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.

Description

Wish is the mightiest spell a mortal creature can cast. By simply speaking aloud, you can alter the very foundations of reality in accord with your desires. The basic use of this spell is to duplicate any other spell of 8th level or lower. You don't need to meet any requirements in that spell, including costly components. The spell simply takes effect. Alternatively, you can create one of the following effects of your choice: - You create one object of up to 25,000 gp in value that isn't a magic item. The object can be no more than 300 feet in any dimension, and it appears in an unoccupied space you can see on the ground. - You allow up to twenty creatures that you can see to regain all hit points, and you end all effects on them described in the greater restoration spell. - You grant up to ten creatures you can see resistance to a damage type you choose. - You grant up to ten creatures you can see immunity to a single spell or other magical effect for 8 hours. For instance, you could make yourself and all your companions immune to a lich's life drain attack. - You undo a single recent event by forcing a reroll of any roll made within the last round (including your last turn). Reality reshapes itself to accommodate the new result. For example, a wish spell could undo an opponent's successful save, a foe's critical hit, or a friend's failed save. You can force the reroll to be made with advantage or disadvantage, and you can choose whether to use the reroll or the original roll. You might be able to achieve something beyond the scope of the above examples. State your wish to the DM as precisely as possible. The DM has great latitude in ruling what occurs in such an instance; the greater the wish, the greater the likelihood that something goes wrong. This spell might simply fail, the effect you desire might only be partly achieved, or you might suffer some unforeseen consequence as a result of how you worded the wish. For example, wishing that a villain were dead might propel you forward in time to a period when that villain is no longer alive, effectively removing you from the game. Similarly, wishing for a legendary magic item or artifact might instantly transport you to the presence of the item's current owner. The stress of casting this spell to produce any effect other than duplicating another spell weakens you. After enduring that stress, each time you cast a spell until you finish a long rest, you take 1d10 necrotic damage per level of that spell. This damage can't be reduced or prevented in any way. In addition, your Strength drops to 3, if it isn't 3 or lower already, for 2d4 days. For each of those days that you spend resting and doing nothing more than light activity, your remaining recovery time decreases by 2 days. Finally, there is a 33 percent chance that you are unable to cast wish ever again if you suffer this stress.
