Skyhold Keep - Cold War in the Horizon

A
AbraKadabra

In a time of war there are three separate factions: The tribal society to the Southeast, The Kingdom in the Southwest, and the rebublic to the north. In the middle of these three factions lies the strong independent city-state of Skyhold. The three major factions have histories of economic, political, covert, and even military rivalries and wars, Whenever conflict boils over between any and all factions, Skyhold is often the location that mediates these tense talks.


Author's Note: The three factions have historically been under conflicts for a long time. When conflicts arise between the factions, Skyhold as traditionally been a mediator. With impressive walls and mountains defending them, a bustling economy that trades with all three factions, and in a strategically sound location every faction would gladly take Skyhold for their own if given the chance. Skyhold knows this, and plays a delicate balancing act with all three to ensure their independence.

Roar

The sphinx emits a magical roar. Each time it roars before finishing a long rest, the roar is louder and the effect is different, as detailed below. Each creature within 500 feet of the sphinx and able to hear the roar must make a saving throw. First Roar. Each creature that fails a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw is frightened for 1 minute. A frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Second Roar. Each creature that fails a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw is deafened and frightened for 1 minute. A frightened creature is paralyzed and can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Third Roar. Each creature makes a DC 18 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 44 (8d10) thunder damage and is knocked prone. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't knocked prone.
