Skyhold Keep - Cold War in the Horizon

A
AbraKadabra

In a time of war there are three separate factions: The tribal society to the Southeast, The Kingdom in the Southwest, and the rebublic to the north. In the middle of these three factions lies the strong independent city-state of Skyhold. The three major factions have histories of economic, political, covert, and even military rivalries and wars, Whenever conflict boils over between any and all factions, Skyhold is often the location that mediates these tense talks.


Author's Note: The three factions have historically been under conflicts for a long time. When conflicts arise between the factions, Skyhold as traditionally been a mediator. With impressive walls and mountains defending them, a bustling economy that trades with all three factions, and in a strategically sound location every faction would gladly take Skyhold for their own if given the chance. Skyhold knows this, and plays a delicate balancing act with all three to ensure their independence.

Description

This item symbolizes unrepentant evil. A creature that is neither good nor evil in alignment takes 6d6 necrotic damage upon touching the talisman. A good creature takes 8d6 necrotic damage upon touching the talisman. Either sort of creature takes the damage again each time it ends its turn holding or carrying the talisman. If you are an evil cleric or paladin, you can use the talisman as a holy symbol, and you gain a +2 bonus to spell attack rolls while you wear or hold it. The talisman has 6 charges. If you are wearing or holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 charge from the talisman and choose one creature you can see on the ground within 120 feet of you. If the target is of good alignment, a flaming fissure opens under it. The target must succeed on a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw or fall into the fissure and be destroyed, leaving no remains. The fissure then closes, leaving no trace of its existence. When you expend the last charge, the talisman dissolves into foul-smelling slime and is destroyed.
