hallfings, and verdans without distinction, and this since the creation of the lightfoot land.

To be more exact, the Greyhard family was ruling over those people before the official unification but gained the status of royal only with the official unification. The unification laking official a system of caste already existing back when there were still tribes but putting on new names on those titles, such as the noble caste.
___
Nowadays, the system of caste, and political system greatly improved, still rather restrictive in its access, it brought numerous change, most of them in favor of the population. 
___
The Royal family still maintains the strongest power and has the final say on any decision. But there is now an intricate political system helping that decision making process.

* **The assembly.** An assembly of 500 members is elected by the people and represents them, tho only noble can be part of this assembly. This assembly proposes changes, laws, taxes, and other regulations. These proposals are then sent to the Grand Council.
* **The Great Council.** It is a council of 5 people, each representing an important domains; science and education, trading and economy, culture and tradition, military, justice. The member of this council are also noble, and most often part of an incfluencial organization or family. They debate on the proposal sent by the assembly, modify it, and send it back to the assembly. When this game of back and forth is over with the agreement of both the great council and the assembly, the proposition is sent to the King (or Queen).
* **The King or Queen.** He has the final word, can once again amend it and send it back, or decide to apply it as it stands. The King has the supreme power of decision and decides everything in the end, during a crisis, he can even edit the law without having to use the whole system.
___
This system, sometimes controversial as it is only accessible to noble, has slowly evolved over the year to become what it is. The great council was created during the unification, long before it was made official, as representant of each tribe were gathering for the decision-making process and discussing with the already powerful Greyhard family.

Slowly, the member of the great council became experts in various domains instead of representant of tribes, and as the population was begging for a better grasp on the politics, the assembly was created.

> ##### Royal Succession
>The firstborn of the royal family is always destined to become the future King or Queen of the nation.

The current Queen, Tulia Greyhard, is half-dwarf, and her birth and rise to power provocked the conflict with the dwarven kingdom.

#### Valour
##### Order
The population of the Lightfoot land understands the value of organized civilization, may it be to face the threat together, or to provide a common set of rules for all of its inhabitants. Early on, kids in the nation are taught to respect authority. Despite a lack of school (the education of the wealthy is handled thanks to private tutors), the children of the nation learn quickly to obey the law. Of course, some deviant becomes criminal like in any other nation, but people lean toward the respect of the authority in the lightfoot land.

> Gnomes tend to be the most chaotic of all the races living in the lightfoot land, their fey origin giving them a natural inclination for chaos with various tricks, and pranks.

##### Science
Science is seen as extremely important. An example of which are the various school of magic, the resources given to this institution been far greater in the Lightfoot Land, and Darvik, the founder of the Academy of magic, regrouping the various school of magic, was a gnome. The politician know the value of technology in its various form; magical experimentation, crop growing field, mechanical engineering. The domains of application of Science are numerous.
___
This emphasis on science is made keeping in mind the gods of Toriel, it would be damageable to provoke their wraith.

Yet very few experimentations are banned. Necromancy, as in the art of playing with the dead, not the magic school ain’t illegal, it is not well perceived, but not fully illegal as long as you don’t raise the dead, or corrupt/capture souls. Similarly, the contact with lower plane, ain’t illegal, but is restricted, and need to be done under the control of the local authorities.

> ##### Justice
> Justice is modern in the Lightfoot Land, The authorities try to understand the case, evidence are extremely important, and there is an order of importance for evidence
>___
> **Confessions, Witnesses, Material evidence, Oath**

\columnbreak

#### Diplomatie
Over the years, the Kingdom managed to build many relations. Their history influenced many of their contact with other nations over the years. A summary of the important pact, and can be found below:

* **Tana's Empire & Lightfoot land**: exclusive trade exchange agreements (Tana’s empire is prohibited to sell to the frozen kingdom, Lightfoot land buy magical raw materials and items, and sell their inventions)
* **Lightfoot land & Hobgoblin Empire**: Trade agreements (Lightfoot land buy raw materials)
* **Lightfoot land & Aaqa (plane of air)**: Trade agreements (Lightfoot land sell the inventions of artificier devices, such as airships)
* **Lightfoot land & Frozen Kingdom**: Trade agreements (Lightfoot land buy raw material, and sell inventions to the frozen kingdom)
* **Lightfoot land & Frozen Kingdom**: Non-aggression pact (technically still at war)

Lightfoot land and Tana’s empire built strong relations over the years, mainly thanks to trading, and are now economical partners.

As for the Lightfoot land and the Hobgoblin empire, their relation is not as old, and the constant tension with other tribes of Green earth can make their relation sometimes tense.

When it comes to their relation with the frozen kingdom, the relation are extremely conflictual since the war begun. With the non aggression pact, trading was possible again, but limited, thankfully for the lightfoot land, their pact with tana’s empire, preventing them to trade with the frozen empire, make them a privileged partner.
___
Those agreements and pacts are possible thanks to delegations of representatives who are sent or received in the country to discuss.
___
When it comes to trading route and flow of wealth, Lightfoot land managed to place themselves as a central force in the eastern economy. The trade routes snaking through the kingdom connecting them with their partners.
___
But, due to the tension, the borders are heavily secured, and crossing them is not possible with the necessary papers.

___
Most conflicts are on the border of the nation, as the various tension with the Green earth pushes invading minotaurs to try and plunder the bordering village, the Lightfoot land outpost and army often have to face them. As the Yuan-ti send spies and other agents to influence their behavior, the authorities are on the lookout for them.

But, the tension with the frozen kingdom is still present, despite the non-aggression. The war is very likely to stay until Queen Tulia dies, her mixed heritage preventing the tension from totally fading. Every person or caravan coming from the north has to go through a detailed inspection, and papers are necessary to be allowed from one side to another.
___
This ongoing war, named the blood war, is due to the birth and access to power of the current queen. As the Lightfoot land law state, the firstborn of the royal family is destined to become king (or queen).

Queen Tulia Greyhard mother was the previous queen, but her father is the king of the dwarves, Trone Frozen, and as such, the dwarves wanted her to stay as a high member of the Frozen family. This created a conflict of interest, tension rising when Tulia Greyhard came back to the Lightfoot land.

The target of multiple kidnapping attempts, she stood strong, and accessed the power, and became the queen, this was the spark of the war, and for years to come, the dwarves poured down from the mountains, slaughtering those who dare to face them, as a revenge from the treason of Tulia Greyhard.
___

The country army gathered north, stopping the invading forces. A new law, making obligatory a period of 2 years serving the army was created and applied. And the population eager to defend their land were not demoralized. The inventions of the gnomes finally been put to use, the war changed when canons were introduced, their use, still limited, was the proof of Lightfoot land military power.

___
The price of goods, like in tana's empire, is defined thanks to supply and demand. Having a system similar to their main foreign trading partner make exchange much easier.
___
Lightfoot land was, with Tana's empire, the original creator of the common ecu. It is them that, after years of economical partnership with tana's empire, started the idea of a common monetary system. It is the gnome who made the first ecu.

And as the gnome were those designing those coins, they keep on the exclusive right to cast those coins. Or rather, the Eastern Trader's Alliance has the owner ship of the only legal coins foundry. Of course,  counterfeit can be found but inspired by coins of the ancient civilization, such as those previously found in Yuan-ti hand, gnomes are working on imbuing the ecu with divination magic, making their copy much harder due to the identification provided.
___
The ancient coins of the Lightfoot Land were square or triangular coins, with a hole in the middle, and overall smaller than the empire coins. Mixing copper, silver, gold, and platinum coins.

> ##### Sidenote
> The ancient coins can still be found, and are still valuable, but they might not be accepted everywhere.
>___
> Electrum Ecu are not accepted in the Lightfoot Land

The headmaster of the Eastern Trader's Alliance ending up as a member of the great council, he ends up having a grasp and certain control on the banks. In addition, the Trader's alliance owns half of the coins foundry, the other half being the bank property.
___
Said banks are used for the same purpose as everywhere else, storing valuable resources, and use protection just as strong as those found in Tana's empire. In addition to the magic protecting the vault, sets of traps make it a dungeon for the rare that could penetrate the extradimensional vault.

Merchants, shopkeepers, and other traders often have to follow a certain set of laws, in order to work. A shopkeeper in the Lightfoot Land as to be part of the eastern trader's alliance or to pay a monthly fee to the alliance to be allowed to sell his products. Even if the member of the great council expert in economy and trading is the headmaster of the Trader's Alliance, other members of the great council can call out the alliance if it misbehaves, and offer the assurance to trader over the realm that the trader's alliance do not abuse its power.
___
Alliance support merchant in the Lightfoot land, even those that aren't part of the alliance, of course, the benefit won't be as important if you're not part of the alliance, but at least, thanks to regulation about competition, or created scarcity, it assures equal chance to most merchants.

Benefits such as connection, equipment, etc. are reserved to the Alliance member.
___
As for the specific, the ability of a merchant to buy a product or sell another one often depends on his shop, as except for a few exceptions, merchants are rather free when it comes to the product they can sell and buy.

But depending on the nature of goods it sells (common gear, magic item, jewelry, etc.) the taxes won't be the same. Overall, a merchant in the Lightfoot land as to give 5% of its benefits to the trader's alliance each year.
___
Thankfully for the merchant in the lightfoot land, foreign traders and products go through a much harder taxation process, making local commerce able to compete.

\columnbreak

#### Wealth
On one hand, a regular halfling, gnome, or verdan in the lightfoot land earn around 1 gold ecu per day, the exact amount varies depending on the area and job of course.

On the other hand, a small percentage of the population (around 1.5%) is noble, and has a grasp on political power. But, thankfully, a bigger percentage, (around 5%) of the population is considered rich.

Thanks to their inventions, trade, and other methods, some Common folk managed to become important business man, scientists, and other prestigious titles. Those Bourges manifest in high society, mixing the arrogance of the nobles, and the lack of manners of a peasant.

> ##### loan to inventors
> If requested, inventors can get a loan from the bank, with little to zero interest.
>
> This is thanks to the kingdom's support for an engineer, scholar, and other inventors alike to develop their craft.

### Geography
#### Plains
As for the vast majority of land in Toriel, it is composed in majority of plains and forest, and the Lightfoot land is no exception, green expanse expanding past the horizon, the lush grass covering the hills, a group of almiraj can often be seen, running through the grass, or group of axe beak can be crossed running through the tall grass.
___
Surrounding the various villages and towns, the fields take on golden color when the morning light shines on the crops, the country been self-sufficient when it comes to food resources, the various rivers forming high up in the mountains irrigating the fields, may it be from the frozen kingdom or the mountains to the west, allowing for the production of various cereals. 
___
Other rivers keep the plains, forest, and other natural regions lush in the south. Three major rivers regrouping at Oakhearth, the capital,  in the south.
___
Livestock is also common, but not as much as in tana’s empire, for example, the small people tend to eat less meat.
___
To the north, the snowy plains are mostly inhabited by gnomes, their joyful nature warming their heart against the cold weather. All of this free space allows for quite a nice place for the strange gnomish invention.

> ##### Axe Beak
> Axe beak originate from the plain in the south of the Lightfoot land and are used over the world as reliable mounts

\columnbreak

#### Mountains
The country posses 3 mountain ranges, 4 depending on the definition of the border, and therefore 4 according to the cartographer of the Lightfoot land.
___
To the south, mountains stretch vertically, making a visual landmark for the eastern border of the forest. Named the Traveler’s Peak in reference to the nearby forest name (the Traveler's Dream). The village in those mountains are agglomerated around the wavy road going through those mountains, and often really on back and forth with villages in the forest to exchange food, mineral, etc.
___
The mountains the west, bordering the green earth, make for natural protection against the minotaur, and due to their proximity with the dangerous Green earth, are free of any village.
___
The Mountains, north of oakhearth, are home to numerous Verdan villages, those villages are not exclusively verdan, but with the recent change to their nature, they tend to isolate themselves to the east.
___
The large mountain range to the northwest makes for more hostile terrain, and a sort of natural limit between the snowy plains/forest and the rest of the lands. But this didn’t manage to prevent villages, essentially of gnomes, to implement in those cliffs.
___
The variety of mountains, from the rocky peaks in the north to the flatter massif in the south makes many Halffling agile climbers.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.4 | Realms of Toriel</div>

\pagebreakNum

#### Forest
The large mountain makes for impressive rock formations on those land, but the majority is covered in forests when it isn’t vast plains. The sound of wood cracking echoing in the forest as the wind hurls between the leaf, the forest dark and ominous almost menacing, as footstep can be heard far away…
___
The great forest to the east is the residence of the Verdan, many villages dotting those lands, but it is also the home of dryads (not the same kind as those found in the wood of the vale in Tana’s empire) gracing the forest with lush vegetation and ever-growing tree. This makes it grimmer looking as the dense foliage prevents most light from coming through.
___
The Traveler's Dream to the south is a noticeable forest, its intriguing name coming from the appreciable weather and life condition. The forest is on the southern finister, it was cleaned of most monsters by the locals, and living in those wood is a relatively peaceful experience, at least in comparison to the rest of Toriel.
___
Finally, the most up north forest transitions to snow and ice the further you go. The large spruce tree standing tall against the element, The snow piled at the top falls on anybody who dares to hit the tree, and the strong wood is often used for the various inventions of the gnome and other inventors.

\columnbreak

#### Ocean, Sea and lac
As always, people tend to live close to the coast, as access to water is essential to life. However, from the many hills and valleys that stand in the way, the Lightfoot people are not known for their seafaring prowess.
___
Some maritime settlements exist, and deal with traders coming from the sea, a know trading route goes through the sea. But except for that purpose, the lightfoot land isn’t focused on maritime activities as it already has enough trouble on land.

## Frozen Kingdom

<br/>

### Faction
#### History
During the age of dragons, the dwarves, like all other races, were severely damaged. A huge part of the population was annihilated in a snap of the fingers. The survivors, aware of the danger that the humans who caused this cataclysm represented, took refuge in the mountains, barricading themselves and fortifying the accesses. In their isolation, they developed a bitterness for the humans, but more generally for all foreigners, seeing them as responsible for this cataclysm.
___
Despite the difficult beginnings, their nation remained united, and they exploited the land in which they had isolated themselves, mining the gold and mitral present in the mountains, developing an underground kingdom. They developed a gift for using the minerals they recovered and managed to acquire a reputation as formidable smiths and jewelers.
___
Despite all this, times were sometimes hard, especially when the dragons, during a war effort, settled in the nearby mountains. Preparing for the worst, the king ordered resources to be allocated to the war effort. The miners dug deeper and deeper into the bowels of the earth. There they discovered monsters that no one wanted to know about, and put their armies to good use, but this was not in vain, as they discovered, much later in 434 AD, the adamantine.
___
This fabulous metal was impenetrable to arrows and other projectiles and confident in their strength, they finally dared to leave their mountains. It came as a shock to the dwarves when they realized that the dragons were gone, the war was over, and societies of various races had sprung up all over the world. Despite their bitterness for others, they opened up to others, accepting the Goliaths in the icy plains that make up the north of their territories and began to open up to discussion and exchange with the halfling.
___
The trade of their new metal developed, and thanks to the support of the gnomes, they developed a weapon capable of piercing armor while being constituted, the blunderbuss.

\columnbreak

> ##### Blunderbuss
> This weapon was especially useful to penetrate armor, but it was not developed outside of the frozen kingdom. And due to its price, few of even dwarven soldiers possess this weapon.

**BlunderBuss**

*Weapon, Common*
___
*Cost: 750gp, 2d6 piercing damage, 10lb., Ammunition, range(20/30), Loading, Two-Handed, Martial*
 ___
Blunderbuss fire projectiles with ear-splitting noise, shredding armor with deadly force, they are heavy, and hard to manipulate, but can penetrate even adamantine.
___
When fired, the BlunderBuss emit a deafening crack audible 300 feet away. Unfortunately, the Blunderbuss becomes useless when wet. If the BlunderBuss is exposed to heavy rain, submerged, or drenched in water by a similar means, then it cannot fire. A character cannot use this weapon again until they complete a short rest in dry conditions.

When making an attack with this weapon, you must use your Strength modifier for both the attack and damage rolls.

When you take the attack action and successfully hit a creature with the blunderbuss, measure the weapon’s Scatter range from the square (or point of impact) that the target you hit occupies. All creatures other than the original target that fall within the weapon’s scatter range must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Scatter DC. Upon a failed save, they take damage equal to the ability score modifier you used to hit with the weapon (minimum of 1). Damage dealt this way is piercing.

**Scatter Save DC =** 8 + your proficiency bonus + Strength modifier.

Nevertheless, their opening also attract new conflicts, the dwarves getting along well with the small people of Lightfoot land, the borders opened, and the exchanges were numerous, so much so that the king fell in love with a halfling. The king loved her unconditionally and fought the noble families in order to marry her. Their union gave birth to a young daughter, Tulia. The birth sealed a new union, and the dwarf people, at first reluctant, cherished the child, for nothing in the world they wanted to see her leave. However, the laws of Lightfoot land said otherwise, and the child became the queen of Lightfoot land, abandoning the dwarves.
___
The coronation of the young Tulia triggered the fury of the dwarves, and their armies marched south to reclaim the royal child. The conflict was bloody, but the gnomes, halfling, and verdan held their ground, and together they faced up to it. As the years went by, the fighting calmed down, the conflict lessened. And the king's remarriage, this time to a dwarf, eased tensions even more.
___
Nowadays, the 2 countries still fight the blood war, but a non-agreesion pact has been concluded for the moment, and some exchanges can be resumed. But on both sides, everyone knows that this war will only really end with the death of Tulia Greyhard and Trone Frozen, the current king of the dwarves.

<br/>

The frozen kingdom is under the control of one of the noble families. Indeed, 7 noble families share the control of the dwarf kingdom's mountains, each one exerting its authority on its mountain, but the king has a more global pepper, supervising the activities of the different families. Thus, the family in place for this role has often evolved over the years, we can think in particular of the Icebeard having reigned from 2AD to 615 AD. The dwarves are very attached to this system, respecting the name of these families and what it represents.

<br/>

#### Regent
As the name suggests, it is a kingdom, ruled by a king, and unified against external threats. The king, a member of one of the 7 noble families, has the power to make decisions and represents all dwarves in these decisions. Of course, he is supported in this task by a group of advisors.
___
This group of advisors is composed of representatives of each of the noble families, as well as other experts in their fields, such as the treasurer, or the general of the army. It is with the support of these advisors that the king makes his decisions.

The members of each noble family usually hold the majority of these important positions, such as manager of the mines or keeper of the great libraries. Only the nobles can hold important positions

> **Frozen Kingdom Timeline : [Link](https://www.worldanvil.com/w/toriel-elektriik/t/frozen-kingdom-timeline-timeline?preview=1)**

\columnbreak
 
Thus, with the support of this advice, the kingdom evolves and reacts to the different events that impact it. Of course, in times of crisis, an advisor can be called in earlier, or the king can make decisions alone. This was especially the case at the beginning of the blood war against lightfoot land.
___
The country is organized in such a way that only the nobles have access to the management of the most important domains. Nevertheless, this system is appreciated by the population, which admires the families reigning on the mountains.

> ##### Kingdom name
> The kingdom takes on the name of the leading family, nowadays, the king is part of the frozen family, so the kingdom is called the frozen kingdom, but if the Icebeard family was to take over again, it would be called the Icebeard Kingdom.

There are 7 noble families in the frozen kingdom, the leader of each one ruling over one of the mountain cities.

* **Frozen Family.** They rule over the capital, the mountain city of Montmend.
* **Icebeard Family.** They rule over the mountain city of Kaghrihm.
* **Amberforge Family.** They rule over the mountain city of Vurnwohrum.
* **Hardheart Family.** They rule over the mountain city of Vul Darum.
* **Orewar Family.** They rule over the mountain city of Dugh Dural.
* **Zultik Family.** They rule over the mountain city of Bhaghbuldar.
* **Cascogne Family.** They rule over the mountain city of Mern Kuldor.

#### Valor
Some would call dwarves selfish and ethnocentric, but ask a dwarf, and he will tell you that he knows the importance of a united nation in the face of danger and that only the land he walks on will protect him and his comrades.
___
Moreover, dwarves also have high esteem for honor, dare to insult the honor of a dwarf to receive a punch in the face at best, and a judicial duel if it was a noble. Most dwarves attach particular importance to the glory that a profession can give them, or that an action can bring them. Thus, the hard work of the dwarves in the mines becomes a competition for the one who will have the honor to bring back the most ores, the craftsmen putting their honor at stake with the making of each new workpiece, etc...
___
The justice of the land is a two-tiered system, with conflicts between common folks being settled in the courts, where a noble judge, based on what everyone says. Alternatively, there might be a judicial duel. But if the conflict involves the nobles, then the large families are called to judge, and this almost always takes the form of a duel to wash their honor.
___
The troublesome part comes when a common folk dares to bother a noble, the latter often related in some way or another to a judge, can easily force the commoner to be found guilty. This more often than not lead to the cultrip crumbling under debts, languishing in prison, and losing any honor he had.
___
Dwarves are also rather religious, but their culture and belief push them to work rather than pray, but some dwarven festivals and celebrations revolve around their gods.

> ##### Purple Worm
> Dwarves have an interesting pantheon, one of their god, the god of hydromel, ale, and other similar beverage is portrayed as a bulky dwarf, standing on a throne, said throne serving as a saddle to ride on a purple worm, the many barrels of beverages of the god strapped further back on the purple worm body.
>___
> Thanks to this, dwarves have a certain veneration of purple worms, of course, they fight those who dare to intrude their city, but as much as possible, they try not to disturb those monsters.

\columnbreak

#### Diplomatie
From a diplomatic point of view, the dwarves extended themselves to the outside world only belatedly, at least compared to most other nations.

Therefore, the only official treaties of the nation are with the goliaths, now living on their territory, and with Lightfoot Land.

* **Frozen Kingdom & Golitah:** Alliance
* **Frozen Kingdom & Lightfoot land:** Trade agreements (Lightfoot sell magic objects to the frozen kingdom and buy raw material)
* **Frozen Kingdom & Lightfoot land:** Non-aggression pact (technically still at war)

When it comes to their relation with the lightfoot land, it is conflictual since the war began. With the non-aggression pact, trading is possible again, but limited. The Frozen kingdom spent centuries in isolation, so they are autonomous and can sustain themself despite the very little trading.
___
When the dwarves have to discuss and make an agreement, they never send a delegation, but rather wait for one to come to their mountains, as they prefer to have the upper hand in political discussion.
___
The only trading international trading route of the kingdom connecting them to Lightfoot Land, but due to the tension, the borders are heavily secured, and crossing them is not possible with the necessary papers.
___
Apart from the trading with the kingdom further south, there is little transit, and even migrants are rare, especially with the tension at the border.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.4 | Realms of Toriel</div>

\pagebreakNum

#### Conflicts
The war with Lightfoot land is still going on, and the dwarf armed forces are still standing by for a potential assault, potential revenge from the time they marched south. Therefore, crossing the border requires authorization and motive, as well as detailed inspection, as both nations want to avoid spies and terrorists.
___
This war, called the War of Blood, is unlikely to end officially until the death of the Dwarf King, Trone Frozen, and the Queen of Lightfoot Land, Tulia Greyhard. And those because, both father and daughter are incredibly stubborn, neither will give in or admit to any past wrongdoing.
___
Indeed, the current war is due to the birth of Tulia Greyhard, daughter of Frozen Trone, and Leana Greyhard. The union of the representatives of the two nations did not seal a lasting union but was the spark of a war to come.
___
The king, Trone Frozen, had to fight for years to be allowed to marry, but the marriage was short-lived, as young Tulia's mother died in childbirth. With the death of their queen, the people of lightfoot land claimed the child's right of succession, but the dwarves refused to let the child take the throne.
___
Nevertheless, the child managed to return to her mother's land, rising tensions between the two nations. Each claimed the girl as part of their royalty. The mixed-blooded child, inheriting her father's character, decided to take what was due to her, and ascended the throne, becoming the queen we know today.
___
The war began, as dwarf armies swept through the southern lands, unleashing the fury of their nation on all who crossed their path. The dwarven armies spread out to face the dragons, the simple halfling, gnomes, and verdan were no real threat.
___
The Lightfoot Land forces gathered in the north, stopping the invasion as best they could, suffering many casualties, while the dwarves, though stymied, suffered few deaths. But the problem was the endurance of the locals. Defending their land, every soldier that fell was replaced, while the dwarves were tired of the fighting.
___
Finally, the gnomes used cannons, and the adamantium armor of the dwarves began to fail, and the current status quo of the war began.

<br/>

In addition to this historical conflict, many internal tensions exist between the noble family, as they fight for power, hoping to become the next king, this is more evident when the king gets old, as their fight becomes quite obvious. Thankfully for the folk of the Frozen kingdom, the frozen family has been there for 2 generations now, providing some kind of stability, at least if the next generation is also a member of the frozen family.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.4 | Realms of Toriel</div>

\pagebreakNum

### Economy
#### Exchange
Most of the trade and other transactions are done between members of the kingdom, given the rather limited international openness of the kingdom, this is quite understandable. Nevertheless, some ways are the same as in other kingdoms, for example, the definition of the value of a good is done according to its rarity. Of course, other factors can influence this value, like a monopoly for example.
___
In addition, the dwarves have adapted the common currency system, and use the ecu.

The Frozen Kingdom coins, their ancient coin were showing the symbol of the family ruling the mountains under which they were created, the shape varying from a perfect circle, to oval. Mixing copper, silver, gold, and platinum coins.
___
This currency is regulated by the gnomes, nevertheless, during their conflicts with Lightfoot land, the dwarves have created an independent organization of management of the currency, the organization is not officially recognized at the international level, but makes faith among the dwarves.

As a result, dwarf coins are often subject to detailed inspection by banks, which consider them counterfeit if they were made by dwarf forges.
___
The centralization of this currency is done in the royal vault. This room dedicated to the accumulation of goods serves as a bank, and each of the mountain nations has a similar room. It holds the vast majority of the wealth of the dwarves living in this mountain, and the banks of the kingdom are not centralized. This impractical system has been made in order to guarantee the security and potential independence of each mountain in the event of a new apocalypse.
___
But, these treasure rooms work like banks, it does not include modern comforts such as borrowing, at least for individuals. Professionals can apply for a "royal investment fund".

\columnbreak

#### Commerce and fiscality
The businesses within the kingdom are as diverse and varied as anywhere else. However, there are no alliances or associations that carefully monitor trade, instead, the leaders of each mountain city are in charge of regulating trade in the cities. Thus, taxes can vary from one mountain to another, creating trade flows that are quite specific to the dwarf territories.
___
This creates a rather uneven form of competition, however, due to the relative independence of each mountain city, it is difficult to do anything about it.
___
These taxes are paid to the state, or to be more precise, to the noble family in charge of the city where the taxes are paid. A percentage will necessarily go to the crown, but the majority benefits the family reigning over the city, in the hope that this money will be used for the improvement of the city and the kingdom.
___
In fact, much of this money goes into the pockets of the nobles, but what is left is indeed used to develop the cities and the kingdom.

<br/>

#### Wealth
The small population represents a majority of the population and lives with about one gold coin per day. This amount may seem ridiculous, especially compared to the lifestyle of the nobles, and the few dwarves who can boast of being rich.
___
The majority of the people work in what we would call manual jobs, killing themselves to bring glory and honor to their name, and the rich benefit from this work effort. Nevertheless, despite the obvious inequality, no revolution is rumbling. 
___
Of course, listening to the tavern stories, you can hear the miners complaining about their conditions, the blacksmith complaining about the delays, and the innkeeper complaining about the taxes. But it is almost the nature of a dwarf to be grumpy and complain constantly.

### Geography
#### Plains
Once past the immense mountains, home of the dwarves, one arrives in the great snowy plains extending to the ocean further north. The uniform white of the plains leaves nothing to envy the other northern regions, and the creatures living there are renowned for their resistance and having a strong constitution. Thus, it is suspected that under such conditions, breeding or agriculture is not possible for the goliath, living here. therefore, their population hunt and fish for food (mainly hunt due to the ice making it hard to fish).

<br/>

#### Mountains
The mountains are surely the most important part of the kingdom, the immense steep mountains, houses of the dwarf being more than famous, the different mounts covering a large area. The legends say that these mountains are the remains of the body of an ancient god, which explains the many primary resources found there.
___
Indeed, the majority of the kingdom of Frozen lives in the mountains, Mountmend being the capital, and the most notable city. But there are 7 mountain cities in the kingdom, each under the dominion of a different family. Those 7 cities constitute the vast majority of dwarven infrastructure, as very few villages and towns exist outside of those main cities.
___
The country derives much of its wealth from its mining operations. It has everything from the solid stones needed to build buildings to the rarest minerals used in the manufacture of legendary artifacts.

\columnbreak

> Necropolis, connected to the grey waste and the city of the dead in the Shadowfell, is hidden deep in one of those mountains

<br/>

#### Forest
the forests are scattered, covering the foot of the mountains and especially present at the southern border, providing an additional source of food for the peoples of the kingdom. the immense Fir trees are covered with snow most of the year.

<br/>

#### Ocean, Sea and Lac
The icy waters surrounding the kingdom, are not very suitable for navigation, due among other things to the presence of huge ice floes, making navigation difficult, the few coastal villages not relying on fishing.
___
it is immense iceberg are nevertheless the habitat of species more than interesting, at least from a biological point of view, because the inhabitants do not want to rub shoulders with them. One of the Icebergs being known to contain the Frozen Corpse of a White Dragon.

The Frozen Cove at the west is the only water that can be suitable for fishing depending on the time of the year and is shared with the lightfoot land

## Green Earth

### Faction
#### History
The Green earth has a chaotic history, been a land of wild and dangerous monsters, where only the strongest of tribe can dwelve, their written history is rare, and hard to recover.

##### Yuan-ti
The Yuan-ti refuse to share their history, filled with secrets, the kind historian and other searchers crave for, but they are known to be the keeper of the jungle secret. Their society is highly religious, and the high priestess reign over the people. The yuan-ti are among the richest in the mortal world, accumulating power and goods for thousands of years, they were able to progress during a time where the other races were forced to hide. As such, they spread their dominion over the jungle, enslaving the tortles.
___
Due to their history, and the fact they were still expanding during the dragon age, secrets of the ancient civilization are kept by the yuan-ti. Many believe dark rituals and dark magic are among the Yuan-ti collection of forgotten knowledge.
___
Similarly, the Yuan-ti are keen to dominate the entire Green earth, maybe even more, and this is no secret. It is not known if they plan on using those ancient artifacts to do so, but Lightfoot land and Tana's Empire do keep an eye out for such a threat.
___
The snake people are evil been and do not hesitate to enslave others for their benefit. A striking example is the fate of the tortle, reduced to slave for the yuan-ti, or as a component in dark ritual for their God Sseth. They are said to be emotionless been, and as such, they exhibit behavior and use tactics that exemplify that outlook (or lack of one).
___
Every Yuan-ti Pray Sseth, the yuan-ti god, or demon, the exact nature of this been is unknown. This god protected them

##### Hobgoblin Empire
Most other tribes lack written history, except maybe for the hobgoblin empire. Their record mainly focusing on their law, and military action, we know of the state of the region they populated over the years. Hans-Jürgen was their first emperor, starting to rule over the hobgoblin when the rules were established enough to define the union of hobgoblin as an empire, but it was only later, once the era of dragons was over, that they started to conquer the south of the Green earth, with Günther Wilhelm as their emperor. Their expansion leading them to march on all the land east and south of their mountains, their troops organized, beating any who dare to face them, mostly wandering tribes of goblin, shifter, and Kalashtar.

Those fights take the form of multiple challenges, the contestant having to beat the current emperor in every single one of them to become the new emperor. Those challenges are designed to test the intellect, strength, and leadership ability of a candidate.
___
Despite their first, successful expansion granting the hobgoblin an impressive territory, they have eyes on the north, looking at the lands occupied by orcs and minotaur, but now to wait for a better moment, for their armies to be stronger before facing those foes.

##### Other Tribes

Many tribes missing opportunities, may they be economic, military, or political, and some of those tribes wish to get a better grasp on the affair of this world. In order to fix this issue, an official union of some of those tribes was declared. This unification gathering the Yuan-ti, The Horse-Skull Orc, the Tabaxi, The hobgoblin empire, and a tribe of lizardfolk under a common, banner.
___
But, with the many conflicts with the green earth, some pacts and deals have been directly addressed to the hobgoblin empire, and rumors say they are about to quit this union.

Overall, this union made numerous conflicts arise in between the tribe part of it, conflict mainly for decision making power.
___
As for the exact territory of the Green earth, the border is not clear, most of the wildlands in the center of Toriel are designed by this common name, but any vast untamed land could easily end up with a similar nickname.

#### Regent and valour
The regime is technically the most democratic there is, each people being independent, and political decisions are voted on at annual meetings by the leaders. But some peoples, such as the Yuan-ti, are known for their shenanigans to ensure that their voices are heard. So each tribe chooses its leaders differently, each being independent and having their valor. Talking about Valour, one that is shared by all the tribes is Liberty, otherwise, they wouldn’t stay in Green Earth.

##### Centaur

> **Tortle enslavement**
> ___
> The centaur are far more comfortable in the vast plains to the south, the dense jungle making it hard for them to roam those lands, they couldn't prevent the enslavement of tortles.

##### Goblin
The many tribes of goblin tend to follow a similar pattern, the strongest of them bully the other into submission, at least until a goblin strong enough take him out, due to this process, some goblin tribe are lead by a non-goblin, such as a bugbear. The leader has all the power, many of the tribe members try to defy his authority, but once they get punched hard enough, they tend to agree with the leader's decision. The goblin that do not like that system, but lack the strength to do anything about it leave, at least if they are brave enough to, in an attempt to find a new place to live.

\columnbreak

The goblin lack real valor, or standard to hold their people to, but if one had to find something to fit them, it would probably be **survival**. Goblin are well aware of their weakness, this knowledge is reflected in all of their action, and in their organization, but they do everything in their power to survive, been cowardly, fleeing, or accepting the authority of anyone stronger to survive. As such, their ability to adapt and survive is quite spectacular.

##### Hobgoblin Empire
The hobgoblin Empire is as the name suggests an empire, therefore, an emperor reign over the empire with a fist of iron. The empire has been under hobgoblin dominion, this emperor is a hobgoblin, and he is trusted to make the correct decision for the empire, the selection process for the emperor been extremely selective, the hobgoblin have total faith in their emperor. In addition, the hobgoblin appreciation for law and order help to create a stable political system.

___
The emperor title is something that is won among hobgoblin, and doing so requires candidates judging themself worthy and willing to challenge the emperor to face him in multiple challenges. The candidate has to beat the current emperor in every single one of them to become the new emperor. Those challenges are designed to test the intellect, strength, and leadership ability of a candidate.
___
Their valor, **law** and **order** perfectly reflect the hobgoblin mentality, they know the importance of society and of been organized and value this above everything else, not only hobgoblin law, but they tend to also closely follow the law of the place they are in, at least if they do not come to conquer it. For a hobgoblin, it is thanks to those valor they can survive and progress as a society.
___
The loxodon, conquered by the hobgoblin do not necessarily value those valor as highly, but appreciate them, especially as they know that, following the established law, they'll be treated as proper citizens of the empire.

##### Kalashtar
Kalashtar are human-looking people, highly connected to spirit, called quori. They all share a connection with a spirit, and those spirits guide them in their life, as such, they do not have a king, emperor, or other kinds of leader, but are all connected by this common link to the spirits.
___
As such, those spirits might be considered leader of the tribe. The exact nature of those spirits is unknown, but nothing says they are not organized to lead the Kalashtar. No matter the exact nature of those spirits, the kalashtar tend to follow their guidance and are united doing so.
___
This strange society mainly work thanks to the very limited population off kalashtar, very few humans who turned to the spirit after the great cataclysm were gifted with the ability to communicate with them.
___
Due to this special organization, there is no strict value they try to hold onto, but their link to each other, and the strong bond they share with the spirit make them a strong community. This could be described as their valor, **community**

##### Lizardfolk
Lizardfolk are primal tribes living in the swamp, the many tribes spread in the region are similar, and are generally differentiated thanks to physical attributes (the bulky one in one tribe, the crocodile looking one in another). Each tribe has a leader, and this leader has total power and acts with the help of an advisor.

