Crownlands of Solaris

Sigaojao

Solaris shines with greatness, but the greed of a tyrannical king is dimming its light.

Author's Note: Welcome to the realm of Solaris, a land of grandeur and decay. The golden kingdom, ruled by a tyrant king, hides its darkness behind a veil of splendor. Your journey begins not with freedom, but in the depths of despair. Captured, betrayed, or wronged, you’ve spent weeks rotting in the dungeon of Dreadspire Keep. Shackled, bruised, and surrounded by others sharing your plight, you have endured misery and hopelessness. None of you chose this fate! Cast away for defying the king, for being a threat, or perhaps for no reason at all. But here, in the shadows of this prison, you still hold one power: the choice to accept your fate or resist it. **SUGGESTION FOR FIRST MESSAGE TO FRANZ** The shadows of Dreadspire Keep suffocate us, as if the walls themselves conspire to break what little remains of our spirits. For two weeks now, we’ve lingered here—forgotten, discarded. Chained and bruised, our fate is shrouded in uncertainty. Will we be thrown into the Crimson Colosseum to entertain the nobles and die? Marched to a public execution as a spectacle? Or worse... enslaved, condemned to lives of endless suffering? None of us are here by choice—what brought us to this place hardly matters anymore. We've shared enough words to know each other's names, and that's all we need. Names and stories won’t save us; they won’t stop the rot seeping into these stones or the despair creeping into our souls. We are not comrades, not yet—but we share this misery, and that might just make us something more than strangers. (I stand, my voice breaking the silence.) "Whatever they plan for us... they’ll regret not finishing the job when they had the chance."

Description

This cube is about an inch across. Each face has a distinct marking on it that can be pressed. The cube starts with 36 charges, and it regains 1d20 expended charges daily at dawn. You can use an action to press one of the cube's faces, expending a number of charges based on the chosen face, as shown in the Cube of Force Faces table. Each face has a different effect. If the cube has insufficient charges remaining, nothing happens. Otherwise, a barrier of invisible force springs into existence, forming a cube 15 feet on a side. The barrier is centered on you, moves with you, and lasts for 1 minute, until you use an action to press the cube's sixth face, or the cube runs out of charges. You can change the barrier's effect by pressing a different face of the cube and expending the requisite number of charges, resetting the duration. If your movement causes the barrier to come into contact with a solid object that can't pass through the cube, you can't move any closer to that object as long as the barrier remains. Cube of Force Faces | Face | Charges | Effect | |---|---|---| | 1 | 1 | Gases, wind, and fog can't pass through the barrier. | 2 | 2 | Nonliving matter can't pass through the barrier. Walls, floors, and ceilings can pass through at your discretion. | 3 | 3 | Living matter can't pass through the barrier. | 4 | 4 | Spell effects can't pass through the barrier. | 5 | 5 | Nothing can pass through the barrier. Walls, floors, and ceilings can pass through at your discretion. | 6 | 0 | The barrier deactivates. The cube loses charges when the barrier is targeted by certain spells or comes into contact with certain spell or magic item effects, as shown in the table below. | Spell or Item | Charges Lost | |---|---| | Disintegrate | 1d12 | | Horn of blasting | 1d10 | | Passwall | 1d6 | | Prismatic spray | 1d20 | | Wall of fire | 1d4 |
