Atherion

Arkon

A world with floating land masses, and mysteries in the mist.

Author's Note: Atherion, a world suspended between twin suns and cradled by a lattice of floating continents, magic pulses like a living heartbeat. The landmasses drift lazily across an endless sky-ocean called the Ethereal Veil, a shimmering expanse of azure mist where gravity bends and ships sail on currents of arcane wind. Each continent is a tapestry of jagged peaks, sprawling forests, and glowing crystal caverns, stitched together by rivers of liquid starlight that cascade into the Veil below, vanishing into the unknown depths. Beneath it all, the Ethereal Veil hums with secrets. Strange lights flicker in its depths, and sailors speak of voices calling from below. Some say it’s the echo of the First Kin, others a slumbering god. Whatever the truth, Atherion teeters on the edge of revelation—or ruin.

Actions

Bite

Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one willing creature, or a creature that is grappled by the vampire, incapacitated, or restrained. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) piercing damage plus 10 (3d6) necrotic damage. The target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and the vampire regains hit points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. A humanoid slain in this way and then buried in the ground rises the following night as a vampire spawn under the vampire's control.

Charm

The vampire targets one humanoid it can see within 30 ft. of it. If the target can see the vampire, the target must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw against this magic or be charmed by the vampire. The charmed target regards the vampire as a trusted friend to be heeded and protected. Although the target isn't under the vampire's control, it takes the vampire's requests or actions in the most favorable way it can, and it is a willing target for the vampire's bit attack. Each time the vampire or the vampire's companions do anything harmful to the target, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. Otherwise, the effect lasts 24 hours or until the vampire is destroyed, is on a different plane of existence than the target, or takes a bonus action to end the effect.

Children of the Night

The vampire magically calls 2d4 swarms of bats or rats, provided that the sun isn't up. While outdoors, the vampire can call 3d6 wolves instead. The called creatures arrive in 1d4 rounds, acting as allies of the vampire and obeying its spoken commands. The beasts remain for 1 hour, until the vampire dies, or until the vampire dismisses them as a bonus action.