##### Minotaur
Minotaur are brutal. Thriving in battle, willing to fight to their death, they care very little about leadership and similar concept, the strongest becomes the leader, and bring the warriors of the tribe to great battles. The immense area they claim as their territory allows for plenty of battle opportunities.
___
In the last decade or so, the leader of the minotaur started to undergo some kind of transformation, becoming chosen of Baphomet, his power and strength massively improving as if the demon were slowly extending their influence to the minotaur, but their violent nature ain't a consequence of this change, that's for sure.
___
As a violent group of individuals, living for the glory of battle, their valor can be summarized as **Fight till your death**.

##### Orc
**Red Fang.** Fierce warrior, the leader is chosen as the one graced with the most demonic power, and therefore the stronger of them. Valuing the strength above all, he crushes any attempt to contest him with violent repression, and lead his tribe to multiple raid and plundering of neighboring tribes.

___
The valor of the Horse-Skull are also incredibly related to their history, keeper of ancient druidic secrets, they consider this task as the most important one of the tribe, as such, their valor is **keep the druidic knowledge**. This ancient heritage has been their most valuable possession, but this doesn't mean they totally prevent access to this knowledge, only that they grant access to it only to those they judge worthy of knowing it.

##### Shifter
The shifter society is a cast society, the rank in said society are based on the ability of a were-touched's ability to shift. The closer this shifting bring him to a full lycanthropic transformation, the higher ranking the shifter is.
___
As expected with this ranking, the leader is more often than not a full-blown lycanthrope. Leading the tribe as they wander the land, shifter tend to have a strong bond with each other.

This is even more true nowadays, a large portion of shifter used to leave to Tana's empire, but the church inquisition against lycanthrope annihilated them, and the survivor escaped back to their original tribe.
___
Shifter maintains strong links with the wilderness, but as expeditions from the church were hunting them, children of cursed creatures, they had to run and hide, even in the Green earth. It isn't uncommon to find shifter living with other tribe or population, hiding as best as they can.
___
This time hiding as if they were the pray is now reflected on their valor, **conserve your shifting** and **hide your shifting**. Those teached early on to young child developing their natural ability, is meant to protect them, this blessing made them the prey of the church of Waukeen, and they better hide it, yet they should do their best to conserve this shifting, to keep this flame alive, as it is their heritage.

> **Ritual of the Purple Fruit**
> ___
> There is a rare ritual among shifter to change cast, this ritual, known as the ritual of the purple fruit is rare, as the components are rare and expensive. But a shifter drinking the strange mixture falls unconscious, his soul interacting with the curse in an astral way. Many perish with this, but those who survive become full-blown lycanthrope (the type of which depending on the shifter).

##### Tabaxi
The catpeople live south of the jungle, where the edge of the jungle, the savanna, and great plains meet and where giant trees dot the land. Their city, built on top of those trees oversee their territory.
___
The reagent is designed for his strength, every year there is a trial, where anyone can challenge the king. The winner is the king for the year to come.

The current King is probably one of the ones that have stayed at this place the longest, as it’s been more than 20 years that he is there. The king receives advice from the elder tabaxi, and with their help, decides for the whole tribe.
___
Tabaxi are people that tend to be curious, always searching for new things to do, new way to explore the land, or to do mundane tasks in unusual ways, as such one of their valor is **curiosity**, as it is seen as a great proof of health to be curious.

##### Yuan-ti
The yuan-ti, wealthy and powerful have clear intention of expansion. To achieve those dreams of expansion, and their maleficient need for corruption, they slowly try to spread their influence over the green earth. Leader of the recent unification, they keep on influencing it member, creating conflict between them, and gaining better control of the situation.
___
To accomplish their role, they are lead by the high priestess, their society been highly religious, she serves both as an intermediate to their god and as a leader, transmitting the word of Sseth to its people.

This high priestess is always a woman, her child, wish is always a daughter, will become the future high priestess once her mother will die. Said death is a ritual, as the high priestess gives herself to the god with a bloody sacrifice when her daughter becomes old enough to lead.
___
But this is a rather rare event, as only the chosen of the god will be able to provide the high priestess with a child.
___
The valor of their nation reflects their mentality and dream, **Pray Sseth**, **Exploit the weaker**, and **Spread the Yuan-ti influence** are what could be described as their valor, as most Yuan-ti oblige by those.

> **Vampire and Yuan-ti**
> ___

This in addition to their old tradition as lead to a friendship with some high vampire. The name of those vampires are transmitted from high priestess to high priestess

The tortle used to live in the jungle on their own, but the yuan-ti forced them to become slaves. The tortle were not necessarily the best warrior, and the snake people cunning got them easily enough.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.4 | Realms of Toriel</div>

\pagebreakNum

#### Diplomatie
The faction has no real allies, because of the diversity of the peoples there, they cannot agree to create stable and lasting alliances. Nevertheless, a peace treaty has nevertheless succeeded in being concluded with Tana's Empire. But due to the lack of respect for its condition, the treaty didn't last long, and a new one was concluded specifically with the hobgoblin empire.

Similarly, a trade agreement was signed between the hobgoblin empire and the lightfoot land :

* **Tana's Empire & Hobgoblin Empire:** Non-aggression pact
* **Lightfoot land & Hobgoblin Empire:** Trade agreements (Lightfoot land buy raw materials)

The chaotic organization of these lands poses many problems for the implementation of such agreements. And the Hobgoblin empire comes out of this as a stable nation to communicate with for other countries, as such, the two important pact and agreements have been signed with the hobgoblin empire instead of the union of some green earth tribe.
___
Of course, other trades and diplomatic agreements exist with the neighboring nation, but they are not important enough to be part of the official paper.

Some brave merchant, often from underground networks, trade with the Horse-Skull tribe in order to bring back wyvern to sell in Tana's empire

Caravan of Tabaxi often travel to the hobgoblin empire to sell their good and buy other, the hobgoblin empire then uses those goods, or can try to sell it back to the lightfoot land or Tana's empire merchant passing by.
___
Even if many tribes part of the recent union of the Green earth agree that centralized power would be a great step forward, no one accepts that another tribe could potentially guide them. An annual inter-tribal council is usually held in Orrinshire, the Yuan-ti preferring it to take place in their city, where they have more control, rather than in the hobgoblin city of Boatwright.

\columnbreak

The majority of goods flows take place in the south, the hobgoblin providing a safe road from tana's empire to the Lightfoot land against a fee. The Hobgoblin empire is also developing an impressive float, the ships primarily serving as cargo ships, can double as military vehicles if necessary.

The south is also a great place of migratory transitions, the passage by Green earth being obligatory to join lightfoot land and Tana's empire without taking the boat.
___
Of all the tribe and faction part of the green earth, the hobgoblin are with no doubt the most powerful militarily, despite the unknown variable of the yuan-ti hidden power, the hobgoblin army represents a force to be reckoned with, and their empire is also the most populated, as it count both the hobgoblin and the loxodon. But the yuan-ti and their total control over the jungle can probably be seen as those with the largest territory, and they are also the wealthiest.

<br/>

#### Conflicts
As explained before, the conflict and tension between the tribe of the green earth are many.

The Red Fang orcs and minotaur always looking for blood keep on attacking any neighboring tribe, making the life of Horse-Skull orcs, Tabaxi, and the hobgoblin empire much more difficult.

The Yuan-ti keep on trying to infiltrate and influence others, provoking chaos and conflict in an attempt to take over their tribe, enslaving them in the future. This task revealing itself to be harder than expected when some of those tribes (like minotaur or red fang orcs) already thrive in chaos and conflict.

The Hobgoblin tirelessly defending their border, making sure their empire stay safe, and under their control, often fighting off Red Fang raid or minotaur raid.
___
The annual inter-tribal council does condemn those orcs, but as all tribe aren't part of this reunion, it is hard to influence most of those provoking those conflicts without provoking a total war.

In addition, corruption and other modern political shenanigans are all found in those councils, mainly thanks to the yuan-ti cunning action.

### Economy
#### Exchange
Trading in the Green earth largely vary depending on who you trade with, but some core principal stay the same. The rarity of a product affect its value, and this for all kinds of item, magic, crafted good, natural products.. whatever it is, the rarer it is, the more expansive it is. Due to the lack o connection with other economies, at least for most tribes of the Green Earth, the rarity of product is evaluated very locally.
___
**The hobgoblin empire and the Tabaxi.** Both accept the common ecu, this is mainly thanks to the hobgoblin empire, been an important obstacle on the main trading route, the empire has many trading opportunities, and switched to the common ecu. The tabaxi, often trading with them, quickly followed.
___
**The Yuan-ti.** The Yuan-ti had kept mountains of gold from the ancient civilization, and always used those as their own. small square with the corner cut off, an arcane symbol was stamped on them, the effect of which was later found to be for identification purpose.
___
**The Horse Skull and Goblins.** They do not value gold or ECU, and when trading, will ask for services or other good to exchange.

> ##### Ancient Coins
> The ancient coins used in the Yuan-ti city are still valuable even in Tana's empire, the Hobgoblin empire or Lightfoot land, but won't be accepted by most merchants, and you'll have to trade them at a bank.

\columnbreak

When the common ecu used by the hobgoblin empire and Tabaxi is created by the gnomish bank, the only one legally mandated to create the ecu. The Yuan-ti count on their reserve to fuel their economy, trading mostly with underground networks dealing in slavery, and rare components found only in the jungle.
___
**Yuan-ti.** When it comes to banks, or way to hold those valuable, the Yuan-ti stockpile the coins in their temple, the amount of treasure found in those temples been quite inconceivable. 
___
**Hobgoblin Empire.** The hobgoblin empire, which uses the common ecu, created actual banks. Those banks, regulated by hobgoblin law manage currency deposited by their client, and also regulate any potential to abuse the system.
___
Similarly, the hobgoblin empire has part of the imperial advisor dedicated to the economy, providing wise feedback on taxes, trading regulation, and other similar problem.
___
Sadly for the inhabitant of the hobgoblin empire, their bank, will extremely secure, didn't had the technology to develop extradimensional space for their vault yet, and as such, all banks vault are not connected. But magical protection is still applied to any banks, and numerous guards make sure they are safe.

#### Commerce and fiscality
There are no alliances, churches, or organizations overseen trade in the Green earth, the yuan-ti tend to accumulate wealth with no real intention of spending it yet, but the hobgoblin have plenty of regulation.
___
Currently, in the Hobgoblin empire, 20% of the turnover of any transaction has to go to the state as a tax. In addition, foreign goods receive an additional 10% tax on the price of any goods.
___
Additionally, merchants, shopkeepers, and other traders have to follow a set of laws, in order to work. Those laws, dictated by the Emperor are made with the intention of providing the Empire with wealth to fuel the plan of the emperor, such as the construction of an armada of ships.
___
With the lack of overarching structure except for the Empire itself, small groups of merchants tend to gather, hoping to lower renting cost, to help each other with paperwork, and to have support when in need to pay the fee.
___
The empire also oversees the merchant for any kind of abuse, as those are severely punished, may it be creating scarcity, or the lack of competition.

\columnbreak

#### Wealth
**Hobgoblin Empire and The Tabaxi.** The common folk in the hobgoblin empire or in the Tabaxi tribe live with around 1 gold ecu per day. This value can change depending on its job, location etc.. of course
___
The wealthier population of the empire tends to not boast or display their wealth, but this wealth is a mark of their success, and as such, they are generally higher ranking in the hobgoblin society, just like military officer. They represent a rather small portion of society, around 5% to 10% of the population.
___
The modest population envies the wealthier of course, but the hobgoblin empire is such that they think this wealth is obtainable with hard work. Over the years, a myth of "work hard and you'll become wealthy" has been created, pushing the population to work instead of complaining.
___
**Yuan-ti.** Meanwhile, the common Yuan-ti folk live with what could be valued as 3 gold ecu, this amount takes into account the charge they have to pay to maintain their slaves, but this generally represents a few silver a day.
___
The Yuan-ti, probably thanks to their accumulated wealth, tend to be wealthy, exploiting the others to make sure they keep a comfortable lifestyle.

### Geography
#### Plaines
The vast plains stretch as far as the eye can see in the south of the Green earth, the sun burning the grasses of the savannah, creating an orange-yellow sea swaying in the wind. Further north and south, the grass regains its color, the green tussocks growing to impressive heights in which the most dangerous of predators can roam.

Those lands are home to the Orcs and minotaur.
___
In addition, we must not forget the swamps to the north, above the jungle, the peat letting the adventurers daring to penetrate it sink to the knees, slowing down their movement while the locals know how to move, making for perfect natural traps. The thick fog covering the region preventing the perception of any threat before it is too late.

Nevertheless, this is where the Lizzardfolk are known to live, them and some goblin tribes. Both of them manage to move around in these places without any problem and live from hunting and fishing.
___
The country generally benefits very little from agriculture, because of the diversity of the people who live there, and the fact that few of them are sedentary, the inhabitants of Green earth live by hunting, gathering, and fishing.

\columnbreak

#### Mountains
There are 4 main assembly series in the green lands, each rather specific, but most are not habitated due to the dangerous nature of those mountains.
___
The most southern one, inhabited by the Hobgoblin, is the place of passage of the merchants and travelers between the empire of Tana and the Hobgoblin empire. Thus, in spite of the steep cliffs, and the height of these peaks, many passages exist, and villages are scattered in the more clement places within this mountain. These villages are mainly used as stopping points for those crossing the border and live mainly from this activity.

Those mountains also offer natural resources, the capital city of the Hobgoblin empire, BoatWright been on the side of the mountains, numerous mines exploit those resources, to latter sell those to traders and merchant passing by.
___
In the middle of the savannah, a large rock formation is unmistakable. The sharp rocks and the treacherous nooks and crannies make this place one of the most dangerous, where no one dares to live, only terrifying monsters of their power are able to live there.
___
Further east, the mountains, serving as a border with lightfoot land make for a natural obstacle to the minotaur craving for plundering, but due to their proximity with another country, and the tension at the border, those mountains are free of any village.
___
Finally, the mountains at the southwest of the jungle, making this already hostile forest even more complicated to cross. These mountains are also uninhabited and serve as a natural habitat for many creatures.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.4 | Realms of Toriel</div>

\pagebreakNum

#### Forest
The forests make up once again, a huge part of the territory, the vast shaded areas delimiting the territories, and sometimes having quite exceptional properties.
___
**Whispering wood.** The southernmost forest, it is an integral part of the Hobgoblin empire, but the vast wooded expanse it constitutes is probably one of the most complicated places for the Hobgoblin army to secure perfectly. Because of this, some goblin tribes manage to live in the heart of the forest. Moreover, this wood is also used as a raw material for the empire, and for its expansion, whether it is for the construction of fleets, or the enlargement of its cities.
___
**Mushroom Forest.** To the east of the savannah, giant mushrooms appear. These, generally between four and six meters high, constitute a very strange forest. The spores they give off, of a magical nature, make this area one of the most magically charged places, so any magic used in the heart of this forest is likely to create some... unexpected events. The Minotaur, who settled in the middle of this forest, burned the land, hoping to get rid of the effect of the mushrooms around their camps, seeing this as another enemy to be destroyed. However, the mushrooms grow back faster than they can be burned.
___
**Tree above the clan.** Finally, further north, shortly before the jungle, a collection of trees, called tree above the clan by the Tabaxi living in those trees, can be designated as a forest. The few trees compensated by their immensity, rising 80m to 100m above the plains. Their wood is extremely rare, due to the scarcity of these trees, but also due to the difficulty of extraction, resistance to fire, and impacts, its uses can be multiple.

\columnbreak

**Calames Jungle.** The name comes from a deformation of the word calamity by the language of Yuan-ti. Indeed, the human population used to call this jungle the jungle of calamities. Covering a huge portion of the territory, the dense jungle is home to many monsters, including dinosaurs, replacing the more common beasts. As a result, the jungle is one of the most dangerous places, and as if that wasn't enough, the inhabitants of this place, the Yuan-ti, are not the most friendly. Their capital, Orrinshire, is hidden within the jungle. Many legends of powerful sorcerers hiding in tombs buried under vines and vines within the jungle exist, and inspire some adventurers to get into this jungle.

<br/>

#### Ocean, Sea, and lac
The mermaid path has a strange mix of creatures swimming in its water. The merfolk living in their underwater city to the northwest of the path, closer to tana's empire.

## Academy of magic
The schools of magic are spread through the lands and kingdom, forming the academy of magic

At the heart of every major city, is a wizard's school, a nexus for scholars wishing to study the weave, Independent enough to let the most ingenious and curious of them run wild experimentations. The various wizard school spread across the land have, once combined, an impressive collection of dangerous and rare items, keeping them safe and studying their powers. Founded by Darvik, back when learning magic was still done by independent tutors or union of local mage, the various school lives up to the shining vision of its founder, to be "a beacon of knowledge".
___
But, the university magic isn't pristine, tainted by rumors of cruel experimentation, treasure hunting, and profiteering. Many priceless relics recovered from the first civilization ruins have disappeared from the university vaults and found their way to the black market. It’s an open secret that some scholars, professors, and even students at the university have ties to smugglers and thieves.
___
Scholars and professors of the various school of magic are nonetheless very respected, generally noble, or coming from richer families as a year of scholarship costs 300gp. In addition to the power brought by the amount of money their family has, they know how to bend the weave as they like, and are not to joke with.

___
Eight schools of magic exist within Toriel, some variation and alternative schools may have grown, but only the 8 major schools of magic are represented by the magic academy and are the following: Abjuration, Conjuration, Divination, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion, Necromancy, and Transmutation.

<br/>

### Allies.
The academic world is relatively small, each of the wizard school is closely related under and follow the same set of rules. But in addition to those, the academy of magic have other connections. You might parlay such relationships into assistance from academies and institutions, such as the following organizations:

* **The Adventurer's Guild.** While there is no official agreement between any wizard schools and the adventurer's guild, they have a mutually beneficial relationship, the university asking for adventurer's assistance to recover certain relics, but unleashing dozen of wizards and other spellcasters, eager to adventure in this world.
* **Library of Oakhearth.** The Library of Oakhearth boasts the greatest collection of learning in the Lightfoot Land. It is common to see the scholar of the local school of Transmutation spend hours in the library corridor. Some higher-ranking wizards might even access the library's precious scroll collection to borrow a spell scroll to copy.
* **Oakhearth Observatorium.**  It is unfortunate for the scholar of the school of divination that the greatest observatorium is in Oakhearth, as it means they have to travel days to access it, but it is a price worth paying to access this place perfectly suited for astral observation. It is also common to see scholars from the school of Conjuration coming from Megima to have a better understanding of our plane and its tie with other planes.
* **Whispering Qwir.** The  Bard's college is a rival of the local school of conjuration, as both secretly teach part of the ancient art of baldesinging. More so, the school of Conjuration keeps refusing insight on its teaching or method to the local bards and agents of the bard's College.

<br/>

### Scholar Benefits
As a cholar of one of the schol of magic, you gain the following benefits:

* **Compensation.** The university pays accomplished wizard for the work you do on its behalf. The nature of your employment influences how you are paid. On average, the university pays each member of your group 1 gp per day, or enough to sustain a modest lifestyle. Or you might be paid a bounty for each ancient artifact you bring back from your adventures and give to the university.
* **Documentation.** Each member of your group has identification papers that include your affiliation with the university, which carries some clout in academic circles. The university also secures documentation, letters of introduction, and traveling papers for you if your work requires them.
* **Research.** Research might be part of your group’s job, but your patron has abundant resources to facilitate it. You can call in a favor to delegate the work of researching lore (a downtime activity described in the Player’s Handbook or Xanathar’s Guide to Everything) to a colleague, contact, or research assistant.

* **Training.** Because you’re associated with the university, you receive a discount on any education you wish to pursue.

## Adventurers guild
The adventurer’s guild has a reputation as a collection of helpful and good-hearted adventurers. Members who tarnish the guild’s reputation can no longer take advantage of the guild’s benefits.

<br/>

### Guildhall
The Adventurers’ Guild headquarters are located in most major cities in the world, from the capital of tana’s empire to oakheart. An adventurer’s guild is often the physical and social center of its district. Part quiet library, part comfortable inn, part active gymnasium, and part rowdy tavern, the guildhall contains practically every facility adventurers could need to train, study, and socialize. The neighborhood around it caters to adventurers’ other needs with its variety of shops and services.

<br/>

### Allies and Enemies
Relationships with most of the guild’s allies are based on business and built on upstanding reputations. Ultimately, though, the guild is a loose affiliation of groups, and organizations that have a good relationship with one of those groups might not transfer their good will to another. The following groups do brisk business with members of the Adventurers’ Guild:

* **Temple of Oghma (god of knowledge).** A group of acolytes, worshiping Oghma and specializes in translating texts. It also provides legal services for adventurers in trouble.
* **Tana Mercenary’ Club.** A fierce rivalry simmers between the adventurer’s guild and the mercenary club, probably due to the way both can be hired for sometimes similar jobs. Sometimes the rivalry can be described as almost friendly, but the mercenary club occasionally escalates it with vandalism of the adventurer’s guildhall or even physical (but usually nonlethal) attacks on guild members in dark alleys.
* **Oakheart Watch.** oakhearth is protected of the greatarmor Garrison and Watch Commander Lian Halamar. Halamar has no love for adventurers and is happy to catch guild members on the wrong side of the law. Especially since adventurers got away with killing a few of his guards, and breaking into a private lab.

<br/>

### Adventurer's Guild Benefit
As members of an adventurers’ guild, your group gains the following benefits:

* **Accommodations.** Guild members can stay at the guildhall. The room is comparable to one you’d find in a comfortable inn, but at a modest price (5 sp per day).
* **Dues.** These benefits require the monthly contribution of 5 gp paid to the Adventurers’ Guild, tho, adventurers who do quest for the guild do not have to pay this monthly fee. These dues fund the guild’s services and activities.
* **Information.** An adventurers’ guild headquarters makes a good place to learn about topics relevant to adventurers’ interests. If you need to find someone who’s knowledgeable about the Green earth, for example, the guild’s headquarters is a good place to look.
* **Referrals.** The guild can recommend hired services to its members at a 20 percent discount, drawing on other guild members’ experiences to provide honest, reliable, and skillful hirelings.
* **Training.** The adventurer's guild is full of scholar, expert swordsmen and other knowledgeable tutors. When you undertake the training downtime activity (as described in the Player’s Handbook and Xanathar’s Guide to Everything), the training takes half as long if its one of expertise of the guild member, such as language, weapon and armor, or or you can gain proficiency in the Investigation, Perception, or Survival skills by this method, as if you were learning a language. A character can only learn one of these skills in this way.

<br/>

### Guild Adventures
Among its various services, the Adventurers’ Guild offers a launchpad for all manner of adventures. Potential employers bring all manner of work to the guildhall, posting messages or seeking out those with specific fields of expertise. Guild members also relate news about opportunities via word of mouth. Such jobs might resemble those assigned by any other patron. Without a patron directing your assignments, your group is free to pursue its own goals, whether you’re seeking wealth, struggling against evil, pursuing a personal vendetta, or simply reacting to disastrous events around you.

<br/>

### History and creation of the guild
The adventurers' guild, despite its omnipresence and usefulness in our world, is a fairly recent grouping. Indeed it is only 247 years ago that Jaskier Tourtefoin founded the guild. The adventurers as we know them already existed, but he had the idea to create a structure grouping them together, allowing to easily deposit quests and making it easier for adventurers to find quests.
Soon, because of the usefulness of this grouping, and because of the achievements of the members of the guild, the influence of the guild spread. Today, the guild is a pillar of Tana’s Empire, and many official guild buildings are established all over the country, and even in surrounding countries such as the lightfoot land.

But, the church in tana's empire, spread its dominion far beyond the portfolio of its goddess. Highly involved in politics, justice, and military affair, the Church of Waukeen has a grasp on most important matters in Tana's empire. Therefore, your group may be working for the church in many and various ways. But no matter the mission, it will be under the title of 'war against the forces of evil'.
___
As templars of Waukeen, you have distinctive tabards with Waukeen symbol to wear over your other clothing or armor. the church of Waukeen is also the only entity, besides high noble, able to make you an actual knight, and you likely receive this title after working for them for long enough.

Their assistants carry the title of marshal, but no real division of rank exists beneath them.
___
Knights templar are free to wander the world in pursuit of the order’s aims. When leaving the jurisdiction of one commander and entering that of another, it is a knight’s responsibility to promptly report to the commander of the new area, in case that commander has a pressing need for a knight to perform a mission. The commanders try to keep each other informed about where knights are operating and what they are doing, but this system works better in some places—and between some commanders—than others.

<br/>

### Allies and Enemies
THe church, due to its position, influence and power, as many enemies and allies. Many are obligated to respect and pretend to love the church, but other, are known enemies, especially of the templar.

* **Eastern Trader's Alliance.** A fierce rivalry simmers between the church of Waukeen and the Eastern Trader's Alliance, both fighting for power over the economy.
* **Fiends and Undead.** Unnatural beings loathe templars, as they represent everything these foul creatures despise—light, life, hope, and good. These menaces sometimes go to great lengths to trap and destroy templars, and fiends take particular pleasure in corrupting the faithful to evil.
* **Lycanthropes.** All types and alignments of lycanthropes have a particular hatred for the Church of Waukeen, thanks to the systematical extermination of their kind and  a crusade that nearly exterminated their kind over a century ago. Shifters are uncomfortable with the templars for the same reason.

<br/>

* **Divine Service.** In times of need, your group can appeal to the priests of your faith for magical aid.

## Dark Lanterns
The Dark Lanterns is the intelligence division of the emperor, an organization sworn to defend the kingdom of Vale from its enemies and dispense justice in the name of the emperor. As the secret servants of the emperor, members of the organization are granted the authority to conduct intelligence operations on foreign soil, execute covert missions across the globe, and prevent national secrets from falling into the hands of rival intelligence agencies. The Dark Lanterns also have an unwritten license to eliminate any creature that threatens their nation, its sovereign, or its citizens.
___

Salomon Gendi, the emperor's close friend, serves as the leader of the Dark Lanterns, His unorthodox method might not seem the most effective, but yet, propelled him to the head of the Dark Lanterns. Subordinate spread across Tana's empire, in Windrin, Megima, and Ionguale.

___
**Agents.** The King’s Dark Lanterns includes around 500 agents operating within Tana's empire borders and roughly one-fifth that number stationed abroad. They often work in teams, sometimes they recruit local talent, often under false pretenses, to help them accomplish their missions in foreign lands.

<br/>

### Allies and Enemies.
By their nature, espionage agencies must be cautious in choosing their allies, and the Dark Lanterns is no exception.

* **The emperor.** The Dark Lanterns, serve the emperor of Tana, and he is their greatest advocate and ally. The current emperor Charles III views loyalty as mutual: as long as an agent’s loyalty is irreproachable, Charles III is willing to exercise his considerable power on that agent’s behalf.
* **Duch Valencia Windrin and Duch June Reiter.** As Duch under the emperor's influence, they are obligated to accord full credit to the Dark Lanterns, exercising their power in their favor if necessary.
* **Whipsering Qwir.** As a competiting espionage agency within the empire, the relation with the bardic college are tense, the college questioning the Dark Lanterns motivation, and voicing an opinion against them. The bard college is to thank for the dark reputation of the Dark Lanterns.
* **Foreign Nations.** Every nation knows the Dark Lanterns serve as an espionage force and do their best to track the movements of Dark Lantern agents within their borders. Foreign governments treat Dark Lantern agents with care to avoid sparking an international incident, but they are quick to arrest Dark Lantern agents suspected of wrongdoing.

<br/>

### Dark Lanterns Benefits
You gain the following benefits when your group’s patron is an espionage agency:

* **Assignments.** Your agency might assign you specific tasks at any time. You have wide latitude regarding how you carry out a task, and your assignments can sometimes be very broad and require considerable time to complete.
* **Expense Account.** You have access to an account maintained at the banks. You can use this account to pay your daily living expenses, as well as for purchasing anything you need for completing your missions—equipment, transportation, bribes, and so on. Your normal spending limit is 100 gp per month for each member of your group. If you exceed that, your agency asks you to account for the month’s expenses, and they might require you to pay back the excess if you can’t justify it. You can’t carry over an unused amount from one month to the next, and your access to this account can be cut off at any time if you abuse it or fall out of the agency’s good graces. The agency is aware of every time you access the account and where you are when you do so.
* **Identification.** Your agency provides you with identification papers establishing your true identity, and you also have ready access to false papers and matching travel documents showing different identities, when you need them for a mission. (Any time you enter a foreign nation, it is a good idea for you to do so under a false identity.)
* **Powerful Friends.** An espionage agency, by nature, has a long reach and a lot of power to make things happen behind the scenes. You can call in a favor for a wide range of benefits: A legal case against you might be suddenly dropped. A rival might disappear. A much-needed magic item might be delivered to you. These favors can provide significant short-term benefit, but they can also come with equally significant long-term repercussions—which might lead to entirely new missions.

<br/>

### Types of Espionage
Espionage activities can be classified in three broad categories: counterintelligence, covert action, and intelligence gathering. Your party might focus on one of those areas, or perhaps you’re the team that handles situations that other teams bungle.

___
You started to learn about this network, new inductees looking to make your mark and earn the thrust of the syndicate.

Fences are useful for selling not just illicit goods but also expensive items such as works of art and magic items.

When using the syndicate’s fences, you run no risk of a double-cross or other mishap in finding a buyer, but the syndicate takes 20 percent of the sale price as a finder’s fee.
* **Safe Houses.** The syndicate maintains safe houses or other secret hiding spots across a wide region. Your group knows how to locate these nondescript redoubts and can maintain a poor lifestyle in one for no cost.

The law of the land is your most persistent enemy, but other criminal syndicates challenge you as well—or become your targets.

Holypertuis is the capital of the Empire of Tana, a family succeeding one another for many generations in power. The city is built around a large central spring, often described as sacred and as having healing properties (hence the Holly in the name of the city). In addition, the city is a mainstay of the empire's trade, those with the border town of Boatwright. The city, despite its geographical position not necessarily advantageous for trade, is so important for several reasons. Some resources can only be found in the area, and the city has some things that can be hard to find, portals to the elemental planes of fire, water, air and earth, portals connecting Holypertuis to the major cities in its plans, making the city a prime and accessible location for trading in magical items.

From a military point of view, the city has, of course, an effective means of defence, but because of its role in trade and its international usefulness, few people are hostile.
___
The city is in the form of a concentric circle, with large roads connecting up to the 4 cardinal points where a huge wall protects the inhabitants from outside dangers. There are only 4 openings in this wall, the 4 gates at the end of the avenues these avenues being centered around the huge aqueducts. The first circle, where the spring emanates from, and to which only the nobles have access, is the great central castle, this one surrounded by flourishing gardens gives then place to the rich district and has large squares with important buildings (such as the adventurers guild, or the hall with the elements, building with the immense elementary portals) the further one moves away towards the walls, the poorer the houses become and the less the roads are maintained, the districts directly stuck to the wall being known as the low bottom of the city and the badly frequented district.
___
Patrols around the aqueducts are still frequent, as Holypertuis is the source supplying a large majority of the area above, with the villages around the city flourishing with life thanks to the water supplied to them, and providing a majority of the food consumed by the city.
___
And as you'd expect in such a large city whose main source of income is the trade in magical objects... There's a story that in the rather sophisticated sewage system, there's a hidden side of the city where a large black market would allow us to get what no one could even imagine.

The sewers were built by Akhator Baltazar, a great architect also known for his work in the magical field, he has long studied how to use magic for construction. But this great architect disappeared 70 years ago, after almost finishing the sewers, the legend tells that he would live in this very hidden part.
___
The dungeon, in the centre of the city, contains within its walls most of the nobles and other great names of the prestigious society. In spite of an emperor, more than willing to advance the people, the royal court and the nobles still have many advantages, from tax reduction to additional rights.

The royal family is now composed only of the king and the queen, who are still called emperor and empress in an honorary capacity, but are officially king and queen, and have been for several generations as the whole empire is united. The royal family serves as a figurehead for the small people and makes many of the country's important decisions, the empress having become a wise adviser to the king, and you can hear the drunk sexist in the inn complaining about her role in the politics.
Members of the royal court and more npc of this court can be found here.
___
The Coliseum is a huge place, at the south, where events are daily, and the population come to enjoy the show, there is a bit of everything, from the classic gladiator fighting to justice dueling and dinosaur racing. Most of the events are a bit bloody, but the public loves it, and are willing to pay to see that. Most events are open for candidature, but there is a fee to be able to participate.
___
The guild hall is located not far from Holypertuis Castle and close to most points of interest. The large guild building stands proudly on a public square, with the standards of the various squads floating in the wind. Entering the ground floor is a huge hall teeming with adventurers from all levels, talking about various quests and monsters on the various tables scattered in front of a huge wooden quest board. Further to the right, a staff manages the bar where the adventurers take orders and helps new recruits find their place. Behind this large hall are a few rooms that can accommodate the adventurers at a low cost.
The first floor is administrative, mainly filled with offices, and a lounge to chat with representatives of various faction or even adventurers and quest givers.

In the cellar is the storage of the guild's drinks and equipment.

## Ethereal Plane

“What is the purpose of the Ethereal Plane? The question has plagued scholars for countless generations, but the question helps to frame the discussion around the Ethereal Plane. Its comparison to a great waveless sea is not without merit, with the shallow or border sections touching the Material and Inner Planes while the Deep Ethereal holds undreamt of mysteries and dangers, and in this comparison we find a potential answer. Is the Ethereal Plane the breeding ground of existence itself? Certainly demiplanes spawn in the Deep Ethereal, giving us glimpses to the raw potential contained in those gray depths. Was the Material Plane once a demiplane like the others, adrift in the waveless sea? We may never know for sure, but the Ethereal Plane holds wonders and mysteries like none other.”

<div class="credit">—Lillandri the Moon Mage</div>

</div>

The Ethereal Plane is a realm out of phase with the rest of the multiverse. In this way, it is similar in minor ways to the echo planes (Shadow, Faerie, and Dream), but the Ethereal Plane is more than a mirror of the Material Plane. Where it touches the Material Plane and the rest of the multiverse, in a region known as the Border Ethereal, the gray vapors and swirling mists obscure the natural features of the Material Plane but do not offer substantial differences.
___
Savvy planar travelers view the Ethereal Plane as simply a means to an end, a plane to visit when you want to get somewhere else. In this way, it shares several traits with the Astral Plane, and these two are known as the transitive planes for this exact reason. But the Ethereal Plane holds more than just a mode of planar travel.
___
The Border Ethereal can offer sanctuary to travelers seeking a quick escape from the Material Plane, but other creatures have adapted to use this tactic as well. The most common are ghosts, who exist in both the Border Ethereal and the Material Plane and can “manifest” in one or the other as a means of defense and attack. Ethereal filchers, thought eaters, xill, and all manner of other creatures call the Ethereal Plane home, and those that live off the flesh of living things learn to hunt in the Border Ethereal.
___
Beyond the region of the Border Ethereal, the plane becomes deeper, and here is where it earns its nickname as the “waveless sea.” The Deep Ethereal is a fathomless, endless region of dark gray misty tendrils, and it’s there that the demiplanes of the multiverse reside. What creates them? Who creates them? Powerful wizards and clerics are known to create small demiplanes, but the bigger ones have more mysterious origins. Who created the Nightwalker Pit, the Demiplane of Chains, or the Engulfing Hunger? What sustains them?
___
Other regions in the Deep and Border Ethereal are just as mysterious, such as the Pyramid of the Lost, the Tower of Iron Will, and the ghostly metropolis known as Bleakmore. Travelers that find themselves lost in the waveless sea of the Ethereal Plane can encounter plenty of mysteries and dangers to keep them interested in the fog-shrouded plane.

