The Lord of the Rings: Shadow of Destiny

TheChugz

Middle-earth during the events of The Lord of the Rings.

Author's Note: As the War of the Ring rages, Middle-earth stands on the brink of ruin or salvation. In this vast, living world, you forge your own path—be it as a noble warrior fighting for Gondor, a cunning rogue navigating the streets of Bree, an Elven scout patrolling Mirkwood, or even a servant of the Dark Lord seeking to tip the scales in Sauron’s favor. While the Fellowship carries out its fateful quest, your journey unfolds across the lands of Middle-earth, where every choice shapes your destiny. Will you stand with the Free Peoples, battling against the growing shadow, or embrace the darkness and seize power for yourself? Your actions may tip the balance, altering the course of history or ensuring that events unfold as foretold. From the battlefields of Rohan to the depths of Moria, the power is in your hands. The fate of Middle-earth is not yet written—will you be its savior or its doom?

Black Breath

The Black Breath or Black Shadow is a weapon used by the Nazgûl. The Ringwraiths' breath was poisonous and can overpower those affected by it. Choose up to three creatures within range. Each must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, they are afflicted by the Black Breath: The creature gains one level of exhaustion. The creature has disadvantage on attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks for the spell’s duration. Magical healing received by the creature is halved for 24 hours. At the end of each of its turns, an affected creature can repeat the saving throw, ending the effects on itself with a success.

The Voice of Saruman

You utter a word of immense power and authority, compelling a creature to obey. The creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be Charmed or Paralyzed (your choice) for 1 minute. If the target has legendary resistance, it must expend one to resist. This spell does not affect creatures of greater power than you (e.g., Balrogs, powerful Maiar).

True Seeing

This spell gives the willing creature you touch the ability to see things as they actually are. For the duration, the creature has truesight, notices secret doors hidden by magic, and can see into the Ethereal Plane. True Seeing would unveil hidden spiritual realities, such as the true forms of beings like the Nazgûl. While invisible to ordinary sight, under True Seeing, the Nazgûl might appear in their spectral forms—twisted remnants of their once-human selves. True Seeing could pierce the Wraith-world, the shadowy plane where the power of the Rings of Power exerts influence. The wielder of the One Ring would appear in their dark, shadowy form, and the connection between the visible and the spiritual might become apparent.
