 Introduction Players may see that the spine of the book reads “The

T he Fall of Mith continues with Aeteum! If you are joining
this adventure for the first time, do note that there is
more on Mith and Alìm to be found in our first two stories,
titled “The Fall of Mith: Mithos Manor” and “The Fall of
Mith: The Siege” which are both currently available on www.
DriveThruRPG.com
Set immediately after the events that of The Siege brings
adventurers into the next part of the Mithians plan. To march
and retake their capital of Aeteum.
Aeteum is only a few days march from the Mithian camp/
Manor. There is not designed to be any combat on the
march, but it does get the party two nice nights of long rest
so they can be completely ready for the assault on the city.
The ideal party size is four characters, though it can be
altered along the way to accommodate a larger or smaller
group by adding or subtracting the number of enemies that
confront the adventurers. Regarding character leveling for
this adventure, it is recommended that the group be 6th
level. This is meant for a milestone leveling format. If you are
using exp, and giving the party the assistance of the NPCs as
is intended an easyish solution is to subtract the NPCs CR
from the encounters for adjusted exp.
Chronicles of Alìm.”
The two books in his bag are “the Chronicles of Eon”
and “the Chronicles of Chi’rus.” If the players ask to or try
to look at the books, he will warn them off saying “these
are not books for adventurers to read. They are stories for
storytellers to tell, and for you to experience.”
At this point, transition the party’s point of view slowly
from the dark tavern to the Mithian Camp (the Mithos Manor
specifically if it survived the first two adventures).
Alternate Start Options
Generic City Assault Framework
If you’re starting the campaign with your own intent but are
looking to keep the same framework of retaking a city that’s
been overrun, keep it mostly the same. View the ‘Mithian
Force Numbers’ section table for a suggested starting
amount. Aim for between 400 (a rather challenging number)

Story Hook
I personally love the storyteller hook, as it allows you to use
the adventure without changing it at all to fit the current world
you’re running. However, its style is not for everyone, so if you
wish to craft another way to bring your party to Mith, feel free.
While Aeteum does best in its natural habitat—
immediately following The Siege—it can be introduced using
the storyteller, as utilized previously in the prior adventures.
Additionally, this adventure can be run as a generic city
assault or even taken apart piecemeal. Examples of these
options are outlined in the ‘Alternate Start’ section.

The Story Teller

There is a traveling dwarf named Balthemos who is looking
for brave adventurers to listen to his stories. He offers
a promise of a great reward for any who listen, as great
adventure awaits in any story properly told. Those that
encountered Balthemos in the past may recognize this and
seek him out to understand more of their adventure in Mith.

As you enter the tavern, a sense of déjà vu washes over you.

In the corner of the room, a familiar dwarf is sitting in a
comfortable-looking armchair by the fire, puffing absently
on a pipe as he runs his finger over a book in his lap. Sitting
against his chair is a traveler’s bag with two other books in it.
He looks up and smiles as you approach. “Hello again. Would
you care to hear another story?”

Balthemos feigns a certain amount of surprise to see the

party again, though a shrewd character will likely see that it
must have been his intention to meet them. A most amiable
fellow, he will happily engage in conversation with the party.
When asked about his business in the area, Balthemos will
answer vaguely, “Oh, I am merely waiting for a little while,
resting my feet as it were.”
If the party is interested in finding out more about Mith,
or about the nature of the magic that sent them there,
Balthemos will smile. “Oh, do you wish to hear more about
5 Mith?” he will ask, raising the closed book from his lap.
to about 500 (plenty of points to spare for some failures and
requisition.) Both will allow for some failure throughout the
module, but 400 will be quite near the wire where 500 gives
a substantial amount of breathing room to the party.
Piecemeal Framework
If you are wanting to cut up the different parts into pieces
for scattered throughout your adventure or simply want to
run it without major part interaction with the main forces
requisition and power balance I will list encounters you
should remove (unless you want it to be very, very hard on
your players) as the module is balanced with that assistance
in mind.
When you get to a room with the encounter removed,
simply read the first paragraph. You’ll note that the
description is broken up into two pieces, the first paragraph
is just the room itself, with the second being the creatures in
the room.
If you are running the tower and embassy as two
separate encounters between different long rests, don’t
change any (though you may want to add a bit to the tower
as it will be fairly easy.) If you are running the tower and
embassy together, remove the encounters from the following
areas:
Tower: 1 - Tower Door
Embassy: 7 - Open Mingling Area
Crypt of Heroes: 7 - Path of War
For the City Center, you can either split it into two
pieces, separated by a long rest, or remove the following:
3 - City Center Mingling Area, 7 - Demonstration Area,
11 - Shadeling Storage, 14 - Meeting Room,
20 - Art Gallery
Background
The Republic of Mith has just completed its recent election,
in which Jasper Mithos was chosen unanimously as the
Chamber Head, a role he has served in for the past three
decades. Celebrations had been in order, not only for another
the election, but also to commemorate the thousand-year
anniversary of the signing of the Palori Armistice, which
brought an end to the Demon War. But peace has been
elusive for the Mithians who serve as the protectors of Alìm,
as they are frequently called to from across the realm for
assistance when evil breaks through The Veil.
In the evening following the celebrations, disaster
struck Mithos Manor as an incursion of otherworldly shade
creatures attacked. The adventurers were tasked with
retrieving an artifact of great power from within the manor
and surviving the onslaught. After the events of the Mithos
Manor adventure, the party is tasked with contacting the
other major faction headquarters within the immediate
region, those being the mage-smiths and the mystics. The
other duty assigned is to eliminate the potential threat of the
Gren, a race of beasts that susceptible to shade influence.
After investigating these locations and requesting aid
from any potential parties, the adventurers found themselves
drawn to the Ordan Grove where an inferus attack was
taking place. After giving aid and returning to the Mithian
Camp, they discovered the camp had been attacked in the
absence. The success of their outings directly correlated to
the outcome of the battle against the invaders.
Now the party is tasked with assisting the Mithians with
their counterattack as they push into the city of Aeteum to
reclaim it.
Overview
When “the leader” is referred to, it is referring to (in order,
go to the first living one. This list includes those that will
be met in the module, if they show up leadership will be
transferred to them if a name below them is currently the
leader): Jasper Mithos, Karina Drake, Armus Drake, Lionel
Morgrove, Ignos Fel, Geath Chainbreaker, Windle Glass,
Aetum Tower, Ordum, a Mithian noble.
The Mithians have gathered as many fighting forces
as they could over the past week. They have gained two
hundred additional combat forces in addition to any of the
assistance the party has given. If Midway was contacted an
additional one hundred arrived from the outpost, with more
dispatched to other areas of Mith to continue the fight. The
Mithians are getting ready to assault the capital and retake
it. Hoping to not only push back the invading forces, but also
give any other survivors a major place to rally.
Mithians will presume the assistance of the party in the
upcoming attack. They will (without protest) promise the
party rewards in coinage and valuables if they are requested.
When pressed on a number the party will be promised 4000
electrum pieces a day after the capital is retaken (so that
the gold can be gathered if the vaults have been looted.)
If the party does not ask for compensation, the will be
complimented that their devotion to justice and right is “truly
Mithian,” one of their greatest possible compliments. The
Mithians will reward the party in the same amount at the
end of the adventure.
The Mithians are ready to march, and the living
important NPCs are very busy, and while they may check-
up on the party it’s unlikely they will have extended time to
spend with the party. But they will have some benefits to give
the party at the camp or during the march. See ‘Important
NPCs Benefits’ at the end of the chapter.
Mithian Force Numbers
If you are coming over from the Fall of Mith: the Siege
this will look familiar. But I’ve taken the logical step of
streamlining this into one number, instead of two. We will
focus on Mithian results, anything good for the shades and
inferus will take away from the Mithian numbers instead of
adding to their own.
A little insight for anyone who wants to know the
numbers. If (using the base adventure) the party got here,
the Mithians weren’t wiped out in the siege. So I took the
200 combatants and added to that a bonus for the start of
the new campaign with more survivors showing up, then
subtracted the base 300 for the shade/inferus to get to the
starting number of 200. Then the rest is just math.
For a slightly easier demand on the players add 100 to
the starting amount, for the true/more brutal representation
of the challenges of the module subtract 100 from the
starting amount.
Your total abstractly represents how much fighting power
the Mithians can bring to bear in the upcoming module. If
at the end of any day the Mithian numbers are 0, they are
overrun. And the Mithians encourage the party to flee while
their battered remnants of resistance fight to the last.

Readying For The Assault

The Mithians will stop an hour out from the city to get
ready for their assault, setting up a staging area where
everything can be organized. They will take upon most of
the organization themselves, asking that the party act as
a more elite strike force, taking on areas of interest rather
than fighting in the streets and battle lines like most of the
Mithian forces. They will allow the party to sit on the war
council if they so desire, but with the Mithians experience in
waging long wars and knowledge of the city, there isn’t much
for the party to contribute.
The first task the party will be given is to take out one of
the defensive “fall back” towers scattered around the cities.
They are large towers meant for civilians to fall back to and
harry any invader. While they’re not meant to stand up to an
extended siege attack the Mithians lack siege equipment so
they will need to be invaded rather than taken down from
afar. The Mithians do say that while they suspect the shades/
inferus to be wise enough to use them at least a little if the
towers are empty the party is requested to join the battle
lines where they feel they would serve best.
The party will be directed to, and encouraged to make
use of, the quartermasters to requisition anything they need.
They can requisition the following:
• Silvered weapons and ammunition
• Adamantine ammunition, adamantine rods, and watch
rods
• Mystic cloaks, shields, half-plate, and breastplate
armor
• Magic items*
• Recruit one of the Mithians to fight with them*
*Limits and special rules apply; see the ‘Mithian Requisitioning’
Mithian Requisitioning
The party can requisition many goods from the Mithians for
help in their upcoming trials, and are encouraged to do so by
the Mithians. But there are only so many to spare, and each
one does reduce the fighting power of the Mithians.