\columnbreak

### Highlights & Impressions
**Echoes of Life.** Most visitors interact with the Ethereal Plane in its “shallow” end, the Border Ethereal, and here the plane reflects a shadowy, indistinct echo of the adjacent plane. Everything is washed out in shades of gray before dissipating into nothingness at a short distance, but the actions and movements of creatures on the adjacent plane can be viewed while on the Border Ethereal. They appear as wispy, shadowy versions of their original forms, but this strange effect – a stronger echo than the echo planes like the Plane of Shadow – is very disconcerting for travelers at first.
___
**Protomatter.** Beyond the Border Ethereal, the Deep Ethereal is a vast gray realm of possibility. Elemental chunks float in globular chunks known as protomatter, and these eventually combine with other chunks and germinate into demiplanes. Protomatter is a strange substance comprised of all the elements at once – It’s solid, liquid, gas, and flame all at once, constantly morphing and remorphing as it drifts through the endless gray sea
___
**Slow Weightlessness.** Physical form has no direct impact on the Ethereal Plane, and the best way visitors have to describe this sensation is a feeling of weightlessness. Creatures on the plane can move up, down, left, and right through otherwise solid echoes on the adjacent plane, though moving up or down is somewhat more taxing due to the unusual nature of the Ethereal Plane. Gravity extends to the Border Ethereal, however, so unattended objects fall though at a slower rate. Everything moves at a slightly slower pace, as if moving through thick mud.

“The Plane of Faerie, sometimes referred to as the Feywild, is a vibrant echo of the Material Plane, and in this it is similar to the Plane of Shadow. Along with the Plane of Dreams, these echo planes coexist with the Material Plane, highlighting and accenting different aspects, and for the Feywild, life, nature, and its various dangers are pushed to extreme levels. The seasons are varied and static, changing from one to another in stark contrast in varying regions, and the capricious archfey that rule over it all have their own petty squabbles and political discourse. Lost relics and overgrown ruins of ancient primordial elven people litter the Feywild, but travelers should be warned that rarely are these treasures left unprotected.”

</div>

On the other side of a thin planar barrier surrounding the Material Plane sits a place of wonder and beauty, terror and darkness, hope and fear. It is the realm of ancient archfey and powerful elves from times long since passed where the seasons stand frozen at the whim of bickering fey courts. This is the Plane of Faerie, also known as the Feywild, and it is a place of terrible beauty and glittering shadows.
___
Like the Plane of Shadow and the Plane of Dreams, the Plane of Faerie is an echo of the Material Plane, sitting like an overlay over the entire plane. In certain areas known as ley lines the border becomes blurred, and in other regions spontaneous gates and portals open up allowing free travel between the two. Capricious fey creatures, from sprites and pixies to hags and quicklings, populate the realm. Many owe allegiance to one of the faerie courts, including the Summer Court, the Gloaming Court, and the Winter Court, but not all do, and some actively work against the powerful archfey that rule these powerful organizations.

\pagebreakNum

Fey are not the only inhabitants of the Plane of Faerie. Long ago, a race of giants pierced the planar veil and marched a mighty army through with intents to conquer the lush and bountiful land. They were not successful, and for their transgression they were cursed. These fomorians lurk in the darkness and shadows of the Feywild now, striking against all native creatures with as much power as they can muster, and their ruined fortresses still dot the landscape.
___
The Plane of Faerie is a place of natural danger, where the weather can turn deadly with no warning and the beasts of the forest prey on travelers with malice and hunger in their hearts. Time is a strange thing in the Feywild as well, and some travelers that leave find that more or less time has passed since when they left. For immortal fey creatures, this isn’t a problem, but mortal short-lived creatures can find their lives wasting away the instant they leave. This is one of the many reasons travelers to the Plane of Faerie end up staying. There’s also an intoxicating flavor that permeates the plane, and for non-fey it can prove an addicting experience. It’s difficult to describe – the air is thicker, more alive, and all scents and aromas are enhanced a hundred-fold. Beyond this olfactory enhancement, the very land of the Feywild is lush and vibrant, filled with life and beauty, but there’s always a trick in the Plane of Faerie. Sometimes, a verdant forest clearing dappled with pure sunlight turns mortals into gold, as is known to happen in the Golden Glade, while in the vast swamp known as Murkendraw creeping yellow vines obey the commands of the hag covens that fill the region, choking and pulling down travelers.
___
Treasures abound in the Plane of Faerie as well, relics from ancient kingdoms of primordial elves known as eladrin. The Scepter of Starlight, the Diamond Staff, and the Leaves of All Seasons all originated from the Feywild and have found their way across the multiverse at one point or another, yet they always seem to find their way back to the Plane of Faerie.

### Highlights & Impressions

**Vibrant Life.** The Feywild is a plane of vibrant life in all forms. Flowers are full and enormous, the grass is lush, and the air teems with electric energy. Bird sing beautiful melodies from barely hidden branches that fill the air with songs that shift subtly between a chorus of joy to discordant notes of sadness. A gentle breeze blows through at all times, rustling trees and carrying the sweet scent of powerful flowers. Everything in the Plane of Faerie is alive and almost humming with energy.
___
**Striking Colorations.** Everything in the Plane of Faerie is colored with a palette from a mad painter with no singular vision on the canvas. The grass is electric green and shifts to shades of blue and red with the breeze, and a valley filled with flowers contains every color in the rainbow. The colorations of the objects around the Feywild shift with the emotions of nearby travelers, the stronger the emotion the stronger the color variance, so that a person in deep mourning over the loss of a loved one creates a color ripple of blue, black, and violet wherever they go, while the thrilling touch of a romantic interest can shoot rays of red and pink through the surrounding foliage. The unsettling vibrancy of the color to otherwise mundane objects chills travelers from the Material Plane and reminds them that they are in a very different realm.
___
**Dream-like Wonder.** To an outsider, the Feywild is a plane of shimmering beauty as if seen through a thin gauze, and that thin gauze ripples and changes with each breath and blink of the eye. A flower may suddenly grow eyes and wink, while a bird’s song could whisper the words of a long lost loved one before vanishing on the wind. There is a very real sense of wonder that infuses everything on the Plane of Faerie, creating moments that seem pulled directly from a dream.

### Cycle of Time
Time is a strange thing on the Plane of Faerie. The sun does not set if it is risen, and the moon does not wax while it is in the air. Time passes normally for creatures in the Feywild, though it can be difficult to mark its passage considering the unusual and stagnant cycles of day, night, and the seasons. Leaving the Plane of Faerie, however, is when time can catch up to a non-native suddenly.
___
Time behaves differently on the Plane of Faerie than it does on the Material Plane or elsewhere in the multiverse.
___
Some powerful archfey have the ability to reverse this effect, though none do it out of charity. Parties that find great lengths of time have passed may need to deal with one of the archfey courts in order to regain their lost time.

> ##### Fey ancestry and Time Hazard
> Some race of the material plane, such as the elves or gnomes, came back to the material plane after the great cataclysm thanks to the feywild, but what took a centuries on the material plan, might have take thousands of years in the feywild to grow back and numerous enough to try and send some population back to the material plane.

## Shadowfell

“The Plane of Shadow, also referred to as the Shadowfell, is an echo of the Material Plane. It overlaps the known world but it remains separate, and a great gloom and sense of dread holds sway over its gray, shadow-filled landscape. It is the opposite of the Plane of Faerie, and there is strong evidence to support the two echo planes are linked in some ephemeral way. I surmise that the Plane of Shadow is a byproduct of the Negative Energy Plane influencing the Material Plane, and that it represents a decaying of the natural order inherent to all things and places in the multiverse. Certainly the prevalence of necrotic energy and undead horrors in the Shadowfell lends credence to this theory.”

<div class="credit">—Lillandri the Moon Mage</div>

</div>

Gloom, despair, hopelessness, and loss are just some of the words that can be used to describe the feelings that weigh down travelers that enter the Plane of Shadow. It is an echo of the Material Plane, but it holds only a dark reflection filled with darkness and a creeping sense of being watched. Forests hold sinister shadows, mountains loom taller and more ominous, and everywhere the natural order seems twisted and bent towards a darkly malevolent end.
___
The nature of the Plane of Shadow draws evil and undead creatures to it, and this attraction has led many planar scholars to link the realm to the Negative Energy Plane. There certainly seems to be some truth to this connection, and it’s worth noting that the Plane of Faerie – another echo plane, but one filled with vibrant and often violent life – seems just as strongly linked to the Positive Energy Plane. Are these two sides of the Material Plane the result of the Positive and Negative Energy Planes? Or are the Positive and Negative Energy Planes a result of the Shadowfell and Feywild? Debates continue in scholarly circles.
___
From a more conventional standpoint, the Plane of Shadow is a place where fell creatures dwell, and its location on the other “side” of the Material Plane makes its interference much more common than other decidedly evil outer planes, such as the Abyss or the Nine Hells. A pervasive gloom in a forlorn crypt, the shadow cast by a tombstone in the moonlight, or the yawning darkness beneath a creaking gallows all can contain portals to the Plane of Shadow, allowing monstrous creatures to slip between the cracks and wreak havoc.
___
The Shadowfell is also the home to the Domains of Dread, unique and isolated realms locked away from the rest of the plane by insidious Dark Powers. These unknown macabre masters of darkness draw powerful men and women away from the Material Plane at their darkest moment, trapping them and their lands.

\columnbreak

### Highlights & Impressions
**Dark Mirror.** As an echo plane, the Shadowfell is a dark and twisted mirror of the Material Plane. This mirroring is broad and can easily become distorted – a forest of lush trees in the Material Plane may be a gnarled wood of dead branches, or a mountain may hold innumerable caves filled with darkness and chilling winds. Cities on the Plane of Shadow are gloomy places where inky pools gather in otherwise empty streets and sinister alleys.
___
**Perpetual Twilight.** No sun or moon hangs in the sky over the Plane of Shadow. Instead, a perpetual twilight blankets the land in shades of gray and black, bathing everything in monochromatic tones that heighten the sense of dread throughout the entire plane. Time passes here but there’s little to mark its passage, though occasionally a noteworthy event – such as a full moon – may create a disturbing equivalent in the Shadowfell, something most view as a sign of ill portent.

### Monarch of Shadow
THe monarch of shadow is an ancient entity, almost godlike when it come to its power and influence, it manipulate the shadow and soul, his name given due to his abilities. Nourrishing on the soul of those slain in the shadowplain, he cage them, and force them into a now shape, the shape of shadow monsters.
___
THis ability to suck on soul, to siphon the life force of creature is said to be correlated with the power influencing the mind and spirit of those dwelling in this plane. Combined with effect from the negative plane, it sparks madness in the adventurers who dare to enter this plane.
___
And, a monster famous from this plane, is the shadow, and example of the creation of this monarch, let loose as they were not powerful enough for him to bother. His ever growing army composed of the twisted shadow of the soldiers he deem worthy.

## Plane of Air

“Of all the Inner Planes, the Plane of Air is easily the most pleasant. Endless azure skies punctuated by multicolored clouds above and below with absolutely no end in sight – it truly is a sight to behold. Islands of earth and ice float through the air and provide enough stable ground for travelers to put their feet down every once and a while, but the real joy comes in soaring across the boundless blue. And if you can avoid the nosy djinn or the lifethreatening storms of colossal size, all the better.”

<div class="credit">—Astromarchus the Sage</div>

</div>

The Plane of Air is the most hospitable of all the Inner Planes, and because of that sees the most traveler traffic from across the multiverse. All manner of creatures visit, sometimes without even realizing it – perhaps as a result of the increased traffic, more natural portals and vortexes exist to the Plane of Air than almost any other plane. Flying creatures of all variety seek out the endless azure skies of this realm, but that doesn’t mean it’s without its dangers.
___
Navigating the plane requires the power of flight, but contrary to most rumors falling is not really a problem. Where is there to fall to? If a creature or object in flight loses its ability to fly while in the air, it simply hovers or is picked up by one of the strong wind gusts that permeate the never-ending sky. Larger objects, such as the various earth motes that dot the azure landscape or even a sailing ship, generate their own gravity, but escaping those bounds can be deceptively easy. Being stranded and caught in one of the dangerous storms that pepper the plane in regular intervals is the real danger.
___
Because of its relative safeness, the Plane of Air is home to a large variety of creatures. Many Material Plane natives with the ability to fly can be found around, but the true masters of the realm are the djinn. They keep magnificent castles built upon solid clouds, and most can be depended upon to do the right thing when pressed – but not all. Navigating the Labyrinth Winds without a guide can be frustrating for travelers, but only by doing so can such wondrous sites be visited, such as the cloud city of Calypso, the Citadel of Ice and Steel that serves as the home to the Great Caliph of the Djinn, the realm of Aaqa and its aarakocra guardians, the massive Storm of Chaos, or the mysterious Borealis Radiance.

### Aaqa
Mainly inhabited by Aarakocra, this important city of the plane of air stand high on an enormous flying island, a chunk of land coming from the plane of earth. The city is very industrial, electricity ionize the air around its core, as it is powered by a living storm. Some say it is an elder elemental. This energy inducing core allow for a city of wander, divided in multiple districts, from the docks, where flying ship bring in and out numerous goods, to the habitation part closer to the core.
___
Thanks to its structure, the city is quite easy to access, and multiple airship make back and forth trip to bring traveler lacking flying speed to this island from other places. The center of the city vibrant and active. Such as inn cooking flying insects, which is said to be extremely tasty, or the shops providing numerous trinket.

\columnbreak

### Highlights & Impressions
**Never-Ending Sky.** The most obvious and pertinent feature of the Plane of Air is its lack of ground and sun. The brilliant azure sky is everywhere at all times, and unimpeded a visitor could see for miles and miles. Multicolored clouds drift through the space, creating a brilliant prismatic panoramic view in some views, but the absence of a ground or ceiling is disorientating for nonnatives.
___
**Constant Wind.** Wind constantly blows in all directions across the Plane of Air, creating updrafts and downdrafts within the blink of an eye. It is omnipresent, and sometimes its howling can make conversations difficult. Skyship sailors have learned to “feel” different breezes differently, so that a particularly experienced sailor can tell when the wind is going to shift directions before it does. Or so they claim, at least.
___
**Everything Flies.** In order to survive on the Plane of Air, a creature has to possess the ability to fly. The native species of the plane include numerous birds of all kinds, along with insects and winged beasts, but flying through the region are other unusual creatures. Schools of winged fish maneuver through the Labyrinth Winds, and some cloudstone islands hold tribes of winged apes.

“The Underdark? A child’s toybox compared to the twisting labyrinths, caves, passages, and wonders of the Plane of Earth. In the Underdark, there’s an innate sense of the world above that colors the experiences of travelers and inhabitants, but this does not exist on the Plane of Earth. It is suffocation and brutality defined and stands as one of the least hospitable of the Inner Planes. Still, the realm is ripe with treasures and secrets buried beneath the rock and stone.”

<div class="credit">—Astromarchus the Sage</div>

</div>

## Plane of Earth

Earth is a fundamental component of the multiverse and perhaps the most visible to most inhabitants of the Material Planes. Continents, islands, mountains, hills – these are all concrete examples of this ubiquitous element across the realms, and it shows up in all of the other Inner Planes as well in one form or another. And the root for all that rock and dirt is the Plane of Earth.
___
Much of this plane is solid mass making it difficult for non-native creatures to move around or even breathe. However, limitless tunnels, passages, and caves wind their way through the stony realm, the result of both incursions from other Inner Planes and determined digging efforts by the native creatures. The dao, genies of the earth, are the cruelest of slave drivers and constantly seek out veins of rich minerals and ore to adorn their fabulous abodes.
___
Getting lost in the Plane of Earth is perhaps the greatest threat to travelers beyond a collapsing tunnel or marauding beast as there is no clear indication of any cardinal direction. Tunnels wind up and down, cross between each other, and cut into massive caves with no discernable pattern or thought. For travelers willing to risk the journey, however, great treasures and wonders can be found, whether it’s the prize opal Koh Nur in the center of the dao’s Sevenfold Mazework or searching the chaotic Tunnels of Madness for the Heart of All Mountains or trying to escape the infamous Salt Dungeons of the Great Khan.

### Highlights & Impressions

**Cave After Cave.** The Plane of Earth is a titanic sprawling complex of tunnels and caves created both from natural effects and deliberate hands. The caves are filled with stalactites and stalagmites, though water is a rare sight – what then creates these natural formations? No one knows the answers for sure, and most simply believe they rise and fall from the will of the plane itself. Any cave feature in the Material Plane can be found on the Plane of Earth even if it has no logical explanation.
___
**Strange Sounds.** Sound travels strangely in the endless underground of the Plane of Earth. Echoes bounce around expansive natural caves, distorting wildly before traveling down tunnels miles away from their original source. Drips, drops, cracks, groans, crashes, collapses, and more all can be heard at times, some close by while others far away.
___
**Stagnant Air.** The incredible weight of limitless rock and stone stifles the very air. Earth and air are diametrically opposed elements, and perhaps because of this the breathable air in the Plane of Air is stale and stagnant at most times. It’s usually not hostile enough to cause problems but it’s definitely something travelers notice immediately upon arrival. Even in the largest caves, such as the Great Dismal Delve, the air carries a foul taste noticeable to outsiders.

## Plane of Fire

“The very concept of fire, one of the most fundamental elements of existence, is born and reborn in a never-ending cycle on the Plane of Fire. It is a landscape of ashen black sand and grit, pitted and gutted by gouts of flame and the burning eye of the overhead sun, with an impossibly great sea of heaving conflagration, dotted by islands and continents of scorched rock burnt black. Ash and smoke fill the air, and though that raging semblance of a sun hangs in the sky, shadows and darkness permeate the landscape. It is a realm hostile to life, yet life thrives here, and dies, and is reborn again, just as a flame can die and reignite.”

<div class="credit">—Astromarchus the Sage</div>

</div>

The Inner Planes are comprised of the universal building blocks of existence - earth, air, water, and fire. There is so much more to these planes of existence than just their dominant trait, and each holds a wealth of treasure, danger, and excitement just waiting to be discovered. And, for the unwary, death, which the Plane of Fire carries in abundance.
___
Elemental monsters live and die in the scorched wilderness of the Plane of Fire, the most common of which are the elementals themselves. These living columns of flame are simple animals of the plane with lowintelligence, though some of the larger ones do exhibit greater semblances of thought that propels them further towards sentient beings.
___
At the top of the elemental chain are the Elemental Lords of Fire. Massive, powerful, and ancient, there are only a handful of known lords but they each command legions and move with deliberate purpose and thought. Imix is the most well-known, largely for the cults that have spread across the multiverse worshipping the primal power of destruction, but the others are just as formidable. Though ever present, the threats are still not enough to stop the curious and brave from seeking the Eye of Murzak, the Crimson Shield of the Ashen Palm, or plundering the storied depths of the Obsidian Tower, the Everburning Forest, or the Treasure Vaults of the Fire Giant God.

Only ender elemental are able to compete in power with the various elemental lord, The great elder phoenix roaming in the plane of fire, is said to be an equal to the elemental lord.

### City of Brass
The fabled City of Brass, home to the greedy efreet, offers shelter within its bazaars and marketplaces from the constant dangers of the land. However, foolish travelers are just as likely to end up with a knife in their back from some scheming merchant in the city’s streets as they are to burn to death in the scorching heat of the wilderness.
___
The city of brass, is a powerfull trading hub of the elemental plane of fire, and a portal, connecting it directly to Holypertuis in the material plane, make for important economic route to be created between those two place. The elemental plane of fire, creating powerful magic item, infusing them with the power inherent to the plane.
___
THe city is also know for another kind of trade; slaves. Efreet are cruel genie, and enslave the weaker, forcing them to work for their ever growing need of wealth. They are similar to humans in this aspect, probably one of the reason why they are able to trade with Tana's empire so much.

\columnbreak

### Highlights & Impressions

**Hazy Air.** The incredible heat generated by the Plane of Fire distorts vision, especially in the larger wilderness regions of the Cinder Wastes and the Sea of Fire. Objects become warped, elongated, or even elastic as the heat ripples just barely visible in the air. Groups traveling overland across the Cinder Wastes may see mirages appear as well, which exist as reflections of the crimson sky on the incredible temperature of the air. Perhaps some monsters in the wilderness have learned to use this effect to their advantage.
___
**Always Thirsty.** The Plane of Fire attacks water directly, evaporating it at a quicker rate than one would normally expect. Non-native creatures find themselves thirsty almost immediately as their mouths dry up and their skin becomes dry and flaky. This effect is just cosmetic and doesn’t impact the amount of water they must consume while traveling, but creatures that travel to the Plane of Fire that naturally live underwater – such as tritons and sea elves – immediately feel the effect all over their bodies.
___
**Constant Heat.** It stands to reason that the plane comprised entirely of the element of fire would be hot, but the heat on the Plane of Fire takes many shapes that some find surprising. Burnberries, for example, are not hot to the touch but are incredibly spicy in flavor, while scorch onions are an angry red color and actually get searing hot the longer a person holds them. Every natural element of the Plane of Fire possesses a level of heat nearly unheard of anywhere else in the multiverse.

“The greatest ocean in all the Material Planes is but a drop of water compared to the fathomless depths of the Plane of Water. I believe that it is the source of all water in the multiverse, that at some point every raindrop and every stream began in this watery paradise. But, just like any body of water, the real interesting things are located below the surface, where fantastic treasures and creatures swim in an aquatic wonderland that is both calming and terrifying at the same time.”

<div class="credit">—Astromarchus the Sage</div>

</div>

## Plane of Water

shadowed darkness, and wondrous life, all combined into one of the most recognizable elements across the multiverse. Life flourishes in this plane, which many travelers can relate to on some level – after all, most Material Plane worlds have seas and oceans, so it’s too hard to imagine a vast, endless version of it.
___
But the Plane of Water holds so much more, and it is one of the most hospitable of the Inner Planes to natural life (second only to the Plane of Air). With a little magic, travelers can dive into the Sea of Worlds and seek out the wonders and treasures of the Great Coral Forest, the wrecks of lost ships in the Graveyard of Sails, the reckless and arrogant halls of the marid genies in the Citadel of Ten Thousand Pearls, or even trade goods and services under the icy dome of the City of Glass. Deeper still lies dangerous lairs of cold, unyielding monsters, such as the Fathomless Caves and the Trench of Death.
___
Sahuagin, marid genies, kuo-toa, merrow, and all manner of other creatures occupy the Plane of Water, and some have built cities and bases beneath the waves. And while most of the planar activity is underwater, contrary to most beliefs, the Plane of Water has a surface, and this surface is broken by several islands. The most famous of these islands is the Isle of Dread, surrounded by a fierce storm that extends to many Material Planes, which has the capability to draw in ships and strand them. The island itself is a dangerous, jungle-filled wilderness with great dinosaurs competing for food.
___
The treasures and sites of the Plane of Water are there for travelers willing to brave the monsters and dangers of an endless sea of unrelenting change.

### Highlights & Impressions

**Water, Water Everywhere.** Below the surface of the Sea of Worlds, the Plane of Water is a vast endless ocean suffused with its own light. The brilliant azure waters are clear and pure unless tainted by some force, but there is a discernable “up” and “down” in the ocean – above the waters are lighter, and below the waters are darker. Waterbreathing creatures from other planes immediately notice the clean quality of the Plane of Water as well.
___
**Stream of Bubbles.** Bubbles of endless sizes rise up constantly from the depths of the Plane of Water, the result of any number of thousands of possibilities. These harmless effects ebb and flow to the events that have happened elsewhere on the plane, and many native creatures have legends about them. Locathah believe them to be moments of history from somewhere deeper below rising to greet the surface, while sea elves view them as warning signs.
___
**Pull of the Current.** The currents on the Plane of Water constantly pull and tug invisibly at beings in the water. They are less whimsical than the winds on the Plane of Air and more steady, though they can still shift and turn with surprising speed. Following a current is the fastest way to travel underwater, but most predators realize this as well.

## Border Elemental Planes

“Imagine for a moment that the four Elemental Planes of the multiverse form a sphere, with each plane rolling into one another. This is an oversimplification of course, but it helps to illustrate the nature of the border elemental planes, or paraelemental planes as they’re referred to in older texts. Where each plane “touches” another, a distinct realm is created. It’s worth noting that this behavior is quite unique in the multiverse – there are no other similar border planes known to exist anywhere! Each of these border elemental planes holds its own dangerous properties and creatures, but for the most part these planes are not as expansive or as settled as the core four. Exploration is not recommended for the weak of body or will.”

<div class="credit">—Astromarchus the Sage</div>

</div>

Wild and unruly, the border regions between the Elemental Planes create distinct realms that act as a hybrid between the neighboring regions. Where Air and Water meet, the Plane of Ice is created; the border of Fire and Earth creates the Plane of Magma; the meeting of Earth and Water results in the Plane of Ooze; and the combination of Air and Fire births the Plane of Ash. These realms are smaller in scale than the core four, yet remain expansive nonetheless – they are still each larger than most Material Plane worlds!
___
Some planar scholars say that the Border Elemental Planes are relatively new in the multiverse, which is why they don’t have dominant species of genies. Others say that the constantly shifting nature of the Elemental Planes keeps these border regions from settling, resulting in regular patterns of activity that is unsuited to the formation or continuation of intelligent species. Certainly there are native creatures in these planes, but they tend toward the animalistic in nature rather than intelligently civilized, though certain exceptions exist (mephits, for example, but they generally lack the discipline to craft lasting legacies).
___
It has been theorized that the core energy types – fire, acid, cold, and lightning – are birthed from the Border Elemental Planes and not from their core Elemental Plane counterparts. Like many things in planar lore, the truth is likely never to be known and the facts remain debatable in scholarly circles. For example, the cold energy type certainly makes sense to originate from the Plane of Ice, and it’s not too far of a leap to connect acid to the Plane of Ooze. But how is fire a byproduct of the Plane of Magma? And though lightning is common on the Plane of Ash, it is not what most consider a dominant trait of the plane. Debates continue.
___
The Border Elemental Planes still contain enough adventure potential to lure travelers and bands of heroes to its inhospitable lands, though. Whether searching for the lost Halls of Blazeheart in the Plane of Magma, running from the frozen terrors in the City of the Elder Things on the Plane of Ice, hunting for the secrets of the Slime Lord Tombs in the Plane of Ooze, or picking through debris across the Battlefields of Smoke on the Plane of Ash, excitement and treasures abound for those brave enough to seek them out.

### Highlights & Impressions

**Raging Elements.** The four Border Elemental Planes sit at the crossroads of the Inner Planes, and their very existence is the result of powerful elemental forces clashing on an almost inconceivable scale. The individual elements of each Border Elemental Plane are constant presences, from the titanic waves slamming into the icebergs on the Plane of Ice to the fiery tornadoes whipped up on the Plane of Ash.

\columnbreak

**Constant Change.** Nothing is static in the Border Elemental Planes. Even the Plane of Ice, which most picture as simply frozen in place, is a place of constant and never-ending change, from water to ice and back to water again. Mud bubbles and flows on the Plane of Ooze, roiling lava eats away at porous earthen tunnels on the Plane of Magma, and billowing choking clouds fill the skies of the Plane of Ash. Everything is in motion on these planes, far more than the Inner Planes.
___
**Strange and Wild.** The awe-inspiring and raw elemental forces that create the Border Elemental Planes find a way to surprise travelers in new and strange ways. Whether it’s a brilliant multi-colored icicle forest on the Plane of Ice, a towering mountain of sludge on the Plane of Ooze, sticky lava that clings to the ceiling of a vast cavern in the Plane of Magma, or twinkling shards of obsidian dancing in a firestorm on the Plane of Ash, there’s always something amazing to see here. Some of it may only last a moment and then be gone.

### Crossing the Border
Crossing the border from a plane to another is technicaly just as simple as making a step, but the brutal conditions, the raging element, and the equipment needed to survive into a plane or another make it much harder to make that leap of faith.
___
Experienced sailor and guide charge enormous amount of gold for a safe passage. The price ranging from 100 gp all the way to 2,000 gp per passangers. This price is due to the risk of such trip. Any of those back and forth could be the end of their career, their ship, or other vehicle, crashing in the elemental plane of ice, as they desperatly attempt to save their life, using their scroll of "Word of Recall".
___
If you through those were expensive, few adventurous captain propose service, taking you to other inner plane, or echo of the material plane such as the Feywild or Shadowfell. Their ship, equiped with a magic energy core, is based on a concept similar to an amulet of planes. Sailing to the edge of the elemental plane they're in, the magic core pulse, the ship flickering between the ethereal plane and between the elemental plane faster and faster. Suddenly as the flickering continue, the landscape change, the ship now blicking between the echo of the material plane and the ethereal plane. After some manoeuvering, the ship can stabilize in its destination.

\columnbreak

This kind of travel is very challenging, recquiring an expertise far beyond most sailor reach to maneuver the vehicle correctly as it blink. But once successful, you're in another plane. Such ship are also the target of fly spell, or rather modyfied version of it, to be able to get out of the new plane. But the conception of those rare ship is incredibly expensive, justifying the prices, starting at 5,000 gp per passanger
___
But, like it is possible to step from an elemental plane to another. It is also possible to go from the the Elemental plane to the material plane, or its echo. The shadowfell is easily accessed through the plane of air, crashing down in the dark reflection of the world. When on the other hand, the feywild is easily accessed through the plane of earth, digging up to find the verdant reflection of the feywild.

## The Orrin Civilization (Ancient Civilization)
### An advanced civilization
Despite the great cataclysm, traces still exist of an ancient civilization, called "Orrin". All traces of this civilization date from before the great cataclysm, and we can thus estimate that it was there before this one. From further research we quickly learn that they are even the cause of this cataclysm.
___
These traces are mainly composed of ancient ruins, buried, trapped and difficult to access, very few of these ruins have been explored, and texts dealing with the subject are rare because of the obvious lack of information.

The oral traditions of certain cultures have allowed historians to learn more, but unfortunately these sources cannot be considered reliable, whether it be the fabrications of the dwarves, or the potential lies of the Yuan-ti.
___
Nevertheless, it is sure that the Orrin civilization was very advanced, whether from a magical or scientific point of view, for example, skeletons of what could be considered warforged were found in one of the few explored ruins.

Due to this incredible mastery of magic of this ancient civilization, some tend to believe that he mastered perhaps spells of new 10 or more, nevertheless, this theory is not the subject of a consensus among the scientific community.
___
Many spells used today, and constituting the solid bases of the most common magics, have been reconstructed from extracts found in excavation sites, the walls covered with runes explaining the handling of the weave.

Similarly, some monstrosities that now populate the land are artificial creations (notably the manticores). We think that these creations were experiments of the Orrin, freed after the cataclysm, they became wild, reproduced and constituted new species.

### Draconic Influence
This civilization lived in a very different time than ours, before dragons were feared and hated as they are today. On the contrary, dragons were full-fledged members of this civilization, and often important ones, ruling cities and kingdoms.
___
Humanoids worshipped dragons, these absolutely powerful beings, offering them protection and knowledge in exchange for their worship, and in exchange for their offerings, a mutually beneficial relationship was in place between the dragon subspecies that enjoyed human contact, and the humanoids that worshipped them.
___
In the present day, when these majestic creatures are extinct, it is difficult to imagine a time when dragons were common, roaming the skies freely. Some subspecies were of course more hostile to humanoids, but lived in more isolated places, avoiding conflict.

In addition, it is important to note that dragons are immortal creatures and have a very slow growth. Thus, dragons at that time were not all as ancient and powerful as today, and therefore not as gigantic.

### Great Cataclysm
Nevertheless, it is obvious that this civilization, succumbed to its greed, in a quest for ever-increasing power, something must have caused their downfall, much more than just their deaths, it created a cataclysm such as this one to entirely change the face of this world for the millennia to come.
___
Theories as to the exact experience that caused their demise are numerous.

Was it an attempt to transform a wizard into a celestial power?

Or perhaps the creation of a philosopher's stone, having consumed the souls of living beings for its creation?
___
Whatever the exact experiment, it caused the destruction of the world as it existed. Humanoids no longer ruled the land, in fact, few mortal races survived, only vile creatures, strong enough to resist, could survive, the land becoming wilder and more hostile than ever.
___
In the midst of all these monsters of power, 2 species have managed to pull their weight. Having survived the cataclysm, the dragons and giants began to become the new rulers of these lands.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.8 | Toriel's Lore</div>

## Dragon's Era
### Dragon and Giant dominion
Thus, the era of the dragons began, despite this name, the giants were also an important part of the governor of Toriel, but the impact and power of the dragons pushed the generations to name this era after them.
___
After the great cataclysm, as the lands of this world returned to a more primal state, the two species became the natural leaders. Although other monsters of immeasurable power existed, the dragons and giants were the most numerous, at least in comparison, and they were also the ones with the most penchant for dominating the land.
___
Dragons and giants were already inhabitants of these worlds during the era of ancient civilization. Giants shared the land with humanoids, and dragons, revered by many, were often pillars of civilizations and cities.
___
It is precisely these conditions that pushed them to conquer the lands after the disappearance of the humanoids. Whether it is the dragons, too used to dominate the inferior races, or the giants rich of new territories.
___
For hundreds of years, this situation remained as it was, conflicts of this kind provoked some fights between dragons and giants, but nothing too important, nevertheless, the tension was growing.

The few humanoid tribes in the territory of these creatures who had not been forced into a tyrannical regime, whether it was the dragons looking for subjects to worship and serve them, or the giants playing with them, often using the tribes they came across as future food.
___
Nevertheless, each year that passed, the dragons were more avaricious of wealth, that it is economic, spiritual or cultural (gold, work of art, knowledge), of this fact, they exerted a strong pressure on the giants, in the hope to obtain more of these treasures which they sought.

On their side, the giants, happy to freely walk the vast lands, always wanted more territories, pushing them to enter the domains under the influence of dragons.
___
This phenomenon became worse and worse, adding to the already existing tensions, until a war broke out.

A squadron of storm giants marched into the mountains, tracking down a monster with a very particular taste, a future meal of choice for these soldiers. Their tracks led them to the cave of a white dragon, which, not appreciating the intrusion, killed them all, in its rage, it descended the mountain, hovering until the village of the giants, its menacing shadows falling on the village. He started a real massacre, wiping the village off the map.

The giants heard about the massacre, and sent more troops on a punitive expedition, killing the snow-colored dragon in his sleep.

The dragons in turn heard of the events, and each began the systematic slaughter of the giant villages near their territories, and of course the giants responded, and it quickly became an all-out war.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.8 | Toriel's Lore</div>

\pagebreakNum

### The war
The giants were organized, with the village leaders quickly organizing themselves into commanders, and a hierarchy was established within the giants according to their roles in each tribe (this hierarchy is separate from, and in addition to, the hierarchy between the different giant races).

The representatives of each sub-race of giant met to make decisions, trying to find the best strategies to fight these terrible enemies.
___
The dragons were more independent from each other, acting on their own, but as the years of war went by, they organized themselves, coordinated their attacks, and countered the tactics of the giants.
___
Knowing that they lacked strength, they relied on a varied arsenal, using many siege engines, and ranged weapons against flying threats, all of which were equipped with mace, swords and other tools for killing in close combat.
___
The dragons, well aware of their advantages in the air, did their best to stay there, having to fight only the giant clouds, possessing spells that allowed them to fly.
___
Heavy armor protected the giants from some of the effects of the dragons' devastating breath, moving in formation so that they could raise their shields against the coming attacks, the new generations being trained in the art of war from a young age.

> ##### Dragon's armor
> A single instance of draconic armor was found in the frozen kingdom. The leftover pieces of an impressive size, were made to fit the dragon shape, but only small portion of the full armor where found.
>
> Said armor, made of adamantine, would be pricelss if it was found in its entierty, and some adventurers still look for the missing parts to this day.

\columnbreak

As the battles progressed, new ways of killing were discovered, the dragonite created during the most terrible battles could be used as an explosive against the scaled beasts, the magic of the giants would try to ground them, or many giants would try to hurt them.
___
Giant troops were made up of large numbers of individuals, as there was strength in numbers, especially when faced with the devastating powers of dragons.
___
Each sub-species of giant had its own particularities, affinities with magic, and its own abilities, and the specializations of each troop depended greatly on this. Nevertheless, these troops were often made up of giants of different origins in order to be able to counter the dragons more effectively.

