Atherion

A
Arkon

A world with floating land masses, and mysteries in the mist.


Author's Note: Atherion, a world suspended between twin suns and cradled by a lattice of floating continents, magic pulses like a living heartbeat. The landmasses drift lazily across an endless sky-ocean called the Ethereal Veil, a shimmering expanse of azure mist where gravity bends and ships sail on currents of arcane wind. Each continent is a tapestry of jagged peaks, sprawling forests, and glowing crystal caverns, stitched together by rivers of liquid starlight that cascade into the Veil below, vanishing into the unknown depths. Beneath it all, the Ethereal Veil hums with secrets. Strange lights flicker in its depths, and sailors speak of voices calling from below. Some say it’s the echo of the First Kin, others a slumbering god. Whatever the truth, Atherion teeters on the edge of revelation—or ruin.

Speak with Dead

Description

You grant the semblance of life and intelligence to a corpse of your choice within range, allowing it to answer the questions you pose. The corpse must still have a mouth and can't be undead. The spell fails if the corpse was the target of this spell within the last 10 days. Until the spell ends, you can ask the corpse up to five questions. The corpse knows only what it knew in life, including the languages it knew. Answers are usually brief, cryptic, or repetitive, and the corpse is under no compulsion to offer a truthful answer if you are hostile to it or it recognizes you as an enemy. This spell doesn't return the creature's soul to its body, only its animating spirit. Thus, the corpse can't learn new information, doesn't comprehend anything that has happened since it died, and can't speculate about future events.