 The Assault
Mithian guards and guard captains line up in front of the
walls of Aeteum. Even the guard captains have given up
their normal offhand weapons for shields for the assault for
easier defense and holding of the line. Arrayed behind them
are numerous watch initiates and watch members with their
bows ready when they get into range. Scattered throughout
both groups are mage-smiths to help support their allies. In
the back are the mystics waiting to heal their injured.

(If there are crystal golem among the forces)

In front of the guards equally across the front lines are

(is) the hulking crystal golem(s) that stand tall, ready to
spearhead the assault.

(If there are ordan among the forces)

On the wings there are a number of ordan, standing head

above the nearby mithians with their antlers adorned with
greenery.

The party is strongly encouraged to hang back, among many

other groups that will not be taking place in the main assault.
After the Mithians push into the city the group is directed
to a nearby tower, from which spells are being thrown from
the upper floor, though from only one of the four sections.
The party is encouraged to retreat if they must, rather than
die fighting. This is the standard operating procedure for
the Mithians in a war situation, healing a wounded soldier
is (usually) more beneficial than a dead soldier in a situation
where they would have failed anyway.
The party will not have time to take a short rest during
the tower assault, or the Mithians will send in other troops
to deal with the tower. However, they are also told that if
they need to they can take a quick run outside of the tower
and get some healing from the mystics (and the ordan if
they are there.) The mystics can spare one level 1, and one
level 2 cure wounds and the ordan can spare one use of
their healing aura once. If Windle Glass is alive she is also
available to the party if they have not yet used her spell this
day.

As you arrive at the guard tower you see where there should
be a door open to the air. The hinges on the inside of where
the door should be are shattered and the door itself is
completely missing.
The four swarms of shade ravens are sitting atop the tower
waiting for anyone to approach. They wait to spring their
ambush until at least one party member is inside to hinder
the party from simply fleeing.
When the party gets into the hallway any character with
a passive Perception of 14 or better can hear the jingling of
armor from the right, 2a. B’lit Guard Hold.

peaceful intentions to anyone who enters.
The b’lit are interested to hear what the adventurers have
to say about what is happening outside the tower. If the
adventurers speak of the Mithian efforts to retake the city they
will react in surprise. Though they don’t know much about the
occupation of the city b’lit have no issue with sharing what
they know.

• While most of the city is occupied by inferus, many of

• They will tell the party that if they encounter b’lits alone
they can usually be reasoned with. However, they will not
cooperate if there are other inferus, or shades around.
• To their knowledge, there are no Mithian survivors in
the city except some few prisoners the shades insist on
keeping.

• If the group did not save Ordum/did not slay the c’thara
that consumed his power: Those that occupy the city are

• If the party is willing to let the b’lit leave without a
fight, the b’lit will sneak off without engaging any of the
Mithian forces; if a Mithian is accompanying the group,
they will be displeased but not protest if the party has
decided to let them go.
Treasure
8 silvered longswords, 8 adamantine rods, 8 heavy
crossbows, 8 shields, 8 breastplates, 80 silvered crossbow
bolts, 80 adamantine tipped crossbow bolts.
3. Tower Stairs
NPCs: 1 Ta’cul, 1 Lev’flo, 1 B’lit.
This large room has four spiral staircases leading up to the
second floor of the tower.
Blocking the doorway is a large creature with a wicked-looking
sword for an arm. Behind it are two others, one an insect-
like feminine figure which holds shards of light, and another
squatter one-eyed creature that holds shards of darkness.
If there’s no viable vector of attack for the lev’flo it will retreat
up the stairs to 4a. Yi’ko Archer Hold to warn the yi’ko of the
coming enemies. Though they will not descend to assist, they
will ready for the party to enter the upper area. Granting them
one more level 1 spell slot than they would normally have.
If the last one left alive the b’lit may try to end hostilities.
But if she doesn’t believe the party can defeat the three yi’ko
above she will try to finish them off, rather than tip her hand.
This b’lit has the same knowledge as those b’lits in 2a.
B’lit Guard Hold.
There is a fail-safe in the room to stop invaders from
getting to the upper levels for a time, but the inferus do not
know of its existence. There are levers the 4a. Archer Holds
to trigger the fail-safe.
If the fail-safe is triggered the ceiling will open up and
drop large containers of alchemist’s fire into the room.
Everyone in the room, and within 5ft of the entrance
automatically hit with the alchemist fire, and due to the sheer
amount of alchemist’s fire, they take 2d4 fire damage at the
start of their turn. It takes an action and a DC 12 Dexterity
check to extinguish the flames, instead of the normal
alchemist’s fire profile. Warn the party that though the fire
is not much more threatening than a normal alchemist’s fire
that it is growing extremely quickly and threatens to engulf
the players if they remain.
It takes only 12 seconds for the wooden staircases to
collapse under the fire damage. The fire damage of the
alchemist’s fire in the room increases by 2d4 every turn until
it reaches 20d4 a turn. The fire rages for ten minutes, and
there is no reasonable way to put it out, though some spells
may be able to accomplish such a feat.
4. Archer Hold
The area is almost separated into two rooms. One right
around the stairs with racks full of weapons and armor.
Shields and crossbows hanging on the walls and a lever right
next to the stairway. The other room was empty of any type
of furniture save for a line of sandbags, the walls lined with
arrowslits.
The lever just to the side of the stairs releases the fail-safe in
3. Tower Stairs and quickly cuts off escape for the party.
Should the party trigger the failsafe they will be stuck in
the room for about ten minutes unless they can put out the
fire below, or are immune to fire. As such they cannot face the
yi’ko in 4a. Yi’ko Archer Hold under normal circumstances.
Treasure
8 silvered longswords, 8 adamantine rods, 8 heavy
crossbows, 8 shields, 8 breastplates, 80 silvered crossbow
bolts, 80 adamantine tipped crossbow bolts, 1 bag of
animated ball bearings.
4a. Yi’ko Archer Hold
The area is almost separated into two rooms. One right
around the stairs with racks full of weapons and armor.
Shields and crossbows hanging on the walls and a lever right
next to the stairway. The other room was empty of any type
of furniture save for a line of sandbags, the walls lined with
arrowslits.
There are, however, three creatures inside of the sandbagged
areas. They seem to be large masks or colored faces without
any proper body. Only two arms sprouting forth from its
headbody.
(Read if the lev’flo escaped to warn the yi’ko)
They are sheltering half behind the sandbags, obviously
ready for the new intruders into their area. Only barely visible
hiding mostly under the sandbags imposed sightline is the
lev’flo peaking out.
12
 The yi’ko have been using the arrowslits to throw spells at
nearby Mithians. They combined only have one level one, and
one level two spell slot left, each one on two different yi’ko.
The lever just to the side of the stairs releases the fail-safe
in 3. Tower Stairs and quickly cuts off escape for the party.
Should the party leave without seriously injuring or
killing the Yi’ko they will eventually be killed by the mithians.
Unfortunately, after the parties attack on their position, the
Yi’ko will experiment with the lever, activating the fail-safe.
Treasure
8 silvered longswords, 8 adamantine rods, 8 heavy
crossbows, 8 shields, 8 breastplates, 80 silvered crossbow
bolts, 80 adamantine tipped crossbow bolts, 1 bag of

After The Tower

No matter the clear status of the tower (short of the party
simply entering and leaving or some such) the party will be
thanked for their assistance. They will be sent off to take a
rest with some of the troops that have been rotated back.
After their rest and any requisition they have left the party
will be taken to the front by a runner (often a Mithian noble
or servant, not suited for front line combat, but still armed in
case they are cornered.) Their travel is interrupted... Twice.
As you follow after the courier, nearing the front lines a
winged inferus lands right in front of him. Apparently it saw
an opportunity it wanted to exploit... Much to its mistake.
Because right as it lands, spreading its wings threateningly,
a long chain whips out from a nearby alleyway that wraps
around and pulled the inferus into it.
After a short time punctuated by the sounds of pummeling
and axes, a large number of dwarves emerge from the
alleyway. Most armed with axes, though their leader is
unarmed save for a chain wrapped around his waist.
This is Geath Chainbreaker and a group of Gilden embassy
guards. If the party is hostile towards them the courier will
quickly intervene and tell them that the Gilden are staunch
allies of the Mithian people. The Gilden will accompany
the party up to the battle lines to join in the fight. The
leader welcomes the assistance of the Gilden, and may (if
indicated by the list in Set Up) transfer leadership to Geath
Chainbreaker as he is a well known, though retired, leader of
warriors.
The leader, after conferring with Geath Chainbreaker
(or after he is appointed as leader,) will talk to the party.
Mentioning that Geath Chainbreaker has brought news that
another party of Mithians is also attacking the city, from
whom he and his Gilden got separated. As such they are
changing directions of the front and are moving to secure
the embassy square. As such the party is being assigned to
clear out the Gilden embassy. The leader reports that there
are three magic stones called Chainbreaker’s stone that they
believe will be of use in the upcoming battles. They warn that
inferus and shades infest the entire city, including almost all
of the buildings. As such the party should be expecting a fight
Since there aren’t any inferus shooting the Mithians out
of windows it’s perfectly reasonable for the party to retreat
for a short rest should they need to.

