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.

Actions

Crush

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage, and the darkmantle attaches to the target. If the target is Medium or smaller and the darkmantle has advantage on the attack roll, it attaches by engulfing the target's head, and the target is also blinded and unable to breathe while the darkmantle is attached in this way. While attached to the target, the darkmantle can attack no other creature except the target but has advantage on its attack rolls. The darkmantle's speed also becomes 0, it can't benefit from any bonus to its speed, and it moves with the target. A creature can detach the darkmantle by making a successful DC 13 Strength check as an action. On its turn, the darkmantle can detach itself from the target by using 5 feet of movement.

Darkness Aura

A 15-foot radius of magical darkness extends out from the darkmantle, moves with it, and spreads around corners. The darkness lasts as long as the darkmantle maintains concentration, up to 10 minutes (as if concentrating on a spell). Darkvision can't penetrate this darkness, and no natural light can illuminate it. If any of the darkness overlaps with an area of light created by a spell of 2nd level or lower, the spell creating the light is dispelled.
