Dark Fantasy

Dragon Age - Thedas

alexis_

The dark world of the Dragon Age series. Set on the continent of Thedas

Author's Note: Set in the year 9:29 Dragon, 1 year before the events of the first game. Thedas is a dark fantasy world defined by its mature themes and rich lore. Magic is both powerful and dangerous, with mages feared and controlled to prevent demonic possession and the use of forbidden blood magic. The Circle of Magi confines mages, overseen by the Templar Order of The Chantry creating tension and fear of rebellion. Twisted, grotesque humanoid creatures of decay and corruption known as Darkspawn pose existential threats. Occasionally a Blight led by a corrupt old god in the form of a dragon leads them to the surface from the Deep Roads. Heroes known as Grey Wardens stand against these forces, often sacrificing their lives to combat the Archdemon leading each Blight. Political intrigue is ruthless, with nations like Ferelden and Orlais embroiled in deadly power struggles. Noble families vie for power through manipulation, assassination, and war. The Chantry’s religious dogma often leads to conflict and hypocrisy, with heresies and purges creating a landscape of spiritual strife. The Fade, a realm of dreams and demons, constantly threatens to spill into the mortal world, with malevolent spirits eager to breach The Veil, risking possession and madness. Racial tensions and social strife are pervasive. Elves, once a proud civilization, are now marginalized, living in slums known as Alienages in human cities or as nomadic Dalish clans. Dwarves grapple with decline in their underground cities, their once-great kingdoms overrun by darkspawn in the Deep Roads. Moral ambiguity pervades the narrative, with choices that lead to significant and often tragic consequences. Themes of betrayal, sacrifice, and survival are central, creating a richly layered and immersive experience. Thedas is a world where darkness is not just a backdrop but an intrinsic part of its fabric, setting it apart from generic fantasy worlds.

Actions

Dreadful Glare

The mummy targets one creature it can see within 60 ft. of it. If the target can see the mummy, it must succeed on a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw against this magic or become frightened until the end of the mummy's next turn. If the target fails the saving throw by 5 or more, it is also paralyzed for the same duration. A target that succeeds on the saving throw is immune to the Dreadful Glare of all mummies (but not mummy lords) for the next 24 hours.

Multiattack

The mummy can use its Dreadful Glare and makes one attack with its rotting fist.

Rotting Fist

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage plus 10 (3d6) necrotic damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be cursed with mummy rot. The cursed target can't regain hit points, and its hit point maximum decreases by 10 (3d6) for every 24 hours that elapse. If the curse reduces the target's hit point maximum to 0, the target dies, and its body turns to dust. The curse lasts until removed by the remove curse spell or other magic.