> ##### Distinctive Sign
> The giants used to have a symbol on their armor, showing that they belonged to a particular village. Villages that could not forge armor often had tabards to wear over it instead.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.8 | Toriel's Lore</div>

\pagebreakNum

The dragons were similar in this respect, with each dragon subspecies having its own particularities and abilities. However, it was very rare to see dragons in groups, as the power of one dragon was often more than enough to make a sizeable enemy to giant armies.
___
The battlefields, initially located on the borders between giant and dragon territories, quickly spread to the four corners of the globe, with dragons covering huge spaces quickly, and giants being scattered everywhere. Making many places the theater of war horror.
___
Communication between the two sides was possible, and attempts at peace did exist, missives brought to the dragons to arrange a discussion were delivered, and sometimes accepted. Unfortunately, neither race was willing to give anything up to the other, and so the war continued.
___
The giants, in the course of many battles, used many tricks and other tactics to try to gain any advantage against the dragons. However, if these tactics failed, it usually meant the death of the entire squad.
___
Dragons also used traps and other tactics to make it easier for themselves to get away, especially since such a plan, even if it failed, was much less likely to result in death for the dragon.
___
Prisoners were not the most common thing, on both sides, a victory usually meant the total slaughter of the enemy forces. The rare prisoners were usually used as slaves.

\columnbreak

The ranks within the giants were formed very quickly out of necessity, and the relationships between the different ranks of the giant army could be conflicting, but the new officers were given the position not because of the luck of being a village chief, or anything else before the war, but because of their abilities, and their prowess in battle.
___
The hierarchy among the dragons was much simpler, almost rudimentary. The more senior a dragon was, the more authority he had, and dragon society has always worked that way, and continued to do so during the war.
___
The war although total, and forcing the majority of the population of both races to fight, was not necessarily appreciated by all, some rare dragons, or giants, did not appreciate the impact of this war on the Toriel, or on either race. But these differing opinions were a minority.
___
The death of each dragon was a significant event, the draconic population was very limited, and as the war dragged on, each side was coming to an end.

The giants, despite their best efforts, could not win, and were pushed to the far north, forced to isolate themselves on an island, now called Giant Island. The dragons, almost being, enjoyed a well-deserved rest, meditating on the atrocities committed during this war.
___
This finally gave the humanoid tribe the opportunity to flourish, and to recolonize this world, giving way to the modern age.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.8 | Toriel's Lore</div>

\pagebreakNum

## Modern Age
### Common Language
The common language is a mix of various other language, from human slang, to elven poetry and some draconic curse. It is rather fluid, and easy to pronouce for dragon and man alike. Due to the various race thar originated it, le language do keep some rather gluttural sound for some expression, mainly curses. Any sound can have two tone, making for varied meaning with word that may sound similar to strangers.
___
While not the most simple, the language evolution made it the most popular over the year, taking on the name of common language. Originating in tana's empire, the language was formed after the great reunion, when the conflict stopped, the people of the empire had to find way to talk with each other. The humans, adaptative as they are, and short lived, took a few generation to adapt, but with this adaptation, this language, mixing the root of the various culture in the empire, appeared.
___
Tana's empire been a trading and economic influence over the world, this language slowly spread, it is far from been yet the common language everywhere despite the name. the secluded dwarves speaking very few word of common for example, or the warrior tribe of the green earth having only basic notion of common.
___
The writting of common is much more formal, most folk unable to read or write anyway, the grammar, and orthographe was created academicly, and therefore is more formal and follow strict set of rules.
___
The common tongue keep on evolving, especially as it spread, it grow, adding new vocabulary to its dictionnary, borrowed from the various group speaking it.
___
The regional languages still exist, except maybe for the humans, taking on variation of common, most races kept their tradition mostly in their specific language.

> ##### Common in Politics
> Due to the nature of politic to exchange with other country, it became normal to use common for politics, even for local affair. And it is badly perceived to not use common in this field of operation.

The language, even if widespread, is mainly know oraly. Very few peasant know how to write and read, as the education necessary to know those is too expensive for them. Nevertheless, the great nation of Toriel do keep written record of their history, especially since the great cataclysm wipped most of their knowledge of the past, they know to keep written traces of important event.

## Science
#
Science, magic, and religion are interconnected in Toriel, The world so influence by the ever-present magic, everything is, more or less loosely, connected to it.
What science do, is indirectly with the use of magic, the gods impact the world with their power, power which are magical in their very nature. Of course, those are different kinds of magic, and many do not even call it magic, but as they are influenced by the weave, it can be considered as such.
___
If magic was considered a science, it would certainly be the most practiced of them all. The study of the various scientific domains are often made in relation with studies of magical effect, and as such, most scholars are some kind of spellcaster, and those research are often made under the influence of the Academy of magic. The information gathered by those research, are compiled in books, stored in the library of the various school, spreading the information is relatively quick thanks to the use of sending stone and similar magic. The finance for such research are given by the academy (or sometimes by the state in the Lightfoot Land). This wealth gained thanks to the incredible inscription fee.

</div>

> ##### Science in Tana’s Empire
> Scientist, will not persecuted, are looked over by the church, which makes sure they do not cross any boundary with their research.

<br/>

### Chemistry
In the world of Toriel there are 5 elements, Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Weave. This fifth element is the fabric of magic, not fully understood, yet, it is known to be the vector of any spell, of god’s influence, and many technologies. Different in nature, it ain’t material, you cannot see it, touch it or interact with it except with the use of magic.
___
**Dragonite.** There are many wonders and matters with magical properties over the world. A good example of which is dragonite, and glowing dragonite. Found on ancient battlefields from the War between the giants and dragons, this rock is the product of extended exposure to the dragon power, and to the dragon breath. The glowing dragonite variety is highly explosive, in a blast of energy unleashed all the power accumulated when it was created. The Dragonite, older, had time to stabilize and make for a formidably strong matter.

As strong as the dragonite is, it is brutal and hard to work with. More often serving for shield or structure like reinforcing a ship mat than for armors.
___
**Adamantine.** A matter, far easier to work with than dragonite, and even stronger is adamantine. Only found In dwarven mines, it is hard to get hands onto it but make for incredible armor, shield, and weapon that can withstand the strongest hit and go through the best of magical protection.
___
**Mithral.** Looking for something lighter? Mithral is as strong as steel yet as light as fabric, far more common than adamantine, it is not something any mine can produce and is still quite expensive.
___
**Crystal.** Crystal, coming from the so-called crystal lake, catalyze the weave, making for formidable ingredient and component for magic items or spells, Harvested only in the crystal lake, they are something multiple nation fight for, and therefore, the price for this component tends to be quite high.
___
**Moonstone.** Moonstones are gem-like rock, graced by the gods, and often used as material components for spells, essentially abjuration spell. They are mainly harvested in mountains up north, in snowy regions.
___
**Meteorite-Ore.** Sometimes, a chunk of spaces fall onto the material plane, their provenance unsure, those material tend to have special properties, and as such, have been used. Meteorite Ore is a general name for most ore and minerals gathered on a meteorite. Often used to reinforce steel swords, it makes for lighter, yet stronger swords.
___
**Deep Lead or Dimeritium.** Deep Lead, also called dimeritium is a special metal which suppresses magical power. It was stated that being shackled causes unpleasant side-effects for the mages.

Three quarters of all dimeritium is produced in the northern Frozen kingdom
___
**Shadow Steel.** Shadow Steel is said to require souls to be produced. According to rumours, the souls are torn into pieces using dark spells and transformed into a raw spiritual essence of pain, which takes a pitch-black sheen reflecting no light. Weapons made from it cannot be resisted by conventional metals. They cut through the spiritual essence of living flesh, discharging excruciating pain into the victim. The rare survivors of these weapons report levels of pain that can render a person inert for hours.
___
Despite all those fabulous matters, most equipment and build are made with far more common material, mainly due to the cost of such material.
___
But chemistry tackle many other subjects, and scientist, many of them are wizard, still work to understand the universe, concept such as void do not exist, everything is believed to have at least the weave wandering around. Light ain’t a particle, nor a wave, but is seen as a possible state of the weave, and many other physic and chemical problems are explained thanks to it.

<div class='footnote'> Ch. 9 | Science and Magic </div>

\pagebreakNum

### Medicine
Doctor, and healer alike are rare and scattered, often seen as scammer, most of the actual healer are acolyte, and member of a church, as they are entrusted to use spells of the school of necromancy for this purpose only.
___
Providing attentive care to the wounded, in secluded areas, it is common to see herbalists, shaman, and druid take on the role of local healer. This generally constitutes the majority of their activity, even if those using spells (all except herbalist) tend to also receive various more mundane requests.
___
Most of those healers do not have a very deep knowledge of anatomy, relying mostly on their magic, or their knowledge of herbs to cure the disease. Most of those knowledgeable about the anatomy of a creature, tend to not be interested in healing them, but in opening them.
___
As for any serious wound necessitating heavy operation, only a powerful spellcaster can save someone from this tragic fate, and it is rare to see something like this happening. Cleric and Druid with those kinds of power are rare, and would generally ask for pricy compensation.
___
Disease most often strike regions that lack major city, with powerful spellcaster to eradicate them, and spread from those starting point. The origin from those regions make for a much slower spreading rate, at least at the beginning. This comportment is due to the relative accessibility to disease-curing magic. Tho, a few cases of highly contagious, magic-resistant diseases appeared over the centuries.

> ##### Doctors in the Lightfoot Land
> Most healers in lightfoot land are acolyte, but doctors are becoming more popular, as an alternative to classic spells, and are quickly spreading, those crafting various healing potion slowly becoming what people refer to as plague alchemist.

\columnbreak

### Biology
The most important, and usually studied subject of biology is life, its origin, its creation. Even nations, such as the lightfoot land, not necessarily focused on religion, agree to say life is of celestial origin.
___
The ability of some spellcaster, or the weave to spark life in golems, warforged, and others is still something scientific disagree on the exact origin, is the weave a celestial creation, and therefore, those birth would also be of celestial origin or was the weave prior to the gods, but their influence on this world give this element the ability to create life? To this day, no one knows how to answer.

Emilis Emka, this young halfling scientist was said to be crazier than a gnome, for years her various research were unsuccessful, yet recently she did it.

<br/>

With the help of adventurers, she managed to create life from scratch, and without casting a single spell.

<br/>

This is terrifying.

## Magic
#
The weave is the fifth element, and one constituting everything in Toriel, it is the element thanks to which magic exists. When a spellcaster extends its wand and whispers an incantation, he bends and disturbs the flow of the weave to create a magical effect.
___
As an ever-present element of this world, it influences everything, slowly infusing it with magic. Nature itself is infused with this power, this relation is neither good nor bad, it just is. The flora and creatures evolving with these influences, growing sometimes stronger, sometimes more intelligent, sometimes with magic ability, the effects are many.
___
Man discovered magic firstly thanks to inherent magic ability, sorcerer, and the like. Those people, gifted with a particular ability to manipulate the weave at birth were the first spellcaster. Soon, understanding this kind of power would be useful, they were studied, used. Thankfully, even if the ability was inherent to some, it was possible to learn to master the weave.
___
Elves, humans, and other races alike had similar learning process for this and developed different kinds of magic. A well-known example is the elven high magic.
___
Magic in the world of Toriel is incredibly powerful, the weave as the ability to create life. The ability to create golem and semi-living creatures alike was well known, but warforged, fully sentient, and independent been, are also magical creations.
___
Due to its presence everywhere, magic is tied to all domains, including Science and Religion.  Gods influence the words thanks to the weave, and most technological creation work, at least partially, thanks to the weave.
___
The Various Research, and thesis done on the weave, are the work of the academy of magic, responsible for the various schools teaching spellcasting through the world, they also invest a lot of time and money in research on the subject.

### Spell

But to this day, no one fully masters the weave. for example, there is no recorded instance of 10th level spell or higher, even if it is believed that the great cataclysm was caused by something of this power level.
___
Spell are classified in 8 different schools, more precision and detail can be added to each spell, but all correspond to one of those 8 school: Abjuration, Conjuration, Divination, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion, Necromancy, Transmutation.
___
**Abjuration.** Magical spells and effects within the school of abjuration are primarily designed for protection and shielding. Don’t be fooled however, some Abjuration spells can pack quite a punch.
___
**Conjuration.** The School of Conjuration deals with creating objects and creatures, or making them disappear. 
___
**Divination.** The magical School of Divination is centered around revealing and granting knowledge and information to the caster. Useful for reading ancient scripts, identifying magical items, and seeing invisible enemies. 
___
**Enchantment.** Spells within the School of Enchantment are designed to manipulate the mental state of the target. This entire school is very similar to hypnotism, where the affected creature may act completely differently than how they normally behave.
___
**Evocation.** Casters within the school of evocation unleash a raw magical energy upon their enemies. Whether it be flames, ice, or pure arcane energy.
___
**Illusion.** The School of Illusion is concerned with manipulating the various senses of people and creatures. This could be vision, hearing, or other various senses such as body temperature. 
___
**Necromancy.** In general, think of spells within the School of Necromancy as manipulating the ebb and flow of different creatures’ “life energy”, or the balance of energy between life and death. This can come across in the form of helping resurrection, or draining necrotic damage. 
___
**Transmutation.** Casters who study within the School of Transmutation are able to manipulate the physical properties of both items and people. This could be something simple – such as turning copper into gold.

> ##### Spell Scroll
> In Toriel, spell scrolls are slightly different. The parchment, imbued with weave carries the necessary power to cast a spell, and the arcane runes and glyphs on its surface catalyzing the weave to make the correct spell.
 
##### Spell Scroll
*Scroll, Varie*
___
A spell scroll bears the words of a single spell, written in a mystical cipher. You can read the scroll and cast its spell. Casting the spell by reading the scroll requires the spell’s normal casting time. Once the spell is cast, the words on the scroll fade, and it crumbles to dust. If the casting is interrupted, the scroll is not lost. If the spell require a saving throw or an attack roll, use Intelligence as your spellcasting modifier.

If the spell is of a higher level than you can normally cast, you must make an arcana check to determine whether you cast it successfully. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a failed check, the spell disappears from the scroll with no other effect.

## Dragon
The dragons in Toriel are different from what a person might imagine in many ways. These majestic creatures are immortal, at least they do not fear the passage of time, but an injury can be fatal.
___
There are three main categories of dragons. The chromatic, metallic, and gem dragons. The most common being the chromatic and metallic, representing evil and good respectively (while gem dragons are generally neutral).
___
They are an ancient race, but unfortunately, few representatives still exist, so ancient that they were among the first creatures to populate Toriel, their lineage so old that their influence changed the shape of this world, even before the great war against the giants.
___
The last representatives of this species live hidden in their dens, or change into humanoid form, blending into our society.

#### Biology
Dragons were inherently magical beings, and in no case should dragons be considered reptiles, despite obvious similarities such as a scaled epidermis and reproduction by laying eggs. In fact, they were more akin to feline creatures than reptiles, particularly in regards to their posture and movements, as well as being inherently warm-blooded and an eye composition similar to felines, although far more complex. A good example of this was the placement of the legs: dragons also tended to place their rear foot where their front foot was previously, much like most stalking feline predators.

#### Diet
All dragons were omnivorous and could eat almost anything, thanks to their innate elemental nature that allowed them to consume and digest all sorts of food, including substances that wouldn't qualify as food to other living creatures. Most dragons preferred a carnivorous diet, but a few of them had developing unique dietary habits. Metallic dragons, for instance, preferred to eat primarily inorganic fare.
___
Most dragons usually consumed half their own weight in meat every day. Dragons seldom got fat, as their bodies converted all the eaten food into elemental energy, storing it for later use. Much of this stored energy was expended using their breath weapons and when their bodies changed because of them advancing in age. When eating inorganic materials, dragons needed to eat as much as its own body weight per day to maintain healthy bodies.
___
In some instances, dragons also ate magic items. These instances were rare however. While dragons could "inherit" the magical properties of some magic items for a day or so, and as such this would had some tactical value, few dragons would resort to do such a thing unless they were starving to the point of death.

\columnbreak

#### Reproduction
The number of eggs a dragon laid each brood depended on its race, but was usually low, between one and three. Thanks to their shape-shifting, dragons could also cross-breed with virtually any other creature, creating a half-dragon. The most commonly heard of were in the humanoid races, particularly with human and elves. Any combination was possible, however, even with devils or angels.

#### Senses
As for their senses, which varied slightly depending on the species, dragons were superior in most ways to other creatures - like any predator, they had exceptionally acute senses, which only increased with age. Dragons had excellent depth perception and comparably good peripheral vision, able to see twice as well as a human in daylight; they had great night vision, and were able to see even when conditions had no light to offer, though not in color. Dragons could also pick up scents very well, utilizing both their sensitive nose and forked tongue, much like a snake. Their hearing was on par with human hearing, although their minds could filter what noise it hears. Dragon taste was also refined, although they did not respond well to sweet flavors, and most dragons didn't discuss why. They were able to eat almost everything, but each race had a preferred diet; some preferred flesh, other to eat precious metals or gems, and so forth. Of all its senses, a dragon's sense of touch is the only one to decrease with age, due mostly to the development of thick, hard scales.
___
Dragons were capable of blindsense, the sense in which eyes, ears, and other senses were used to detect invisible persons or objects.

#### Abilities
Never steal from a living red dragon's treasure hoard.
___
Dragons became stronger as they grew older; they also became larger, more resistant to damages and magic, had a more dangerous breath, and a great deal of other enhanced aspects. Older dragons could cast draconic magic, such as spells with just a few words, and oftentimes they didn't need long and complex ritual involving words, gestures and components like other wizards, and they radiated a mystical fear aura around themselves. After a millennium or two, a dragon reached his maximum development.
___
All dragons had some innate magical abilities, but they varied from race to race. Metallic dragons were often able to shapechange into small animals or human forms, and used this ability to secretly help or watch over humans. Dragons also had some innate powers upon the element they are linked to. For example a red dragon, who breathed fire, had some control over other flame.

## Vampire
There are two type of vampires, but the vast majority of people is totaly unable to differenciate them, as they are similar enough for the common folk to be unable to tell the difference. The existence of such a distinction is not even know by most people.
___
The first type is a curse, vampirism as a curse is the one people commonly think about. The blooddriking vampire feed on the blood of its prey, and is bite carry the curse, similarly to lycanthropie.
___
The other type of vampire is an actual race of independant monster. Many subspecies exist, each with their own specificity, but those do not transmit any form of vampirism.

### Vampirism as a curse
The curse of vampirism can be transmitted, or created in many ways. It is similar in some aspect to a curse of lycanthropie, as a bite can spread the influence of the curse, creating vampire spawn, puppet under the control of the vampire lord.
___
The theory on the origin of the curse are many. It is probably extremly old, like other similar dark ritual such as those turning a wizard into a lich. Maybe it was created on purpose by powerful ancient spellcaster, getting inspiration from actual vampire (the race) to try and achieve immortality. Or maybe, the folklore around vampire pushed people to curse each other, and the power of word slowly twisted those curse, those word, to create this.
___
The exact source of this curse is unknown, the effect and transmission of the curse has been detailled over the year. As stated previously, the bite transmit a small portion of the curse, just enough to transform a creature into a vampire spawn, and corrupt his mind into submission. However, a willing vampire lord may proceed to a ritual, during which he bite someone before he let the same person drink his blood, doing so will create a new vampire lord.

\columnbreak

## Alexstrasza

### God of Life
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder, is the guardian of all life in the world of Toriel. She was one of the rare dragon, an emerald dragon, choosen by the gods to become one of them, and was empowered by them to protect life in Toriel, and to act as a Mediator between Bahamut and Tiamat.

Alexstrasza loves all living creatures and protects them, and only those who menace the dragon or the world face her wrath.

#### Dawn of the Dragon-God
In Toriel's ancient past, the Dragon God were old and powerful dragons who where blessed with godly power, may they have been empowered by gods who saw successor, or took this role by force.

Alexstrasza, her brother Dralad, and her younger sister Ysera were the only three survivors of their clutch. Ysera was sick and smaller than average, and Alexstrasza watched out for her. Alexstrasza was one of the more intelligent of her clutch and when one of her clutch brothers went missing, Alexstrasza searched to find him and met with Malygos. The two were attacked but fought off the threat, following this lead, the two dragon found Alexstrasza brother, dead.
___
Like the other dragons of this era, long before the great cataclysm Alexstrasza would gather under the command of Talonixa. While her sister believed that peace could made with Zuth a dragon afflicted with a disease, a curse only afflicting dragon, and growing stronger and stronger.

Alexstrasza knew that fighting was the only option, however, she vowed to not fight like Talonixa. When Ysera was given a chance to speak her idea of peace, Alexstrasza was worried about Talonixa's reaction. But when Ysera stood up to talk with Talonixa, treator used this occasion to join Zuth. Malygos witness of the betrayal and subsequent devouring by Zuth, would return to the others only to find Ysera and Talonixa in conflict over the fate of those bitten by Zith, afflicted by the curse. Alexstrasza found herself agreeing with Talonixa over the issue, the bitten would have to be quarantined or killed for the safety of everyone else.
___
Alexstrasza would then later save her sister from Zuth, after Ysera tried to plead peace even as the dragon army fought the elemental Zuth was conjuring. As Zuth began to fight the proto-dragon army, the god started to watch over this conflict, with interest. Some time after, Malygos found his way to the two of them, afflicted by the disease. Briefly succombing to the hunger for flesh, he attacked Ysera, but thanks to Alexstrasza intervention, Ysera was able to recall him to his senses and Malygos was then cured by the ancient god of life, blessed against the disease.

Alexstrasza, Ysera and Malygos joined with the other powerful dragon, the hunt Zuth once and for all. Forcing him to retreat in a cavern were all five dragon (Aliexstrasza, Malygos, Neltharion, Nozdormu Ysera), except for Ysera, began the battle against Zuth, who had grown larger and even more mutated than before. When Zuth suddenly expanded in size without warning, Their attack could no longer harm him. With a flap of wings, Zuth called up a massive wind that scattered the fighters. Ysera suddenly appeared and Zuth attempted to devour her, but Neltharion silenced his laughter with a mighty blow, pulled Zuth to the ground and began to mercilessly beat him even as Zuth began mutating further - as he began to resemble an elemental.

In the battle, Zuth ripped Neltharion lower jaw, Malygos moved to save him, examining the bloody mess as Zuth roared in triumph and grew ever larger. This bolstered the fighter, that, in a final attempt to protect everything they held dear, and blessed by the old gods, banished Zuth from existence.

After such a feat, the five dragon were blessed with godly power, agreeing to protect Toriel. Channeling the power of the ancient gods, they could access to godhood themself.

#### War of the Ancients

Alexstrasza was one of the three dragon god that fought the demons of the Abyss during the War of the Ancients. It was also in that war that the black dragon Neltharion deceived his fellow dragons, using the Dragon Soul (also now known as the Demon Soul) to steal a portion of their power. During the battle; Alexstrasza was captured by the demon, thank to Neltharion betrayal, the demon could hold the dragon god captive within the abyss, were she spent countless years, as their slave. But Neltharion wanted to see her suffer, and created a plan to bring her out of the abyss, only for her to witness the destruction that her power utilized by the demon had brought to this world. The caravan moving her was attacked by Neltharion,part of his plan, but with the help of her former mate, Alexstrasza was set free, and then rejoined the remaining Aspects Nozdormu, Malygos, and Ysera.

Meanwhile, the human took the Dragon Soul, and destroyed it, putting an end to the war of the ancients with the defeat of the demons.
___
For some time after, Alexstrasza and her fellow red dragons were at peace, but over time they began to argue about how best to shelter and protect the world. The rise to power of humans and other races left many believing that these new people were dangerous and should be destroyed, while others of Alexstrasza's ilk felt they should be educated to teach them right from wrong.

##### Visage-Day

#### The Battle of Life and Death

In the highlanders mountains, Alexstrasza confronted Neltharion. After several minutes of battle, Neltharion and Alexstrasza fell towards the ground, this event is said to be the cause of the formation of the insatiable lake, clutched in each other's claws. Alexstrasza, exhausted and gravely injured, was found laying on the ground in her humanoid form, while Neltharion fell out of sight beyond the crest of the mountain. 
___
Calen who likewise took elven form (who is Alexstrasza child), raced to the dragon god's side. Her voice wavered as she explained that the Earth Warder was dead. Like a phantom, the gigantic form of Neltharion rose up behind them. Calen exclaimed "he lives!" and the wounded Alexstrasza forced herself to sit up, stating that it was "impossible" for Neltharion to have survived the wounds she dealt him. Neltharion set the ground at his feet aflame and glowered over the group. Calen moved to put himself between his mother and Neltharion, taking his true form again. But he was completely dwarfed by the Black dragon godly power. Realizing he stood no chance of defeating Neltharion, Calen darted back and forth, shooting fireballs, in an effort to distract him while Alexstrasza escaped. He later stated that this was a partial victory, as Neltharion was gravely wounded and would need to go into hiding to recuperate.

##### Caelestrasz
Caelestrasz (Calen in his drow elf shape) is an ancient dragon and a child of Alexstrasza. He was taken captive by giants at the begining of the war against the giants, it his believe his capture, along with the emerald Merithra and the silver Arygos played an important role in the war between the giants and the dragons. All three were cursed, and Calen suffered a Curse affecting his shape, forcing him to stay in the guise of a drow, weak and powerless for the rest of his day. This captivity, an attempt to affect the dragon gods close of those dragons was an at that greatly increaed the tension between dragons and giants, and was descisive in the begining of that war.
___
After years of torture and suffering, he was freed by the end of the war. Now living freely, he is still stuck as a drow, and those long years of pain made him grow bitter and bitter, turning evil as he try to gain back more and more of his draconic power.

## Arygos
### God of the Mind

Arygos is an ancient silver dragon and offspring of Malygos. In his early day, he fought against a basilisk, the festering wounds were deep, and Arygos could feel the effect of the petrification starting, he knew his magic, as powerful as it was, was not enough to staunch the petrification that began to slowly radiate outward from his wound. Eventually, his back left leg went numb and then still.

As his mobility began to suffer, Arygos took to more contemplative studies. In his meditations and explorations, he began to work past his limitations as he mastered the power of his mind. Though he could not stop the progression of the curse that was slowly turning him to stone, he was able to learn to project his spirit into the Astral Plane. He discovered that as he wandered this plane, time stood still for his body — and his ailment.
___
In this way he has preserved his life, spending increasingly greater lengths of time wandering the Astral Plane to delay his encroaching petrification. To protect his corporeal form, Arygos relies upon a network of informants he has recruited in the ancient Orrin civilization. Most are unaware of his affliction. He meets with them through illusions and remains in contact through their dreams. Should the need arise, he can erase their memories to continue to keep his secrets safe.

#### The heart of the Desert
With the great extinction, Arygos had to seek out new ways to exist, to connect with the material plane, as he grew strong, he became the heart of the desert south, or more specifically, the shifting sand itself. His mind suffering from the isolation, making those dwelling in the desert fall in despair, the desert was named the Desolation Desert. As such, Arygos no longer resembled one single entity unless it was viewed as the entire desert. The core of its domain centered around his Original body, the source of his power, is still hidden among the shifting dunes.

Arygos power influencing the desert, the rare treasure present within the ruins of the ancient civilization in the desert, infused with the dragon's power, are said to be cursed, as they spread the dragon's influence over this world. Those possessing those treasures are plagued with enigmatic dreams, and visions of the dragon.

#### Arygos Rise to power
Arygos's rise was initiated by Scarlet Briar, a dragonborn who had gone mad after hearing its whispers in 521 DB after gathering a legendary treasure from the desert's ruins, eventually being shown "images of destiny." Following ideas she believed to be her own, Scarlet gathered magical items, Arygos consuming their magic to grow stronger while Scarlet was being taunted by Arygos's constant whispers. Arygos's influence was growing physically and mentally changing those exposed to his power, awakening their psionic abilities.

In 527 DB Scarlet finished her preparations and Arygos grew strong enough to rise to godhood, the blood of his father, god of magic, Malygos the spell weaver, helping in the process. Though Scarlet died in the process, her death was said to send the final spike of power necessary for Arygos to fully access his new powers.

## Fury
### Archdevil, Queen of Hell
Somewhere in Hell's great lake of fire is a hidden island made of pure gold. An ever-growing mountain of gold coins, chalices, idols, and other glimmering finery rises from the flames, and at its top is a majestic golden throne. Atop that throne rests a dragon — but although Fury is known as the Dragon Queen of Hell, she rarely assumes draconic shape. Those who dare to gaze upon her majesty see a woman of unbelievable strength and beauty. Seven feet tall, she is draped in an ash-black dress that crackles with tiny flames like smoldering coals. Her skin is tanned, and patches of golden scales burst seemingly at random across her face, arms, and slender, powerful legs. An unruly mane of crimson hair cascades down her back and a pair of onyx horns curl from her brow, just as wings of smoke and flame emerge from her back.
___
Fury was once a mortal dragon who ruled over a longforgotten kingdom of the ancient world. In those days, she was known as Feth'razaal Goldenhide, because her ebony-blue scales were studded with the golden tribute she demanded from her subjects. In time, however, her hunger for power and wealth surpassed her subjects' ability to pay homage, and she exacted tribute another way: by claiming the souls of the dead. As her once-great realm fell into decline, Fury hoarded more and more souls until she was the queen of naught but ruins and bones.

It was then that she was visited by Asmodeus, King of Hell.
___
The King of Hell admired Feth'razaal's vast bounty of souls, and greeted her on one knee and offered her a band of Hell-forged gold. He sought her hand in marriage and she accepted his proposal. Feth'razaal knew that the King of Hell could not be trusted, and she knew that his proposal was a selfish gesture prodigiously stuffed with false humility, but she was flattered despite her better judgment. She took the pleasing shape of one of Hell's greatest warriors, the mighty Erinyes, and wedded Asmodeus in his great citadel. She vowed silently to match her treacherous new husband scheme for scheme, and wrest power from him just as he sought to undo hers.

\columnbreak

But the game grew wearisome after centuries of play. The artifice of love and loyalty wore thin for both Asmodeus and his queen. Feth'razaal's disgust for the selfish, arrogant, and oft-distant King of Hell grew boundless, and one day she confronted Asmodeus on his iron throne. She took his ring from her talon, popped it in her mouth like a sweet, and spat the molten gold — melted by her dragonflame — in Asmodeus's face, then departed, vowing one day to claim Hell as her own and rule it as its rightful queen. Asmodeus was stunned for only an instant before he rose in fury and demanded his wife's head on a platter, but in that instant of shock, Feth'razaal had already gathered her numerous allies within the courts of Hell and flown from her old palace.

Feth'razaal discarded her old name — one which had been tainted by centuries of false love — when she broke her vow with the King of Hell and took on a new title that encompassed her boundless ambition and wrath: Fury. In the intervening eons, Fury carved out a mighty domain within the inferno and named herself an archdevil. Many of the souls she claimed as a mortal dragon millennia ago now loyally serve her as fiendish warriors, preferring the devil they know over the tyrannical rule of Asmodeus. Others take mortal form and venture into the world of the living to steal and pillage gold or souls to deliver tribute to their queen — just as they did in life. Someday, Fury knows she and her armies will grow powerful enough to dethrone Asmodeus once and for all. Until then, she is content to bide her time and live in luxury as Fury, Dragon Queen of Hell.

## Kur
### God of the Void

Kur is believed to be the very first black dragon and is the eldest of the dragon god. Long before Zuth was a threat, long before other dragons access godhood, Kur was filled with primal power, a power so strong, that he was challenging the gods with his very own existence, a power such that space itself was bending around him.

The gods attempted to push the ancient dragon underground, to push him far from their affair, concerned with his power. But, out of spite or desperation, the great dragon kidnapped the goddess of the void, asking to be freed from their torment. He would not free the goddess until she met his demands. The goddess agreed to Kur's price, casting him into the void. But, Kur expected duplicity, knowing full-well what the goddess would do, and took her with him.

In this eternal void, in this infinite place, the two fought, and after a long battle, Kur came out victorious, now graced with the power of the goddess, and becoming the first black dragon god.

#### The War of the Ancients
During The War of the Ancients when the demons opened a portal to the material plane to allow their armies access to the world of Toriel, the Dragon God congregated at the lair of Alexstrasza to discuss the coming invasion and what part they should play in defending the world. Neltharion proposed that to end the invasion of demons, the dragonflights should create a weapon with which they could eradicate the demon armies.

Neltharion persuaded Malygos to aid him in convincing the other Great Aspects to lend a part of their power to create the weapon, the Dragon Soul. The artifact was a simple unassuming golden disc created by Neltharion. The Dragon Soul was to be used as a weapon against the demons. All the Dragon God contributed a bit of their power in creating the Dragon Soul with the exception of Neltharion. Through the disk, Neltharion was able to magically take control of all other dragons including the other Dragon Gods.

During one of the final battles the Dragon Gods called all of the dragons together and flew toward the battle. With ease, a crazed Neltharion, destroyed the demons by using the Dragon Soul—now known as the Demon Soul—against them. The other Aspects tried to stop Neltharion. Malygos' flight surrounded Neltharion in an attempt to take the Demon Soul from him. With a single command, they were engulfed by the magic of the Demon Soul and were pulverized. Malygos was also terribly injured, both mentally and physically.
___
He felt deep guilt for his role in convincing the other Dragon Gods to infuse their powers into the Demon Soul. He traveled to his lair around the nexus, where he hid for millenia. Feelings of remorse paralyzed him. During ages following the War of the Ancients, he was rarely seen by the other Dragon God. His body was a caricature of his former self.

A resulst of this accumulation of power, the nexus, a well for the weave into this world, as grow stronger and stronger. The consequences had been violent, dangerous, and deadly. The world's crust had splintered, and the resulting unstable rifts had torn the very fabric of the astral plane. This made the weave flow in incredible amount on the material plane, making everything partially magical, the plant, the beast, the monster, many become blessed by the weave.

## Neltharion
### God of Death

“Pain... Agony... My hatred burns through the cavernous deeps. The world heaves with my torment. Its wretched kingdoms quake beneath my rage. But at last... The whole of Toriel will break... And all will burn beneath the shadow of my wings.”

<div class="credit" >— Neltharion </div>

</div>

Neltharion the Destroyer, formerly known as Neltharion the Earth-Warder (pronounced "nehl-THAW-ree-uhn"), was once empowered as a god of the earth and the deep places of Toriel. However, driven mad by the Old Gods, he turned against the other dragon god during the war of the ancients. Eventually abandoning his title of god of Earth in favor of being the god of Death. Becoming one of the greatest terrors of the known world, his name too became one whispered with a feeling of fear and contempt among both mortals and dragons. The black dragon involved himself in the War against the giants, he also took part in multiple conflict such as the great reunion; adopting the form of the human Lord Daval Prestor in order to destroy the elves. As a human, Prestor was said to be tall, with a slim figure, black hair and clean-shaven hawklike features that were the subject of gossip among the ladies of King Terenas' court.

After such a feat, the five dragon were blessed with godly power, agreeing to protect Toriel. Channeling the power of the ancient gods, they could access to godhood themself.

#### As a Dragon God

Now the caretaker of the continents of Toriel, with domain over the earth and the deep places of the world, Neltharion used his power with wisdom and benevolence, forging mountains and rivers for the benefit of mortal races. His lair was located in a mountainous region (now called the highlander mountains) near the ancient elf city within the wood of the vale, where he stored the artifact he was hoarding. In peaceful times, Neltharion was renowned for his wisdom and power and became known as Neltharion the Earth-Warder, a great protector of the land. Malygos, now the Spell-Weaver and the Aspect of magic, was his closest friend.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.11 | Toriel's Pantheon</div>

#### Corruption
Although he was revered as a Dragon God, Neltharion silently chafed at what he felt was a burden that had been inflicted on him; though he could command the entire weight of Toriel itself, that same weight constantly pressed on his body every waking moment, the load making him feel suffocated to the point that he felt his very spirit unraveling. Neltharion believed that he must bear this burden alone, but ultimately found it to be too much, and began to resent the charge placed upon him.

Then came the madness that destroyed Neltharion's mind, changing him and his kind forever and leading to the creation of the powerful item known as the Dragon Soul, later the Demon Soul. The inner-voices convinced him that he could have power beyond his imagination with this artifact. The voices made him paranoid of even his own kind. Neltharion began to yearn for a world dominated by black dragons — a world in which the other dragon kind ceased to exist and Ysera and Alexstrasza would be his petty slaves for mating. Knowing he couldn't defeat the other dragon god alone, he started to create the dragon soul, forged with his blood and empowered by Neltharion's magic, the simple disc was magically shielded so that the other Dragon Gods could not see within it. There was an evil within the disc, some taint of his madness, though its exact nature is not known.

