Chronicles of the Forgotten Realms
Enter the crumbling fortress where forgotten kings once ruled and dark secrets slumber in the dust of ages. The stone walls whisper tales of glory and despair to those who listen closely.
Unlock the arcane mysteries preserved in these ancient pages, but beware the price of such wisdom. Some truths were meant to stay buried, their power too great for mortal minds.
Discover spells and rituals that bend reality itself, but risk your very soul in the process. The old gods watch from beyond the veil, waiting for those foolish enough to call upon them.
Walk among the final resting places of kings and heroes, but do not disturb what slumbers within. Some sleep is not as eternal as it seems, and ancient curses linger in the stagnant air.
Hark, traveler, and heed these words inscribed in blood and shadow. You stand at the threshold of forgotten knowledge, where ancient secrets whisper from crumbling stone and dusty parchment.
Within these digital halls lie chronicles of creatures that haunt the misty vales, spells woven from starlight and sorrow, tombs of kings whose names are but echoes, and maps to realms where light fears to tread.
Turn these pages with care, for not all that is written wishes to be read. Some truths are better left buried, some doors better left unopened. Yet if your heart is stout and your will unyielding, step forward and behold the mysteries that await...
Winged serpents that dwell in mountain caves, their scales absorbing all light. They hunt under cover of darkness, their venom causing eternal slumber from which few awaken.
Spectral entities bound to misty wetlands. They feed on despair and lead travelers astray with phantom lights and whispered lies that echo the listener's deepest fears.
Ancient sentient trees that guard the deepest woods. They remember when the world was young and speak in rustling leaves that only druids understand. Their bark is like iron, their roots like stone.
Arachnids the size of hounds that spin webs of silver in forgotten tombs. Their silk is said to capture souls and their bite induces vivid nightmares that feel more real than waking life.
Colonies of bats with crimson eyes and needle-sharp fangs. They emerge at dusk in clouds so thick they blot out the moon. Their shrieks can shatter glass and drive men mad.
Weaves darkness into a tangible cloak that obscures the caster from sight and muffles all sound of their passage. Lasts until sunrise or until dispelled by true light. The shadows themselves seem to embrace the caster.
Compels skeletal remains to speak truths known in life. The answers come as rattling whispers that only the caster can decipher. Be warned - the dead do not always speak willingly or truthfully.
A protective ward drawn with the caster's own blood. Harm to the caster is reflected threefold upon the attacker for one lunar cycle. The sigil glows with a faint crimson light when danger approaches.
Creates a shimmering pathway of solidified moonlight across any chasm or body of water. Dissolves at dawn or when the moon sets. Those who cross report hearing celestial music and feeling weightless.
Plays upon the regrets of a target, causing past failures and losses to haunt their waking moments. Weakens resolve and clouds judgment. The spell draws power from the target's own melancholy.
Animates a stone statue to guard a location or person. The guardian remains motionless until its charge is threatened, then moves with surprising speed and strength. It cannot be harmed by ordinary weapons.
A circle of ancient oaks where the wind carries voices from other realms. Travelers report hearing their own thoughts spoken back to them by unseen entities. Some claim the trees themselves speak of times long past and futures yet to come.
Once a place of worship, now home to things that crawl and scuttle in the darkness. The stained glass windows now depict scenes of torment rather than salvation. At night, phantom chanting can be heard from within the crumbling walls.
A burial mound that glows with an eerie crimson light when the moon is full. Local legends claim it's the resting place of a vampire lord who still walks on moonless nights. The earth around the cairn is perpetually stained dark red.
A treacherous bog where the water is black as ink and the mist never lifts. Will-o'-the-wisps lead the unwary to their doom in sucking quicksand. Those who escape speak of hands reaching from the murky depths and voices calling their names.
A grove where the trees weep blood-red sap. The ground is littered with the bones of those who came to harvest the sap, believing it held magical properties. The willows are said to remember every life they've taken, and their branches seem to reach for the living.
