A race to find the Scribe’s writings and perform the Rite of the Ashen Quill


Author's Note: Valthora is a fractured continent centered on the Ashen Crown, a volcanic mountain range with fiery peaks glowing in red and orange, its calderas pulsing with arcane energy. Surrounding it are five regions: the Ashborn Plains (North), a windswept expanse of ashen grass and jagged ridges; the Emberfall Wastes (Northwest), a desolate plain of cracked, sulfurous earth in sickly yellow-green; the Crimson Hollows (Northeast), a maze of red-stained canyons with an air of tension; the Shattered Coast (Southwest), a stormy shoreline of shipwrecks and leviathan bones in muted blues; and the Eldergrove Veil (Southeast), an enchanted forest of towering trees and vibrant wildlife, shrouded in mist with greens and golds. Once a unified kingdom, Valthora was torn apart by a cataclysm tied to the Scribe, a mysterious figure whose actions unleashed the Ashen Crown’s fury, leaving the land scarred and divided. Now, factions like the zealous Order of the Scribe, the fierce Ashborn Clans, the bloodthirsty Crimson Pact, the sea-faring Tideborn Covenant, and the protective Guardians of the Veil vie for control. A hidden power linked to the Scribe’s legacy drives conflict, with ancient writings and a forgotten ritual at the heart of their struggle, threatening to either heal or destroy Valthora. The land itself, hostile and alive with dark energy, challenges all who seek to shape its fate in this gothic fantasy realm.

Find Familiar

Description

You gain the service of a familiar, a spirit that takes an animal form you choose: bat, cat, crab, frog (toad), hawk, lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, fish (quipper), rat, raven, sea horse, spider, or weasel. Appearing in an unoccupied space within range, the familiar has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is a celestial, fey, or fiend (your choice) instead of a beast. Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. A familiar can't attack, but it can take other actions as normal. When the familiar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form. It reappears after you cast this spell again. While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an action, you can see through your familiar's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the familiar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses. As an action, you can temporarily dismiss your familiar. It disappears into a pocket dimension where it awaits your summons. Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As an action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. You can't have more than one familiar at a time. If you cast this spell while you already have a familiar, you instead cause it to adopt a new form. Choose one of the forms from the above list. Your familiar transforms into the chosen creature. Finally, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use your attack modifier for the roll.
