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

You create an illusion of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon within range that activates when a specific condition occurs. The illusion is imperceptible until then. It must be no larger than a 30-foot cube, and you decide when you cast the spell how the illusion behaves and what sounds it makes. This scripted performance can last up to 5 minutes. When the condition you specify occurs, the illusion springs into existence and performs in the manner you described. Once the illusion finishes performing, it disappears and remains dormant for 10 minutes. After this time, the illusion can be activated again. The triggering condition can be as general or as detailed as you like, though it must be based on visual or audible conditions that occur within 30 feet of the area. For example, you could create an illusion of yourself to appear and warn off others who attempt to open a trapped door, or you could set the illusion to trigger only when a creature says the correct word or phrase. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature that uses its action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image, and any noise it makes sounds hollow to the creature.