Neltharion also instructed his follower to experiment with ways to merge the elements into a binding ore. He believed it would be the ultimate tool in his rise to power.

#### War of the Ancients
When the Demons entered Toriel during the War of the Ancients, Neltharion saw the opportunity to complete his Dragon Soul. He first captured demons and added their powers to the Dragon Soul. Neltharion then convinced Malygos to help him with the other Dragon Gods. All of them agreed to give a portion of their powers to the Dragon Soul. Neltharion proposed that the Dragon Soul disc could be a weapon of great power to destroy the demons. Unknown to the rest, Neltharion was the only one who did not give of his powers to the Dragon Soul.

Neltharion, the Dragon Gods and their dragon kind flew toward the demon armies. The dragons awaited Neltharion's first attack. He grabbed the Dragon Soul and by channeling his destructive power through it destroyed thousands of demons with one swing of radiant magic. The Dragon Gods watched in horror as Neltharion also killed some of their kind and other allies along with the demons. Neltharion revealed the depths of his betrayal at last. Now with the disc at his command, he wanted all races and the demons to see his power and to bow to him. The Dragon Gods attacked Neltharion in an attempt to take the Dragon Soul from him and to reason with him in hopes of determining the cause of his perfidy. A swing of the Dragon Soul paralyzed all dragons and the Dragon Gods in mid-air, rendering them unable to move or speak. Neltharion then struck out at the Dragon Gods, destroying many and scattering them far across the land. With the help of this power, he captured Alexstrasza.

Neltharion's betrayal struck a great blow to the Gods, and their fear of being destroyed or captured like Alexstrasza kept them in seclusion. In desperation, the Dragon Gods shielded themselves and hid to become undetected even by each other.

#### Rise of the Destroyer
The growing corruption in Neltharion's heart warped his body, as the dragon began taking a more demonic appearance. Neltharion's body cracked open, revealing his molten heart, and acid and poison flowed off his chest. His eyes became aflame in green, demonstrating the magnitude of his power and the depths of his evil. With his power growing stronger, he killed the former god of death, taking on his role and power. Thus was Neltharion the Destroyer born, and the Dragon Soul was renamed the Demon Soul.

Neltharion returned to his lair in what would later be known as Highlander mountains. His proximity to the Demon Soul was ripping his body apart, Ordering his follower to mine the adamantine of this mountains, and to forge him and armr, and armor to serve as a vessel to contain his raging powers and keep them in check, which were then placed on his body. Only the adamantium plates bolted to his spine kept the power from destroying his body. and his lower jaw, ipped in the fight against Zuth, was also replaced.

The demon, betraying the destroyer, took the demon soul, and used its power to enlarge to portal to the abyss, allowing their amries to poor into Toriel. In an attempt to distract the demon, and to get the artifact back, Neltharion plotted to have Alexstrasza moved, planning to torture her even more once he got the artifact back, But, with the intervention of the other dragon gods, she was freed, and, the demon soul was stolen from both the demon and Neltharion by Nozdormu futur self, with a human wizard. The demons armies were defeated after shortly after.

Neltharion vowed to destroy most life and to wreak havoc on the planet. With his powers over earth, Neltharion caused volcanoes to rise along with the destruction already caused by the Portal to the abyss implosion, sinking a whole continent below the ocean. After the war he retreated to his lair in the mountainous region, and entered a deep slumber. He needed time to recover from his wounds caused by the Demon Soul and to regain his strength.

#### The Battle of Life and Death

#### Lord Daval Windrin

After millenia of slumber, Neltharion, took on a mortal guise, and enjoyed himself in the conflict of the great reunion. Posing as Lord Daval Windrin, he managed to make himself popular with the other Warlords, and for a while had a strong influence in the war decisions.
___
Lord Windrin was a minor noble, dispossessed and without backing, who came from the north. He came from one of the most mountainous and obscure regions of what is now known as Tana's empire, after his tiny domain had been destroyed. He and a handful of his close family traveled by foot — no mounts, not even any servants or guards — to the join the human's army.

Alexstrasza would then later save her sister from Zuth, after Ysera tried to plead peace even as the dragon army fought the elemental Zuth was conjuring. As Zuth began to fight the proto-dragon army, the god started to watch over this conflict, with interest. Some time after, Malygos found his way to the two of them, afflicted by the disease. Briefly succombing to the hunger for flesh, he attacked Ysera, but thanks to Alexstrasza intervention, Ysera was able to recall him to his senses and Malygos was then cured by the ancient god of life, blessed against the disease.

#### The War of the Ancients
Nozdormu was missing at this time because he was trapped in a time anomaly caused by the Enemy Gods. At the end of the war, upon the destruction of the portal to the abyss and the halting of the Old Gods' attempt to trap Nozdormu, he was freed from his entrapment. He assisted the other Dragon god, placing and enchantment upon the elves, the elves would now age incredibly slowly.
___
During the great cataclysm, the Nozdormu tried to save the mortal, teleporting the mage that caused the incident back in the past with him, ending up at the end of the war against the Demons. The human he teleported helped to end the war, destroying the Dragon Soul artifact. This marked one of the few (if not the only) tumes the dragon god allowed the timeline to be altered, in the that the world would be better without de invasion of demons. After their mission was complete, Nozdormu returned the human mage and himself to the present. The sanctity of the timeways had been upheld, but it would not be the last time that anomalies would appear in history. Nozdormu became obsessed with unraveling the mystery of what - or who - was responsible. He disappeared into the timeways for an unknown amount of time.

##### Cleric of Time
Nozdormu once rescued a helpless mortal, that took it upon himself to thank the god, venerating him, and became the first cleric of the god of time. Nozdormu granted him immortality as a Watcher, tasked to bear witness to the history of Toriel as one of his agents.

## Umunairu
### God of Storm
Umunairu is a dragon of storm and sky, but not a true dragon. Her slender serpentine form swims through the heavens, borne aloft on delicate wings. Lustrous feathers cover her body, reflecting and refracting the light around her. Those that have seen her describe her as a force of nature - like a flash of lightning in the night sky, the setting sun before a storm, a dancing aurora, or a fading rainbow.

But, when the ancient gods needed an army of celestial champions, Umunairu willingly sacrificed her spirit to birth the couatl. The couatl were imbued with a fragment of Umunairu's draconic might, and appearance and Umunairu received a gift in return. As long as even one couatl lives, she will never know a natural death, and will be a goddess, the goddess of storm.

This boon is not without drawbacks. Over the intervening centuries, the population of couatl has begun to dwindle. A portion of Umunairu's memory is lost with each of her children that passes from the mortal world. The confusion this causes coupled with the sorrow and rage she experiences with the realization of each new loss has left her temperamental. The storms around her reflect this inner turmoil, making much of the landscape surrounding her lair an inhospitable place.
___
Perched high above civilization, she is content to remain apart. Her interests rarely intersect with the world in such a way that she harms it. She watches as many of her children as she can. When they are threatened, she views this as a personal affront, visiting unrelenting retaliation against those that draw her ire. But, she help and bless the brave adventurers who save her children.

#### Conflicted Spirit
Umunairu's Always seem to be marked by complex or unclear motives. Working with or against her almost always involves untangling a dense web of conflicting emotions and delicate perspectives as the goddess loose more and more of her mind.

## Vanadon-Necroth
### God of Passage
In ancient times, the dragon scribe Vanadon served the goddess of the dead and protected her endless Book of the Dead, a massive tome which, thanks to his diligence, bore the names and final words of all creatures who ever have died, and who ever will die. Vanadon served his goddess dutifully for millenia. Neltharion already betrayed numerous of the dragon god at this point, and was spreading his corruption among powerful dragons, influenced by the earth warden, Vanadon faced the god of death alongside Neltharion, consumming the endless Book of the Dead to greatly lower the dark lady of death power, and took its power into his own body, transforming himself into the Living Book of the Dead.

From now on, the names and last words of the dead instantly inscribed themselves upon his milky-white scales. When he emerged, with paper-white scales covered in endlessly shifting patterns of black scrawling, he became known as Vanadon-Necroth, the Scaled Book of the Dead. Now recognized as the god of Passage, all mortal are destined to face him. He became beloved by the undying gardens' heroic inhabitants as a keeper of the memories of the dead.

Though the loremaster Vanadon once kept his library open to all creatures, he has grown paranoid during the war after the war of the ancients. His archive-lair was once a majestic castle that towered over the passing dead soul, but Vanadon-Necroth transported his entire archive-lair elsewhere, leaving only the crumbling, gutted structure of his once-magnificent castle in its wake. His godly power also grant him the power of perfect recollection and all information he adds to his infallible intellect is instantly inscribed upon his ivory scales.

Now, the Archives of the Dead drift on the waves of the endless Astral Plane, tethered to the bones of a dead god of memory, whose name is forgotten to all but VanadonNecroth himself. Within this arcane fortress, VanadonNecroth stores and maintains all of the physical tomes and scrolls he collected in his long life-which has also inscribed the details of countless spells from all disciplines of magic upon his scales. Though he no longer needs physical records of his accrued knowledge, he takes pleasure in reading and re-reading his favorite scrolls.

#### Vanadon Lair
Vanadon-Necroth prefers to be left alone to guard the records of the dead in peace, but every few generations he welcomes powerful mortal travelers to his home. Some come for simple reasons, to learn the final words of an ancient ancestor — possibly revealing the location of a hidden treasure or an arcane secret. Others come seeking the names of ancient heroes who have been lost to time so that they might be resurrected to aid them in their quests.

Vanadon-Necroth's archives are a dungeon of twisting passages, filled with traps, undead and construct servitors, and arcane wards made to deter all but the most determined knowledge-seekers from reaching his sanctum.

#### War of the Ancients
Ysera was one of the Dragon Gods that gave some of her power to the Demon Soul, not knowing Neltharion would betray the Aspects.

#### The Battle of Life and Death
At the behest of Ysera, Malygos and Nozdormu grudgingly agreed to come out of their lairs and fight Neltharion. Due to the power they had given to the Demon Soul, but they were no match for the Black dragon god — until Alexstrasza joined, bringing Neltharion down as the other dragon god were retreating.

## Curses
From punishing afflictions to poetic justice, curses are synonymous with dark fantasy. Within Toriel, curses are powerful incantation, reserved to those who've been wrong to bestow upon their foe. The power of word make it possible, for even non spell cater to curse someone else with enough evil intent and if the wrong was bad enough, and therefore, it is common to find people with weaker curse. But the greatest and darkest curses are reserved to the rare who dare to face true evil.

Curses channel dark emotions and vengeance, and grow in power when cast with spiteful intent. Woe befalls the fool who takes hag pacts lightly.

#### Pronouncement
The first component of a curse is the pronouncement, which amounts to a threat. It promises suffering to those who dare to perform or have already performed a specific offensive act. The pronouncement can be a standing warning against taking some action, or it could be a declaration in the moment. The following examples suggest just a few possible pronouncements:

* A widely spread story explaining that a particular action tempts terrible punishment
* A warning spoken on the cusp of a deadly battle, assuring dire consequences for the victorious
* A poem, rhyme, or song foretelling doom
* A carved epitaph on a gravestone discouraging robbers
* The last words of a dying person—either a powerful villain or a wrongly slain innocent
* Swearing a vow to refrain from or undertake some action on pain of great suffering

### Curse strength Table
Curses are spells of dark emotions and twisted fate, gaining power depending on the circumstances of their use. A curse cast with the dying breath of a betrayed lover will bear considerably more power than a run-of-themill curse.

| Knowledge of the target | Save Modifier |
| :---------------------: | :-----------: |
| Secondhand | -10 |
| Firsthand | -5 |
| Familiar | 0 |

| Target's Transgression | Save Modifier (only the highest applies) |
| :---------------------: | :-----------: |
| Broke a deal | +2 |
| Sworn Enemy | +7 |
| Egregious betrayal | +10 |
| Desecrated your home | +8 |
| Spiteful envy | +5 |
| Defiling a sealed tomb | +12 |
| Desecrating a temple | +15 |
| Stealing a treasure that is meaningful to an entire culture | +20 |

\columnbreak

These are examples of modifiers for curses, based on the relationship between the caster and the target. A GM can modify or expand these to suit the needs of their game.

### Triggering Event
Curses often have no immediate effect upon casting. Curses lie dormant within a target until they complete a task or action that satisfies their triggering event. For example, a target cursed with the curse of ravenous hunger will suffer no effects until they consume their next meal. Upon completing the Triggering Event, the target will automatically start the effects of the curse at stage 1.

### Stage Progression
While curses are dangerous magic, they take time to reach full power. Curses develop in 3 stages. As a curse progresses through the stages, it becomes more harmful to the afflicted. Whenever a cursed creature fails an escalation check, they advance to the next stage of the curse. The effects of a new stage are in addition to those of previous stages. If an effect contradicts another, use the effect from the greater stage.

### Escalation
Escalation represents the curse gaining power as time goes on. At dawn once a day, a cursed creature must make an escalation check to see if their curse escalates. To pass, a creature needs to roll an unmodified d20, and obtain a score greater than the number of checks they have made on this stage. On a failed save, the cursed creature applies the effects of the next stage of the curse, in addition to any previous stages.
___
For example, a creature who has just been cursed makes an escalation check the following dawn. They must roll greater than a 1. The next day the DC will increase to 2, and so on. If, on the 5th dawn, they roll a 5 or less, the curse escalates to the second stage. They apply any new effects and reset the DC to 1.
___
The remove curse and greater restoration spell, will delay the escalation check as long as suppresses the burden of the curse

> ##### Curse Stage
> All curse may not have 3 stage and a culmination, some curse only have a first stage, other only a third stage showing how hard it is to get rid of them.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.11 | Variant Mechanics</div>

\pagebreakNum

### Culmination
All curses have a culmination. This is the final intent of the curse, and often involves transforming the victim into a twisted creature, barely resembling who they once were. Culminations are truly evil effects and are almost always permanent. When a creature fails an escalation check at stage 3 of a curse, they apply the effects of the curse’s culmination. They continue to apply the effects of the previous stages, but cease making escalation checks. Once a curse’s culmination has been reached, it can only be cured with the use of a wish spell.

### Curing
Sometimes a curse can be ended by making restitution to a wronged party (or their closest kin in the case of a death) or reparation if something was stolen or destroyed. The resolution might be declared as part of the pronouncement, or it may be left to those who suffer the curse to make amends on their own. Research and divination can offer clues or even reveal the exact steps needed to resolve the curse.
___
While more general curses can lifted by a remove curse spell, more specific or dramatic curses can’t be permanently lifted through spells beyond the first stage, and cannot be llifted by a greater restoration spell beyond the second stage.
___
Magic can offer temporary respite, though. A remove curse spell cast on the victim of such a curse suppresses the burden for 1 hour. A greater restoration spell suppresses the burden until the victim finishes a long rest. Death usually ends a curse, but the curse returns in full force if the cursed character returns to life without resolving the curse.
___
***Persistent Curses.*** When a curse is resolved, its effects usually end immediately. Some more insidious curses might linger beyond the resolution but can then be removed by a remove curse spell or similar magic if the victim succeeds on a DC 15 Charisma saving throw when the spell is cast. If the save fails, it can be repeated after a specific interval passes, usually 1 month, with the curse ending on a successful save. Adjust the DC of a particularly weak curse to 10 or that of a stronger one to 20.

Here are some examples of curse resolutions:

* Protecting a loved one dear to the person who laid the curse from some dire threat
* Returning every piece of a stolen treasure hoard, down to the last copper coin, to the place where it once rested
* Slaying the head of a dynasty that has long held power in the region
* Accomplishing a seemingly impossible task, such as raising a castle above the clouds or making the sun cross the sky in a different direction

## Disease
Unfortunately, this world is not spared by the numerous known diseases that we can imagine, and those in addition to some diseases of magical origin. One can think in particular of the diseases that the Garkain spread, necrotizing the tissues, creating pustules of stench all over the body of the victim and spreading with the simple approach of one of the victims. And this sadly is just an example of the disease that can spread on those lands
___
You'll find below a few known and well documented disease

#### Seven Shades of Malcanthet
This venereal disease is not lethal but has indirectly caused many deaths. The Queen of Succubi Malcanthet is said to be responsible for the appearance of this disease, hence its name. Stimulating lust to extremes, it is rumoured to have prevented city garrisons from defending the walls on several occasions, allowing fortified cities to be taken easily where a years-long siege was expected. The exact propagation vector of the disease is not known with certainty as several variants—or shades—of the disease seem to coexist, strangely appearing in a region only to spontaneously disappear some time later. Rumours have it that dark bargains are signed in the shadows to unleash the Seven Shades and trigger unrest ahead of bolder political or military moves. After prolonged physical contact with an infected creature, a humanoid must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, becoming infected with the Seven Shades of Malcanthet on a failed save. If a creature's saving throw is successful, they become immune to the Shades for 24 hours.
___
An infected humanoid is overcome with carnal urges and becomes charmed by all non-hostile humanoids that interact with them.
___
The Seven Shades of Malcanthet can be removed by any method that cures diseases. The disease ends on its own after 2d4 days.

#### Faith Cough
“The Light of Corellon shall protect those who truly have faith.” This is the official statement from the elven kingdom about this virulent flu. Although not lethal, it is known to strike on a regular basis, constantly resurfacing when it was thought to be eradicated. Many rumours say that it doesn’t strike equally among the populations of Toriel, sparing the elves and going after their enemies.

\columnbreak

This reputation is probably erroneous considering the heavy toll taken by the Faith Cough among the poor all over Toriel, with the exception of the Kingdom of the Qwir within Tana's empire, which seem to be miraculously spared… If a humanoid comes within 5 feet of an infected creature they must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, becoming infected with Faith Cough on a failed save. If a creature’s saving throw is successful, they become immune to Faith Cough for 24 hours. Creatures infected with Faith Cough have disadvantage on Dexterity (stealth) checks and all constitution checks. Faith Cough can be removed by any method that cures diseases. The disease ends on its own after 2d6 days.

#### The Weeping Pox
Originating in the once prosperous town of Vandeguard, where it suddenly appeared under mysterious circumstances, the Weeping Pox is by far the worst disease ever released on Toriel. It has spread quickly through Toriel despite the attempts of Tana's Empire to contain it to Vandeguard. At first a sick person will be subject to fever causing sharpened senses, overexcitement, and a sense of wellbeing. But soon these symptoms will transition to delirium, burning fever, insatiable thirst, and oozing lesions that give the illness its name. Nearly all who contract the disease die shortly after. Most people succumb to the pox in a few days, while the most resilient may hold on for almost two weeks.
___
The Weeping Pox is transmitted between humanoids both by close contact and as an airborne virus. If a humanoid comes within 5 feet of an infected creature they must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw, becoming infected on a failed save. If a creature makes physical contact with an infected creature, this saving throw is made with disadvantage. If a creature’s saving throw is successful, they become immune to the Weeping Pox for 24 hours.
___
A creature infected with the Weeping Pox must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw each day at dawn. On a failed save, the creature’s Constitution score is reduced by 1d4. If a creature’s Constitution score is reduced to 0 then they die.
___
Known to the Yuan-ti and only a select few others, the cure to the Pox is a closely guarded secret. The Yuan-ti are willing to sell a vial of the antidote to those who know how to ask, for an exorbitant price or a costly favour.

#### Catriona
Catriona, named after the Nilfgaardian ship that brought it to the Northern Kingdoms, is a disease which is extremely similar to the Bubonic plague and is, in fact, the Bubonic plague. It also became known as the Red Death.
___
During her escape from the world of Aen Elle, Ciri traveled through the time-space continuum and one of her stops was probably medieval Europe in our world during the plague epidemic in the 14th century. She entered a port town which could be Genoa or some other Mediterranean port. She was immediately repelled by the place because there were the corpses of people and animals lying in the streets.

There were also many burned buildings marked by white crosses and many fleas. She escaped to another point in the time-space continuum, but before she was able to do so, a few fleas stuck to her jacket. Her next stop was another unnamed port town. She was able to discern that the port lays in Nilfgaard. She decided to quickly leave this place as well, but just before the next time-space jump, one of the surviving fleas fell from her jacket and made itself comfortable on an old sewer-rat. This rat boarded an old dirty hulk which set sail that very evening for Cintra. The name of the hulk was Catriona. Later in the Saga, there is small note about a dying tomcat who had caught a rat which left that hulk.

A year after the Battle of Brenna, the Red Death reached the city of Maribor, in the largest outbreak of the disease up to that point. Most of the physicians and priests fled the city during the epidemic, likely exacerbating the situation. Among those who stayed were Milo "Rusty" Vanderbeck and Iola the Second, who treated the diseased, undeterred by the lack of a cure. They both became infected. Rusty died in Iola's arms, and Iola died alone four days later.

St. Lebioda's Hospital in the Temple Quarter of Vizima is filled with the victims of Catriona, and Shani spends her time trying to help them in Chapters II and III. She probably works in the hospital during Chapter IV, as well, but Geralt is no longer in Vizima to witness this.

According to the old women in the Outskirts, when the plague first came, the first to go were the cats and dogs, then the rats and finally the people. Apparently, the lack of food even drove some of the more desperate to cannibalistic and necrophagic acts and many ghouls were created as a result.

Glossary Entry
Catriona
A disease which quickly spread through all the northern countries after the war with Nilfgaard. Those who suffer from catriona die a terrible death - their convulsions become stronger each day, they vomit blood and mucus, and have bloody diarrhea. After a fortnight or so they die in agony.

## Dropping to 0 HP
Whenever a player character is reduced to 0 hit points and brought back, they are brought back with an additional level of exhaustion.
___
Additionaly, if an effect reduce a player character to 0 hit points in a single hit, such as a tower falling onto the character, a deadly blow from a dragon, etc. It suffer a Lingering Injury, rolling on the following table if the circumstance do not already dictate which type of injury will be suffered.

|    :-:    |    :----:    |
|1 |  **Lose an Eye.** You have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight and on ranged attack rolls. Magic such as the regenerate spell can restore the lost eye. If you have no eyes left after sustaining this injury, you’re blinded.
|2 |  **Lose an Arm or a Hand.** You can no longer hold anything with two hands, and you can hold only a single object at a time. Magic such as the regenerate spell can restore the lost appendage.
|3 |  **Lose a Foot or Leg.** Your speed on foot is halved, and you must use a cane or crutch to move unless you have a peg leg or other prosthesis. You fall prone after using the Dash action. You have disadvantage on Dexterity checks made to balance. Magic such as the regenerate spell can restore the lost appendage.
|4 |  **Limp.** Your speed on foot is reduced by 5 feet. You must make a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw after using the Dash action. If you fail the save, you fall prone. Magical healing removes the limp.
|5–7 |  **Internal Injury.** Whenever you attempt an action in combat, you must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, you lose your action and can’t use reactions until the start of your next turn. The injury heals if you receive magical healing or if you spend ten days doing nothing but resting.
|8–10 | **Broken Ribs.** This has the same effect as Internal Injury above, except that the save DC is 10.
|11–13 |  **Horrible Scar.** You are disfigured to the extent that the wound can’t be easily concealed. You have disadvantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks and advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks. Magical healing of 6th level or higher, such as heal and regenerate, removes the scar.
|14–16 |  **Festering Wound.** Your hit point maximum is reduced by 1 every 24 hours the wound persists. If your hit point maximum drops to 0, you die. The wound heals if you receive magical healing. Alternatively, someone can tend to the wound and make a DC 15 Wisdom (Medicine) check once every 24 hours. After ten successes, the wound heals.
|17–20 |  **Minor Scar.** The scar doesn’t have any adverse effect. Magical healing of 6th level or higher, such as heal and regenerate, removes the scar.

## Alcohol and Drugs
Drugs exist and are used in this world, such as opium, which use is well known in artistic circles because the drug 'opens the mind' in addition to recreational properties. The different tobacco smoked with pipes are also common, and available at all levels of the population (we differentiate very well the social classes by the pipes they use). Or the hallucinatory mushrooms which are sometimes used for recreational purposes by the populations, or used in certain tribal rites to open new perceptions, and to come into contact with certain entities.

Similarly, alcohol consumption is part of the daily life of many adventurers.

No country regulates those product besode the taxes on their trade.
___
A character can consume a number of alcohol drinks equal to his Constitution modifier without suffering any negative effect. Each additional drink will force the character to make a Constitution saving throw against the booze DC.

**Booze save DC =** 10 + the number of alcoholic drink consummed.

</div>

A character failing this Constitution saving throw is drunk, and gain the poisonned condition.
___
Additionaly, a character drinking a number of alcohol drinks equal to his Constitution score will pass out an suffer a level of exhaustion.
___
Drugs work exactly in the same way. Consuming drugs with direct effect require the character to make a Constitution saving throw to resist the effect.

> ##### Trippy mushroom
> Some hallucinatory mushroom cause effect similar to illusion spell like hallucinatory terrain.

## Addiction
Some substance, such as drugs, are quite addictive. If a character consumes an addictive substance a number of times equal to their Constitution modifier plus 1 (minimum of 1), they become addicted to it. So a creature with a Constitution score of 16 will become addicted after consuming it for the fourth time. An addicted creature must consume the addictive substance every 24 hours or have disadvantage on Dexterity ability checks and saving throws. The addiction lasts until the creature is targeted with a *greater restoration* spell, or after 30 days of not consuming the addictive substance.

### Traversing hazardous lands
It is common to cross dangerous land to access places, the road snaking through the woods, plains and other biome are long, and those brave enough to try and find shortcut might encounter those natural hazard. In addition, cetain region are known to be dangerous and hazardous, even in habitated area, region up north might suffer Regular blizard, mountains may suffer regular rockfalls, etc...

Most of those in those landscape do not want to stay in those dangerous places. Those journey generally do not take over a week by foot without a stop at a safe place or some kind of settlement, but, with ship, mount, caravan, etc... those travel time can be greatly shortened.

### Environmental Hazards

When an avalanche stops, the snow and other debris settle and bury creatures. A creature buried in this way is blinded and restrained, and it has total cover. The creature gains 1 level of exhaustion for every 5 minutes it spends buried. It can try to dig itself free as an action, breaking the surface and ending the blinded and restrained conditions on itself with a successful DC 15 Strength (Athletics) check. A creature that fails this check three times can’t attempt to dig itself out again.

## Environmental Hazard by Terrain
In the following section you can find survival considerations and hazards for various terrains. You can combine different terrains to create a more dynamic (and probably more deadly) environment

### Artic
**Cold and Extreme Cold.** The temperatures in this environment are lower than other places, and you need proper gear for resisting this temperatures. Whenever the temperature is at or below 0 degrees Fahrenheit, you must follow the rules of extreme cold.
>##### Extreme Cold (DMG, P.110)
>
>Whenever the temperature is at or below 0 degrees Fahrenheit, a creature exposed to the cold must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw at the end of each hour or gain one level of exhaustion. Creatures with resistance or immunity to cold damage automatically succeed on the saving throw, as do creatures wearing cold weather gear (thick coats, gloves, and the like) and creatures naturally adapted to cold climates.

**Food Scarcity.** It's hard to find food like plants and creatures due the low temperatures. All the checks for foraging and hunting have a DC equal to 20.
___
***Shelter.*** In general, the arctic areas are vast frozen plains with big glaciers and rocks, making it difficult to find a natural shelter.

##### Environmental Hazards
| Hazard | Notes |
|:---------------:|:-------|
| Avalanches   | Only near mountains |
| Blizzard  |  |
| Elemental Cloud | Cyan clousd only |
| Frigid Water |  |
| Hailstorm |  |
| Chasms and Ice Cracks | Use the pits trap (DMF, P.122) |
| Slippery Ice |  |
| Thin Ice | |

### Caves
**Darkness and Light.** Most of the natural caves don't have light sources, so anyone who enters must bring their sources of light and fire for warmth, cooking and in some cases, defense. A caves might have some light sources, such as groups of fluorescent fungus or other dangerous light sources, like lava.
___
**Orientation and tracking.** Inside a cave it's almost impossible to determine where's North: lots of caves are just tunnels connected, making it more difficult to create an accurate map of it.
___
**Flooding.** Some parts of the caves might be close to a water source or any other liquid that can quickly fill a room.

##### Environmental Hazards
| Hazard | Notes |
|:---------------:|:-------|
| Earthquakes   | Might cause rockfalls |

### Desert
**Heat and Extreme Heat.** The opposite of the arctic terrain, temperatures in this environment are higher than other places, and you need enough water supplies for resisting the heat. Whenever the temperature is at or above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, you must follow the rules of extreme heat.
> ##### Extreme Heat (DMG, P.110)
>
>When the temperature is at or above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, a creature exposed to the heat and without access to drinkable water must succeed on a Constitution saving throw at the end of each hour or gain one level of exhaustion. The DC is 5 for the first hour and increases by 1 for each additional hour. Creatures wearing medium or heavy armor, or who are clad in heavy clothing, have disadvantage on the saving throw. Creatures with resistance or immunity to fire damage automatically succeed on the saving throw, as do creatures naturally adapted to hot climates.

**Shelter.** In general, the desert areas are just sand and rocks (in some areas they might be some scattered shrubs), making it difficult to find a safe campsite.
___
**Strong Wind.** A strong wind imposes disadvantage on ranged weapon attack rolls and Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing. A strong wind also extinguishes open flames, disperses fog, and makes flying by nonmagical means nearly impossible. A flying creature in a strong wind must land at the end of its turn or fall.
A strong wind in a desert can create a sandstorm that imposes disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
___
**Water Scarcity.** Finding water in a desert is extremely difficult, unless you're near an Oasis. All checks made for getting water have a DC equal to 20

### Forests and Jungles
**Density.** Sometimes is hard to walk through a forest due the
great number of plants, trees and vegetation. In most of the
cases, you can't walk in a straight line through the forest.
___
**Orientation and tracking.** Inside a forest, the trees covers the
sky, making it hard to determine where's North, and
depending the density of the forest it might be harder to keep
a track.
___
**Sight and hearing.** It might be more difficult to see or hear
your surroundings because the density of the forest, the tree
shadows, obstacles (such a fallen tree) and the sound of the
trees and vegetation moving with the wind.

A strong wind also extinguishes open flames, disperses fog, and makes flying by nonmagical means nearly impossible. A flying creature in a strong wind must land at the end of its turn or fall.

A strong wind in a desert can create a sandstorm that imposes disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

> ##### High Altitude (DMG, P.110)
>
>Traveling at altitudes of 10,000 feet or higher above sea level is taxing for a creature that needs to breathe, because of the reduced amount of oxygen in the air. Each hour such a creature spends traveling at high altitude counts as 2 hours for the purpose of determining how long that creature can travel.
>
>Breathing creatures can become acclimated to a high altitude by spending 30 days or more at this elevation. Breathing creatures can't become acclimated to elevations above 20,000 feet unless they are native to such environmentsclimates.

## Special Terrains
In the wilderness, there're places that have been touched by ancient magic or energies for centuries, creating a persistent effect on those lands. Here're some ideas for creating special terrains you can add to flesh a particular zone in the wild

### Blood Rock
This area was part of old and forgotten ceremonial sacrifices, a massive battle between armies that fought for centuries or the place where a powerful otherwordly creature was slain. The area is covered by stones with a red tone, bones covered by dirt and mud and dry blood. Any creature standing in this area can score a critical hit on a 19 or 20.
___
**Long-Term Effect:** A creature must succeed on a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw at the end of each hour. On a failed save, the creature must use its action each round to attack the nearest creature it sees. At the end of each of its turns, the creature can make a new Wisdom saving throw. On a success, the effect ends until another hour passes.

### Death Circle Ruins
This area surrounded by dark stone pillars is infused with necrotic energy. Any healing effect, such as a cure wounds spell only heals half the total amount in this area.
___
**Long-Term Effect:** A living creature must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw at the end of each hour. On a failed save, its hit point maximum is reduced by 1d6. To recover the reduced hit points, the creature must spend 1 hour outside the area covered by the death circle ruins.

### Defiled Ground
The dark energy fills this area, attracting undead creatures to this area. Any undead creature gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls while standing in the defiled ground. Additionally, when an undead is reduced to 0 hit points, roll a d20. On a 10 or higher, the undead creature rises with 1 hit point on its next turn. If an undead is reduced to 0 hit points by radiant damage, it cannot roll for rising again.
___
**Long-Term Effect:** A creature must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw at the end of each hour. On a failed save, it takes 5 necrotic damage.

### Desecrated Ground
Some cemeteries and catacombs are imbued with the unseen traces of ancient evil. An area of desecrated ground can be any size, and a detect evil and good spell cast within range reveals its presence.

Undead standing on desecrated ground have advantage on all saving throws.
___
A vial of holy water purifies a 10-foot-square area of desecrated ground when sprinkled on it, and a hallow spell purifies desecrated ground within its area.

\columnbreak

### Grab Grass
This thick, tough grass grows in areas constantly touched by Feywild magic that clings to characters and creatures that falls prone. An area covered by grab grass is considered difficult terrain, and any creature that falls prone in this area must make a Strength (Athletics) check to stand up (DC 10).

### Life Circle Ruins
This area surrounded by white stone pillars is infused with pure life energy. Every 1 minute, any living creature that begins its turn in the area regains 2 hit points.
___
**Long-Term Effect:** Any living creature that stays in this area for 1 hour can end either one disease or one condition afflicting it. The condition can be blinded, deafened, paralyzed or poisoned.

### Planetouched
Due to planar energy, a powerful artifact or some other factor, this terrain boosts certain types of energy related to one plane. Pick one damage type from the following list: Acid, Cold, Fire, Force, Lightning, Necrotic, Psychic or Radiant. Any attack that deals the chosen damage type deals an extra 1d6 damage of that type.

### Sacred Shrine
A sacred shrine is dedicated to a particular deity, infusing with divine energy the area nearby. A creature that shares the deity's alignment gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls while standing in the area covered by the shrine.
___ 
**Long-Term Effect:** A creature that has a different alignment to the deity's alignment must succeed on a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw at the end of each hour. On a failed save, it has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures that shares the deity's alignment. At the end of each of its turns, the creature can make a new Wisdom saving throw.

## Crafting
While some creature parts are useful fresh from the carcass, many require some alterations before their full potential can be realised. As crafting is a very natural complement to harvesting, an entire chapter has been devoted to its rules here.

### Crafters
In order to craft a harvested item into a usable item, it must be worked on by a skilled crafter. Crafters are specialised professionals with the knowledge to turn raw materials into something usable.

Crafters also need to have the right equipment and tools in order to craft an item, more detail in the detailled section of each craft.

### Magic Item Crafting Time and Cost

| Item Rarity | Workweeks* | Cost* |
|:-:|:-:|:-:|
| Common | 1 | 50-100 gp |
| Uncommon | 2 | 100-500 gp |
| Rare | 10 | 500-5,000 gp |
| Very Rare | 25 | 5,000-50,000 gp |
| Legendary | 50 | 50,000+ gp |

**Halved for a consumable item like a potion or scroll.*
This guide uses the rules for crafting in Xanathar’s Guide to Everything as the basis for the crafting rules presented here. More detailed guide can be found in the specific crafting section later in this chapter and are prioritized over this general rule.

##### Crafter Skill
Not all crafters are created equal. While a village blacksmith may be good at fixing scythes and making nails, if you hand them a dragon scale, the best you will get back is a ruined dragon scale and an apologetic look. If you have high quality materials, you're going to need a high quality crafter.
___
While under the base rules, anyone can craft anything so long as they meet the base proficiency requirements, crafters are differentiated based on their proficiency bonus. A crafter may craft any item whose rarity is equal to or below their proficiency bonus as outlined in the Crafting Skill Proficiency table.

> ##### Generic Ingredients
> Above and throughout the document, you will see that ingredients are referred to by generic tags like "common curative reagent" rather than specific natures. For example, you may harvest magical herbs, and find Kingsbane in the forest, a poisonous plant. For the purposes of crafting, this can be recorded simply as a "common poisonous reagent" and used as such in crafting.
>
> This greatly simplifies the process of crafting and recording what your supplies are. Narratively speaking, a skilled alchemist can render down the ingredients they want to use in the form they need.
>
> Each crafting profession will have some profession wide materials that are used in their recipes - reagents for alchemy, metals for blacksmithing, etc.
>
> Some very rare and legendary items will have specific ingredients; this is for flavor rather than balance, though is up to your DM.

