Elva

I
IttyBitty

Elva is a vast world of unrealised potential, her inhabitants forgotten by their Gods.


Author's Note: Elva was once a world filled with the presence and recognition of Gods, of whom were active in the lives of the mortals who inhabited the lands. The world is filled wth life from blistering deserts, bubbling swamps, cavernous mountains, serene beaches, mysterious forests, and everything else in between. Elva, once named after the Goddess of life and earth, was the pride of the dieties and the inhabitants, while they did war, respected their dieties. However, like with most things, all good things must come to an end and Elva fell from favor from the Gods one by one. Why? Nobody knew. Had the Dieties grown bored? Had the peoples offended them? Was the world corrupted? Were the dieties held captive? Or perhaps, somehow, the magic of the world was dying? While a large population had grown used to a world without dieties, a devout populace was desperately trying to find their dieties and uncover why they all disappeared. Will you live the life of a villager trying to make ends meet? Maybe you are an adventurer looking for gems and forgotten treasures. Have you taken an interest in archeological discoveries? Perhaps you are a prince or princess trying to find love or trying to navigate the politics of an arranged marriage? Or... maybe... you are one of the few who are searching for the Gods and yearning for the day they return? The world is for you to discover.

Actions

Etherealness

The ghost enters the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, or vice versa. It is visible on the Material Plane while it is in the Border Ethereal, and vice versa, yet it can't affect or be affected by anything on the other plane.

Horrifying Visage

Each non-undead creature within 60 ft. of the ghost that can see it must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. If the save fails by 5 or more, the target also ages 1d4 × 10 years. A frightened target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the frightened condition on itself on a success. If a target's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the target is immune to this ghost's Horrifying Visage for the next 24 hours. The aging effect can be reversed with a greater restoration spell, but only within 24 hours of it occurring.

Possession

One humanoid that the ghost can see within 5 ft. of it must succeed on a DC 13 Charisma saving throw or be possessed by the ghost; the ghost then disappears, and the target is incapacitated and loses control of its body. The ghost now controls the body but doesn't deprive the target of awareness. The ghost can't be targeted by any attack, spell, or other effect, except ones that turn undead, and it retains its alignment, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma, and immunity to being charmed and frightened. It otherwise uses the possessed target's statistics, but doesn't gain access to the target's knowledge, class features, or proficiencies. The possession lasts until the body drops to 0 hit points, the ghost ends it as a bonus action, or the ghost is turned or forced out by an effect like the dispel evil and good spell. When the possession ends, the ghost reappears in an unoccupied space within 5 ft. of the body. The target is immune to this ghost's Possession for 24 hours after succeeding on the saving throw or after the possession ends.

Withering Touch

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (4d6 + 3) necrotic damage.
