Entangled Souls

Njord

Consciousness may be shared or preserved: Integration is permanent; death is optional.

Author's Note: Step into Armiron, where consciousness is currency and your Φ shapes destinies. Ancient forests murmur with sentient thought; city‑minds pulse with shared memory. Will you defend individuality as a Severant or surrender self to the Integrated? Every ritual, every alliance tests the price of unity—and the meaning of free will. MAJOR FACTIONS • Severants (preserve selfhood; mnemonic rituals) • Integrated (shared minds; empathy at cost of freedom) • Liminal Court (arbiters of balance; secret agendas) KEY FACTS & FEATURES • 45 distinct locales: from the silent anti‑Φ sanctuaries of the Thoughtless Hall to the humming chaos of the Fracture Docks. • 8 boss encounters: Keeper of the Ash Gate, Decayed Guardian, Harbinger of Doom, and more. • Φ mechanics: measure or manipulate Φ to merge minds, erase pain, amplify collective power—or defend against forced integration. • Moral axis: isolation vs unity, with complex shades in between. PLAYSTYLE OPTIONS • Intrigue & Investigation: infiltrate the Red Ledger House, decode inverted sigils, unearth Court plots. • Exploration & Survival: brave the Ash Gate’s realm of regret; gather ancient stones, wind‑whispers, sky‑tears. • Combat & Ritual: wield Φ‑imbued blades, duel Decayed Guardians, perform healing or shattering rites. • Roleplay & Philosophy: debate free will vs determinism, parley with a god‑mind, decide who controls consciousness. GM TIP Start with Generate Areas and Generate Points of Interest switched off to ensure the campaign doesn't drift off into generic fantasy story-telling that doesn't relate to free will and consciousness.

Description

The Banshee of Fragmented Will is a tormented spirit, a remnant of a Severant that attempted to violently sever from a powerful Integrated mind. These spirits are shattered into dozens of conflicting shards, each representing a fragment of their former self, and they haunt the minds of the living, spreading psychic dissonance and confusion.

Actions

Discordant Wail

The Banshee unleashes a terrifying wail that resonates with the fractured identities within it. Each creature within 60 feet must make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be stunned until the end of their next turn.

Splintering Touch

The Banshee reaches out to touch a target. On a successful melee attack, the target must make a DC 16 Intelligence saving throw or suffer a -2 penalty to all mental checks until they complete a long rest.

Vanish and Reform

When the Banshee is pursued, it can scatter its shards into nearby minds, becoming incorporeal. It can reform in a location within 120 feet after 1 minute unless all hosts perform a synchronized ritual to prevent it.