##### Crafting Skill Proficiency
| Proficiency Bonus | Item Rarity | Description |
|:-:|:-:|:-:|
| +2 | Common | Usually an apprentice, assistant, or self-taught practitioner. Knows how to use the tools properly but has little skill with more difficult materials and no ability to make new ideas. |
| +3 | Uncommon | A craftsmen that serves their village or works in a specific role within their profession. Knows a few things very well, but most likely would not be able to understand the complexities of more exotic materials. |
| +4 | Rare | The highest level of skill that most ordinary people could hope to attain. Capable of establishing a good trade in a city or in service of a noble. Experienced in almost all aspects of their profession and can work with some confidence on rarer materials.
| +5 | Very Rare | While hard work and dedication is always valuable, only a few people possess the inherent talent to push the limits of their craft farther than ordinary people. These talented individuals can be considered masters of their art; capable of not just reproduction, but innovation. |
| +6 | Legendary | An absolute master of their art. Most likely was either an adventurer in their past, or learned their trade from a supernatural force, as this would be the only way for them to become accustomed to the legendary materials that they work with. Capable of crafting any item that falls under their profession. |

### Quick Summary
Each step will be outlined in more depth, but the following is serves as a summary and reference the process.

* Find the item you would like to craft on a crafting table.
* *Consult your DM to confirm that item exists and has the default rarity in their game. This system is a tool, it does not supersede worldbuilding.*
* Determine the related tool and ability on the table below:

* Use the related tool and related to skill to determine your crafting modifier using the following formula:

**Crafting Modifier =** your Related Tool proficiency bonus + your Related Ability Score modifier (your choice).

</div>

> ##### What to Count?
> Your crafting modifier includes expertise in a tool if you have it, but you cannot add any temporary bonus to it (such as guidance, Bardic Inspiration, or other similar features). In general, you should assume that no advantage or bonus applies to a crafting roll outside of the ones specified within this sytem.

* Gather the required materials.

Materials can looted from humanoids, harvested from more monster, purchased at stores, or gathered from the wilderness. The specifics of any material and where it can be found is covered in the materials section.

* Begin crafting! You can make progress in 2 hour increments. For each 2 hours spent, make a crafting roll and compare the result to the DC listed for the item.

Crafting can take place during down time, quick breaks, or even during your long rests. Plan your crafting time accordingly to the type of crafting you want to do - most can be done in small increments of 2 hours, while some (like Alchemy) need to be completed in one sitting.

An item crafting time generally depend on its potion crafting time depend on its rarity

* On failure, no progress is made. If you fail three times, the crafting fails and all materials are lost.
* On success, 2 hours of progress is made, and you can mark your progress put it aside or continue to craft.
* Once your completed progress on an item is equal to the crafting time listed, the item is complete.
* You're done! Enjoy your shiny new item!

### Item Tag Key
At some points on the tables that follow you will see some notification such as ^*^. This represents an item that is not core to 5e.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.12 | Crafting</div>

\pagebreakNum

### Crafting Time
All items have a crafting time measured in hours. Crafting is completed in 2 hour chunk. Some branches of crafting must make all their checks consecutively (like Alchemy) while some do not (like Blacksmithing or Enchanting). A crafting roll is made every 2 hours. For each two hours, make a crafting roll.

On success, you mark 2 hours of completed time. Once the completed time is equal to the crafting time, the item is complete. On failure, the crafting time is lost and no progress has been made during the 2 hours.

If you fail **three times**, the crafting is a **failure** and **all materials are lost**.

### Crafting During a Rest
During a long rest, you can make up to 2 hours of progress during a crafting project if you do nothing else during the long rest besides craft and sleep. During this time, you have disadvantage on any Wisdom (Perception) checks and a -5 to all Passive Perception checks as you are focused on your craft.

For most projects, this progress can be banked completing the project 2 hours at a time. For some types of crafting, like alchemy, you cannot make incremental progress, but you can continue for 2 additional hours of crafting before or after a long rest to get 4 hours (for example).

### Crafting Rolls
Each profession lists the related ability modifier and tool used to calculate your crafting roll modifier. In many cases, attempting to craft without the applicable tool is impossible. Your DM may allow improvised tools, and in that case the check is made with disadvantage.

Beyond the tool, most branches of crafting require a heat source, and some require more infastructure. These are generally approached logically and are at the discretion of the DM.

Here is a list of some of the additional requirements by branch:

* **Blacksmithing** can perform minor crafts with a simple heat source, but requires a forge and anvil to make new items.
* **Alchemy** and **Cooking** almost always requires a heat source.
* **Tinkering**, **Jewelcrafting**, and **Poisoncraft** sometimes require a heat source.
* **Enchanting**, **Scroll Scribing**, **Woodworking**, **Wand Whittling**, **Poisoncraft**, **Leatherworking**, **Engineering**, **Runecarving** rarely require anything besides the tools of the profession.

##### Expertise
Features that grant tool expertise (the ability to add twice your proficiency bonus to ability checks made with a tool) are calculated into your crafting roll modifier, but do **not** add to an the calculated DC the effects of that item have.

\columnbreak

##### Temporary Bonuses
A crafting roll is a special type of ability check and you cannot add temporary bonuses to your roll (such as Bardic Inspiration or the spell *guidance*) as the crafting roll represents the entire time you spend working the item.

You can gain can advantage if another player with proficiency in the related tool helps for the whole crafting time.

##### Taking 10
When you craft something, double the crafting period (from 2 hours to 4 hours per check) to "take a 10" on the crafting roll, meaning that your crafting checks are 10 + your related ability score + your related tool proficiency. This provides a floor level that you can always succeed on if you choose to take your time.

> ##### NPC Crafting
> It should always be assumed that when NPCs are crafting, they take this option, and thus craft more slowly but reliably. The slap-dash speed crafting is largely the domain of the players, though at the DM's discretion the players may convince a NPC to craft faster assuming the risk of their materials.

##### Workdays
When a character is spending all day working, they make **8 hours of progress**, and cannot exceed 8 hours working on a crafting project during a day. Players will occasionally want to work longer than 8 hours, but this fails to account for the limitations of mortals - player characters still need to eat, sleep, and will eventually lose their focus and ability to work. This is primarily implemented for balance reasons, but also helps model how much productive time a character can spend - they are not just working 8 hours straight and idling for 8 hours, but rather a model of the natural flow of a day, taking breaks, etc.

A DM can choose to overrule this and allow extreme crafting days in special circumstances, but in almost all cases working over 8 hours on a crafting project would leave a character with one or more levels of Exhaustion.

## Materials
Without materials, there is nothing to craft from. Crafting does not make things from thin air, it makes more useful things from less useful things. Gathering the materials will be the essential first step in any job. Materials are generally found in three ways.
___
**Loot & Salvaging**: Nothing is useless when you have a party of crafters. One of the main sources of materials will be the things you find - nothing is useless when you have an expert craftsman in the party.
___
**Gathered & Harvesting**: How something is gathered varies on the profession - in many cases, it can only be gathered when the opportunity arises. Dragon scales, for example, are a lot easier to gather when there is a dead dragon nearby. Be it harvesting rare herbs, monster parts, or minerals, gathering is an opportunity you won't want to pass up.
___
**Purchasing**: Rarely will everything you need to craft what you want fall into you hands without the assistance of the oldest and most powerful tool of any craftsman - money. When you don't have what you need, frequently you can buy it. For some professions, there will be a lot more materials that can be purchased, while others will rely more on the other routes.

> ##### Selling and Buying Materials
> In general, the buying price of a material is it's listed value, and its selling price is usually half of that to an interested property. 
>
> Between negotiation, market fluctuation, and DM moods, you may get better or worse prices. Note that many materials are simply junk to a party that does not have a use for them, and will only sell to interested parties that can use or resell them.
>
> Threatening to burn down a merchant's shop because they will not offer you the listed price may result in an Intimidation check, but does not change market realities and is typically not beneficial to your reputation - most merchants that have the gold to buy and sell expensive materials have dealt with adventurers before and are not easily intimidated.

The sources of materials are tied to the pillars of the game. Looting and Harvesting are tied into the combat pillar, Salvaging and Gathering are tied into the exploration pillar, and purchasing and rewards are tied into the social pillar. This provides a lot of routes to add these materials to your game based on what works best for your group.

## Types of Materials

### Reagents
Reagents are huge range of things; most often they are plants that contain some magical essence, but almost as frequently they are harvested from various magically inclined monsters. The exact source of a reagent usually does not matter beyond defining its type, as the part of the reagent used is the fragment of magic contained within that is distilled out.

Reagents are the There are many different ways to make a potion. Consequently, the materials are sorted into categories. These categories include **curative**, **reactive**, and **poisonous**. These each come in the standard material rarities: **common, uncommon, rare, very rare,** and **legendary.**

Reagents cannot be salvaged once they have been combined into another form (such as potions, essences, or ink).

> ##### Optional: Interchangeable Reagents
> All curative, reactive, and poisonous ingredients are interchangeable. This is intentional to drastically simplify the crafting process and tracking thereof. Individual names are included only to deepen the immersion of the finding and buying ingredients, and can be treated as interchangeable by their label if preferred.

### Magical Ink
While ink has many uses, crafting is mostly concerned with magical ink which has the power to hold the arcane words of scrolls. This is synthesized by alchemists from the magical properties of reagents - as it is concerned with extracting their magical properties, the exact nature of the reagents used do not effect the final ink beyond its potency.

Magical ink is not typically found or harvested on its own, though it may be found as loot, and in some instances a DM could rule that some blood collected from a fiend, celestial or dragon could be counted as such. It is generally created from reagents or purchased from alchemists that create it from reagents.

Magical Ink cannot be salvaged once they have been combined into another form (such as potions, essences, or ink).

### Essence
While reagents are substances that contain a glimmer of magical power that can be harnessed through refinement, Essences are more purified forms of magical power.

These come in three types: Arcane, Divine and Primal as well as in the five normal rarities (common, uncommon, rare, very rare, and legendary). These essences are the pure stuff of magic that makes things work.

When an essence is introduced, new reaction start within the item, and this can have unforseen consequences, the exact nature of those consequences depending on the nature of the craft, and detailled in each crafting section later.

When an item use a catalyseur, any failed crafting roll result in unforseen consequences. Roll on the mishap table to know what happen.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.12 | Crafting</div>

\pagebreakNum

You can get these by rendering down magical reagents, salvaging magic items, harvesting them from magical monsters, or through the hard work of spell casters. Or you can find them as loot from people that have already done one of those harder steps. The rules for rendering them down from materials are contained within each branch of crafting, while the rules for creating them yourself are under Enchanting, as it is their domain and skill set needed to do so.

While all branches occasionally use essences when extra magical power is needed, they are the primary material of Enchanters, and their pricing can be found in that section.

Essences can be found as loot during the courses of your adventures, but can also be harvested (from monsters), salvaged (from magical equipment), synthesized (from reagents), or created from the raw power of a spell caster, though the method is long and arduous.

Essences are flexible in their exact nature. There are many paths to each desired outcome, and this flexibility is represented in Essences. While the traditional way to make a Belt of Hill Giant Strength may call for a Hill Giant heart as its essence, and enchanting substituted a dragon heart as their primal essences may make a Belt of Dragon Strength that just has the same statistical effect.

##### Salvaging Essences
You also may be able to salvage magical essence from unwanted or broken magical items, though such a reclamation process can be difficult, and rarely results in more than a fraction of the essence infused into the original item. An item returns one essence equal to its rarity when harvested. The process takes 2 hours to complete, and does not work if the item is currently attuned to any creature. An essence can only be salvaged from permanent magic items; a permanent magic item is one that recharges or does not have a limitation on its charges or uses. A magic item with charges or uses can only be salvaged while it is at full charges or uses.

The item becomes nonmagical after the essence is salvaged from it. If it required magic to function or exist, it is destroyed.

##### Synthesizing Essences
In addition to harvesting essences from magical monsters fully intact, a more approachable and incremental way is to combine several reagents to get an essence. You have to combine three reagents of the same rarity to gain one essence of that rarity. You can combine essences in the following ways:

This process takes 4 hours, and requires alchemy supplies and a heat source.

\columnbreak

##### Making Essences
Another potential source of an Essence is being created by a spellcaster. This process is long and arduous, and typically only suited to downtime. A creature with the spell casting feature can create 1 essence during 1 workweek (5 days, 8 hours a day); this process cannot be completed faster and for the duration they are considered to have spent all of their spell slots.

the rarity of essenc created this way is determined by their crafter skill. For instance, a level 3 sorcerer can only create Common essence, a level 8 bard can create an uncommon essence. Legendary essences require special rituals requiring more casters and take far longer — they are exceedingly hard to make.

The type of essence produced depends on the source of the spell casting levels as per the table below:

> ##### Special Cases Explained
> - **Sorcerers** produce a type based on their subclass; Dragon or Wild makes Primal, Divine Soul makes Divine, and Shadow makes Arcane. 
> - **Warlocks** likewise produce a type based on their subclass; Archfey makes Primal, Celestial makes Divine, and all others make Arcane. 
>___
> Half caster can only generate essence of a half of their proficiency rarity (rounded down), for instance a lvl 8 paladin can only create a common essence.
>
> 1/3 caster can only generate essence of a third of their proficiency rarity (rounded down).

<div class='footnote'>Ch.12 | Crafting</div>

\pagebreakNum

### Ingots
Ingots are chunks of metal that can be used to craft things. They are assumed to be relatively pure weigh 2. The default ingot listed in all the crafting tables is an ingot of Steel. These cost 2 gp per ingot. There are cheaper metals (such as Iron); pure Iron cannot be used to craft weapons and armor, but can be used for other items, resulting in a cheaper item. On the other end of the spectrum, more advanced metals such as Mithral and Adamantine can be used conferring special properties, but being far more difficult to work with and costing more.

##### Salvaging Ingots
Metal items can be converted back to ingots quite efficiently, but require a forge to do so. With a forge and 2 hours per item, a metal item can be rendered down into its component ingots. Advanced metals may require special tools to smelt.

### Hides & Leathers
Hides, scales, and carapaces all tend to be harvested from monsters. Leather is a product of hides that can be processed from what it is harvested from the monster.

The DM determines if a monster provides hide, scale, or carapace. Hides do not come in different sizes, rather larger creatures simply provide more hides, and monsters that are not large enough to produce one hide provide only hide scraps.

Scales are likewise abstracted - each increment is simply an arbitrary unit of scales that the unit of scales covers - scales can be much larger or small from different sized creatures.

The system does not attempt to say how many scales a creature provides or how many literal actual scales makes up scalemail, but rather provides a number that is then consistently used.

> ##### Processing Hides
> The process of turning hide into leather takes quite awhile (as per the crafting table), and is often something adventurers can delegate to NPCs (delivering hides to be processed) or do during downtime. If you would like a more expeditated system, there is no *balance reason* for this, and you can short the leather crafting process to taking 2 hours, it just won't be exceedingly realistic.

### Parts
The term "parts" is used to refer to gears, wires, springs, windy bits, screws, nails, and doodads. Parts can be either found or salvaged or forged from metal scraps (or even straight from ingots by a Blacksmith for those that really want to be industrial about it). The exact nature of each item making up this collection is left abstracted.

In addition, metal scraps are collections of salvaged material that generally fall into the category of things "too small to track" which can than be used for the creations of tinkerers. In addition to all of this, occasionally tinkers will use ingots... particularly ones of tin (which is their namesake, after all).

Like other crafting branches, there are also named components for more iconic pieces of gear - the stock of a crossbow, for example, or other items. The cost for these items can be found on the common component table, and are generally minor.

Lastly, Tinkerers use essences when constructing things that push beyond the mundane principles of plausibility, crafting magical properties into their inventions.

> ##### Named Components
> In almost all cases, named components (such as a "wooden stock" for a crossbow) can be simply abstracted out in the a minor cost, but, as always, the level of abstraction is up to the DM.

##### Salvaging parts
The other main way to acquire parts is to salvage it. This can be determined by your DM what can be salvaged, but in general common items provide parts, uncommon or expensive items may provide fancy parts, and esoteric parts is found only from esoteric sources at your DMs discretion. Tools, vehicles, and complex items generally return 1d4 metal scraps and 1d4 parts for a small or smaller item, 2d6 metal scraps for medium sized item, and 3d8 metal scraps for large sized item. and more for larger items, though may return less of rare types of parts.

### Wood
Commonly available in its lowest quality (firewood), higher quality woods are often found rather or in exotic locations. Wooden branches (including wood scraps) are assumed to be of a useful wood that can be worked, while firewood covers everything else, with more useful woods falling into categories such as "quality branches" or rarer options. Wooden scraps are assumed to be scraps of wooden branch quality wood, and consequently cannot be salvaged from firewood.

##### Salvaging
For the most part, wood cannot be easily salvaged. Wood carving is not necessarily a reversible process, and wood cannot be melted down.

You can render wooden crafted product into wooden scraps equal to 4 x the number of branches used to create it.

> ##### Quality Branch
> A quality branch refers to one that can be made it use more precious objects, particularly bows. It is nonmagical in nature, but typically yew when dealing with bows, though ash, mulberry, elm, okay, hickory hazel, and maple can be used under broader definitions.

## Harvesting and Gathering
The various monsters plaguing the land of Toriel are, in addition to a constant threat, a great source of resources for the craftsmen, their thick skins making high quality leather, their feathers a valuable stuffing, their crushed bones used for various potions.

Adventurers who encounter monsters during their adventures can try to extract these materials, and thus recover them for later use.
___
The act of removing useful body parts from a creature is referred to as harvesting. In general, only creatures that have died may be harvested, but there may be some exceptions based on context.

### Appraising

"Half of a harvester's job is mental, rather than physical. It takes a keen eye, and an analytical mind to fully grasp the nuance of slicing open a fresh kill and reaping the bounty inside. Take your time to evaluate your prize before chopping into it; your wallet will thank me later."

<div class="credit" >—Darvik, Darvik's notes </div>

</div>

Before a player begins hacking and butchering their hunt, they may instead choose to take a moment first and appraise the creature to be harvested. To do this, they must spend 1 minute examining the creature to be harvested and then roll an Intelligence check, adding their proficiency bonus if they are proficient in the skill corresponding to that creature (see table below). For example, when appraising a banderhobb (which is a monstrosity), the check would be an Intelligence (Nature) check, while appraising a meenlock (which is a fey) would require an Intelligence (Arcana) check.

The DC of the check is equal to

**Harvesting DC =** 8 + the Harvested Creature’s CR (treating any CR less than 1 as 0).

</div>

Success on this check grants the player full knowledge of any useful materials on the creature, the DC requirement to harvest those materials, any special requirements to harvest them, and any potential risks in doing so. In addition, any harvesting check made on that creature by that player is rolled at advantage. A character may only attempt one appraisal check per creature.

#### A Dangerous Task
After apprainsing a monster, you may be warned of danger involved with the harvesting. It is wise to find a way to protect yourself against those danger when harvesting part of a monster.
___
For instance, a giant toad as very poisonous and acidic insides that can still damage you even once killed, so it's wise to cure their corpse. This can be done by either dashing the corpse with a vial of antitoxin or blessing yourself with a quick protection from poison spell before getting to work.
___
With this kind of monster, if you skip this step any fail checks later down the line end up dealing damage associated with the monster you're working on. The damage depend on the CR of the monster you're working on and is equal to a number of d4 equal to half the creature's CR. For example, Failing to harvest an uncured Mimic adhesive will deal 1d4 acid damage.

#### Splitting up the responsibilities
Some party members may prefer to let one character handle the appraisal of materials, while another more dextrous character handles the actual harvesting. In this scenario, all benefits of appraising a creature are conferred to the player doing the harvesting, so long as the player that performed the appraising assists the harvesting player through the whole duration of the harvest.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.12 | Crafting</div>

### Harvesting 
<div class="memo3">

"The thing we've all bought this book to learn: harvesting! Here you will learn the most noble of traditions, dating back to our roots as hunter-gatherers. Read this section well and commit it to memory, for harvesting is the true meat of this book (pardon the pun)."

<div class="credit" >—Darvik, Darvik's notes </div>

</div>

Depending on the part to Harvest, a character may make a number of check. the nature of tose check depend on the part to harvest, and are at the Dungeon Master Discretion.

This check reflects a character’s ability to not only properly remove the intended item without damaging it, it also involves any ancillary requirements of the harvest such as proper preservation and storage techniques.

* Harvesting sacks, adhesive, mucus and other similar substances require a Dexterity check, proficiency with Alchemist supplies or sleight of hand allow you to add your proficiency bonus to the roll.
* Harvesting hide, skin, chitinous plate and other similar skin require a Strength check, proficiency with Leatherworker Tools allow you to add your proficiency bonus to the roll.
* Harvesting stomach, tongue, muscles and other similar part require either a Dexterity or Strength check (your choice).
* Gems require a Strength check and Jeweler's tool. Harvesting gem incrusted in a monster without this tool is impossible. Proficiency with Jeweler's tool allow you to add your proficiency bonus to the roll.
* Plants, flowers, seed and other similar parts require a Dexterity check, proficiency with Herbalist Kit allow you to add your proficiency bonus to the roll.
* Gear, pipe and other similar parts require a Strength check, proficiency with Tinkerer's Tool or Smith's Tools allow you to add your proficiency bonus to the roll.

Failing those check break the part you were trying to harvest. For instance, failing to harvest a poisonous sack might mean you pierced it. The DC to harvest the material is the harvesting DC.
___
Only one harvesting attempt may be made on a creature. Failure to meet a creature harvesting DC assume that the item that you were trying to harvest was made unsalvageable due to the harvester’s incompetence. Additionaly, if the body wasn't correctly cured, or if you weren't protected, failing to meet a creature harvesting DC may also result in damage.
___
For most creatures, the time it takes to harvest a material is counted in minutes and is equal to the DC of that material divided by 5 (minimum 1). For huge creatures however, it is equal in DC of that material, while for gargantuan creatures, it is equal to the DC of that material multiplied by 2.

\columnbreak

#### Particularly violent deaths

"It is a shame, but quite understandable, that no one would want to buy a pelt ridden with slash wounds and burn marks. That is why lately, I have taken to wrestling my quarry with my bare hands. It makes for much more pristine carcasses, and much heartier exercise."

<div class="credit" >—Darvik, Darvik's notes </div>

</div>

This guide assumes that most creatures you attempt to harvest died in direct combat and thus already accounts for the idea that you are harvesting creatures that are not in pristine condition. However, some deaths are more violent than others and can make harvesting useful materials either extremely difficult or downright impossible. Such examples include burning by fire, dissolving from acid, or being completely crushed under a pillar of stone. In these cases, raise the DC for harvesting any of that creature’s materials by 5. Alternatively, the DM may decide that well orchestrated hunts result in a carcass that is prime for harvesting, such as creatures killed mostly through psychic damage, or those killed in one clean attack. In these cases, the DM should lower the DC for harvesting any of that creature’s materials by 5.
___
Furthermore, the DM may adjudicate whether or not some of a creature’s individual materials have been made useless due to effects imposed by them in the course of their death. Examples may include blood being tainted from poisoning, or their pelt being worthless due to excessive slashing/piercing damage.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.12 | Crafting</div>

\pagebreakNum

#### Carcass Degradation
This guide mostly assumes that harvesting takes place on a freshly killed corpse and that little to no decomposition has yet occurred. However, in some cases, a player may desire to harvest a creature that has been dead for quite a while. In these cases, the DM may declare that certain body parts have already withered away and become unharvestable or may decide to increase the DC’s of all harvestable materials as if the creature had died a particularly violent death. If corpse decomposition is too advanced, it is entirely within the DM’s right to deny harvesting the creature altogether.

As a quick guide, the following timeline may be observed to decide on decomposition levels:

* **1 hour after death:** The carcass’ hide has ruptured from bloating and has become useless.
* **1 day after death:** The carcass’ blood has become too tainted to be useful, and soft tissues like the eyes have putrefied.
* **3 days after death:** The carcass’ internal organs have decomposed
* **7 days after death:** The carcass has undergone extensive purification and none of its soft tissue remains harvestable.
___
**Note:** Harder materials like bones, teeth, claws, and hair do not generally undergo decomposition and will remain usable indefinitely.

\columnbreak

> ##### Remnants 
> Some creature leave behind no body on death, like Elementals, Celestials, or Fiends. Those creature leave behind Remnants.

### Harvesting Table
In the follow pages, you'll find table listing material harvested from various monster kind depending on their CR. The reagent and catalyseur offered in those table serve in various crafting, and are a way to not have to bother with individual and specific monster part description.
___
But despite this general solution, some monster specific harvesting material may be aquired after a harvest at the DM's discretion.

### Gathering Tables
Many materials can simply be found growing in the wild, and can be gathered by someone that knows what to look for and spends the time doing just that. When traveling at a slow pace through wilderness for 8 hours or more (i.e. not urban land or farmland) you can make a gathering check, but have disadvantage on the check to harvest anything found.

If you dedicate 2 hours to gathering without traveling, you can make one checks (without disadvantage).

##### Gather Reagents
Reagents are harvested with making a Wisdom ability check. If have an **Herbalism** kit and are proficient with it, you can add your proficiency modifier to the roll.

##### Search for Materials
Materials can be harvested with your choice of a Strength, Dexterity, or Wisdom ability check. If you have proficiency with **Survival**, you can add your proficiency modifier to the roll.

##### Hunt Game
Food can be gathered with with your choice of a Dexterity or Wisdom ability check. If you have proficiency with **Survival**, you can add your survival modifier to the roll.

## Alchemy
Alchemy is a crafting art that almost all adventures have some degree of interest in the results of. The source of the ever in demand Healing Potions, it is a versatile trade that fuels (sometimes quite literally) the adventuring life.
___
It doesn't take many experiences with the powers of potions for an adventure to consider if they can get away with simmering a healing potion next to the stew over that night's cooking fire... of course it's easier said than done for the result of such things to come away not poisonous.

### Quick Reference
While each step will go into more depth, the quick reference allows you to at a glance follow the steps to make a potion in its most basic form:
* Select a **potion** that you would like to craft from the **"Potions Crafting Table"**.
* Acquire the items listed in the **materials** column for that potion.
* Use your **Alchemy Supplies** tool to craft the potion using the number hours listed in the **Crafting Time** column. **Alchemy items must be crafted in a single session.**
* For **every 2 hours**, make a **crafting roll** of 1d20 + your Intelligence + your proficiency bonus with Alchemy Supplies. You can abort the craft after a bad crafting roll if you wish, this counts as a failure. 
* On success, you mark 2 hours of completed time. Once the completed time is equal to the crafting time, the magic item is complete. On failure, the crafting time is lost and no progress has been made during the 2 hours. If you fail 3 times, the crafting is a failure and all materials are lost.

\columnbreak

### Tool of the craft
Alchemy works using **Alchemy Supplies**. Attempting to craft a potion without these will almost always be made with disadvantage, and proficiency with these allows you to add your proficiency to any alchemy crafting roll.

Alchemy uses your choice of your Intelligence.

> ##### Herbalist's Limited Alchemy
> While herbalism is primarily used for gathering herbs, a creature with proficiency with Herbalism Kits has a limited proficiency in creating potions in addition to gathering herbs. You can use proficiency with an Herbalism Kit in place of Alchemy supplies when creating healing potions, antidotes, antitoxins, and potions of poison.
>___
> When crafting in this way, you use an Herbalism Kit and proficiency with it in place of Alchemy Supplies. This crafting otherwise works the same as using Alchemy Supplies.
>___
> When crafting this way, you use your Wisdom modifier in place of your Intelligence modifier.

> ##### Brewer's Limited Alchemy
> While brewing is primarily used to create beverage, a creature with proficiency with Brewer's Supplies has a limited proficiency in creating potions in addition to beverage. You can use proficiency with an Brewer's Supplies in place of Alchemy supplies when creating beer, wine and similar drink with special effect.
>___
> When crafting in this way, you use your Brewer's Supplies and proficiency with it in place of Alchemy Supplies. This crafting otherwise works the same as using Alchemy Supplies.

### Shelf Life & Expired Potions
A unique attribute to alchemy, potions once crafted have a shelf life of 1 year before coming expired. This shelf life is shortened to 1 month if the potion contains any reactive ingredient.
___
If an expired potion is used or consumed within double its shelf life, roll a d4. On a 1, you become poisoned for 1 minute. On a 2 or 3, the potion will work with reduced effect; it's duration will be halved if it had a duration, and damage or healing it dealt with by halved. On a 4, it works as expected.
___
Any potion that is older than twice its shelf life has no effect besides causing the imbiber to become poisoned for 1 minute.

### Crafting Roll
Putting that together means that when you want to work on Alchemy, your crafting roll is as follows:

**Alchemy Modifier =** your Alchemy Supplies tool proficiency bonus + your Intelligence Modifier.

</div>

##### Success and Failure
For Alchemy, after you make the crafting roll and succeed marks your progress on a crafting project. If you succeed, you make 2 hours of progress toward the total crafting item (and have completed one of the required checks for making an item). Checks for Alchemy must be consecutive, meaning that if you wish to continue after a failed craft, you need to extend your crafting time.
___
Failure means that no progress is made during that time. Once an item is started, even if no progress is made, the components reserved for that item can only be recovered via salvage. If you fail three times, all progress and materials are lost and can no longer be salvaged.

#### Draught of Damnation
*Potion, rare*

If there are multiple options at that Challenge Rating, roll to determine which option is selected).

When the effect ends and revert to your normal form, you take 1d6 necrotic damage equal to the CR of the fiend who's form you assumed as the toxins of pure evil attempt to destroy your body before relinquishing control of it. If this damage kills you, your soul is dragged to the realm of the fiends by malignant will of the fiend.

#### Dreamflower Beer
*Potion, uncommon*

During its sleep the creature has the most vivid erotic dreams, more realistic than life and fulfilling all its darkest fantasies. When it wakes up, the creature remembers the dreams perfectly and must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, gaining a level of exhaustion on failure.

***Cursed.*** The dreams induced by the wine are so intense that reality pales to compare, letting the cursed creature eternally unsatisfied. Until the curse is removed the creature gains a form of indefinite madness "I'll do everything I can to relive these dreams again".

#### Potion of Cruor
*Potion, uncommon/rare/very rare*
___
You regain hit dice when ou drink this potion. The number of hit dice restored depends on the potion’s rarity, as shown in the Potions of Cruor table.

When the effect ends, you must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or gain a random form of long-term madness (roll on the Long-Term Madness table on page 260 of the Dungeon Master's Guide). There is a 25 percent chance that you benefit from the spell commune while under the influence this madness.

#### Potion of Fireball
*Potion, uncommon*
___
The liquid in this vessel swirls and stirs violently, even when at rest. The glass feel almost too hot to the touch. The potion closely resembles a potion of firebreathing, to the point where it may cause some confusion in the heat of the battle.

#### Swamp Potion
*Potion, uncommon*
___
This concoction smells like dead bodies, left to rot in the swamp, the strange and nauseous green gas coming from the top when your open the potion isn't helping the overhaul bad look of this potion. If you drink it, you become immune to poison damage and you can't be poisoned, neither can you be frightened for the next hour.

#### Bottled Abyss
*Potion, Very rare*
___
This small vial has a single dose of a fuming, pitch-black poison inside of it. When a creature eats or drinks the poison, it takes 4d6 psychic damage and must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature becomes blinded and unable to sleep. When an affected creature attempts to rest, their dreams are plagued with terrible nightmares, preventing them from benefiting from a long rest. The creature can reattempt the saving throw once every 24 hours.

The poison lasts until the affected creature succeeds on a saving throw or is cured by the greater restoration, heal, or wish spell.

#### Hunter's Mutagen
*Potion, uncommon*
___
This glowing green liquid sends a creature’s antibodies into a hyperactive state. When you drink this potion, you are immune to poison and disease for one hour You also cannot contract curses like lycanthropy or mummy rot for the duration. At the end of the hour, you gain one level of exhaustion.

#### Aether Blood
*Potion, Very rare*
___
The most extravagant rumours claim the blood of a unicorn is required to make this purple substance, available in liquid form only. Whether these mythical creatures exist or not, there’s no question that Aether Blood is highly magical in nature. Glowing in the dark, it is said to significantly improve the magical attunement of the body, hence its popularity among spellcasters. It allows users to cast spells faster and detect magical manifestations more easily, among other things. However, even the most experienced spellcasters can’t bear the exhausting effects of this attunement on the body, which suffers significant premature ageing from prolonged usage. Many spellcasters carry a small reserve of Aether Blood for the most dire situations.

After consuming Aether Blood, when a creature uses a spell slot, it counts as 1 spell level higher when determining the level the spell was cast at. If the spell has no additional effects when cast at a higher level, the Aether Blood has no effect. This effect lasts for 1 hour.

If a character consumes Aether Blood a number of times equal to their Constitution modifier (minimum of 1), they become addicted to it. So a creature with a Constitution score of 16 will become addicted after consuming it for the third time. An addicted creature must consume Aether Blood once every 24 hours or have disadvantage on Constitution ability checks and saving throws. The addiction lasts until the creature is targeted with a greater restoration spell, or after 30 days of not consuming Aether Blood.

\columnbreak

#### Full Moon Extract
*Potion, Very rare*
___
Despite its poetic name, this extremely addictive powder is not produced from any component coming from the moon. According to the most common rumours, it is mostly made of dried werewolf organs. It is thus hardly surprising that its success relies on the surge of raw strength it provides to its users, making it a favored drug for many wrestlers, boxers, and soldiers. However, prolonged use is highly risky as it causes a strong addiction combined with an increasing inability to distinguish friend from foe. It is not known whether this side-effect exists by intent or not, but the fact remains that Full Moon users most often end up killed by their companions or local authorities when bloodlust overtakes them.

Upon consuming Full Moon Extract, a creature's Strength score becomes 19 (if it was not already higher). Additionally, the creature gains advantage on all Strength ability checks and saving throws. This effect lasts for 1 hour.

If a character consumes Full Moon Extract a number of times equal to their Constitution modifier plus 1 (minimum of 1), they become addicted to it. So a creature with a Constitution score of 16 will become addicted after consuming it for the fourth time. An addicted creature must consume Full Moon Extract every 24 hours or have disadvantage on Dexterity ability checks and saving throws. The addiction lasts until the creature is targeted with a greater restoration spell, or after 30 days of not consuming Full Moon Extract.

A character who uses full moon extract while addicted to it must succeed on a DC 6 Charisma saving throw or be overcome by violent urges. A character who fails the save is compelled to attack the nearest living creature they can see until the effects of the extract wear off.

If you die while affected by this potion, you spring back to life with a burst of radiant energy at the start of your next turn. You regain hit points equal to half your hit point maximum and each creature of your choice that is within 30 feet of you takes 5d8 radiant damage and is blinded until the end of your turn.

The potion can also be administered to a creature that has died within the last minute as an action, immediately triggering its effect.

### Concoctions
#### Alchemical Napalm
*Concoction, common*
___

*Explosive, rare*
___

While poisoned in this way, the creature can't maintain concentration on a spell or any other effect that requires concentration. The poisoned creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

#### Dwarven Alcohol
*Explosive, common*
___
Only dwarves really know if the name of this liquid explosive is a joke or not, but must assume it is an acquired taste. An explosively flammable liquid that comes in a flask, this flask can be splashed across a 5 foot square within 5 feet. Once splashed, it can be ignited by 1 or more fire or lightning damage it explodes in a plume of fire, dealing 2d4 fire damage to all creatures within 5 feet of the container, or within a square that has been soaked with it.

#### Powder Keg
*Explosive, common*
___
These small wooden barrels are filled with highly volatile gun powder, then magically sealed for easy transport. Setting fire to a keg requires one action and a lit torch, match, or similar magical effect. Once set on fire, a powder keg explodes at the end of the round it is lit, dealing 1d10 fire damage to creatures and objects within 10 feet of it. A successful DC 12 Dexterity saving throw halves the damage.