After The Embassy
After the group exits the embassy, Geath Chainbreaker will
approach them and ask if they found any of the stones. If
they have and turn them over he will be grateful. But if they
believe they will be able to make good use of them he will
allow them to keep them without protest. If they split up the
remaining stones he will call it an excellent compromise.
If the party tries to return the other treasures they
retrieved from 9 - Master Bedroom, Geath Chainbreaker will
ask them where the treasure came from. When told he will
express disgust and insist that the party keep the treasure.
If pressed on why the Gilden eschue the hoarding of wealth
because of something known among their people as “The
Greed.” The master bedroom was occupied by their youngest
member, an overseer, who is meant to watch over the older
members while away from Gilden (also the name of their
country.) The young are supposed to be less susceptible to
The Greed, though the overseer (who Geath Chainbreaker
refuses to address by name) obviously failed.
The party will find that while they were inside the
embassy the fighting raged on, predictably. There are a few
nearby buildings on fire but most are still intact, and the
fighting seems to have moved on elsewhere in the city. Most
Mithians, at least those not actively standing guard, are
taking the opportunity to rest and tend to the wounded.
The party is brought to the current leader of the
Mithian forces who is having a quick meeting with their
commanders. There are reports that the other Mithian force
is nearby, and fighting their way towards the force the party
is currently with. Before the meeting can go much further it
is interrupted by two figures plummeting to the square form
a nearby rooftop.
From a nearby roof plummet two figures. A flash of combat
between them is hard to follow as they fall but the smaller,
human figure has stabbed the larger, winged inferus in the
chest with her sword and forced both of them off the side.
It seemed the inferus is either too injured or preoccupied to
take to its wings and the two hit the ground hard.
Fortunately, it looks like the inferus’ body took more of the
impact for the Mithian, for as she stands up she staggers
slightly but manages to walk away without any obvious
serious injury.

(Read if the party did not kill the c’thara in the ordan lair)
Unfortunately, it seems that the impact wasn’t enough to
kill the inferus either. Its body pulses with green energy as
it lunges up from its previous prone position of looking
defeated. Despite its grievous injuries, it lashes out, grabbing
the woman’s arm with fire spitting forth from its hands.
As the woman screams she uses her free arm to stab the
creature again, through the eye. As it falls back, assuredly

quickly to give medical attention, but otherwise, the meeting
will proceed as without any alterations.
After the death of the local c’thara, the shades and inferus
will retreat from their engagements (unless the Mithian
strength has been reduced to 0, in which case they will
press their attack, overwhelming the Mithians.) Allowing
the Mithians to set up a camp for the night, and continue
their planning. The Mithians will plan their push further into
the city, talking about working towards the center. However,
Karina Drake will take the party aside and suggest a special

morning and suggests that the party get some rest.
It will no doubt be a little hard for the party to sleep with

Before the Crypt of Heroes

In the morning, the commanders will gather and start to
deploy their troops again. Karina Drake will pull the group to
the side. She will explain that she has a special assignment
for the group. Mithians are a practical people but are still
people. While they’ll never admit it, the fact that the Crypt
of Heroes is occupied bothers them. They would consider
it an insult to be given a side mission while their comrades
are fighting and dying on the front lines, so she’s assigning
to the party to go and clear the Crypt of Heroes. It is near
the currently secured area so the party shouldn’t have any
trouble getting there unharassed by the forces in the city. Any
mithian that the party requisitions does not have an issue in
assisting them.
There is nothing stopping the party from taking a few
short rests, but if they take too long the battle is still raging,
and the area could be reinforced by shades and inferus,
making it too dangerous for the party to stay in the crypt, or
the shades could finish their ritual in 14. Crypt of Mithos.

 Crypt of Heroes
1. Entry Area
NPCs: 4 Shadeling, 4 Shade Dog
The stairs lead down into a large room supported by four
pillars. Laid out around the room are five stone tables. Each
one with a different item displayed upon them, two with
two different styled shields, one with a bow, one a sword,
and one a mace. There are three doors in the far wall, one at
the far left and right of the wall, and one in its center. The
southernmost door having a plaque upon it.
Near the right side of the room, there are the bodies of
two dead guards. Scattered throughout the room are four
hunched shadowed creatures. As well as four dog-like
creatures that seem to be made of shadow as well. They
seemed to have been wandering around aimlessly, until they
saw the living coming into the crypt. Now they are advancing
upon said group of living, obviously intending to “fix” said
state of being.
19
Upon closer examination, though the items on the tables
are expertly crafted replicas, they are just that, replicas, and
would not stand up to extended use in battle.
The south door’s plaque reads “Crypt of foreign heroes.”
The secret doors to 2. Bathroom and 3. Cleaning Closet
can be found with a simple examination of the area, no
checks required. They open at a push if not locked from the
other side, which neither are at the moment.
The secret door to 4. Armory is disguised unlike the other
two and requires a DC 14 Intelligence (Investigation) check
to uncover. It cannot be opened without the use of a thin key
or specialized equipment not found in normal thieves tools. A
copy of the key can be found on each of the guards. The door
can be opened without such a key from inside the room.
The guards each have their normal gear as well as keys
to the secret door to 4. Armory. Their bodies look as though
they have been partially eaten. With a Wisdom (Nature) check
of 14, it can be discovered that it looks like the feeding was
interrupted.
Treasure

adamantine tipped crossbow bolts, 2 long thin keys (to the
secret door to 4. Armory).

2. Bathroom
This small room has a small shallow pool in the far wall and
a small bucket next to it full of pristine clean water, a small
plunger is next to the smaller pool. Next to it there is a large
tub of water across set into the ground.
When the lever is plunged the pool will clean itself with magic
to the best of its ability. The spell is not powerful enough to
get rid of solid objects or harm creatures, but waste or even
coins carelessly dropped in will be destroyed.
3. Cleaning Closet
This sizable cleaning closet is full of the usual cleaning
supplies, mops, brooms, soaps, nothing seems of great
interest here.

The door opens to a hidden armory. It is still half stocked
with its weapons and armor. With only two missing from
each area.

5. History Room
NPCs: 4 Shade Dog, 3 Shade Lurker
A large statue of a female archer is the first thing that stands
out in this large room, the top of the statue reaching the
fifteen-foot high ceiling. The main part of the floor is taken
up by tables while the walls are lined with bookshelves.
Scattered around the area are what seem to be dogs, but
dogs made of shadow stuffs. They instantly turn on the
intruders.
(Read is someone with 19 passive Perception enters the room.)
On the ceiling are three lurking, shadowy figures, their
shapes only vaguely humanoid. Hunched with long black
tendrils sinking towards the ground to capture their new
prey.
If the shade dogs hear the battle in 1. Entry Area they will not
join it, but they will start to make noise, attempting to lure the
party into the ambush by the shade lurkers.
The room is full of history books of great battles fought
throughout the world of Alìm. The majority are focused on
ones that include the Mithians who always fought bravely and
rarely lost a battle.
The statue has a plaque at its base that’s labeled with
names of the fallen.
6. Crypt of Foreign Heroes
Rows of fairly plane sarcophagi in their own alcoves line this
room. Each one looks to have a small plaque at its base with
writing upon it.
The plaques record the names and dates of birth and death
for each of those honored there. These are all merely tributes
to the fallen and not the actual resting places, all these
sarcophagi are empty, and the last two have blank plaques.
The plaques read as follows:
Azigan the Chainbreaker
First King of the Gilden. 2A1851-3A25. “Darkness was all he
knew, but he brought his people into Alim’s light.”
Aaron of Mithos
Fallen Emperor of Halcean. 2A1265-2A1325. “May the sins
of his demon be overcome by his grace.”
Rhinealt Cain
Knight King of Caldera. 3A2-3A101. “An ally in changing
times.”
Basil Ithric
The Lion of Andrade. Vessel to Ezekiel. 2A270-2A300. “His
sacrifice continues to this day.”
Allea Arken
Archmage of Palor. 3A3-A345. “Through conflict and discord,
she reforged broken bonds thought lost.”
The People of Tessar
2A0-2A1800. “May you find peace beyond the mortal
suffering the Silver Hand inflicted.”
8. Path of the Palronin
This mostly empty room has two doors, and two tapestries
in it. The two tapestries to the north and south. And the
doors straight ahead and to the south. The tapestries do
not seem to depict battles or wars unlike the ones from the
earlier room. The southern door has a plaque upon it.
The north tapestry depicts a small side of a group of people
on a shore. The majority of the tapestry however is devoted to
a large fleet of ships sailing away from the shores.
The south tapestry depicts the same ships landing on
another shore, and groups of people meeting together in a
savage and burnt landscape.
The south door’s plaque reads “Crypt of Palronin heroes.”

