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.

Etherealness

Description

You step into the border regions of the Ethereal Plane, in the area where it overlaps with your current plane. You remain in the Border Ethereal for the duration or until you use your action to dismiss the spell. During this time, you can move in any direction. If you move up or down, every foot of movement costs an extra foot. You can see and hear the plane you originated from, but everything there looks gray, and you can't see anything more than 60 feet away. While on the Ethereal Plane, you can only affect and be affected by other creatures on that plane. Creatures that aren't on the Ethereal Plane can't perceive you and can't interact with you, unless a special ability or magic has given them the ability to do so. You ignore all objects and effects that aren't on the Ethereal Plane, allowing you to move through objects you perceive on the plane you originated from. When the spell ends, you immediately return to the plane you originated from in the spot you currently occupy. If you occupy the same spot as a solid object or creature when this happens, you are immediately shunted to the nearest unoccupied space that you can occupy and take force damage equal to twice the number of feet you are moved. This spell has no effect if you cast it while you are on the Ethereal Plane or a plane that doesn't border it, such as one of the Outer Planes.