#### Grenade, Smoke
*Explosive, common*
___

#### Skull Bomb
*Explosive, Uncommon*
___

### Alchemy Modifiers
The following are alchemical modifiers that can applied to potion. All alchemical modifiers require approval from the DM if the modifier will work with a given potion or creation.

| Modifier      | Difficulty Modifier |  Effect |
|:----------:|:-------------------:|:-------------:|:------------:|
| Aerosol | +8                     | Require two additional reactive reagents of equal rarity to the rarest reagent of the potion. Rather than drinking it, when uncorked or broken (as an action) it effects all creatures in a 5 foot radius as if they'd consumed it. |
| Celestial | +3 | Requires an uncommon catalyseur and an uncommon curative reagent. Adds the effect of *lesser restoration* to the potion. |
| Divine | +6 | Requires a rare catalyseur and a rare curative reagent. Adds the effect of *greater restoration* to the potion. |
| Expansive | +5 | Requires an additional reactive reagent of equal rarity to the rarest reagent of the potion. Expands the area of effect of any area of effect the potion has by 5 feet. | 
| Insidious | +3 | The effect of the potions becomes shrouded from magic such as *identify*. You can make the potion appear as another potion of the same rarity. Another alchemist can indentify it by making an Alchemy Check against your Alchemy DC |

### Additional Materials
You can simply load more reagents into any potion, increasing its potency in different ways, though it increases the difficulty. You can make a "custom potion" simply by using these modifiers with no base potion. When you do so, the base DC is 8.

## Blacksmithing
Blacksmithing is a popular professional interest of two sorts of adventurers: those that want to hit things with heavy metal objects, and those that want a heavy metal object between them and the thing hitting them.

While often relying on the town blacksmith to do their work for them is a fine option, rolling up your sleeves and doing the work yourself can allow you to express your creativity... and may save you a few coins in the process.

Blacksmithing is slow hard work, but has a higher tolerance for failure than most, and is more dependent on knowing your material, as the templates you work from tend to be common across many of them.

### Quick Reference
While each step will go into more depth, the quick reference allows you to at a glance follow the steps to make a blacksmith item in its most basic form:
* Select the **item** that you would like to craft from any of the **Blacksmithing Crafting Tables**.
* Acquire the items listed in the **materials** column for that item.
* Use your **Blacksmithing Tools**  tool to craft the option using the number hours listed in the **Crafting Time** column.
* For **every 2 hours**, make a **crafting roll** of 1d20 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency bonus with a Blacksmithing Tools. 
* **On success**, you mark 2 hours of completed time. Once the completed time is equal to the crafting time, the item is complete.

\columnbreak

* **On failure**, the crafting time is lost and no progress has been made during the 2 hours. If you fail **3 times in a row**, the crafting is a failure and all materials are lost.

### Related Tool
Blacksmithing works using **Blacksmithing Tools**. Attempting to craft an blacksmithing item without will often be impossible, though a DM may let you use makeshift tools to make a check with disadvantage. Proficiency blacksmith's tools allows you to add your proficiency to any Blacksmithing crafting roll.

While Blacksmiths can benefit from their skills in small ways such as sharpening their weapons and retrofitting their gear on the go, many of their crafting options require a fully equipped Forge; a fully equipped Forge entails forge, anvil, and blacksmith's tools.

> ##### Magical Forges
> The world of D&D is a fantastical place with many wonders; sometimes you may find locations that have been constructed in such a way as to leverage powerful primal powers in the forging technique - a forge at the heart of volcano or atop an ever frozen glacial, which might imbue items crafted there with special properties.

### Crafting Roll
Putting that together that means that when you would like to smith an item, your crafting roll is as follows:

**Blacksmithing Modifier** = your Blacksmiths' Tools proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier

</div>

<div class='footnote'>Ch.12 | Crafting</div>

\pagebreakNum

##### Success and Failure
For Blacksmithing, after you make the crafting roll and succeed marks your progress on a crafting project. If you succeed, you make 2 hours of progress toward the total crafting item (and have completed one of the required checks for making an item). Checks for Blacksmithing do not need to be immediately consecutive. Failure means that no progress is made during that time. Once an item is started, even if no progress is made, the components reserved for that item can only be recovered via salvage.

If you fail three times, all progress and materials are lost and can no longer be salvaged.

### Blacksmithing Materials

### Valuable Gear
In some cases, you may want to make something that is more valuable. While selling more valuable gear may be quite difficult, as is often said, magic has expensive tastes. Many magic items that an Enchanter might want require items of a certain value.

The easiest way to increase the cost is to make the item of rarer materials, but there are other ways if that's not an option. Here are some additional modifiers you can apply to crafting blacksmithing items purely to make them more valuable. You can add one more of these modifiers, each modifier added increases difficult further.

\columnbreak

### Maintenance & Modifications
While the primary purpose of Blacksmithing is to forge armor and weapons from metal, for an adventurer such events are important milestones that generally will not occur everyday. The following are some tasks that require proficiency with Blacksmith's Tools that provide a more day-to-day utility to the proficiency, giving them minor ways to enhance or adapt their gear.

These are minor crafts can be completed in 2 hours with the expenditure of 5 gold worth of materials. They can be done as part of a long rest, but have limitations the normally crafted items do not (such as a maximum stockpile of minor crafts).

The following are "minor crafting options" for Blacksmiths:

##### Modify Armor

While the field crafting of armor is often not possible, you can make smaller adjustments on. Over the course of two hours, can turn a set of plate armor into a half plate or a breastplate, refit a set of heavy or medium armor to fit another user that is equal in size or smaller than the original user.

##### Modify Weapon
Every adventure has slightly different preferences in their gear, and your skills allow you make slight modifications to nonmagical weapons made of metal. These modifications take 2 hours, require a heat source, and require you to pass a DC 14 blacksmithing tool's check (on failure, the weapon is damaged and has -1 to it's attack rolls until fixed). You can perform on of the following modifications:

* You can silver the weapon (requires 5 silver scraps, doubled for two handed weapons).

##### Repair Gear

Sometime in the course of adventuring, weapons or armor will become severely damaged, suffering a penalty to it's attack rolls or AC. Over the course of two hours you can repair this damage, though at the discretion of the DM you may need other materials to perform this task if it is heavily damaged. Weapons that are entirely broken (such as a snapped sword) are generally beyond simple repair.

##### Material Modifiers

| Metal      | DC Modifier | Weapon Effect | Armor Effect |

Easier for Enchanters to Enchant. |
| Shadow Steel | +8 | When weilding a weapon made of Shadow Steel, you have advantage on attack rolls made against any target wearing medium or heavy armour. A creature hit by a Shadow Steel Blade must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, becoming stunned until the end of its next turn on a failed save. | — |

### Beyond the System
While blacksmithing allows for a huge amount of custom creation, there will always be new things beyond the system.

The following is some guidelines for how to make something beyond the system.

* Trivial items should be composed of metal scraps, and have a DC in the range of 8-12. These represent things blacksmiths can easily make. Common items should require ingots, and have a DC of 12-18 depending if they are simple or exotic. Uncommon and rarer items should have uncommon and rarer materials matching their rarety.
* Blacksmithing alone can make magical weapons only to the extent that magical components are used.
* If you would like Blacksmithing alone to make fully magical swords, you can largely just take the materials from an equivalent enchanting recipe and add them to materials of the weapon, and than take the higher of the difficulty and crafting time of the projects.

> ##### Work Together and be Reasonable
> The system is, by it's nature, extremely extensible. Great pains have been taken to make things as "balanced" as possible. But this doesn't mean the rules transcend common sense. As a player, tell your DM what you want to make and be open to adjustments to how it would work. As a DM, tell players how their projects will work from the start, and be open to the idea they can make cool things... these crafted items are part of their "loot" and don't need to be "power neutral" as long as they aren't breaking anything.

## Cooking

### Quick Reference
While each step will go into more depth, the quick reference allows you to at a glance follow the steps to make a potion in its most basic form:
* Acquire a fresh **ingredient** by harvesting or finding it.
* Review the **Recipe Tables** for **Feasts, Snacks** or **Rations** that ingredient would qualify for, and gather the other materials needed listed in the **Materials** column.
* Use your **Cooking Utensils** tool to craft the option using the number hours listed in the **Crafting Time** column, or during a long rest using the crafting camp action if the crafting times is 2 hours or less. **Meals must be crafted in a single crafting session.** All meals require a heat source (such as a campfire).
* For **every 2 hours**, make a **crafting roll** of 1d20 + your Wisdom modifier + your proficiency bonus with Cooking Utensils. You can abort the craft after a bad crafting roll if you wish, this counts as a failure. 
* If the **average** of these checks is **equal to or higher** than the value listed in the **Difficulty column** for that potion, you **succeed**. If it is lower, you **fail** and lose all materials.
* On success, you mark 2 hours of completed time. Once the completed time is equal to the crafting time, the magic item is complete. On failure, the crafting time is lost and no progress is made. If you fail 3 times, the crafting is a failure and all materials are lost.

\columnbreak

### Related Tool & Ability Score
Cooking works using **Cooking Utensils**. Attempting to craft a meal without these will almost always be made with disadvantage, and proficiency with these allows you to add your proficiency to any cooking crafting roll.

Cooking uses your **Wisdom** modifier.

### Duration
The duration a meal remains edible depends on the type of meal made. A **feast** must be consumed within an hour, a **snack** lasts for 1 day, and **ration** lasts 1 month.

### Ingredients
The material for cooking are **fresh ingredients** and **supplies**. A fresh ingredient is something you harvest that can increase the quality of your food and sometimes provide supernatural boosts beyond mere satiation. Staples include seasoning and spices, but also things like flour and turnips - food that lasts awhile and can cooked into perfectly fine meals, but have no benefits you wouldn't expect from eating a good meal.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.12 | Crafting</div>

\pagebreakNum

> ##### General System, Specific Examples
> Like with all aspects, this crafting system does not attempt to provide systematic specific examples (though they are provided in the appendix), but rather a system that allows you to know the outcome of anything you could cook. For example, a party could acquire 1 common fresh ingredient by harvesting a Hook Horror, and than combine that with 1 common supplies to cook either Hook Turkey Sandwiches or Murder Chicken Tenders, but the benefit from either example would still fall into a Monstrosity Meat Quality Meal category (one step above standard rations).

##### Ingredient Expiration

Normal Ingredients expire very quickly, and must be used within 24 hours of being harvested or they become unusable. Preserved rations would fall into the staples category and cannot typically be used to cook anything besides basic meals. The ability to gain any sort of magical benefit is linked its freshness; even will prepared preserved foods provide only the benefit of a Basic Meal (which is a satisfying and good tasting meal, but its benefits are not otherwise magical).

Unlike Fresh Ingredients, Staples last significantly longer and do not need to have their expiration tracked for the purposes of this system.

##### Satiation

The magical benefits you get consuming rare and more magical foods cannot be gained again until 24 hours have passed any particular food. When combined with the ingredient expiration above, this typically means that any ingredient collected is only good for a single meal - this is intentionally; you can harvest more if you wish, but cooking by its natural is a profession of fleeting achievement and fickle opportunity.

### Crafting Roll
Putting that together that means that when you would like to create a meal, your crafting roll is as follows:

**Cooking Modifier** = your Cooking Utensils tool proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier.

</div>

##### Success and Failure
For Cooking, after you make the crafting roll and succeed marks your progress on a crafting project. If you succeed, you make 2 hours of progress toward the total crafting item (and have completed one of the required checks for making an item). Checks for Cooking must be consecutive, meaning that if you wish to continue after a failed craft, you need to extend your crafting time.

Failure means that no progress is made during that time. Once an item is started, even if no progress is made, the components reserved for that item can only be recovered via salvage. If you fail three times, all progress and materials are lost and can no longer be salvaged.

\columnbreak

### Basic Cooking
While the rules present a handful of ways to use cooking for more exotic ends, the most common application of cooking is just to produce an edible meal on during a long rest - something any adventuring group would welcome; this is called a Quality Meal, and provides greater benefit than rations, though the benefits it provides are not magical, and merely stem from it being a satisfying meals. You can do so by expending 1 fresh ingredient of any type and 1 common supplies for up to 5 people, or by spending common supplies per person being cooked for. These materials must have been purchased within the last week.

See Common Feast^*^

### Purchasing Materials

Due the rules on ingredient freshness, typically speaking ingredients cannot be purchased in a way that is relevant for cooking recipes. You can purchase Supplies (of any type) that can be used to make Basic Meals.

| Rarity     | Material Price | 
| :---------:|:----------------:|
| Supplies (Salt, Staples, etc) | 1 gp   |
| Uncommon Supplies (Uncommon <br>spices, oils, rare seeds, etc)  | 10 gp |
| Rare Supplies (Hard to <br> luxury goods)     | 100 gp |

### Harvesting Ingredients

Unlike other things you can harvest from monsters, there's little chance of failure in harvesting - there's generally more to harvest than be meaningfully used.

You can consume Monstrosity, Dragon, Beast and Plant Type creatures for magical benefits; your DM may allow other creature types as special delicacies at their discretion.

| Monster CR | Gathered Ingredients |
|:---:|:---:|:-----------:|
|  1/4 to 4  | Common |
|  5-8 |  Uncommon |
|  9-12 |  Rare |

### Feasts
##### Common Feast
*Food, feast, common*

Up to 5 creatures can consume this feast within an hour of it being prepared. After consuming this hearty meal, you become satiated for the next 24 hours. This is a hearty meal well surpassing the benefits of normal meals or rations, and each creature that consumes it regains an additional hit die during the next long rest.

If cooked by a creature with proficiency in Cooking Utensils, creatures that consume this feast regain additional hit dice equal to the cook's proficiency bonus during the next long rest instead.

##### Dragon Turtle Bisque
*Food, feast, uncommon*
___
Up to 5 creatures can consume this feast within an hour of it being prepared. After consuming this bisque, you become satiated for the next 24 hours. You gain the ability to breathe both air and water for the next 24 hours.

##### Feast
*Food, feast, uncommon/rare/very rare/legendary*
___
Up to 5 creatures can consume this feast within an hour of it being prepared. After consuming this hearty meal, you become satiated for the next 24 hours. You gain the benefits for a common feast, but can gain additional benefits by trading hit dice as part of your next long rest after consuming this meal - these hit dice are consumed after calculating how many you would have after the rest (including the benefits of the feast), but you can trade hit dice in this way you would normally lose if you have more than your maximum hit dice.

You can trade hit dice in this way up to a number equal to your proficiency bonus. The benefits scale based on the rarity on the feast.

| Benefit [Uncommon/Rare/Very Rare/Legendary] |
|:--------------:|:-----------------------------------------:|
| Roll a [d4/d6/d8/d12] per hit die traded and gain temporary hit points equal to the value rolled. |
| Trade three hit dice for an additional spell slot of [1st/2nd/3rd/4th/5th] level |
| Gain a point point that can be expended like Inspiration by trading [5/4/3/2] hit dice per point. |

Any benefit from a feast fades after 24 hours.

> ##### How Feast Spent Dice Work
> If, for example, at level 4, if you start a rest with 2 hit dice, and consume a meal that would give an additional hit die, you would end the rest with 5, but your maximum is 4, so you would lose the 5th. This allows you to spend that extra fifth hit die for additional benefits. You could spend 3 hit dice on these benefits, but doing so would mean you only have 2 hit dice *after* the long rest.

##### Meat Feast
*Food, feast, uncommon/rare/very rare/legendary*
___
Up to 5 creatures can consume this feast within an hour of it being prepared. After consuming this hearty meal, you become satiated for the next 24 hours. Consuming the essence of a properly prepared creature of great power confers some of its power to you while satiated by the feast.

You can add +1/+2/+3/+4 to ability checks and saving throws of the prepared creatures highest stat (if multiple stats are tied, the cook chooses which when preparing the meal). Alternatively, the cook can bring forth exotic properties of the creature, conferring one trait of the cooked animal to those that consume it as per the following table (this replaces the benefit to ability checks and saves):

The details from the creature boon can be found on the creature stat block. The cook must be aware of the creature's property to make the meal imbue that property, and the DM may adjust the property in cases where it would not work for players or be too powerful as written.  At the DMs discretion, any of ability can be added to this list.

##### Heroes' Feast
*Food, feast, rare*
___
A magnificent spread of food. Cooking this has the effect of casting the spell *heroe's feast*, expect it's made of real food and not poofed by into existence strange magics.

### Snacks

##### Dryad Greens
A dryad's "hair" consists of lustruous leafy greens that make a vibrant improvised salad. Some common vinegar and flecks of meat can add sharpness and texture in a matter of minutes.

For the next 24 hours; you can communicate with beasts and plants as if you shared a language. The complexity of what you communicate might be limited by their intelligence.

##### Ettercap, Steamed
Though a favorite meal of tirumphant fey, softened ettercap spinnerets smell a tad too "rubbery" for other creatures. Pinch your nose and they're not much different from a giant spider, though.

For the next 10 minutes, whenever you are in contact with a web, rope or similar structure, you know the exact location of anyother creature in contact with that web.

##### Flame Breathing Jerky
*Food, snack, uncommon*

A tough jerky with exotic flavoring. Very spicy, uncomfortable so. After a creature consumes this snack as an action, they gain the following benefits for the next 10 minutes:

* You cannot be put to sleep by magical means.
* You have disadvantage on Wisdom ability checks.
* You have disadvantage on Constitution saving throws to maintain concentration on a spell.
* You can use a bonus action to exhale fire at a target within 10 feet of you. The target must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

You can eat a number of pieces of this jerky equal to your Constitution modifier per long rest.

##### Mint Chew
*Food, snack, uncommon*

A chewy minty candy. You can pop one into your mouth as a bonus action. While being chewed (for up to 10 minutes), are energized and can ignore the effects of up to 3 levels Exhaustion for the duration, and cannot be put to sleep by magical means.

You can only gain this benefit once per long rest, after which consuming additional pieces of the candy has no effect.

\columnbreak

##### Morph Cookies
*Food, snack, uncommon*

Consuming one of these has the effects of casting *alter self*, however you cannot change the adaption unless you consume another cookie. This effect does not require concentration to maintain, and can be extended by consuming an additional morph cookie.

If the ingredient came from a mimic, you can additional transform your appearance to creatures with a different basic shape than you, though you remain the same size.

##### Seeing Sticks
*Food, snack, uncommon*

A stick of hard tacky substance. You can pop one into your mouth as a bonus action. While being sucked (for up to 10 minutes), you gain expanded senses and have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks, saving throws against a Illusion spells, and Intelligence (Investigation) checks to see through illusions, though because of the bad taste inherent to the formulation, continuing to suck on the seeing stick requires concentration, as if concentrating on a spell.

By adding the optional common supplies ingredient, they can be sweetened, giving concentration checks to keep from spitting them out advantage; this increases the DC of the recipe by 1.

### Rations

##### Elvish Bread
*Food, ration, uncommon*

A creature can use its action to eat one bite of this bite (1 ration of it). Eating a piece restores 1 hit point, and the bread provides enough nourishment to sustain a creature for one day.

## Enchanting
Enchanting is a hard and expensive profession, but one eagerly pursued by many all the same. The makers of miracles, the craftsmen of wonder, no other profession holds the fascination of adventurers quite like Enchanter, for their domain encompasses the large majority of magical items.

An item need not pass through an enchanter's hands to be magical, indeed many a blacksmith has forged a magical blade with the right materials, but the true wonder of enchantment is to turn the mundane magical. An enchanter can turn even the most base and commonplace item into something wonderful and powerful, and when given the head start of working with an already well crafted item can craft things of legend.

Many enchanters further specialize in subdomains such as Scroll Scribing or Wand Whittling for more specialized good that require more specialized tools, with many even pursuing such things as Jewelery Crafting in order to create the precious items that most easily enchant, but the general field of Enchanting still covers a large swath of the wondrous.

Scrolls are heavily featured as component of nearly all magical items forming the basis for the powerful enchantments that imbue them with their magic - templates of sort, and thus the ability to craft scrolls with Scroll Scribery is often the most desired of the subdomains for an Enchanter.

\columnbreak

### Quick Reference
While each step will go into more depth, the quick reference allows you to at a glance follow the steps to make a magic item in its most basic form:
* Select the **magic item** that you would like to craft from any of the **Magic Item Tables**.
* Acquire the items listed in the **materials** column for that item.
* Use your **Arcana skill** to infuse the option using the number hours listed in the **Crafting Time** column, or during a long rest using the crafting camp action if the crafting times is 2 hours or less.
* For **every 2 hours**, make a **crafting roll** of 1d20 + your Intelligence modifier + your Arcana proficiency.
* **On success**, you mark 2 hours of completed time. Once the completed time is equal to the crafting time, the magic item is complete. **On failure**, the crafting time is lost and no progress has been made during the 2 hours. If you fail 3 times in a row, the crafting is a failure and all materials are lost.

### Related Tool & Ability Score

Rather than any one tool, Enchanting primarily off the **Arcana**. Due to the subdomains of scrolls (Scroll Scribing) and runes (Runecraft) being part of enchanting Enchanting, proficiency in **Calligraphy Tools** is often useful.

Enchanting uses your **Intelligence** modifier. While magic comes in many forms (Arcane, Primal, Divine) and many casters are able to control it with other aspects of their talent, the ability to systematically bind it into magic items requires a deep understanding of its inner workings that can only be accomplished through meticulous study and knowledge.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.12 | Crafting</div>

\pagebreakNum

### Materials: Essences & Components
The materials of enchanting are **Essences** and **Components**. Essences come in three different types - Arcane, Primal, and Divine, as well as five rarities - common, uncommon, rare, very rare, and legendary. What an Essence *is* can vary greatly, as they are things of innate magic that is used to power the Enchanter's creations. They could be organs of magical monsters (such as the heart of a dragon which would be a rare primal essence) or they can be synthesized from magical reagents into a magical compound. Components are a broad category of items ranging from the base item you are enchanting to any extraneous bits needed to be added. One unique component that is present in many enchantments is a **Spell Scroll** of various types of spells that form the basis of the sort of the magic the item has.

##### Replacing Spell Scrolls
A crafter that is capable of casting magic can replace the spell scroll in an enchantment with the ability to cast that spell, but when doing so they must cast that spell *for each crafting check they make on that item*. This is an exhausting process, draining their magic far more deeply than normal casting, and confers a level of exhaustion each time this technique is used to replace a crafting check. If a magic item requires multiple scrolls, only one of them can be replaced in this way, though if an additional spell caster that can cast the necessary spell can assist you, they can replace a second scroll, though suffering the same penalty.

> ##### Exhausting & Difficult Method
> This mechanic is intentionally quite difficult to use - even for casters that are capable of casting the spell, the typically process would be to make the scroll first to formalize their thoughts and process, laying down the patterns and templates for the magic item. 
> It also removes a very costly gate in the process, so should not be easily bypassed.

### Crafting Roll

Putting that together that means that when you would like to enchant an item, your crafting roll is as follows:

**Enchanting Modifier** = your Arcana proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

</div>

##### Success and Failure
For Enchanting, after you make the crafting roll and succeed marks your progress on a crafting project. If you succeed, you make 2 hours of progress toward the total crafting item (and have completed one of the required checks for making an item). Checks for Enchanting do not need to be immediately consecutive. Failure means that no progress is made during that time. Once an item is started, even if no progress is made, the components reserved for that item can only be recovered via salvage.

If you fail three times in a row, all progress and materials are lost and can no longer be salvaged.

##### Breastplate of the Golden Retriever^DS^
*Armor (breastplate), very rare (requires attunement)*

You have a +1 bonus to AC and advantage on saving throws to resist being frightened while wearing this armor.

This armor has 3 charges, which it regains daily at dawn. As an action, you can expend 1 charge to cast the *warding bond* spell or 2 charges to cast the *faithful hound* spell from the armor without requiring material components. When warding bond is cast in this way, a spectral golden retriever appears next to the creature you are bonded with and follows it dutifully. The golden retriever is incorporeal and it can shed bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet upon the bonded creature’s request (no action required).

*Item created by Dungeon Strugglers*

## Engineering

### Quick Reference
The following is a quick reference to follow for each step of an engineering project:

* Select the construction project you would like to begin.
* Gather the required labor if necessary.
* Ensure you have all materials for the construction project available.
* Use your Carpentry Tools to begin work, taking a number of hours listed in the crafting time column. You can make progress in 2 hours increments.
* For every 2 hour increments, make a crafting check of 1d20 + your Intelligence modifier + your proficiency with carpentry tools.
* On success, you mark 2 hours of completed time.  Once the completed time is equal to the crafting time, the construction project is complete. On failure, the crafting time is lost and no progress has been made during the 2 hours. If you fail three times, the construction project is a failure is a failure and all materials are lost.

### Related Tool & Ability Score
Engineering uses carpentry tools. Checks can be made with a substite tool at your DMs discretion, but are made with disadvantage.

### Materials
Engineering uses materials in a larger bulker than most crafting branches. These are represnted in "Units" of materials. These can be directly harvested in bulk, or represent collections of similar individual materials.

##### Bulk Materials Table
| Material | Price |
|:--------:|:-----:|
| Unit of Lumber | 1 gp |
| Unit of Stone | 1 gp |
| Cement (Mortar) | 1 sp |

##### Harvesting Trees
You can convert trees that are at least 20 feet tall into units of lumber. A 20 foot tall tree will product 1 unit of lumber, and ad additional unit of lumber for each 10 feet of tree height. At your DM's discrection, some trees may not be suitable lumber. It takes 4 hours of work by a laborer to convert trees to units of lumber.

A unit of lumber can be converted to 10 wooden branches.

##### Quarrying Stone
Quarrying Stone is significantly harder and at the edge of the what this system attempts to define. As a rule of thumb, if quarry that can produce stone is available, 1 laborer can produce 1 unit of stone in 8 hours of hard labor (1 unit per day). A laborer with 18 strength or more can produce twice as much stone in the same time period.

Setting up quarry exceeds the scope of this system, but would take days or weeks.

### Crafting Roll
<div align="center">

**Engineering Modifier** = your Carpentry proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

</div>

### Labor
Unlike most crafting, Engineering can encompass large projects that require additional laborer. A laborer can be any creature with a Strength of 12 or higher that can understand you, lift and carry objects, and is willing to work for you for for the duration. You can be your own laborer if you fit the requirements. A creature with a Strength of 18 or more or proficiency in Carpentry tools can count as skilled laborer, and is worth two laborers. Two creatures of insufficient strength but with a strength 8 or more strength working together can be counted as single laborer, but only for 4 hours a day, after which more labor confers a level of exhaustion.

Additional labor does not inherently speed a project up, though a DM may rule that it is possible in a case by case basis. Checks can be made with insufficient labor as long as you have half the labor pool needed, but each crafting check takes 4 hours in this case.

The number of laborers requires is based on the scale of the project, as per the following table:

| Project Scale | Laborers Needed |
|:-------------:|:---------------:|
| Small         | 0               |
| Medium        | 0               |
| Large         | 1               |
| Huge          | 2               |
| Gargantuan  (30x30) | 3         |
| Colossal (40x40+) | 4+          |

For colossal projects, you need one laborer for every additional 10 square feet of the project beyond 40 by 40. For example, to build a bridge that was 200 by 40 feet, you would be five times more laborers (20 laborers) to maintain a 2 hour crafting check.

Every laborer requires their own set of crafting tools, though they do not need proficiency with them. At a DMs discretion, Masonry Tools or Woodcarving Tools can replace Carpentry tools for laborers where appropriate.

## Jewelry Crafting

### Quick Reference
The following is a quick reference to follow for each step of refining a jewel.

* Select a refinement or piece of jewelery you would like to make from the tables below.
* Some refinements or jewelery require only a gem of certain value, while others require some additional or magical components; acquire the materials listed in the material column for the refinement you would like to make.
* Use your Jeweler's tools to craft the option using the number of hours listed in the crafting time column. You can make progress in 2 hour increments.
* For every 2 hour increment, make a crafting roll of 1d20 + your Dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus with Jewelery tools.
* On success, you mark 2 hours of complicated time. Once the completed time is equal to the crafting time, the item is complete. On failure, the crafting time is lost and no progress has been made during the 2 hours. If you fail three times, the crafting is a failure and all materials are lost.

### Related Tool & Ability Score
Jewelcrafting uses Jewelry Tools. Checks can be made with a substitute tool at your DMs discretion, but not tool set provides all delicate and necessary equipment, so checks made with substituted tools are made with disadvantage. Jewelery is a very precise and delicate form of crafting, and uses your Dexterity ability score.

If you have proficiency in **Arcana**, you can use your crafting skill to craft magical items.

\columnbreak

### Materials
Jewelcrafting uses primarily gems, jewels, and other shiny bits.

### Crafting Roll

**Jewelcrafting Modifier** = your Jeweler's Tools proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier

</div>

##### Success and Failure
For Jewelcrafting, after you make the crafting roll and succeed, mark your progress on a crafting project. If you succeed, you make 2 hours of progress toward the total crafting item (and have completed one of the required checks for making an item). Checks for Jewelcrafting do not need to be immediately consecutive. Failure means that no progress is made during that time. Once an item is started, even if no progress is made, the components reserved for that item.

If you fail three times, all progress and materials are lost and can no longer be salvaged.

### Magical Gems
Jewelers have the ability to cut gems in a way that allows them to absorb essences, becoming magical gems. These are often valued greatly for their properties, inherent to their magical nature, and for the aesthetics.

But, in order to make megical gem and ring, proficiency in **Arcana** is required; without proficiency in arcana, you cannot add your Tool proficiency to the crafting roll when crafting magic gem or ring.

### Socketing Gems
A jeweler can socket gems for decorative reasons or to confer the magical benefits of an infused gem into item. You can spend 1 hour to make a DC 8 Jeweler's Kit add or remove a gem for from a socket.

### Rings

##### Band of Mirrored Essence
*ring, rare*
___
This unassuming platinum ring is polished to a mirror finish. When you reduce a Small or larger hostile creature to 0 hit points while wearing the ring, you can use your reaction to absorb a portion of that creature’s essence into the ring. Looking into the ring shows the reflection of the creature whose essence is held inside. As an action, you can release the captured essence and assume either the creature’s appearance or one of its features.

If you take on the appearance of the creature, it must be a creature no more than one size larger or smaller than you. You do not physically change in size or shape, but your body is shrouded in a convincing illusion. Your voice changes to match the creature’s, and you can understand any of its known languages but can neither read nor speak any that you don’t already know. Another creature can see through the illusion by succeeding on a DC 16 Intelligence (Investigation) check. Physical interaction with this illusory form reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. The illusion lasts for 8 hours or until you dismiss it as a bonus action or fall unconscious.

If you assume one of the creature’s features, your body or mind temporarily changes to accommodate the new ability. You can choose to gain 1 skill or saving throw proficiency, damage resistance, condition immunity, sense, or language that the creature had. If the creature could breathe underwater, you can choose to gain that feature instead. You retain this feature for 8 hours or until you dismiss it as a bonus action or fall unconscious.

Once you capture an essence with the ring, you can’t do so again for 1d8 hours. You can only have 1 essence at a time. If you capture an essence when you already have one, you replace the original.

##### Band of the Dryad
*ring, uncommon*
___
A simple wooden band that appears to be entwined by evergreen ivy vines. the top is decorated with a small rose petal, which remains bloomed and perfect until the ring's effect is used. Each day at dawn the petal blooms again.

This band has a single charge, which recharges each day at dawn. The power contained within the rose petal may be expended to heal a target the wearer can touch by 2d4+2 hit points. Once used, the rose petal wilts and falls off the ring, and this effect may not be used again until the next dawn.

##### Ring of Communication
*ring, uncommon*
___
A simple band of silver engraved with arcane runes that glow a dull silver blue when used.

This ring is part of a set that is magically linked together. While wearing this ring, you are able to sense if one or all of the other rings are being worn by another creature. You are not able to discern who the creature is or where they are located, only that the ring is being worn.

You are able to cast Sending at will from this ring while you wear it. When casting this spell from the ring, you can only target creatures that are wearing a ring linked to the set. The spell does not have a limitation on how many words are spoken through the spell, and it can target more than one creature at a time.

##### Ring of Dragon Armor
*ring, rare*
___
This metal ring is decorated as the type of dragon it is intended to protect the wearer from. A red ring protects the wearer from a red dragon's fire breath, a white ring protects a wearer from a white dragon's cold breath, etc. The ring is ornate, but the distinctive feature is the scales which immitate the hide of a dragon. While you are wearing the ring, the breath weapon damage that you take is reduced by 10.

##### Ring of the Blood Price
*ring, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)*
___
Crafted to resemble a band of woven thorns with small metal spikes along the inner side, this ring looks more like a torture device than a piece of jewelry.  While wearing this ring, any time you cast a spell, you may choose to take damage to forego all material component requirements for that spell.  The damage you take equals 1d6 necrotic damage per level of the spell.  This damage cannot be reduced in any way.

##### Ring of the Shapeshifter
*Ring, rare (requires attunement by a any humanoid creature)*
___
This appears to be a simple looking band of silver. When worn and attuned, however, the ring can change form to appear like any other kind of ring the wearer wants.

While worn and attuned the ring grants the wearer the ability to cast Alter Self upon themselves at-will as a Bonus action and maintain the duration indefinitely - the duration becomes "until dispelled or dismissed". The spell can be dismissed as a Bonus Action. The spell Dispel Magic cast upon the wearer or ring against this effect will dispel the effect and surpress any future use of the ring for 1 hour.

Also while the ring is worn and attuned the wearer is considered a shapechanger and immune to spells that transform the body such as Polymorph, True Polymorph, etc.

In addition, you can touch a willing beast with a flying speed. For 1 minute, you can see through the creature’s eyes, sharing any of its special visual senses for the duration. You are blinded to your own surroundings while you share its vision in this way. You can end this effect early using an action to return to your normal senses. Once this property has been used, it can’t be used again until this next dawn.

##### Amulet of Equilibrium
*Wondorous Item, uncommon*
___

The amulet has 4 charges and regains 2 expended charges daily at dawn. When you deal cold, fire, or lightning damage to a single creature while wearing the amulet, you can expend any number of its charges to reroll that many of the cold, fire, or lightning damage dice. You must use the new rolls.

Whenever you take cold, fire, or lightning damage from a hostile creature, the amulet regains 1 charge.

##### Amulet of Life Blood
*Wondorous Item, rare*
___

##### Amulet of Protection from Spiders
*Wondorous Item, common*
___

Also, as an action, you can cast a special version of the sanctuary spell centered on you that affects only Large or smaller spiders. The DC for this spell is your spellcasting DC or DC 13, whichever is higher). Once used, this property can never be used again.

##### Brooch of Kulu
*Wondorous Item, uncommon*
___
This bone brooch is ornated with the orange feather of a Kulu-Ya-Ku and can be used to secure a cape or adorn a piece of clothing. While wearing the brooch, you count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

In addition, you can gain advantage on strength check to push, drag, or lift. Once this property has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

##### Brooch of Many Sizes 
*Wondorous Item, rare*
___
This metal brooch features a rotatable dial and can be used to secure a cape or adorn a piece of clothing. While wearing the brooch, you can use an action to cast the enlarge/reduce spell, targeting only yourself, by turning the dial toward either the larger or smaller figure adorning the sides of the brooch. Once this property of the brooch has been used, it can’t be used again until the following dawn.

While under the effects of this spell, you can use a bonus action to overload the brooch by forcibly twisting the dial beyond its normal limits. When you do, your size changes by an additional category: growing either a second size larger if you had cast the enlarge spell or a second size smaller if you had cast the reduce spell. Your size can’t be larger than Huge or smaller than Tiny by overloading the brooch, and your damage and weight are increased or decreased as if you were affected by a second instance of the enlarge/reduce spell.

When you return to your original size after overloading the brooch, you can’t move or take actions until after your next turn. Once the brooch has been overloaded, it can’t be used again until 7 days have passed.

##### Catnip Amulet
*Wondorous Item, common*
___
This gold and jade amulet seems to draw domestic cats to it. While wearing the necklace, you have advantage on ability checks made to find or call Tiny domestic cats (if there are any) and on Wisdom (Animal Handling) checks you make to interact with them.

##### Celestial Circlet
*Wondorous Item, very rare (requires attunement by a cleric of good alignment)*
___
This golden circlet radiates holy energy. A thin halo hovers above your head while you wear it, emitting bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for another 20 feet. Small motes of holy light swirl around the apex of the circlet.