 9. Path of the Mithians
NPCs: Lev’flo, Shade
This mostly empty room has two doors, and two tapestries
in it. The two tapestries to the north and west. And the doors
straight ahead and to the south. One of the tapestries depicts
a battle, while the other seems to depict the construction of a
city. The southern door has a plaque upon it.
Two creatures are standing against the far wall. They are
staring intently at each other until being interrupted. One a
humanoid creature made of shadows, and a squat creature
with one eye in the middle of its bone-colored mask.
The shade and the lev’flo are arguing psychically. The shade
is almost exclusively focused on its argument with the lev’flo.
If party is being stealthy they can ambush the two, despite
the shade usually being immune to such things through its
Mind Sight.
The north tapestry depicts a large battle between mortals
and demonic-looking beings, though not the same that your
party have encountered thus far.
The west tapestry looks to be the building of a grand
city, with high and secure walls as well as large magnificent
structures.
The south door’s plaque reads “Crypt of Mithian Heroes.”
10. Crypt of Palronin Heroes
Rows of exquisite sarcophagi in their own alcoves line this
room. Each one looks to have a small plaque at its base with
writing upon it.
The plaques record the names and dates of birth and
death for each of those honored there. Under each of the
inscriptions, you will find a note in parentheses telling you of
the sarcophagi’s contents. The last sarcophagus lays empty,
the plaque blank. Looking at the sarcophagi with a detect
magic spell or similar effect, some glow with necromancy
magic. The ones that glow with magic are the first, second,
third, fourth, eighth, and ninth.

Rows of exquisite sarcophagi in their own alcoves line this
room. Each one looks to have a small plaque at its base with
writing upon it.
The plaques record the names and dates of birth and
death for each of those honored there. Under each of the
inscriptions, you will find a note in parentheses telling you
of the sarcophagi’s contents. The last three sarcophagi lay
empty, the plaques blank. Looking at the first two sarcophagi

 12. Hall of Heroes
NPCs: 1 Shade, 2 Shade Dog
This room is extremely large and full of statues. Four
of the six, armed with weapons and ready for battle, a
fifth who’s hands are raised looking ready to fight even
without being armed. The northernmost statue of a
woman who seems to be giving a speech.
Near the middle far door, there is a shadowed humanoid
figure and two of the shadowed dog creatures. It looks at
the newcomers to its room, and immediately the shadow
dogs started to charge.
(When the party gets to the end of the tunnel, and cleared
the gren caverns earlier)
A statue of an angelic figure is to the south. Of more
immediate concern, another shadow man to the north. To
the south, there is a slumped Mithian in fine, though now
soiled clothes. Flanked by two of the hunched shadowed
creatures, he is obviously near death. The shadow man
raises a hand and points it towards the intruder, the candles
surrounding the sarcophagus morph into small shadowy
creatures that fly towards you.

The shade will command the shadelings to drag Lionel

Each of the statues is labeled with names that the party will
find familiar if they went through the crypts. They are labeled
as follows, starting with the north statue and going clockwise:
Joan of Barren, Nora Grey, Deckard Alwood, Erik of Cross,
Azigan the Chainbreaker, Joshua of Mithos, and Basil Ithric.
13. Crypt of Elm
This crypt is has two pillars, a sarcophagus, and four small
daises. The sarcophagus is well decorated and obviously
has been well looked after over the years. Each of the daises
stand strangely empty, and the sarcophagus has a plaque
upon it.
Morgrove to the open sarcophagus to complete the ritual
that had been started. If they manage to do such the only
obvious immediate effect will be that all the lights in the
crypt will flicker and die. All the magical torches on Mith will
fail, giving the creatures of darkness a distinct advantage. If
the party looks like they will win or prevent the ritual from
being completed the shade will order the shadelings to kill
Lionel Morgrove wherever they are.
Lionel Morgrove only has 10 Hit Points.
If he survives, Lionel Morgrove will thank the party
members and offer them the only treasure he still has claim
to. He gives them his small judges hammer that is looped to
his belt securely. It’s too small to be used as a weapon. But
he will tell the party to break open its head, and inside there
is hidden the Shard of the Gem of Wisdom. The hammer is

The sarcophagus is empty, and the plaque on it reads:

Esskelion Elm

2A1270-2A1300. “His sacrifice continues to this day, and
through his conviction, we hold our oaths eternal.”

14. Crypt of Mithos

NPCs: 1 Shade Gren or 1 Shade, 2 Swarms of Shade

Changelings, 2 Shadelings, Lionel Morgrove

Ahead of the long tunnel is a raised dais with a well-

decorated sarcophagus sitting upon it. Surrounded by lit
candles, no doubt as signs of respect or reverence.

(When the party gets to the end of the tunnel, and did not
clear the gren caverns earlier)
A statue of an angelic figure is to the south. Of more
immediate concern, a massive creature with matted white
fur and black eyes growls from the north. To the south, there
is a slumped Mithian in fine, though now soiled clothes.
Flanked by two of the hunched shadowed creatures, he is
obviously near death. The massive creature raises one of its Shard of the

 thick enough to block detection effects such as detect magic.
No other Mithians know of the hiding spot. He is happy to
speak to the adventurers on the events of the overthrow of
Aeteum but suggests they do so back at whatever base camp
the Mithians have established.
If the party is interested the events play out much like
that at the Mithos Manor. Ambushed during the night the city
was overrun by both shades and inferus quickly, and most
who could fled rather than die fighting a lost battle. He, to his
knowledge, is the last survivor of those that the shades took
prisoner.
The crypt itself has two tapestries, one focusing on a
man on the bow of a ship, looking at an island in the near
distance. The other is a man emerging from the sarcophagus
in this very room, in full armor and obviously whole and
hearty. The angelic statue is unlabeled, and if asked Lionel
will say it’s merely a symbolic item, not meant to portray
a specific person or power. There is a plaque on the
sarcophagus that reads:
Mithos of Palor
First Bearer of Agmin. 2A470-2A525. 2A530-2A600.
“He who broke from neutrality for the good of Alìm, and was
raised up from death in our darkest hour.”

If the party did not manage to stop the ritual there is a lot

inferus counter-attack well-timed with the completion of the
ritual took a heavy toll on the Mithian strength.
In either event, if the party managed to secure the

15. Crypt of Thane
This crypt is has two pillars, a sarcophagus, and four small
daises. The sarcophagus is well decorated and obviously has
been well looked after over the years. Each of the daises, and
the sarcophagus have a plaque upon them.
Each of the plaques details the many difficulties of building
Aeteum. One talks about the expense and trade deals for the
materials. One of the strength of the Mith who both fought
to protect Alìm and built the magnificent capital. One details
Thane’s magnificent leadership and helping to unify the Mith
with many other nations. The last plaque is scratched up and
cannot be read.
The sarcophagus is empty, and the plaque on it reads:
Thane of Mithos
Founder of Aeteum and Protector of Alìm. 2A1260-2A1550.
“His dedication to Alìm has made our future possible.”

willing to openly admit that it bothered them, but spirits are

combined with another successful day of combat poises the
Mithians to be in high spirits. Estimates are that they will
be able to secure most of the city tomorrow, then only a few
remnants of inferus/shades will remain and only minor mop-
up operations will need to clear them out.

1. Main Hallway Pillars with torches and low water attractions finish off the
extremely lavish room.

The doors open into a large, wide hallway. It runs the entire
length of the building and is decorated with a repeating
pattern all the way down the path. There are a few scattered
benches and decorations along the way but nothing
particularly sticks out.
25
Slightly marring the view are two things. One large fire
breathing lizard demon over by a slightly protruding wall
on the far end of the room. And of closer concern a large
hulking creature with large claws and a single horn coming
out of its forehead.
4. Clean Barracks
This room has four bunk beds and six sleeping mats. It also
has a few footlockers and a spare table with two benches
nearby. The area looks completely clean and undisturbed.
All except for one of the footlockers is empty.
Treasure
2 sets of common clothes, 1 set of traveler’s clothes, 1 set of
fine clothes, 100 electrum pieces in a pouch.
5. Shade Armory
NPCs: 1 Shade
This room is full of weapons and armor. A small lit forge with
an anvil is in the far corner. A combination of armory and
forge rolled into one. The forge still flows faintly, though the
keen observer will notice that the fire seems completely self-
contained and likely fueled by magic.
The strangest part of the room by far is the creature with
its back to the door, staring into the forge. It is one of the
upright, humanoid shadow beings but it has not reacted to
the door being opened.
The shade shows no hostile intent to the party. The shade
will not betray any secrets of their side and will not help the
party in any way. However, it will be willing to talk about
vague memories of working at a forge. It will speak of how
many of its ilk seem to be trying to reconstruct some form of
what their lives used to be.
Treasure
24 breastplates, 24 silvered longswords, 24 adamantine
rods, 24 heavy crossbows, 200 adamantine tipped bolts, 200
silvered bolts
6. Large Bathroom
This large room has a small shallow pool in the far wall and
a small bucket next to it full of pristine clean water, a small
plunger is next to the smaller pool. Next to it, there is a
large tub of water as well as a privacy screen. As well as a
wardrobe full of towels.
When the lever is plunged the pool will clean itself with
magic to the best of its ability. The spell is not powerful
enough to get rid of solid objects or harm creatures, but
waste or even coins carelessly dropped in will be destroyed.
7. Demonstration Area
NPCs: Lev’flo, Li’ard, 2 Ta’cul
This large room is obviously designed for combat
demonstrations. There are six sparring squares to the right,
and four targets left. A small array of longbows hand near the
target. The only non-combat related thing in the area is six
benches in the center of the room.
Sitting on top of one of the far sparing squares is one of the
massive lizard looking creatures glowing brightly with fire.
Sitting on a nearby bench is one of the skull masked, one-
eyed creatures holding a collection of small stone looking
objects, that it quickly crushes with one hand when it sees the
doors opened. Flanking said doors are two of the abhorrent
creatures that have massive swords instead of their right arms.
In the northwest part of the room, there is a secret door
hidden in the wall. To find it the player must make a DC 14
Intelligence (Investigation) check. Without the key, the lock
can be picked with thieves’ tools and a DC 16 Dexterity
check.
A copy of the key can be found on one of the Mithian
bodies in 9. Ke’seth Dining Room.
Treasure
4 longbows, 120 arrows, 80 bolts
7a. Hidden Room
This small hidden room has only two distinctive features. A
number of small folded cots in the corner, and a large chest
further into the room.
The chest is unlocked but resists opening slightly as it has
been long abandoned in this room. The chest is stuffed full of
odds and ends, though it does have a few valuable treasures
that can be discovered, listed down in treasure.
Treasure
1 mystic ward, 1 mage-smith ward, 1 adamantine longsword,
2 electrum pieces
8. Yi’ko Mingling Area
NPCs: 1 Sel’en Swarm, 1 Yi’ko
This smaller area is much like the one before though less
decorated. Comfortable couches and chairs along with two
more utilitarian tables and sets of chairs.
Behind the far table is a creature that seems to be a massive
mask with two arms it stands on instead of legs. Scattered over
the chairs and tabletop of the near one is a small swarm of the
lesser, carapaced creatures quickly forming up into a swarm.

