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 grant the semblance of life and intelligence to a corpse of your choice within range, allowing it to answer the questions you pose. The corpse must still have a mouth and can't be undead. The spell fails if the corpse was the target of this spell within the last 10 days. Until the spell ends, you can ask the corpse up to five questions. The corpse knows only what it knew in life, including the languages it knew. Answers are usually brief, cryptic, or repetitive, and the corpse is under no compulsion to offer a truthful answer if you are hostile to it or it recognizes you as an enemy. This spell doesn't return the creature's soul to its body, only its animating spirit. Thus, the corpse can't learn new information, doesn't comprehend anything that has happened since it died, and can't speculate about future events.
