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

You create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 20-foot cube. The image appears at a spot that you can see within range and lasts for the duration. It seems completely real, including sounds, smells, and temperature appropriate to the thing depicted. You can't create sufficient heat or cold to cause damage, a sound loud enough to deal thunder damage or deafen a creature, or a smell that might sicken a creature (like a troglodyte's stench). As long as you are within range of the illusion, you can use your action to cause the image to move to any other spot within range. As the image changes location, you can alter its appearance so that its movements appear natural for the image. For example, if you create an image of a creature and move it, you can alter the image so that it appears to be walking. Similarly, you can cause the illusion to make different sounds at different times, even making it carry on a conversation, for example. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature that uses its action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image, and its other sensory qualities become faint to the creature.