The yi’ko doesn’t care about the health or safety of the sel’en
swarm. It will not try to shoot it with area of effect spells, but
it won’t let the swarm get in the way if it believes it has a good
shot.
9. Ke’seth Dining Room
NPCs: 1 B’lit, 1 Ke’seth
This large room is finely decorated, and has many double doors
for easy entry and exit. There is a massive dining table set
in its center. Around the outside of the room, there are two
smaller tables with decorative statues on them, as well as four
decorative suits of armor in the corners of the room.
Set up in a macabre scene of a dinner party are the corpses of
multiple Mithians in the beginning states of decay propped up
in the chairs around the area. One of them is partially eaten and
next to it is the body of a gaunt figure with bloody claws, and
its head missing, presumably forcibly removed.
Standing in the center of the table is a large winged creature,
with fire in its belly, literally. Over in the corner is one of the
female inscectoid humanoids, even on her alien face the
look of disgust at the scene before her is obvious. The large
creature loomed over the corpses, but now turns in annoyance
to those that have interrupted its corpse dinner party.
Among the corpses are three watch initiates, two guards,
eight nobles, a watch member, a mystic, a guard captain,
and the headless corpse is that of a wendigo. Though most
of their valuable items have been lost there are still a few on
their bodies, as recorded down in treasures.
Treasure
4 studded leather, 3 breastplates, 1 mystic cloak, 2 silvered
longswords, 2 silvered rapiers, 1 longbow, 1 silvered dagger, 1
silvered mace, 24 adamantine tipped arrows, 12 silver-tipped
arrows, 12 adamantine tipped bolts, 3 silver-tipped bolts, 45
electrum pieces
10. Shade Kitchen
NPCs: 1 Shade, 1 Shade Dog, 2 Shadelings
This room is full of shelves full of food. Tables with meals
prepared and a warm fire in the hearth. Piles of foodstuffs for
future meals in sacks and boxes are around the room. Though
under the smell of good food, is rancid, old food.
The room has four occupants. One of the shadow dogs
lying right next to the door. Two of the hunched shadowed
creatures seem to have been working on food being overseen
by one of the upright shadowed beings. But now with new
intruders, they seem to have a new plan for the meal.
None of the food is eaten or nibble on, and further
investigation it seems that much of the food was made days
ago, and has sat out the entire time.
Amongst the general dishware and such there are two
wine glasses that are inscribed with magical sigils. These two
are spilless glasses.
If the party takes the time to scavenge non-perishable
foods they can gather up 12 servings of rations.
Treasure
12 rations, 2 spilless glasses, studded leather
11. Shadeling Storage
NPCs: 3 Swarms of Shade Changelings, 4 Shadelings
This room is full of supplies. Stocked full of what seems to
be mostly non-perishable foodstuffs in sacks, boxes and
barrels. Further in there are rows of casks as well as a few
spare chairs and tables near the door.
Shuffling around the room with sacks, casks, and other
things in their arms are shadelings. They don’t seem to
be doing anything useful, simply moving objects around
randomly. Objects they’ve now dropped upon seeing
intruders.
The four swarms of shade changelings will wait for the group
to engage the shadelings to try and ambush them.
The group can fairly easily ambush the shadelings as
they’re focused on their attempts to imitate organizing
the room. The changelings are not susceptible to such an
ambush.
Any Mithian accompanying the party will point out the
value of these supplies and be unwilling to use damaging area
of effect abilities except in an emergency.
Most of the supplies are valuable to the Mithians but likely
not overly much to the adventurers. Though there are enough
supplies to make 400 rations if the supplies are not damaged.
The small casks of wine do have value and can be sold
for 50 gold a casket on an open market, but there is no viable
market nearby. The casks weigh 50 lbs.
Treasure
36 wine casks (50 gp each, weight 50 lbs), 400 rations
12. Crystal Golem Storage
This large room is empty save for a single circle sitting in its center.
13. Small Storage
This room has a few spare pieces of furniture in it, and a few
shelves that are stuffed with pillows.
28
 14. Meeting Room
NPCs: 2 Lesser Shade Watch Member, Lesser Shade Guard
This large room seems to be a meeting room. A large central
table with many chairs, as well as side tables with chairs.
Bookshelves full of books and ledgers fill out the room.
The room has three Mithians in it. Two of the elder lightly
armored people and one of the guards. However, as they
turn to the newcomers you can see their blackened eyes.
The books are political treatises on the other countries on the
world of Alìm. The ledgers are notes of recent interactions
between the races, it seems that while the Mithians have friendly
relations with most they only have three active embassies in
their capital. That of the Gilden, Sorens, and Halcyon.
15. Second Floor Mingling Area
NPCs: Lev’flo, 2 Li’ard
This open area seems to be another sitting area. With
water decorations, tables, couches, and decorative pillars
completing the view.
In the two sitting areas flanking the middle table are the
large lizard-like creatures known for spitting fire long
distances. They seem to be actively scanning the area for
intruders. In the center area is one of the one-eyed being
keeping a close eye on its surroundings as well. Their
reaction to intruders come off as... Less than polite.
All three of the inferus here are actively alert and searching
for intruders, though they do not leave the area to search
without reason.
16. Treasury
An unusually drab room there are only large, impressively
secure looking chests in this room. They are made of bands
of metal, reinforced with larger overlays of steel.
Every chest is securely locked. They require thieves’ tools
and a DC 20 Dexterity check. If the check is failed by five or
more a small rune inside the lock will trigger and slag the
lock completely. Rendering it unable to be opened except with
extended ministrations from an experienced blacksmith or
mage-smith.
• The signet rings are paired, two each, one original and one
copy. They each hold a sigil of one of the council members.
• One chest contains ten satchels, each with 200 electrum
pieces.
• One chest contains ten pouches, each with five small
diamonds, each worth 20g.
• One chest contains ten platinum signet rings, two of each
paired together with the same sigil, 500g each.
• One chest contains copies of treasury notes regarding
loans, to individuals, nations, and organizations.
• One chest contains copies of diplomatic agreements with
other nations.
29
Treasure
1000 ep, 50 diamonds (20g each), 10 signet rings (500g each)
17. City Study
This room is full of bookshelves and tables. A smaller table
between a few more comfortable chairs and couches also sit
in the center of the room.
This room is full of texts. They are of a vast number of
subjects, but most are of a surface interest without any
books going deeply into details on the topics, with only a few
exceptions.
18. Cleaning Closet
This sizable cleaning closet is full of the usual cleaning
supplies, mops, brooms, soaps, nothing seems of great
interest here.
19. City Library
NPCs: 1 Shade or 1 Shade Gren
This large room has bookshelves stuffed full of books, as
well as a few couches and chairs against the far wall. In the
center of the room is an arrangement of tables with far more
utilitarian chairs at them.
(Read if the party cleared the gren caverns earlier)
Standing next to one of the tables is a large hulking figure.
Its white fur seems oddly well cared for, without any marks
of filth or matted hairs. The creature is having trouble
attempting to manipulate the pages of the book with its
massive claws. As it notices the newcomers it turns quickly,
letting out a howl of frustration as its sudden turn knocks
the book away from it... And then smashes the table in half
as it tries to catch the book with one massive claw.
(Read if the party did not clear the Gren Caverns earlier)
A shadowed humanoid stands next to one of the tables.
It’s running its fingers over the rows of text as though it’s
reading. It turns lazily towards the door as it opened. It
seems to have been expecting visitors.
There are books here on almost any subject the party could
be interested in investigating.
20. Art Gallery
NPCs:1 B’lit, 1 C’thara, 1 Lev’flo, 1 Li’ard
This massive room is stuffed to the brim with art. Large
marble blocks ten feet tall host magnificent paintings. There
are more against further walls, along with tapestries. Nearby
there are lower tables with what seems to be old pieces of
parchment upon them.
Just visible beyond the large marble block are two large
crimson wings. To the north though in plain view there is
a massive lizard creature that seems to be on watch as the
doors were not in immediate view of any other creature.
The Li’ard is keeping an active watch on the doors.
 21. City Bedrooms
In this finely appointed bedroom, there’s no end of fine furniture
and decoration. The wardrobe and bookshelf are of the finest
craftsmanship. The bed and its sheets seem to shine faintly.
The furniture is obviously crafted by a master’s hands, and
the beds are covered in silk sheets with comfortable down
blankets and pillows.
The room is for visiting dignitaries and other officials so
the wardrobes and other furniture are empty.
22. City Master Bedroom
NPCs: 1 Lesser Shade Mage-Smith, Wendigo
This large room is obviously a master bedroom. With a large
four-poster bed, multiple wardrobes, writing desk, bookshelf,
chair, side table, couch, and decorative rug. Every single piece of
furniture is well looked after and in pristine condition.
Except for the unfortunate rug that has large bloodstains on it.
Presumably from the strips of bleeding flesh scattered atop it.
Standing in front of the couch is a Mithian mage-smith, but with
his black eyes glaring at the newcomers. A wendigo looks up
from gobbling at the flesh scraps, seeming to prefer fresh food.
The furniture is obviously crafted by a master’s hands, and

the beds are covered in silk sheets with comfortable down

The room is for visiting dignitaries and other officials so
the wardrobes are empty mostly. The bookshelf has mostly
light general interest subjects and a few blank ledgers. The
desk also has inks, quills, and parchment. Enough to make
up a calligrapher’s supplies.
Treasure

This large room is full of comfortable furniture chairs,

for attractive decoration.

