Nexara is a vast, magical world where the 21st century collides with fantasy.

Author's Note: Author's Note: Nexara is a vast, magical realm where the 21st century meets fantasy, larger than Earth and home to diverse races, including humans, orcs, elves, dwarves, and wizards. Its cities blend skyscrapers powered by arcane energy with mana-fueled technologies, creating a unique mix of magic and modernity. However, ancient powers and dark forces continually vie for control beneath this advanced surface. Kingdom of Esabury Located in the Ghivanni Delta, Esabury is a powerful nation known for its economic strength and arcane innovations. Cities like Arcathis utilize arcane automobiles, planes, and firearms. Despite its prosperity, Esabury faced a brutal war against the Iron Dominion fifty years ago over the delta’s precious arcane crystals. The Iron Dominion To the north lies the Iron Dominion, ruled by the Council of Shadows, a group of malevolent warlocks. They use dark magic—necromancy and blood magic—to maintain control and seek to dominate the Ghivanni Delta for its resources. Although the Treaty of Aridon ended the war, fears persist about the Dominion amassing power and developing forbidden weapons. The United Elven States of Thalorwyn East of Esabury, Thalorwyn is a key ally led by the Circle of the Verdant. The elves balance arcane technology with environmental protection, wary of industrialization’s impacts. They played a crucial role in the war, providing magical support, and now focus on harmonizing ancient and modern magic. The Orcish Kingdom of Druukar To the west, Druukar is an industrious nation with arcane-powered factories. Ruled by warrior-chiefs, it maintains a strategic alliance with Esabury against the Iron Dominion. Tensions in Nexara Despite fifty years of peace, tensions are rising. The Iron Dominion’s pursuit of dark magic raises fears of renewed conflict. Control of the Ghivanni Delta’s arcane crystal mines remains contentious, with the potential for another war looming as the Dominion grows bolder.

Description

You must be proficient with wind instruments to use these pipes. While you are attuned to the pipes, ordinary rats and giant rats are indifferent toward you and will not attack you unless you threaten or harm them. The pipes have 3 charges. If you play the pipes as an action, you can use a bonus action to expend 1 to 3 charges, calling forth one swarm of rats with each expended charge, provided that enough rats are within half a mile of you to be called in this fashion (as determined by the GM). If there aren't enough rats to form a swarm, the charge is wasted. Called swarms move toward the music by the shortest available route but aren't under your control otherwise. The pipes regain 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. Whenever a swarm of rats that isn't under another creature's control comes within 30 feet of you while you are playing the pipes, you can make a Charisma check contested by the swarm's Wisdom check. If you lose the contest, the swarm behaves as it normally would and can't be swayed by the pipes' music for the next 24 hours. If you win the contest, the swarm is swayed by the pipes' music and becomes friendly to you and your companions for as long as you continue to play the pipes each round as an action. A friendly swarm obeys your commands. If you issue no commands to a friendly swarm, it defends itself but otherwise takes no actions. If a friendly swarm starts its turn and can't hear the pipes' music, your control over that swarm ends, and the swarm behaves as it normally would and can't be swayed by the pipes' music for the next 24 hours.
