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.

Description

Wish is the mightiest spell a mortal creature can cast. By simply speaking aloud, you can alter the very foundations of reality in accord with your desires. The basic use of this spell is to duplicate any other spell of 8th level or lower. You don't need to meet any requirements in that spell, including costly components. The spell simply takes effect. Alternatively, you can create one of the following effects of your choice: - You create one object of up to 25,000 gp in value that isn't a magic item. The object can be no more than 300 feet in any dimension, and it appears in an unoccupied space you can see on the ground. - You allow up to twenty creatures that you can see to regain all hit points, and you end all effects on them described in the greater restoration spell. - You grant up to ten creatures you can see resistance to a damage type you choose. - You grant up to ten creatures you can see immunity to a single spell or other magical effect for 8 hours. For instance, you could make yourself and all your companions immune to a lich's life drain attack. - You undo a single recent event by forcing a reroll of any roll made within the last round (including your last turn). Reality reshapes itself to accommodate the new result. For example, a wish spell could undo an opponent's successful save, a foe's critical hit, or a friend's failed save. You can force the reroll to be made with advantage or disadvantage, and you can choose whether to use the reroll or the original roll. You might be able to achieve something beyond the scope of the above examples. State your wish to the DM as precisely as possible. The DM has great latitude in ruling what occurs in such an instance; the greater the wish, the greater the likelihood that something goes wrong. This spell might simply fail, the effect you desire might only be partly achieved, or you might suffer some unforeseen consequence as a result of how you worded the wish. For example, wishing that a villain were dead might propel you forward in time to a period when that villain is no longer alive, effectively removing you from the game. Similarly, wishing for a legendary magic item or artifact might instantly transport you to the presence of the item's current owner. The stress of casting this spell to produce any effect other than duplicating another spell weakens you. After enduring that stress, each time you cast a spell until you finish a long rest, you take 1d10 necrotic damage per level of that spell. This damage can't be reduced or prevented in any way. In addition, your Strength drops to 3, if it isn't 3 or lower already, for 2d4 days. For each of those days that you spend resting and doing nothing more than light activity, your remaining recovery time decreases by 2 days. Finally, there is a 33 percent chance that you are unable to cast wish ever again if you suffer this stress.
