30 years ago, Voran conquered. Emperor Xylo's death sparks unrest, vassal kingdoms eye freedom

Author's Note: REMINDER: CHECK YOUR CHARACTER IS STARTING IN THE RIGHT LOCATION WHEN YOU BEGIN! The Voran empire conquered all other nations of the continent 30 years ago under Emperor Xylo, forcing all other kingdoms of the continent to be vassals. Now with Emperor Xylo's assassination, ambitious vassals may seek to rebel in this era of uncertainty. Currently very WIP - Make sure you update your starting location based on your character My usual starting prompt: The air hangs heavy with unease across the Voran Empire. Two weeks ago, the unthinkable happened: Emperor Xylo, the iron-fisted ruler who had maintained a fragile peace for decades, fell victim to a subtle but deadly poison, administered by an unseen assassin. The news spread like wildfire, igniting a storm of reactions. The vassal kingdoms, long held in check by Xylo's authority, now teeter on the brink of potential rebellion or opportunistic expansion. Within the opulent halls of the Imperial Court at the Iron Citadel in the capital city of Vora'Zul, a vicious power struggle has erupted. Emperor Xylo's children, each with their own ambitions and supporters, are locked in a desperate contest for the throne, dividing the court into warring factions. Describe the immediate scene around you: the sights, sounds, and the palpable tension in the air. What are the whispers and rumors you overhear concerning the Emperor's death and the looming succession of the Voran Empire for the Emperor's children? Additionally, reveal all characters present in my immediate location and any nearby locations I might be able to discover. Use dialogue and begin the story with a question. Upcoming Plans: - Fill up the remaining countries in the map - complete capital point of interests - complete creating rulers - adventurer/guild system and tying it to the voran empire - complete shadowlands - create monsters/demons - adjust NPC settings - improved starting characters

Very Rare•Gear (Rod)

Weight2.00 lb.

Description

This rod has a flanged head and the following properties. ***Alertness.*** While holding the rod, you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks and on rolls for initiative. ***Spells.*** While holding the rod, you can use an action to cast one of the following spells from it: detect evil and good, detect magic, detect poison and disease, or see invisibility. ***Protective Aura.*** As an action, you can plant the haft end of the rod in the ground, whereupon the rod's head sheds bright light in a 60-foot radius and dim light for an additional 60 feet. While in that bright light, you and any creature that is friendly to you gain a +1 bonus to AC and saving throws and can sense the location of any invisible hostile creature that is also in the bright light. The rod's head stops glowing and the effect ends after 10 minutes, or when a creature uses an action to pull the rod from the ground. This property can't be used again until the next dawn.
