Varnathar

Funkylocks

A desolate world of barren wastes and rock formations, where ruins tell of a lost civilization.

Author's Note: Varnathar is a world ravaged by millennia of neglect and destruction. Once a vibrant land teeming with life, it now lies in a state of perpetual desolation. The sky is often choked with swirling, ashen clouds, casting a dull, sickly light over the barren landscape. Jagged rock formations pierce the earth like the bones of a long-dead titan, and vast stretches of cracked earth are interspersed with deep canyons and dried riverbeds. The wind howls through the ruins of ancient cities, carrying with it the echoes of a forgotten civilization. Only the hardiest of creatures survive here, thriving in the shadows of the once-glorious peaks and crumbled monuments that dot the land. Few dare to venture into the wastes, for those who do are often lost to the endless, unforgiving expanse. The world’s fractured history is told through the scattered remnants of its past—ruined temples, crumbling libraries, and broken statues that hint at a time of power and prosperity, long since lost. There is a constant undercurrent of decay, with the very earth itself seeming to mourn the passing of its glory days. Only the desperate or the foolhardy seek refuge in Varnathar’s heart, believing that among the ruins lie the answers to a greater mystery, or perhaps the key to reversing the devastation that has marred the world for centuries.

Deck of Illusions

Uncommon•Gear (Wondrous Items)

Weight0.10 lb.

Description

This box contains a set of parchment cards. A full deck has 34 cards. A deck found as treasure is usually missing 1d20 - 1 cards. The magic of the deck functions only if cards are drawn at random (you can use an altered deck of playing cards to simulate the deck). You can use an action to draw a card at random from the deck and throw it to the ground at a point within 30 feet of you. An illusion of one or more creatures forms over the thrown card and remains until dispelled. An illusory creature appears real, of the appropriate size, and behaves as if it were a real creature except that it can do no harm. While you are within 120 feet of the illusory creature and can see it, you can use an action to move it magically anywhere within 30 feet of its card. Any physical interaction with the illusory creature reveals it to be an illusion, because objects pass through it. Someone who uses an action to visually inspect the creature identifies it as illusory with a successful DC 15 Intelligence (Investigation) check. The creature then appears translucent. The illusion lasts until its card is moved or the illusion is dispelled. When the illusion ends, the image on its card disappears, and that card can't be used again. | Playing Card | Illusion | |---|---| | Ace of hearts | Red dragon | | King of hearts | Knight and four guards | | Queen of hearts | Succubus or incubus | | Jack of hearts | Druid | | Ten of hearts | Cloud giant | | Nine of hearts | Ettin | | Eight of hearts | Bugbear | | Two of hearts | Goblin | | Ace of diamonds | Beholder | | King of diamonds | Archmage and mage apprentice | | Queen of diamonds | Night hag | | Jack of diamonds | Assassin | | Ten of diamonds | Fire giant | | Nine of diamonds | Ogre mage | | Eight of diamonds | Gnoll | | Two of diamonds | Kobold | | Ace of spades | Lich | | King of spades | Priest and two acolytes | | Queen of spades | Medusa | | Jack of spades | Veteran | | Ten of spades | Frost giant | | Nine of spades | Troll | | Eight of spades | Hobgoblin | | Two of spades | Goblin | | Ace of clubs | Iron golem | | King of clubs | Bandit captain and three bandits | | Queen of clubs | Erinyes | | Jack of clubs | Berserker | | Ten of clubs | Hill giant | | Nine of clubs | Ogre | | Eight of clubs | Orc | | Two of clubs | Kobold | | Jokers (2) | You (the deck's owner) |
