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.

Control Water

Description

Until the spell ends, you control any freestanding water inside an area you choose that is a cube up to 100 feet on a side. You can choose from any of the following effects when you cast this spell. As an action on your turn, you can repeat the same effect or choose a different one. **Flood.** You cause the water level of all standing water in the area to rise by as much as 20 feet. If the area includes a shore, the flooding water spills over onto dry land. instead create a 20-foot tall wave that travels from one side of the area to the other and then crashes down. Any Huge or smaller vehicles in the wave's path are carried with it to the other side. Any Huge or smaller vehicles struck by the wave have a 25 percent chance of capsizing. The water level remains elevated until the spell ends or you choose a different effect. If this effect produced a wave, the wave repeats on the start of your next turn while the flood effect lasts **Part Water.** You cause water in the area to move apart and create a trench. The trench extends across the spell's area, and the separated water forms a wall to either side. The trench remains until the spell ends or you choose a different effect. The water then slowly fills in the trench over the course of the next round until the normal water level is restored. **Redirect Flow.** You cause flowing water in the area to move in a direction you choose, even if the water has to flow over obstacles, up walls, or in other unlikely directions. The water in the area moves as you direct it, but once it moves beyond the spell's area, it resumes its flow based on the terrain conditions. The water continues to move in the direction you chose until the spell ends or you choose a different effect. **Whirlpool.** This effect requires a body of water at least 50 feet square and 25 feet deep. You cause a whirlpool to form in the center of the area. The whirlpool forms a vortex that is 5 feet wide at the base, up to 50 feet wide at the top, and 25 feet tall. Any creature or object in the water and within 25 feet of the vortex is pulled 10 feet toward it. A creature can swim away from the vortex by making a Strength (Athletics) check against your spell save DC. When a creature enters the vortex for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage and is caught in the vortex until the spell ends. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage, and isn't caught in the vortex. A creature caught in the vortex can use its action to try to swim away from the vortex as described above, but has disadvantage on the Strength (Athletics) check to do so. The first time each turn that an object enters the vortex, the object takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage; this damage occurs each round it remains in the vortex.