 Shade Creatures
Shades are the spirits of the damned who existed in Noxium for
years on end. The evil who die upon Alìm with no greater power
to claim them are claimed by Noxium, until the great Calamity
sealed the gate guarded by the Mithians and the souls of the
damned became trapped at the Door of Night. With the sealing
of the gate, the number of shades grow every day as the spirits
of the damned travel to the land of Mith.
Creatures of Shadow. Lesser shades have no form
of their own, so they take on the form of Mithians, and while
other shade creatures can immediately tell a lesser shade from
a Mithian, Mithians do not have such benefits. Mithians are
taught from a young age to look for the give away of pure black
eyes. As such Mithians are always suspicious of someone
who’s back is turned. The only ones above such suspicions are
The Brightblades. It is not known why but there have never
been any reports of lesser shades imitating Brightblades.
Undying Nature. Even the least of the shade creatures
are technically immortal, though it’s not an immortality that
anyone would wish for. When killed the shade creatures return
to the gate through which they can no longer travel, and as such
they must remain there, their spirits preying on and fighting the
other damned spirits that circle the gate, until it gains enough
power to return in a physical form. Though the powerful shade
creatures usually retain enough strength to return quickly in
their previous form if defeated repeatedly even a drei will lose its
power and return as a mere shade, or even less at times.
31
Lesser Shade
These lesser shades have no form of their own, so they take
on the form of Mithians, and while other shade creatures can
immediately tell a lesser shade from a Mithian, Mithians do
not have such benefits. Mithians are taught from a young age
to look for the give away of pure black eyes. As such Mithians
are always suspicious of someone who’s back is turned. The
only ones above such suspicions are The Brightblades. It is
not known why but there have never been any reports of lesser
shades imitating Brightblades.
Shade Trickery. To create a disguise such as a shadow
construct, a shade must have seen the individual they wish
to duplicate within that last 24 hours. To build create a lesser
shade, choose the Mithian they are imitating and build their
stats according to the Mithian’s stat block. The only alterations
to their stats are:
Lesser Shade
Undead, neutral evil
Senses includes darkvision 60 ft.
Shadow Construct. Lesser shades are neither truly creatures
of flesh or creatures of shadow. After they die lesser shade’s
bodies start to fade away, disappearing completely in an hour.
Any gear taken off them only retains viable use for ten minutes.
Shadeling
Creatures of little power and intelligence, shadelings are
not considered a threat to any Mithian trained in combat,
however their feral nature can make them dangerous to
those unarmed or unprepared. The exception to this rule is
when they attack in large groups, or when they are under
the control of a shade or a drei, at which point they can be a
serious threat.

Instinctive Obedience. While left to their own devices,

shadelings act in a feral way, simply attacking whatever they
think they can eat. However, when they are within 120 feet
of a drei or 60 feet of a shade, they will instinctively follow its
mental commands despite the fact they do not understand any
languages. While under the command of a shade or a drei they
are immune to charm and frightened, and act in a more tactical,
less bestial way (this does not effect their stats or attacks in a
mechanical way.)

Inhabit Body. If a shadeling finds a body that has been dead

for no more than a day it can spend one uninterrupted minute
inhabiting the body, turning it into a wendigo and destroying
the shadeling’s current form.

Shadow Being. When the shadeling dies its body starts to seep
away, disappearing after one minute.

Actions
Multiattack. The shadeling makes two attacks with its claws.
32
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 4 (1d4+2) slashing damage plus 2 (1d4) necrotic damage.

Wendigo
When a shadeling kills a humanoid in combat or finds a
recently killed one body, it can abandon its constructed body
for the more stable one in front of it. No intelligent shade
would do so, as the trade for the temporary power they gain
from the body binds them to a corporeal form, denying the
ability to easily abandon the body upon defeat. The other
price, however, is the gnawing hunger to fill the mortal belly
that now serves no purpose.
Blind with Hunger. The endless hunger that consumes
the wendigo makes it vicious, but also predictable. A wendigo
is easy to trick with bait, particularly if that bait is a recently
dead carcass. Humanoids are preferred, but a wendigo is
not picky, scavenging anything from livestock to wildlife or
even house pets. Nothing will ever satiate the wendigo, and
as such it will continue to eat until there is nothing left to eat.
Any trap that is set using a carcass of something that has
died within the past hour will cause the wendigo to ignore
any non-immediate threat. While a wendigo is eating it
ignores everything going greater than ten feet away from it.
Infectious Hunger
As an option for increasing the difficulty of facing and surviving a
wendigo encounter, activate the Call To Hunger ability whenever
the wendigo successfully lands a bite attack. Additionally, those
affected by Call To Hunger can be adapted as a permanent curse.
As such, the infected has a 1 in 4 chance of experiencing a relapse
33 every day, at times determined by the DM. Successful attacks will
increase future relapse chances by 25 percent.

The Hunt. Wendigos are tireless hunters in their quest to fill
their empty bellies. Wendigos can use their bonus action to
Dash towards an enemy.
Endless Hunt. If the wendigo hits with a claw attack it may use
it’s bonus action to attack with bite.
Endless Hunger. When the wendigo dies it uses Call To Hunger
on the creature who killed it. This ability has no range limit,
but cannot travel between planes, and the wendigo does not
need to know who killed it or be able to see them. However
the act must be a direct action, traps or other similar methods
will not trigger endless hunger. Call To Hunger cannot be used
otherwise.
Consume Flesh. Though nothing can sate the eternal hunger of
the wendigo they are always trying. Outside of combat, they will
focus on consuming dead creatures. While they eat they gain
3d6 hit points per turn and can consume a medium creature in
one minute.
Actions
Multiattack. The wendigo makes two attacks with its claws.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 7 (1d6+4) slashing damage.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 6 (1d4+4) piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) healing damage.
When a bite hits, the wendigo gains 1d6 hit points.
Call To Hunger. The target must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom
saving throw against this curse or be inflicted with the hunger
of the wendigo. They drop everything they’re carrying and
attacks the nearest target with their bare hands if it hits it may
make a bite attack with its bonus action that counts as an
unarmed strike but as piercing damage, these attacks gain a +2
to their attack and damage rolls. If it cannot reach anything it
will Dash towards the nearest target. This effect ends at the end
of the targets next turn. Creatures who are immune to curses
automatically pass this saving throw.
Shade Ravens
Even the weakest of shades have the inherent power of
possession. For those entities that do not yet have the
strength to manifest their essence into a corporeal force,
they must make due with dominating the bodies of lesser or
weakened creatures. Wildlife is targeted by shades, beasts
that are weak from hunger or the cold, or creatures that feed
by scavenging. Birds, particularly ravens due to their carrion
nature, are susceptible to this possession as shades are
drawn to death and decay.

Death Hunters. The swarm of shade ravens has advantage on

attack rolls against any creature that has taken necrotic damage
since the beginning of its last turn.

Shadow Flight. The shade raven’s bodies ooze shadow stuff
making them blend seamlessly with the darkness and sucking
up any light around it. This renders them completely invisible
to dark vision while in darkness and grants them advantage
on stealth checks in dim light or darkness. Other shades are
immune to this effect.
Swarm. The swarm can occupy another creature’s space and
vice versa, and the swarm can move through any opening large
enough for a Tiny raven. The swarm can’t regain hit points or
gain temporary hit points.
Actions
Pecks (swarm has more than half HP). Melee Weapon Attack:
+5 to hit, reach 0 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (2d4) piercing damage
plus 5 (2d4) necrotic damage.
Vulnerable Corruption. Due to the limited strength
of shades that target lesser animals, their hold over a
swarm can at times be disrupted. It is common practice
for The Watch to carry pouches of salt that has been
purified by the Mithian mystics. When properly deployed
against a swarm of shade ravens, the purity will weaken
the shade. This practice can be done with any properly
purified or blessed substance. On a contested Dexterity
check, a failure on the part of the shade ravens results in
the shade being trapped in the body of a single raven until
the end of its next turn. While it is in this state, its hitpoints
are reduced to one and attacks against it are made with
disadvantage.

Pecks (swarm has less than half HP). Melee Weapon Attack: +5

Loyal In The End. When the shade dog dies it heals another
shade for half its max Hit Points (6.) This ability cannot be used
on other shade dogs.

Shadow Form. When a shade dog dies it puffs into shadows and
dissipates nearly instantly.

