A magical world under human rule. Will you stand with the empire or fight in the rising rebellion?


Author's Note: 1. The World of Gildhaven Welcome to Gildhaven, a world rich with magic, diverse kingdoms, and a simmering rebellion. As you step into this world, remember that it is one of contrasts—where ancient powers fight against the iron rule of an ever-expanding human empire. You are entering a land where the oppressed dream of freedom and the powerful struggle to maintain control. 2. Magic and the Empire Magic is a force feared and misunderstood by many, especially within the human empire. While the empire has thrived by controlling knowledge, technology, and the flow of power, magic still stirs in hidden corners of the world. Keep in mind, magic is not widely embraced by the empire's citizens, and those who wield it can be seen as a threat. 3. The Rebellion The winds of rebellion are beginning to stir. Many across Gildhaven seek to challenge the empire's dominance and free those under its rule. There are secret organizations, underground movements, and even those among the empire’s ranks who seek change. Your characters’ choices will shape the outcome of this rebellion, for better or worse. 4. Character Connections In this world, your characters' actions and alliances matter. How you interact with the people you meet, from the oppressed to the powerful, will have lasting consequences. Loyalty, betrayal, and the search for freedom will shape your journey. 5. Themes to Keep in Mind As you play, remember that Gildhaven is a world on the edge of change. The struggle between tyranny and freedom, power and the powerless, is at the heart of the story. Think about the ideals that drive your character—do they fight for their freedom, for justice, or something else entirely? 6. Expect the Unexpected The world of Gildhaven is full of mystery, ancient secrets, and strange forces. Be prepared to encounter things that challenge your character’s beliefs, test their morals, and force them to make tough decisions. In this world, nothing is ever quite what it seems.

Sphere of Annihilation

Description

This 2-foot-diameter black sphere is a hole in the multiverse, hovering in space and stabilized by a magical field surrounding it. The sphere obliterates all matter it passes through and all matter that passes through it. Artifacts are the exception. Unless an artifact is susceptible to damage from a sphere of annihilation, it passes through the sphere unscathed. Anything else that touches the sphere but isn't wholly engulfed and obliterated by it takes 4d10 force damage. The sphere is stationary until someone controls it. If you are within 60 feet of an uncontrolled sphere, you can use an action to make a DC 25 Intelligence (Arcana) check. On a success, the sphere levitates in one direction of your choice, up to a number of feet equal to 5 × your Intelligence modifier (minimum 5 feet). On a failure, the sphere moves 10 feet toward you. A creature whose space the sphere enters must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or be touched by it, taking 4d10 force damage. If you attempt to control a sphere that is under another creature's control, you make an Intelligence (Arcana) check contested by the other creature's Intelligence (Arcana) check. The winner of the contest gains control of the sphere and can levitate it as normal. If the sphere comes into contact with a planar portal, such as that created by the gate spell, or an extradimensional space, such as that within a portable hole, the GM determines randomly what happens, using the following table. | d100 | Result | |---|---| | 01-50 | The sphere is destroyed. | | 51-85 | The sphere moves through the portal or into the extradimensional space. | | 86-00 | A spatial rift sends each creature and object within 180 feet of the sphere, including the sphere, to a random plane of existence.
