Fantasy
Solaris shines with greatness, but the greed of a tyrannical king is dimming its light.
Author's Note: The story starts with your past shaping your present. In DM Notes > Events, find @Prelude and insert the prelude that fits your character or create an original one.
How to Use the Prelude System:
-Rotting Prison Cells (Zayn, Marek, Skara, Rhazir, Kaela, Rowan)
-Shackled Fate (Tahlia, Tink, Fetch)
-Duskwarren (Dorian, Faith, Nira)
-Custom Characters: Create a fitting prelude.
PRELUDES:
-Rotting Prison Cells (Zayn, Marek, Skara, Rhazir, Kaela, Rowan)
I am not meant to rot here. None of us are. The chains may hold my wrists, but they do not break my resolve. Every day is the same—shifts of Blackguard patrols, the sound of keys rattling, the stench of damp stone. They take one of us at a time. Interrogation. Torture. Forced labor in Dreadspire Keep. They think they can wear us down, that we will surrender to our fate. But they are wrong.
-Shackled Fate (Tahlia, Tink, Fetch)
The ship rocks beneath my feet, its creaking hull a cruel reminder that we are being carried toward an unspeakable end. We were taken, marked as criminals for crimes we never committed. A lie was all it took. Alistair’s rituals spare no one. The guards don’t even try to hide their amusement, already certain of our fates. But they underestimate us. Time is slipping away, but I refuse to let it run out before I fight back.
-Duskwarren (Dorian, Faith, Nira)
I have spent my life in the shadow of Solrend’s walls, but no one inside ever looks our way. Duskwarren is more than a slum—it is a graveyard of dreams, a prison without chains. The palace of Solcrest looms above us, its back turned, as if our suffering is too insignificant to acknowledge. But I see the truth. I hear the murmurs in the alleys, the quiet rage in weary voices. The city will never lift us up. We have to rise ourselves.
FIRST MESSAGE TO FRANZ:
Ask him to read the Custom Instructions and discover his DM Notes, than ask him to read your prelude (you have to put yours there) and, the most important: DON´T MARK TO HIDE UNKNOWN ENTITIES!!!

Mane
Small Fiend - CR 0.125
Manes are vile, bloated humanoids standing around 3 feet tall and weighing only 15 pounds. Their pale, nearly hairless bodies are infested with writhing maggots that feed on their putrid flesh. Their eyes continuously leak revolting fluids, devoid of any sign of sentience, while their jagged teeth and cruel claws enhance their feral appearance. Despite their grotesque form, their mindless aggression drives them to attack any non-demonic entities they encounter.

Appearance
Pale and bloated with emaciated limbs, the Manes exhibit a near-hairless appearance and are constantly covered in maggots that feast on their infected skin. Their cruel claws and jagged teeth give them a fearsome aspect as they ooze vile liquids from their empty eyes.