Actions
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 6 (1d6+3) necrotic damage.

Shade Dog
Shade dogs are not truly dogs, as all shades were once
sentient minds, that could choose between good, and evil.
It is unknown if they take this form as a stop-gap in power
between other forms, or because they are enslaved by the
other shades to take on this lesser form. And even give up
some of themselves upon their “deaths.”
Bound by Shadow. Part of these shades are tied to the
creatures they serve, forcing them to give their essence up to
feed their masters, sacrificing their own ability to return.

Swarm. The swarm can occupy another creature’s space and

vice versa, and the swarm can move through any opening large
enough for a tiny creature. The swarm can’t regain hit points or
gain temporary hit points.

Innocuous Appearance. Swarms of shade changelings take

on forms of different innocuous items. While they remain
motionless they are indistinguishable from other items. The
individual shade changelings can shapeshift into other objects
as a bonus action, or the swarm may band together to make one
larger object no greater than 5 ft. in any dimension. When the
changelings move though they cannot move together as the
single object and break back down into a swarm.

Shifting Form. The swarm of shade changelings make minor

shifts to their form to better combat whatever they face. At the
beginning of their turn, they may choose immunity to acid, cold,
fire, or lightning damage until the beginning of their next turn.
They begin combat with one of these immunities already unless
they are surprised.

Actions
Claws (swarm has more than half HP). Melee Weapon Attack:
+4 to hit, reach 0 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (4d4) variable damage.
The changelings may choose any of the following types to
deal its damage with: acid, bludgeoning, cold, fire, lightning,

Shade Changelings
The shade changelings are the more clever of the weakest
form of shades. They are barely strong enough to take form,
but such weakness does have one advantage. Their shadow
forms are almost non-existent, so they have gathered up
physical matter to make up most of their pieces. Allowing
them to use that physical matter to disguise themselves as
almost any small item they have ever seen. And as a swarm,
they are something of a threat. Though alone they are almost
nothing, so they are almost never alone.

36
 Gren
Barbaric and dangerous creatures, the gren are little more
than animals. Though they do have a rudimentary culture, it
hearkens back to before even what is generally regarded as
the first mortal civilization on Alìm. They are led by what the
Mithians have deemed a “shaman”, though it is just another way
of saying “the biggest and strongest.”
Home in the Frost. The gren live in the snowy wastes
and mountain ranges. Since they are kept safe from the cold by
their thick coats they have come to associate fire with outsiders,
and therefore regard anyone with it as a special threat. They
will take extreme risks to rid anyone armed with fire. This
only shows how dumb the gren are, as they possess no actual
weakness to fire or being lit on fire. At least, nothing more than
anyone else would be if lit on fire.

two of either of its claw or decaying claw attacks. It may replace
one of those attacks with crippling claw.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

not be able to take any action besides movement until the end
of its next turn. If a target passes this check it is immune to the
same effect until the beginning of the Shade’s next turn. If the
creature is immune to psychic damage it automatically passes
the saving throw.

Call To The Past (Recharge 5-6). The shade gren targets one
creature that is can sense within 30 feet of it. It must make
a DC 14 Intelligence saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) psychic
damage and being frightened until the end of the shade gren’s
next turn, or taking half as much and not being frightened. If it
fails by more than 5 it must flee and can do nothing else while
in view of the shade gren. While in sight of the shade it must
take the dash action to get further away, if it cannot it may take
the dodge action. If the creature is immune to psychic damage
it automatically passes the saving throw.

Shade Lurker
The shade lurkers are a cut above the normal shadelings,
and some are powerful enough to become lesser shades. But
the lurkers are also fundamentally more cowardly than their
other brethren. Lurking in the dark places they seek to feed

 Inferus
The inferus are fiendish entities that reside beyond the Veil,
the divine barrier that separates all of Alìm from the Conflict.
Unlike the majority of fiends, their planar tie is to Alìm, allowing
them to pass through the Veil. While they are connected to Alìm
in this way, the majority of their lives are spent in the realm of
Infernum, a hellscape adjacent to Alìm just outside the Veil.
Though they are fiendish in nature, the allegiance of inferus can
vary significantly—particularly weaker ones are fickle given their
chaotic tendencies, while stronger inferus will often adhere to a
set of rules or code.
They are Legion. The unpredictable motivations of
the inferus stem from the makeup of their being, or more
accurately, beings. A single inferus possesses only one body,
but within that vessel they have dozens, even hundreds of
consciousnesses. The essence of each are intertwined with
the others, weaving a tapestry of different ideals, passions, and
thoughts. This cacophony of individualities often manifests
as utter madness unless they are dominated by a singular
drive or purpose; two prime drives that commonly unite the
personalities within an inferus are fear and hunger.
Consume. Infernum is a realm of fire and blood, floating
in a void of darkness within the Conflict between Good and Evil.
After killing his father, Ruinous, the Demon Lord Violus used
the body to create this hellscape. What little that grows and lives
in Infernum is twisted beyond belief, but it is filled with demonic
essence. Inferus are able to feed on this corrupted energy, but it
pales in comparison to the rush they experience when tapping
into the power of Alìm. This drive brings the inferus back Lev’flo

Li’ard
The li’ard creatures are one of the more bestial inferus seen.
Though only on a surface level, few beasts belch lava and
fire from their gullets. Often deployed as ranged and siege
weapons among the inferus, especially as any errant blasts
would do little to other inferus. It is completely unknown
what poor damned souls might make up this creature.

B’lit
The b’lit are known for being the opposite of the lev’flo. They
use the last remnants of their holy powers from life to wield
shards of light. However they are known for their scheming
and their masters never trust them further than they must.
Their goals come from a twisted desire to purify the realm of
Infernum. However in their new, twisted state they can only
imagine working their way up in power and killing Serapus.
As such they will play their roles in his plans until they can
get close enough, and powerful enough to strike.

Eter’pil
Lumbering brutes the eter’pil at first seems more
intimidating than dangerous. Due to their slow and absent-

souls of both humans and animals, explaining their odd
nature. However, once they have become significantly injured
they fly into a rage and attempt to rip apart anything in front
of them. There have been times when c’thara have had to put
their own eter’pil down due to their mindless rage.

Ta’cul
Especially wicked even among the inferus, ta’cul are believed
to have been made from the basest of criminals. The ta’cul
take absolute delight in skewering lesser creatures on their
barbed upper arms and letting them suffer and bleed out.

C’thara are the field commanders of Serapis’ inferus legions.
They command through fear and threat, causing even the
chaotic lesser inferus to obey their commands. They are
rare among the inferus as they are sane and made up of
many. It is said they are made of the souls of those who were
commanders in life, used to order and regiment. Whatever
the c’thara are, they are dangerous enemies, though ironically
less so to their fellow inferus. Their authority from Serapis is 48
unchallenged and as such, they are obeyed.
 The Mithians
Some say Mithians are the absolute pinnacle of mortal
races. Long lives, supreme mental and physical abilities,
as well as their unconquerable spirit, lends itself to the fact
that those that say it are absolutely correct. It is unknown
the true reason that Mithians are so powerful, supreme
genetic luck, the design of a deity, or the active interference
of a higher being are all possibilities thrown about. Though
they cannot at a glance be told apart from a human, some
say that Mithians will always be a breed apart, and can
even on their death bed be spotted as one.
Agents Of Balance. Mithians are lawful creatures
through and through. While some outliers do exist, their
society and their nature imprint upon them the notion
that order is the pinnacle of all good in the world. Their
numbers are heavily weighted towards law and goodness.
Though even though who have abandoned the ways of their
society and seek self-gain usually follow their own code of
conduct.
Downright Arrogant. While most Mithians are too
polite to let on, almost without exception they believe
themselves to be superior to all other mortal beings. And
though any fair-minded person would admit that they are,
most other races would be humble enough to admit that
they have their faults. Not so with the Mithians; they only
admit defeat in such a way that it was an impossible battle
to win in the first place, and that any other people would
have fared far worse than the Mithians in their place.
Society. Mithian society is rigid and unchanging.
While good things can be said about it, the emphasis on
justice, and fairness, so too can poor things, such as lack
of social and economic mobility. By comparison, dwarven
culture is a veritable garden of new ideas and departure
from tradition. One does not reach beyond their station in
Mithian society; this is not decided by hereditary as much
as ability, though heritage does play a part. Those who
show great aptitude for numbers will be going into such
a profession to better serve Mith, no matter if they would
prefer to be a farmer or a Watch member.
The Fall. During the terrible events of The Calamity
the Mithian race was decimated. As all numbers of fiends
and cruel spirits poured forth from the Great Fissure at
Acerbus and threatened to trample over and consume
not only the Isle of Mith but the entire world the Mithians
stood strong in the face of such a wave of death. Not
even their prowess in battle, their powerful magics, and
great heroes could do more than slow the advance of the
darkness. But it was enough, as the last of the Mithian
warriors and mystics fell in the defense of their ancestral
home a few boats full of Mithian children away from the
doomed island. Saved not by Mithians, but by strangers
visiting the island.
Respite. Though the land of Mith was destroyed, the
Mithian line lived on. In a small corner of the Halcean
Empire a new village appeared, run by only a few adults,
no one took note of the small village full of children. Years
later so too did no one note the hoard of metal they bought
up with valuable and old drakes, nor did it go noted save
by the odd traveling merchant that the village had been
deserted, willingly, only a few shells of buildings left,
everything that was of value, taken.
49
Contention. A short trip by boat and the landing was
made, an act that the drei who now ruled Mith had not
expected: a counter-attack. Marius Mithos, son of the great
Jasper Mithos who led the Mithians against the tide of
darkness, had returned, wielding powers not seen on Mith
since his father. That day Marius drove back the forces
of darkness, and refounded the great Mithian port city of
Tolerum and renamed it Contention. The Mithians would
reclaim their island, the reclamation had begun.
The Watch. The Watch was refounded after the
reclamation of Mith began. They are the brave souls who
go outside of the protected lands and seek to drive back the
denizens of the island to reclaim it for the Mithians once
more. Excelling in every aspect of their training is required
to become a Watch Marshal, who has their own ward for
which they are responsible and which they have reclaimed
for Mith. It is their duty to take on other Watch members as
their deputies and keep the area clear of shades and the like.
The Brightblades. Legends tell of Jasper Mithos and
his supernatural abilities granted to him by Alìm itself.
Though none others manifested those abilities as well until
Marius Mithos returned to the isle of Mith in the daring
plan to retake it. Since then Marius Mithos has headed
up The Brightblades, they can be drawn from any walk
of Mithian society, usually from the Guard or the Watch,
but even a Mystic, or a farmer who shows Alìm’s powers
manifested will be inducted into The Brightblades. They
are said to be the only people who can go toe to toe with a
drei and live to tell the tale.
Mithian Constructs
Constructs were originally imagined as a counter to the
growing power of war weapons being created by the forces
of Bebelum. The artificers of Din’Galu built machines that
transformed the battlefield, and so Mith had to adapt. Seen
as extensions of their forces, Mith’s constructs were never
intended to have consciousness or emotion. That ethical
slope would be ventured upon after centuries of continued
conflict, though it was not a line first crossed by Mith.
Transference. Once the magic had been
experimented with, the early mage-smiths of Mith began
to realize that they could imbue an imprint of their
intentions onto inanimate objects. In the early years, the
mage-smiths would actually have to travel to the front-
lines of battle in order to perform the magics necessary.
Limitations on distance and duration remained a concern
for many decades, resulting in the deaths of many. But
upon perfecting the techniques required, the armies of
Mith were able to augment their forces to overcome the
artificers of Din’Galu. From that point on, the mage-smiths
of Mith made it their solemn vow to create a world in
which lives were not lost of the fields of battle, but rather
saved there.

