Elarion is a sprawling and enchanting world, teeming with diverse landscapes, ancient magic

Author's Note: Elarion is a sprawling and enchanting world, teeming with diverse landscapes, ancient magic, and a rich tapestry of cultures. From the gleaming spires of Sunspire in the prosperous Kingdom of Avalor, where noble knights uphold chivalric traditions, to the mystical depths of Eloria's Enchanted Forest, where elves and druids commune with nature amidst glowing flora, every corner of Elarion is steeped in wonder and history. The Desert of Khalidar stretches endlessly, its golden dunes hiding secrets of lost civilizations, while the bustling oasis city of Qasar thrives as a hub of trade and intrigue. In the frigid Frostlands of Norheim, the hardy inhabitants of Icehold carve out a life among towering glaciers and frozen tundras, embodying resilience and strength. Mystara's Isles are cloaked in perpetual mist, a realm of seafaring adventure and hidden dangers, where the port city of Nereus buzzes with the tales of sailors and pirates. The lands are watched over by powerful factions such as the Order of the Radiant Dawn, shining beacons of justice, and the Arcane Consortium, keepers of ancient magical knowledge. Shadows lurk, too, in the form of the clandestine Shadow Hand, manipulating events from the darkness, while the Circle of the Wild stands vigilant in protecting nature's balance. Amidst this backdrop of grandeur and peril, your journey begins in Greenhaven, a town on the edge of the Whispering Woods, renowned for its vibrant Harvest Festival. The air is filled with the scents of celebration, yet whispers of dark omens cast a subtle shadow over the festivities. As the townsfolk revel in the joyous occasion, an undercurrent of unease hints at the adventures and mysteries that await those brave enough to explore the depths of Elarion.

Pipes of the Sewers

Uncommon•Gear (Wondrous Items)

Weight2.00 lb.

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.
