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

Description

This slender taper is dedicated to a deity and shares that deity's alignment. The candle's alignment can be detected with the detect evil and good spell. The GM chooses the god and associated alignment or determines the alignment randomly. | d20 | Alignment | |---|---| | 1-2 | Chaotic evil | | 3-4 | Chaotic neutral | | 5-7 | Chaotic good | | 8-9 | Neutral evil | | 10-11 | Neutral | | 12-13 | Neutral good | | 14-15 | Lawful evil | | 16-17 | Lawful neutral | | 18-20 | Lawful good | The candle's magic is activated when the candle is lit, which requires an action. After burning for 4 hours, the candle is destroyed. You can snuff it out early for use at a later time. Deduct the time it burned in increments of 1 minute from the candle's total burn time. While lit, the candle sheds dim light in a 30-foot radius. Any creature within that light whose alignment matches that of the candle makes attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks with advantage. In addition, a cleric or druid in the light whose alignment matches the candle's can cast 1stlevel spells he or she has prepared without expending spell slots, though the spell's effect is as if cast with a 1st-level slot. Alternatively, when you light the candle for the first time, you can cast the gate spell with it. Doing so destroys the candle.
