Crownlands of Solaris

S
Sigaojao

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!!!

Description

Tyrant’s Gaze Hidden within the lowest chambers of the Eastern Gold Mine, behind collapsed tunnels and guarded passages, lies a massive cavern where a Beholder reigns. The walls are laced with pristine gold, untouched by pickaxes out of fear. The creature hovers above a jagged throne, its central eye gleaming with eerie intelligence. This is the true master of the mine, keeping both slaves and Blackguards in line through sheer terror. DM Notes: The Beholder has an agreement with King Alistair, ensuring the mine remains operational. However, it has its own ambitions and may turn on its "allies" if it sees a greater opportunity.

Appearance

The cavern is vast and dimly lit, with veins of gold glimmering in the darkness. The Beholder's throne is a jagged formation of rock, and the air is thick with tension, as slaves and Blackguards work under the watchful gaze of their master.
