Author's Note: I am not an experienced world builder, and this is my first world. It's a standard DnD High Fantasy trope, but I hope you enjoy. Below is a list of possible starting scenarios and their corresponding locations. 1. You were shipwrecked and washed ashore. Location: Any dock/harbor. 2. You're a new student in the Council of Magic. Location: Council of Arcane Magic. 3. You arrive at the Adventurers Guild to register as a Guild Member. Location: Adventurers Guild. 4. You just arrived from a distant land. Location: Any dock/harbor. 5. You're an adventurer ambushed in the Desert. Location: Traveler's Rest. 6. You encounter goblins in the woods - Possible combat start. Location: Goblins Hollow. 7. You stop by a tavern to rest. Location: Any Tavern (Hint: Taverns have obvious words in it's name suggesting it's a tavern) 8. You recently joined the Order of the Gauntlet. Location: Sanctum of Justice. You might have to nudge Franz in the right direction now and then, so be sure to pay attention to your story.

Very RareGear (Rod)
Rod of Alertness
Weight2.00 lb.

Description

This rod has a flanged head and the following properties. ***Alertness.*** While holding the rod, you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks and on rolls for initiative. ***Spells.*** While holding the rod, you can use an action to cast one of the following spells from it: detect evil and good, detect magic, detect poison and disease, or see invisibility. ***Protective Aura.*** As an action, you can plant the haft end of the rod in the ground, whereupon the rod's head sheds bright light in a 60-foot radius and dim light for an additional 60 feet. While in that bright light, you and any creature that is friendly to you gain a +1 bonus to AC and saving throws and can sense the location of any invisible hostile creature that is also in the bright light. The rod's head stops glowing and the effect ends after 10 minutes, or when a creature uses an action to pull the rod from the ground. This property can't be used again until the next dawn.
