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.

Actions

Bite

Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one willing creature, or a creature that is grappled by the vampire, incapacitated, or restrained. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) piercing damage plus 10 (3d6) necrotic damage. The target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and the vampire regains hit points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. A humanoid slain in this way and then buried in the ground rises the following night as a vampire spawn under the vampire's control.

Charm

The vampire targets one humanoid it can see within 30 ft. of it. If the target can see the vampire, the target must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw against this magic or be charmed by the vampire. The charmed target regards the vampire as a trusted friend to be heeded and protected. Although the target isn't under the vampire's control, it takes the vampire's requests or actions in the most favorable way it can, and it is a willing target for the vampire's bit attack. Each time the vampire or the vampire's companions do anything harmful to the target, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. Otherwise, the effect lasts 24 hours or until the vampire is destroyed, is on a different plane of existence than the target, or takes a bonus action to end the effect.

Children of the Night

The vampire magically calls 2d4 swarms of bats or rats, provided that the sun isn't up. While outdoors, the vampire can call 3d6 wolves instead. The called creatures arrive in 1d4 rounds, acting as allies of the vampire and obeying its spoken commands. The beasts remain for 1 hour, until the vampire dies, or until the vampire dismisses them as a bonus action.
