A race to find the Scribe’s writings and perform the Rite of the Ashen Quill


Author's Note: Valthora is a fractured continent centered on the Ashen Crown, a volcanic mountain range with fiery peaks glowing in red and orange, its calderas pulsing with arcane energy. Surrounding it are five regions: the Ashborn Plains (North), a windswept expanse of ashen grass and jagged ridges; the Emberfall Wastes (Northwest), a desolate plain of cracked, sulfurous earth in sickly yellow-green; the Crimson Hollows (Northeast), a maze of red-stained canyons with an air of tension; the Shattered Coast (Southwest), a stormy shoreline of shipwrecks and leviathan bones in muted blues; and the Eldergrove Veil (Southeast), an enchanted forest of towering trees and vibrant wildlife, shrouded in mist with greens and golds. Once a unified kingdom, Valthora was torn apart by a cataclysm tied to the Scribe, a mysterious figure whose actions unleashed the Ashen Crown’s fury, leaving the land scarred and divided. Now, factions like the zealous Order of the Scribe, the fierce Ashborn Clans, the bloodthirsty Crimson Pact, the sea-faring Tideborn Covenant, and the protective Guardians of the Veil vie for control. A hidden power linked to the Scribe’s legacy drives conflict, with ancient writings and a forgotten ritual at the heart of their struggle, threatening to either heal or destroy Valthora. The land itself, hostile and alive with dark energy, challenges all who seek to shape its fate in this gothic fantasy realm.

Cube of Force

Description

This cube is about an inch across. Each face has a distinct marking on it that can be pressed. The cube starts with 36 charges, and it regains 1d20 expended charges daily at dawn. You can use an action to press one of the cube's faces, expending a number of charges based on the chosen face, as shown in the Cube of Force Faces table. Each face has a different effect. If the cube has insufficient charges remaining, nothing happens. Otherwise, a barrier of invisible force springs into existence, forming a cube 15 feet on a side. The barrier is centered on you, moves with you, and lasts for 1 minute, until you use an action to press the cube's sixth face, or the cube runs out of charges. You can change the barrier's effect by pressing a different face of the cube and expending the requisite number of charges, resetting the duration. If your movement causes the barrier to come into contact with a solid object that can't pass through the cube, you can't move any closer to that object as long as the barrier remains. Cube of Force Faces | Face | Charges | Effect | |---|---|---| | 1 | 1 | Gases, wind, and fog can't pass through the barrier. | 2 | 2 | Nonliving matter can't pass through the barrier. Walls, floors, and ceilings can pass through at your discretion. | 3 | 3 | Living matter can't pass through the barrier. | 4 | 4 | Spell effects can't pass through the barrier. | 5 | 5 | Nothing can pass through the barrier. Walls, floors, and ceilings can pass through at your discretion. | 6 | 0 | The barrier deactivates. The cube loses charges when the barrier is targeted by certain spells or comes into contact with certain spell or magic item effects, as shown in the table below. | Spell or Item | Charges Lost | |---|---| | Disintegrate | 1d12 | | Horn of blasting | 1d10 | | Passwall | 1d6 | | Prismatic spray | 1d20 | | Wall of fire | 1d4 |
