Eternal winter

J
JJ_

Desolate, endless winter, sweeping across barren land littered with the ruins of times past.


Author's Note: In a frigid, desolate world, howling winds sweep across endless stretches of barren land, littered with the remnants of forgotten civilizations. Crumbling structures peek through layers of ice and snow, their once-vibrant stories silenced. Scavengers roam this frozen wasteland, bartering with salvaged artifacts—rusted machinery, tattered relics, and fragments of history—each a precious currency against the harshness of enduring cold, where survival hinges on the shared memories of a lost age. In a frigid world, the sun is essential for survival. Its rays temporarily melt the harsh chill, awakening life and hope in the barren landscape. Scavengers rely on its warmth to stave off frostbite and navigate their cold expanse. Without the sun's embrace, despair looms—a reminder that each day is a precious gift against the relentless freeze.

Contact Other Plane

Description

You mentally contact a demigod, the spirit of a long-dead sage, or some other mysterious entity from another plane. Contacting this extraplanar intelligence can strain or even break your mind. When you cast this spell, make a DC 15 intelligence saving throw. On a failure, you take 6d6 psychic damage and are insane until you finish a long rest. While insane, you can't take actions, can't understand what other creatures say, can't read, and speak only in gibberish. A greater restoration spell cast on you ends this effect. On a successful save, you can ask the entity up to five questions. You must ask your questions before the spell ends. The DM answers each question with one word, such as "yes," "no," "maybe," "never," "irrelevant," or "unclear" (if the entity doesn't know the answer to the question). If a one-word answer would be misleading, the DM might instead offer a short phrase as an answer.