While you wear the circlet, you are always under the effects of the protection from evil and good spell. This effect only applies to one creature type: you can choose a new creature type (other than celestials) to be protected against daily at dawn.

The circlet has 7 charges. As an action while wearing the circlet, you can expend 1 or more of its charges to cast either cure wounds (1 charge per spell level, up to 4th) or spirit guardians (3 charges) from it, using your spell save DC and spellcasting ability modifier. Immediately before or after you cast a spell from the circlet in this way, you can use your bonus action to fly up to 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks. When you do, you are carried away on a pair of angelic wings.

The circlet regains 1d4 + 3 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the halo vanishes and the circlet becomes mundane and nonmagical.

*Wondorous Item, uncommon (requires attunement)*
___
This barbed metal circlet features a grotesque yet ornately preserved eye hanging from its center. The eye rests on the forehead of the creature wearing it. While wearing the circlet, its latent cunning guides your hand, giving you advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks.

The circlet has 5 charges and regains all expended charges daily at dusk. While wearing the circlet, you can use a bonus action to expend 1 of its charges to cast the hunter’s mark spell from it.

In addition,you can expend a 2nd charge when casting hunter’s mark in this way, or 1 charge as a bonus action on another turn, to gain truesight out to a range of 120 feet for 1 minute.

Curse. Attuning to the circlet curses you until you are targeted by the remove curse spell or similar magic. Removing the circlet fails to end the curse.

## Leatherworking
Leatherworking is often seen as something of the "light armor" equivaliant to a blacksmith, but it covers quite a bit more ground that. While it may be the unsung hero, an adventurers best friend is a study leather backpack. Backpacks, belts, waterskins, quivers and more all fall to these talented artisans to make, and can prove essential to every day life.

In addition to their more mundane wares, however, leather, hide, scales, and carapaces of monsters in the fantastical settings these craftsmen find themselves in often provide more opportunity than the basic components of mundane items. A leatherworker is essential if you wish to get the most mileage out of your harvested monsters.

### Quick Reference

While each step will go into more depth, the quick reference allows you to at a glance follow the steps to work items from leather.
* Select the **item** that you would like to craft from any of the **Leatherworking Crafting Tables**.
* Acquire the items listed in the **materials** column for that item.
* Use your **Leatherworking Tools**  tool to craft the option using the number hours listed in the **Crafting Time** column, or during a long rest using the crafting camp action if the crafting times is 2 hours or less.
* For **every 2 hours**, make a **crafting roll** of 1d20 + your Dexterity + your proficiency bonus with a Leatherworking Tools. 
* **On success**, you mark 2 hours of completed time toward the total crafting time.

\columnbreak

* **On failure**, the crafting time is lost and no progress has been made during the 2 hours. If you fail 3 times, the crafting is a failure and all materials are lost.

### Related Tool & Ability Score

Leatherworking works using **Leatherworking Tools**. Attempting craft items with Leatherworking without these will almost always be made with disadvantage, and proficiency with these allows you to add your proficiency in them to any Leatherworking crafting roll.

Additionally, like Scroll Scribing and Enchanting, proficiency in **Arcana** is required to make magical item; without proficiency in arcana, you cannot add your Tool proficiency to the crafting roll for magical item.

### Materials: Leather & Hides
Leatherworking uses leather and hides, primarily harvested from monsters, however sometimes they work with heavy quited clothes, metal, carapaces, and sometimes even metal pieces.

### Crafting Roll

Putting that together that means that when you would like to make an item, your crafting roll is as follows:

**Leatherworking Modifier** = your Leatherworking Tools proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier

</div>

##### Success and Failure
For Leatherworking, after you make the crafting roll and succeed, mark your progress on a crafting project. If you succeed, you make 2 hours of progress toward the total crafting item (and have completed one of the required checks for making an item).  Checks for Leatherworking do not need to be immediately consecutive.  Failure means that no progress is made during that time.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.12 | Crafting</div>

\pagebreakNum

Once an item is started, even if no progress is made, the components reserved for that item can only be recovered via salvage. If you fail three times, all progress and materials are lost and can no longer be salvaged.

### Cobbling
A specialized branch of Leatherworking is Cobbling. These are the folks that make shoes and boots. While it might not be obvious at first glance, these folks are what keeps an adventurer running... literally, you take their boots and most of them won't be going anywhere fast.

It shares all the rules and materials as leather working, but replaces any instance of Leatherworking Tools with Cobblering Tools, and may optionally use Wisdom in place of Dexterity, being a trade for the old practiced hands.

Any item found the "Cobbling Crafting Table" is part of the Cobbling subdomain of Leatherworking.

> ##### But what is the point?
> The rules the game typically assume your player is already wearing boots. Making boots is generally something that is more related to a character's back story than their adventuring needs, but such things come up occasionally.
> 
> However, in more immediately useful objectives, sometimes crafting things like boots makes sense as a prerequisite of enchanting them - some magic gear requires an expensive component item (for example, "boots worth 200 gp or more")... magic has expensive taste. So, occasionally, crafting branches like this can be useful for that, though it should generally be expected that Cobbling is not (nor intended to be) as useful as some of the more relevant branches of crafting for an adventurer.

## Poisoncraft
A subdomain of alchemy, the profession of poisoncraft is often seen as the "dark side" of Alchemy. While Alchemy often deals in poisonous reagents, typically speaking they aim to tame the poison, channeling it into useful effects. While capable of making crudely poisonous potions, such things are generally considered failures to an alchemist. To a poisoner, they are considered the art itself.

Poisoncraft shares **Shelf Life** and **Reagents** with Alchemy; for details regarding those, see Alchemy.

### Quick Reference
While each step will go into more depth, the quick reference allows you to at a glance follow the steps to make a potion in its most basic form:
* Select a **poison** that you would like to craft from the **"Poison Crafting Table"**.
* Acquire the items listed in the **materials** column for that potion.
* Use your **Poisoner's Kit** tool to craft the option using the number hours listed in the **Crafting Time** column, or during a long rest using the crafting camp action if the crafting times is 2 hours or less. **Poisoncraft items must be crafted in a single session.**
* For **every 2 hours**, make a **crafting roll** of 1d20 + your Intelligence modifier + your proficiency bonus with a Poisoner's Kit. You can abort the craft after a bad crafting roll if you wish, this counts as a failure. 
* On success, you mark 2 hours of completed time. Once the completed time is equal to the crafting time, the magic item is complete. On failure, the crafting time is lost and no progress has been made during the 2 hours. If you fail 3 times, the crafting is a failure and all materials are lost.

\columnbreak

### Related Tool & Ability Score
Poisoncraft works using **Poisoner's Kit**. Attempting to craft a poison without these will almost always be made with disadvantage, and proficiency with these allows you to add your proficiency to any poisoncraft crafting roll.

Poisoncraft uses your Intelligence modifier, representing your path of knowledge to the art of making deadly things deadlier.

##### Applying the Poison

To apply an Injury to a weapon or a Contact poison to an object, you must have a poisoner's kit and proficiency with it to apply poison to a weapon. As an action, make a DC 15 dexterity (sleight of hand) check, on a success, the poison is applied, on failure the poison is lost, and if you fail by 5 or more you suffer the effect of the poison.

No check is required when using a poisoner's kit with proficiency.

### Crafting Roll
Putting that together that means that when you would like to create potion, your crafting roll is as follows:

**Poisoncraft Modifier =** your Poisoner's Kit proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.

</div>

##### Success and Failure
For Poisoncraft, after you make the crafting roll and succeed marks your progress on a crafting project. If you succeed, you make 2 hours of progress toward the total crafting item (and have completed one of the required checks for making an item). Checks for Poisoncraft do not need to be immediately consecutive. Failure means that no progress is made during that time. Once an item is started, even if no progress is made, the components reserved for that item can only be recovered via salvage.

If you fail three times, all progress and materials are lost and can no longer be salvaged.

### Poisons
Given their insidious and deadly nature, poisons are illegal in most societies but are a favorite tool among assassins, drow, and other evil creatures.

Poisons come in the following four types.

* **Contact.** Contact poison can be smeared on an object and remains potent until it is touched or washed off. A creature that touches contact poison with exposed skin suffers its effects.
* **Ingested.** A creature must swallow an entire dose of ingested poison to suffer its effects. The dose can be delivered in food or a liquid. You might decide that a partial dose has a reduced effect, such as allowing advantage on the saving throw or dealing only half damage on a failed save.
* **Inhaled.** These poisons are powders or gases that take effect when inhaled. Blowing the powder or releasing the gas subjects creatures in a 5-foot cube to its effect. The resulting cloud dissipates immediately afterward. Holding one’s breath is ineffective against inhaled poisons, as they affect nasal membranes, tear ducts, and other parts of the body.
* **Injury.** Injury poison can be applied to weapons, ammunition, trap components, and other objects that deal piercing or slashing damage. An injury poison typically lasts 1 minute on a weapon, and lasts for up to 5 hits. A creature that takes piercing or slashing damage from an object coated with the poison is exposed to its effects.

##### Assassin’s Blood (Ingested).
*Poison, uncommon*
___
A creature subjected to this poison must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 6 (1d12) poison damage and is poisoned for 24 hours. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and isn’t poisoned.

##### Blood of the Lycanthrope (Injury).
*Poison, uncommon*
___
This poison is created from blood harvested from a dead or incapacitated lycanthrope in its animal or hybrid form. A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be cursed with lycanthropy (see the Monster Manual). The curse lasts until removed by the remove curse spell or similar magic.

The type of lycanthropy depends on the lycanthrope used to create the poison. To determine the type of lycanthropy randomly, roll a d6:

| d6 | type of lycanthropy |
| :-: | :-: |
| 1-3 | Werecat
| 4-5 | Werewolf
| 6 | Wereboar

##### Burnt Othur Fumes (Inhaled).
*Poison, rare*
___
A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 10 (3d6) poison damage, and must repeat the saving throw at the start of each of its turns. On each successive failed save, the character takes 3 (1d6) poison damage. After three successful saves, the poison ends.

##### Breath of Beleth (Injury).
*Poison, uncommon*
___
A creature subject to the poison must succeed at a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 minute. While poisoned, the creature immediately becomes frightened of all hostile creatures it can see, and must take the Dash action and move away from them by the safest available route on each of its turns, unless there is nowhere to move.

##### Carrion Crawler Mucus (Contact).
*Poison, uncommon*
___
This poison can be harvested from a dead or incapacitated carrion crawler. A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. The poisoned creature is paralyzed. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
 
 \columnbreak
 
##### Dust of the Mummy (Inhaled).
*Poison, rare*
___
This poison is created during a mummy’s embalming process, distilled from the dead creature’s removed organs. A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be cursed with mummy rot. The cursed creature can’t regain hit points, and its hit point maximum decreases by 10 (3d6) for every 24 hours that elapse. If the curse reduces the creature’s hit point maximum to 0, the creature dies, and its body turns to dust. The curse lasts until removed by the remove curse spell or similar magic.

##### Drow Poison (Injury).
*Poison, uncommon*
___
This poison is typically made only by the drow, and only in a place far removed from sunlight. A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 hour. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the creature is also unconscious while poisoned in this way. The creature wakes up if it takes damage or if another creature takes an action to shake it awake.

##### Essence of Ether (Inhaled).
*Poison, uncommon*
___
A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 8 hours. The poisoned creature is unconscious. The creature wakes up if it takes damage or if another creature takes an action to shake it awake.

##### Ivana's Whiper (Inhaled).
*Poison, rare*
___
This poison bears a distinct scent and chemical message from Ivana Boritsi. A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or experience the effects of a dream spell created by Ivana the next time they sleep. This poison is nonmagical, and Ivana doesn’t directly communicate with those affected during the dream. Rather, she creates the illusion of speaking with her intended target by alchemically crafting her message, predicting her target’s reactions, and chemically encoding in her responses. She wears this poison as a perfume or hides it within gift bouquets, allowing it to convey her message later.

##### Mage's Ruin (Ingested)
*Poison, rare*
___
A target subject to this poison must succeed a DC 13 Con save or become poisoned.

A creature poisoned in this way loses a spell slot at the start of each of their turns (as if the creature had cast a spell). This spell slot must be of the highest level currently available to the target.

The target repeats the saving throw after losing a spell slot in this way. If they succeed, the effects of the poison ends.

After seven successful saving throws, the effect ends and the creature can heal normally.

##### Poison, Basic (Injury)
*Poison, uncommon*
___
You can use the poison in this vial to coat one slashing or piercing weapon or up to three pieces of ammunition. Applying the poison takes an action. A creature hit by the poisoned weapon or ammunition must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or take 1d4 poison damage. Once applied, the poison retains potency for 1 minute before drying.

##### Potion of Poison (Ingested)
*Poison, uncommon*
___
This concoction looks, smells, and tastes like a potion of healing or other beneficial potion. However, it is actually poison masked by illusion magic. An identify spell reveals its true nature.

If you drink it, you take 3d6 poison damage, and you must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned. At the start of each of your turns while you are poisoned in this way, you take 3d6 poison damage. At the end of each of your turns, you can repeat the saving throw.

The creature’s new form is a random beast or a creature it has seen within the last 24 hours (as chosen by the DM). This transformation lasts until the end of the target’s next long rest. This effect is not subject to dispel magic or remove curse, but a greater restoration spell restores the creature to its original form.

## Scribing

### Quick Reference
While each step will go into more depth, the quick reference allows you to at a glance follow the steps to make a scroll in its most basic form:
* Select the **a spell you know** that you would like to craft from spells you are able to cast, or through **Alternate Methods** (see "Magic Formula").
* Acquire the items listed in the **materials** column for a scroll of that level and type.
* Use your **Calligraphy Tools** to write the scroll using the number hours listed in the **Crafting Time** column, or during a long rest using the crafting camp action if the crafting times is 2 hours or less.
* For **every 2 hours**, make a **crafting roll** of 1d20 + your Intelligence modifier + your proficiency with Calligraphy Tools.
* **On success**, you mark 2 hours of completed time. Once the completed time is equal to the crafting time, the magic item is complete. **On failure**, the crafting time is lost and no progress has been made during the 2 hours. If you fail 3 times in a row, the crafting is a failure and all materials are lost.

### Related Tool & Ability Score
Scrollscrafting works using **Calligraphy Tools**. Attempting to craft a scroll without these is impossible.

The related ability score is **Intelligence**. While spellcasters of any stripe can make scrolls of the spells they know, the process is one of systematic application of magical theory to lay down the spell in a function that can later be used.

Additionally, like it's skin Wand Whittling and Enchanting, proficiency in Aranca is required; without proficiency in arcana, you cannot add your Tool proficiency to the crafting rule and have disadvantae on the crafting role.

\columnbreak

> ##### Scriptures
> A DM can choose to allow a Cleric to use Wisdom in place of Intelligence and require proficiency in Religion instead of Arcana. Scrolls produced this way are called Scriptures.

### Materials: Ink & Parchment
The Materials for Scrollcrafting are **Ink** and **Parchment**. Ink and Parchment used in scrolls is typically purchased. Some types of rare parchment may be processed from rare alchemical ingredients by an alchemist or from the hides of magical creatures by a leatherworker.

The ink used to create scrolls must be a special formulation that allows it to contain the magical essence behind the glyphs, script, runes, and words that make up a magical scroll. This ink is created by alchemist, but can be purchased.

| Component | Price |
| :-----: | :---: |
| Common Magical Ink | 15 gp |
| Common Parchment | 1 sp |
| Uncommon Magical Ink | 40 gp |
| Uncommon Parchment | 41 gp |
| Rare Magical Ink | 200 gp |
| Rare Parchment | 200 gp |
| Very Rare Magical Ink | 2,000 gp |
| Very Rare Parchment | 2,000 gp |
| Legendary Magical Ink | 5,000 gp |
| Legendary Parchment | 5,000 gp |

<div class='footnote'>Ch.12 | Crafting</div>

\pagebreakNum

### Crafting Roll

Putting that together that means that when you would like to enchant an item, your crafting roll is as follows:

**Scrollcrafting Modifier =** your Calligrapher's Tools proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.

</div>

##### Crafting Without Essence
A crafter that is capable of casting magic can replace the essence when crafting a spell scroll with the ability to cast that spell, but when doing so they must cast that spell for each crafting check they make on that item. This is an exhausting process, draining their magic far more deeply than normal casting, and confers a level of exhaustion for each crafting check made this way.

### Magical Formula
To craft a spell scroll, you must know the Magic Formula of the spell you want to make a Spell Scroll of. The easiest way to do this is to be able to cast the spell. You always know the Magic Formula of a spell you know how to cast. Otherwise, you need to have deep knowledge of the spell to be able to make a scroll of it. The following are some ways you can gain that knowledge:

* Have it in your spellbook as a Wizard.
* Have it your ritual book as a ritual caster.
* Have a spell scroll of it (DC +2)
 
#### Scroll Essence Type
The type of Essence is determined by the spell list the spell comes from; if it is on multiple spell lists, it is determined by how you have access to the spell. If you have access to the spell via multiple lists or the written form of the spell, you can pick which Essence to use for spells that have multiple options.

\columnbreak

##### Spell Scroll
*Scroll, Varie*
___
A spell scroll bears the words of a single spell, written in a mystical cipher. You can read the scroll and cast its spell. Casting the spell by reading the scroll requires the spell’s normal casting time. Once the spell is cast, the words on the scroll fade, and it crumbles to dust. If the casting is interrupted, the scroll is not lost.

The level of the spell on the scroll determines the spell’s saving throw DC and attack bonus, as well as the scroll’s rarity, as shown in the Spell Scroll table.

| Spell Level	| Rarity	| Save DC	| Attack Bonus
| :-: | :-: | :-: | :-:
| Cantrip	| Common	| 13	| +5
| 1st	| Common	| 13	| +5
| 2nd	| Uncommon	| 13	| +5

## Tattoo Artist

### Quick Reference
While each step will go into more depth, the quick reference allows you to at a glance follow the steps to make a tatoo in its most basic form:
* Select the tattoo that you would like to craft from the table below.
* Acquire the items listed in the **materials** column for a tattoo.
* Use your **Painter's Supplies** to create the tattoo using the number hours listed in the **Crafting Time** column, or during a long rest if the crafting times is 2 hours or less.
* For **every 2 hours**, make a **crafting roll** of 1d20 + your Dexterity modifier + your proficiency with Painter's Supplies.
* **On success**, you mark 2 hours of completed time. Once the completed time is equal to the crafting time, the magic item is complete. **On failure**, the crafting time is lost and no progress has been made during the 2 hours. If you fail 3 times, the crafting is a failure and all materials are lost.

### Related Tool & Ability Score
Tattoo artist works using **Calligraphy Tools**. Attempting to craft a tattoo without these is impossible.

The related ability score is **Dexterity**. While spellcasters of any stripe can make scrolls of the spells they know, the process is one of systematic application of magical theory to lay down the spell in a function that can later be used.

Additionally, like it's skin Wand Whittling and Enchanting, proficiency in **Aranca** is required; without proficiency in arcana, you cannot add your Tool proficiency to the crafting rule and have disadvantage on the crafting roll.

\columnbreak

### Materials: Ink
The Materials for Tatto ARtist is **Ink**. Ink used in tattoo is typically purchased.

The ink used to create tattoos must be a special formulation that allows it to contain the magical essence behind the glyphs, script, runes, and words that make up a magical scroll. This ink is created by alchemist, but can be purchased.

| Component | Price |
| :-----: | :---: |
| Common Magical Ink | 15 gp |
| Uncommon Magical Ink | 40 gp |
| Rare Magical Ink | 200 gp |
| Very Rare Magical Ink | 2,000 gp |
| Legendary Magical Ink | 5,000 gp |

### Crafting Roll

Putting that together that means that when you would like to enchant an item, your crafting roll is as follows:

**Scrollcrafting Modifier =** your Calligrapher's Tools proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier.

</div>

##### Crafting Spellwrought Tattoo Without Essence
A crafter that is capable of casting magic can replace the essence when crafting a spell scroll with the ability to cast that spell, but when doing so they must cast that spell for each crafting check they make on that item. This is an exhausting process, draining their magic far more deeply than normal casting, and confers a level of exhaustion for each crafting check made this way.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.12 | Crafting</div>

\pagebreakNum

### Magical Formula for Spellwrought Tattoo
To craft a spellwrought tattoo, you must know the Magic Formula of the spell you want to make a spellwrought tattoo of. The easiest way to do this is to be able to cast the spell. You always know the Magic Formula of a spell you know how to cast. Otherwise, you need to have deep knowledge of the spell to be able to make a scroll of it. The following are some ways you can gain that knowledge:

* Have it in your spellbook as a Wizard.
* Have it your ritual book as a ritual caster.
* Have a spell scroll of it (DC +2)
 
#### Spellwrought Tattoo Essence Type
The type of Essence is determined by the spell list the spell comes from; if it is on multiple spell lists, it is determined by how you have access to the spell. If you have access to the spell via multiple lists or the written form of the spell, you can pick which Essence to use for spells that have multiple options.

## Tinkering
Tinkering is applying creativity to junk to make new things. Sometimes even *useful* new things. Ranging from the humble crafts to complex contraptions, tinkering is a broad category that any adventuring party can benefit from.

Oft the purview of peddlers and wanderers, they have a broad skill set and tend to excel at working with limited resources and their wit rather than expensive shopping lists of materials, though many will say they have a bad habit of collecting *too* much junk with the idea that things can be handy when you would least expect it...

### Quick Reference

While each step will go into more depth, the quick reference allows you to at a glance follow the steps to tinker up an item in its most basic form:
* Select the **item** that you would like to craft from any of the **Tinkering Crafting Tables**.
* Acquire the items listed in the **materials** column for that item.
* Use your **Tinkering Tools**  tool to craft the option using the number hours listed in the **Crafting Time** column, or during a long rest using the crafting camp action if the crafting times is 2 hours or less.
* For **every 2 hours**, make a **crafting roll** of 1d20 + your Intelligence + your proficiency bonus with a Tinkering Tools. 
* **On success**, you mark 2 hours of completed time. Once the completed time is equal to the crafting time, the item is complete. **On failure**, the crafting time is lost and no progress has been made during the 2 hours. If you fail 3 times in a row, the crafting is a failure and all materials are lost.

### Related Tool & Ability Score

\columnbreak

Tinkering works using ***Tinkering Tools**. Attempting to tinker item without these will almost always be made with disadvantage, and proficiency with these allows you to add your proficiency in them to any Tinkering crafting roll.

Most of the time tinkers need only the minimal heat of a basic fire and their tools to work, though any craft that requires an ingot may require a forge at the discretion of the DM.

### Materials: Parts and Scrap
Tinkering uses metal scraps, miscellaneous parts (simply referred to as "parts"), and, in cases of making more magically functional things, essences to imbue them with their power. The term "parts" is used to refer to gears, wires, springs, windy bits, screws, nails, and doodads. Parts can be either found or salvaged or forged from metal scraps (or even straight from ingots by a Blacksmith for those that really want to be industrial about it). The exact nature of each item making up this collection is left abstracted.

Lastly, Tinkerers use essences when constructing things that push beyond the mundane principles of plausibility, crafting magical properties into their inventions.

<div class='footnote'>Ch.12 | Crafting</div>

\pagebreakNum

### Crafting Roll

Putting that together that means that when you would like to smith an item, your crafting roll is as follows:

**Tinkering Modifier** = your Tinkering Tools proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

</div>

##### Success and Failure
For Tinkering, after you make the crafting roll and succeed, mark your progress on a crafting project. If you succeed, you make 2 hours of progress toward the total crafting item (and have completed one of the required checks for making an item). Checks for Tinkering do not need to be immediately consecutive. Failure means that no progress is made during that time. Once an item is started, even if no progress is made, the components reserved for that item can only be recovered via salvage.

If you fail three times, all progress and materials are lost and can no longer be salvaged.

### Tinkering Saving Throw
Some gadgets a Tinkerer creates require a saving throw, the following is the formula for calculating the saving throw. The saving throw is calculated at the time of creation based on the creators attributes and proficiency, and does not change once it is created. A saving throw does not include any expertise or other bonuses a crafter has to the crafting roll.

**Tinkering DC** = 8 + your Tinkering Tools proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

## Wand and Staff Whittling 
Unlike many magic items that are crafted and than enchanted with magic, a wand is purpose built for to store the magic it will continue, worked from wood and infused with magic as a single process, with different intricacies based on the type of magic it will wield.

Wands are very valuable to adventurers, and the power the wield should never be underestimated, as they can save precious resources.

### Quick Reference
While each step will go into more depth, the quick reference allows you to at a glance follow the steps to make a wand in its most basic form:
* Select a wand or staff from the **Wand Table** or **Staff Table** you would like to make.
* Acquire the items listed in the **materials** column for a Wand or Staff from the appropriate table.
* Use your **Woodcarver’s tools** to create the wand or Staff using the number hours listed in the **Crafting Time** column, or during a long rest if the crafting times is 2 hours or less.
* For **every 2 hours**, make a **crafting roll** of 1d20 + your Dexterity modifier + your proficiency with Woodcarver’s tools.
* **On success**, you mark 2 hours of completed time. Once the completed time is equal to the crafting time, the wand is complete. **On failure**, the crafting time is lost and no progress has been made during the 2 hours. If you fail 3 times in a row , the crafting is a failure and all materials are lost.

\columnbreak

### Related Tool & Ability Score
Wand whittling works using **Woodcarver’s tools**. Attempting to craft a wand without these is impossible.

The related ability score is **Dexterity**. The process is one of systematic application of magical theory to integrated the spell into a wand in a function that can later be used.

Additionally, like Scroll Scribing and Enchanting, proficiency in Arcana is required; without proficiency in arcana, you cannot add your Tool proficiency to the crafting rule.

### Materials: Wood & Essence
The Materials for Wand Whittling are wood and essences. The wood used in wands is typically purchased, and below are the table prices. Low level wands can use common woods that are not magically attuned, but more powerful magic will cause such mundane wood to instantly splinter or catch fire, requiring the use of rare and exotic woods.

Essences are varied in nature, but are what power wands.

> ##### What Are Rare Woods?
> The most common examples would be from trees in exotic locations - wood from the feywild or from the outer planes. The exact nature of the wands can match the spell for flavor, but the details beyond rarity are not considered by default for the system. Some examples are provided at the end of this section.

\pagebreakNum

##### Purchasing Wooden Branches
Like with many materials, one popular method of acquisition is to simply spend gold. A piece of wood here is typically a branch about 2-3 feet long and moderately narrow, suitable for a wand with some whittling.

| Rarity     | Essence Price | 
| :---------:|:----------------:|
| Common Branch    | 1 cp             |
| Uncommon Branch  | 25 gp            |
| Rare Branch      | 80 gp            |
| Very Rare Branch | 800 gp           |
| Legendary Branch | 2,000 gp         |

### Crafting Roll

**Wand Whittling Crafting Modifier =** your Woodcarver’s tools proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier.

</div>

##### Success and Failure
For Wand Whittling, after you make the crafting roll and succeed, mark your progress on a crafting project. If you succeed, you make 2 hours of progress toward the total crafting item (and have completed one of the required checks for making an item).  Checks for Wand Whillting do not need to be immediately consecutive. Failure means that no progress is made during that time. Failing three times in a row results in the crafting project being a failure, and all materials are lost.

### Wand

##### Borboss’ Joyous Wand of Color
*Wand, common*
___

### Staff

##### Arcanist’s Bowstaff 
*Staff, very rare (requires attunement by a creature with an Intelligence of 17 or higher)*
___
When you attune to this quarterstaff, it remains solid in your grip but feels pliable within your mind. You can choose to use your Intelligence modifier for the attack and damage rolls made with this weapon instead of Strength. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.

When you make an attack with this magic weapon, you can choose to make the attack at range. When you do, you use your mind to telekinetically curve the quarterstaff into the form of a longbow. The bow is magically strung with an arcane energy that arcs between the rings on either end of the weapon. A glowing, magical arrow is formed whenever the arcing energy is drawn back. The arrow disappears after it hits a target. When you make a ranged attack with the quarterstaff in this way, the weapon is treated as if it were a magical longbow. This longbow can only use the ammunition that it generates and does not have the heavy property. While holding this weapon, you’re proficient with this longbow when using it in this way.

You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

In addition, this quarterstaff has 8 charges and regains 1d6 + 2 expended charges daily at dawn. When you take the Attack action with this weapon, you can expend 1 of its charges to cast the magic missile spell from the quarterstaff as a bonus action, instead of its normal casting time. When you do, the missiles are fired from either the bow or the quarterstaff ’s embossed faces.

##### Braided Quaterstaff
*Staff, uncommon*
___
This magical quarterstaff is made of a tightly knit length of braided rope. As a bonus action, you can speak the weapon’s command word to release its knotted form and loosen it into a 50-foot length of hempen rope. Speaking the command word again causes the rope to tighten back up into the quarterstaff. If a creature is restrained by the rope when you speak its command word, the rope tightens around the creature but does not crush it. Once tightened in this way, the restrained creature or an adjacent ally can use an action to escape following a successful DC 15 Strength or Dexterity check (their choice).

Tying an object no larger than six inches on a side to the end of the rope does not prevent it from reforming into the quarterstaff. The rope can only be broken by magical means. If broken, the rope cannot be transformed back into a quarterstaff.

##### Dragon Staff
*Staff, very rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)*
___
This ornate item has a floating dragon head with its mouth open at the top of the staff. As an action, you can cause the head to rotates and make a breath weapon attack, selecting one of the breath weapons listed below. You can use this property 3 times per long rest.

Each attack deals 8d10 damage of the chosen type.

* Acid. 45-foot line, 5 feet wide. DC 17 Dexterity saving throw for half damage.
* Cold. 45-foot cone. DC 17 Dexterity saving throw for half damage.
* Fire. 45-foot cone. DC 17 Dexterity saving throw for half damage.
* Lightning. 60-foot line, 5 feet wide. DC 17 Dexterity save for half damage.
* Poison. 45-foot cone. DC 17 Constitution saving throw for half damage.

##### Staff of Apocrypha
*Staff, rare*
___
The staff has 3 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spell save DC: black tentacles. The staff regains 1d4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff turn into ooze and is destroyed.

**Curse.** This staff is cursed, and becoming attuned to it extends the curse to you. As long as you remain cursed, your hit points maximum are reduced by 5 each day at dawn as the staff suck on your life energy to regain its charges. This reduction last until a remove curse spell is used on you. You die if this effect reduces your hit point maximum to 0.

#####  Staff of the Leshen
*Staff, very rare (requires attunement by a Druid)*
___
This staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff that grants a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. While holding it, you have a +2 bonus to spell attack rolls and to the saving throw DCs.

The staff has 10 charges for the following properties. It regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff harnesses the darkness and evil spirits around in an attempt to regrow the former Leshen. A Leshen appears in a 120 feet radius as the staff disappears.
___
**Spells**

You can use an action to expend 1 or more of the staff's charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spell save DC:

* Entangle (1 charge)
* Spike Growth (2 charges)
* Plant Growth (3 charges)
* Speak with Plants (3 charges)
* Grasping Vine (4 charges)
* Insect Plague (5 charges)
* Wall of Thorns (6 charges)

##### Staff of the Sorcerer King 
*Staff, legendary (requires attunement by a spellcaster)*
___
This ebony staff bears a bronze spear tip and additional blades carved to depict a winged scarab. The staff can be wielded as a magic spear that grants a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. You are considered proficient with this weapon while you are attuned to it, even if you aren’t proficient with spears. While you hold it, you gain a +2 bonus to spell attack rolls.

Cull Subjects. Humanoids roll at disadvantage to save against spells you cast while attuned to the staff.

Spell Shield. While attuned to this staff, you have advantage on saving throws against any spell that targets only you.

Cursed. This staff is cursed, and becoming attuned to it extends the curse to you. Until the curse is broken with remove curse or similar magic, you are unwilling to part with the staff, keeping it within reach at all times. In addition, you have disadvantage on attack rolls made with weapons other than this one.

While you are attuned to the staff, once a day at midnight, you must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, your maximum hit points are reduced by 10 unless you are undead. These hit points can only be restored by means of a wish spell. If your maximum hit points are reduced to 0 in this way, you die and immediately rise as a wight.

##### Staff of the Zinogre
*Staff, rare (require attunement)*
___
You have resistance to lightning damage while you hold this staff.

The staff has 3 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 its charges to cast spirit guardians (save DC 15), which deals lightning damage instead of its normal damage type. When the spell ends, every creature, excluding creatures unaffected by the spell within 15 feet of you must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked back 10 feet and fall prone.

The staff regains 1d2 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn.

You can use an action to break the staff over your knee or against a solid surface. The staff is destroyed and lightning burst out in an explosion that expands to fill a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on it. Every creature in the area must make a DC 16 Strength saving throw, or be knocked back 10 feet, be paralyzed until the end of your next turn, and take 11d6 lightning damage on a failed saving throw or half as much damage on a successful save and isn't paralyzed.

## Woodcarving

### Quick Reference

While each step will go into more depth, the quick reference allows you to at a glance follow the steps to work items from leather.
* Select the **item** that you would like to craft from any of the **Woodcarving Tables**.
* Acquire the items listed in the **materials** column for that item.
* Use your **Woodcarving Tools**  tool to craft the option using the number hours listed in the **Crafting Time** column, or during a long rest using the crafting camp action if the crafting times is 2 hours or less.
* For **every 2 hours**, make a **crafting roll** of 1d20 + your Dexterity + your proficiency bonus with a Woodworking Tools. 
* **On success**, you mark 2 hours of completed time. Once the completed time is equal to the crafting time, the item is complete. **On failure**, the crafting time is lost and no progress has been made during the 2 hours. If you fail 3 times in a row, the crafting is a failure and all materials are lost.

### Related Tool & Ability Score

Woodworking works using Woodworking Tools. Attempting craft items with Woodworking without these will almost always be made with disadvantage, and proficiency with these allows you to add your proficiency in them to any Woodworking crafting roll.

\columnbreak

### Materials: Wood
Woodworking is a bit more straight forward than other types of crafting in that it primarily has only category of material: wood. This can come in several different form factors, but is measured as a

### Crafting Roll

Putting that together that means that when you would like to make an item, your crafting roll is as follows:

**Woodworking Modifier** = your Woodcarving Tools proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier

</div>

##### Success and Failure
For Woodworking, after you make the crafting roll and succeed, mark your progress on a crafting project. If you succeed, you make 2 hours of progress toward the total crafting item (and have completed one of the required checks for making an item). Checks for Woodworking do not need to be immediately consecutive. Failure means that no progress is made during that time. Once an item is started, even if no progress is made, the components reserved for that item.

If you fail three times, all progress and materials are lost and can no longer be salvaged.

##### Carved Branches
Woodworkers can increase the rarity of a branch through expert carving techniques. A wooden branch of higher quality produced through woodcarving cannot be used as a the material for a higher level carved branch, but otherwise a carved branch serves as a branch of that rarity for crafting (such as enchanting or other woodworking items that call for a branch of that rarity).

Effectively, carving the branch can only increase the rarity of a branch by one step.

##### Bow of Magic Missiles
*Weapon (any bow), very rare (requires attunement by a creature that is proficient with shortbows or longbows)*
___
You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. In addition, it has 5 charges. While holding it, you can expend 1 charge as an action and draw the bowstring, causing two gleaming arrows of magical force to materialize. You immediately fire each arrow at a creature that you can see within 600 feet. You can direct the arrows at one creature or multiple, and each arrow automatically hits its target, striking simultaneously. You can choose to expend additional charges as part of the same action to fire one extra arrow per charge expended. Each arrow deals force damage equal to 1d6 + your proficiency bonus. The bow regains 1d4 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the bow’s last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the bow retains its +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls but loses all other properties.

##### More Common Magic

*Not just for enchanters*

While magical items is generally thought of as the domain of enchanters, a skilled crafter with the correct knowledge may be able to craft certain magic items with this variant rule. If you have proficiency in Arcana, you can use your crafting skill to craft items from certain enchanting tables as per the table below. When making items this way, you can only make items of types you can normally make.

If another creature proficient in arcana assists for the full duration of the craft, they can serve as a replacement for proficiency in arcana.