Mithian Animated Armor

The animated armors that were designed by the early
mage-smiths were rudimentary and would shamble across
the battlefield. Considerable advancements have been
made over the centuries, to where an animated armor is
externally identical to a flesh and blood Mithian in full plate
A Frozen Mind. With every suit of armor there is
a weak point, and the animated armor of the Mithian
mage-smiths is no exception. By their very nature they

results of a situation.

 Unfinished Crystal Golem
The legendary mage-smiths of Mith designed and created
the crystal golems to be fearsome warrior constructs on
the battlefield. After centuries of philosophical debate over
the ethics of creating new life through magical means, the
Chamber of Mith approved the crystal
golem project under the veil of secrecy.
Neither their allies nor enemies were to
know about the creation of these new
crystal constructs.
Inspired by Treachery. The idea of
creating a new life form was not a notion
that was unique to the Mithians. It was
a response to the experimentation
and ultimate genesis of the Tessari
people by Lumiol, Living Saint of the
Triune. Her mystical modification
of mortals in an attempt to create
the “perfect race” sparked the
Firebrand Rebellion and planted the
seeds for crystal golem project in the
minds of Mithians, though they found
her methods abhorrent. One other
group whose actions helped inform the
creation of the golems were the mages
of Palor, distant cousins of the Mithian
people. Rumors had spread across Alìm
that the Palori were infusing consciousness
into elemental forces, creating creatures
of pure fire, water, earth, and air. While
never confirmed to exist, the notion of
such a thing was enough to push the
Mithians over the edge and begin
their experimentations with magic
and consciousness.
A Weapons in Pieces.
Decades of experimentation with
harnessing and embedding raw
magical essence into a crystalline
form passed, eventually leading to
the creation of the current crystal
golem prototypes. Given the time
of peace that Mithians currently live it,
there existed no pressing need to fully weaponize
the crystal golem project, leaving the mage-smiths
to tinker with their new creations. With the surprise
attack of Inferus forces on Mith while simultaneous
attacks occurred at Emmu’een and The Clutch,
the crystal golems were left incomplete. A tragic
oversight, as their assistance in the battle at the Door
of Night may have turned the tides. Instead, the various
golems are spread across Mith in various stages of
completion, all asleep waiting to be woken by their
creators.

51
 Imperfect Image. Designed and constructed by the
mage-smiths of Mith, crystal golems were made with a dual
purpose. On a purely practical level, their form was a perfect
weapon, one with the strength to take on the mightiest of
demons and the resistance to absorb the most powerful
magics. Their second, and more surprising purpose, was
to fulfill a latent need of the Mithians to produce offspring.
As a cultural side-effect of their immortality, traditional
reproduction became something unseemly in parts of
society. For Mithian mage-smiths, the development of the
crystal golems was in some ways a quest to produce the
children their society would accept. Sadly, golems that
remain unfinished accomplish neither of these goals the
mage-smiths had in mind. Neither physically or mentally
complete, the unfinished crystal golem possesses just
enough self-awareness to feel that it is missing something.
Creature of Light. Born of the mage-smiths and their
desire to bring beings of light into the world of Alìm, they
focused their energies not on any specific element, but the
pure power of light. As such, crystal golems are beings
powered by radiant energy, the culmination of hundreds
of hours of pure magic and essence stored in crystalline
form, assembled to give life to a construct of noble design
and intention. Even while in its unfinished form, the crystal
golem can absorb radiant energy to heal and power itself.

Radiant Absorption. Whenever the golem is subjected to radiant
damage, it takes no damage and instead regains a number of hit
points equal to the radiant damage dealt.
Immutable Form. The golem is immune to any spell or effect that
would alter its form.
Magic Resistance. The golem has advantage on saving throws
against spells and other magical effects.
An Unfinished Mind
As an option, an awakened unfinished golem can be given the
ability to speak a single word. Reflective of its incomplete mental
state, the word it repeats can range from mysterious to saddening
as it attempts to understand its situation, a symptom of the
nascent personality embedded in the construct.
If the golem is not given commands by the individual that
awoke it after it comes to consciousness, it will proceed to
search about the area for various crystals and arcane tools in an
attempt to finish its construction. Given the construct’s lack of
intelligence, it is unable to progress beyond its current state.
However, it can provide clues to anyone attempting to complete
the golem’s ultimate creation.
Magic in its Bones. Given the overall magical
construction of the golem, any blow or attack the golem
makes is packed full of magic, overcoming many different
kinds of magical defenses. This magical nature benefits
the golem in both offense and defense, as the construct
can absorb spells directed at it, storing them inside its
crystalline matrix until it deems it necessary to release
it. By controlling the flow of the magic from its body, the
golem is able to redirect the magic, albeit at a weaker level,
as it absorbs much of the magic into its entity.
Magic Weapons. The golem’s weapon attacks are magical.
Spell Absorption. The golem can absorb a spell cast upon it if it
is immune to the all the spell’s effects or if it succeeds on the
saving throw (if applicable).
The golem may cast this spell as a bonus action if it is normally
an action, with no required components, but rolling only half the
damage die.
The golem automatically passes any concentration checks but
cannot absorb another spell while concentrating on a spell.
The golem cannot store more than one spell at a time; any new
spell it chooses to store overwrites the previously stored spell.
Actions
Multiattack. The golem makes one attack with its right fist and
one attack with its left fist.

Completed Crystal Golem
When the ethical debates raged within the Chamber of
Mith, the approval of the crystal golem project had a specific
criteria. The success of the program was contingent upon
the ability to instill moral character into the creation. Only
then would such a weapon be allowed to see life within
Mith. Previous attempts to imbue constructs with any sort
of compassion or true virtue had failed time and time again.
Other constructs had their purpose, but they were also
designed to be limited in their power, as anything else was
deemed irresponsible.
Completed Design. With the completion of the golem,
a spark that could only be glimpsed in its unfinished
form takes fire. Whether by the perfection of essence
transference or by the will of Alìm, this construct is, in fact,
its own, sentient lifeform. A completed crystal golem will
at times seem like a child with its curiosity for the world
Construct of War
The crystal golem’s form was designed for war under the harshest
around it, a sight altogether more curious when juxtaposed conditions. Due to its crystalline structure, it is a living, walking
against its incredible strength. Unlike a child, a golem siege engine. As such, it has advantage on any attacks made

golem will always be hostile to any shade creature it encounters.

 The Watch
The Watch originally existed as Mith’s guardians, a force of
troops that protected the nation’s borders. Recreated after
the reclamation of Mith and the founding of Contention, they
now serve as the brave souls who protect against the shade
epidemic, both within the protected lands—where they guard
their fellow Mithians—and outside them—where they seek to
drive back the denizens of darkness in an attempt to reclaim
Mith for the living once more.
Watch Initiate
In order to become a watch initiate, a Mithian child must
show an innate aptitude for combat. Those that exhibit such
abilities are enrolled in a decade long training and schooling
regimen. Spanning subjects from traditional scholastics to
combat, the study of the natural order, the supernatural order,
and the history of Mith are also of import. Upon completion of
their studies, a trainee graduates to the rank of Initiate
Initiate of the Watch. An initiate of the Watch is often
tasked with the duties of patrolling and guarding the interiors
of the reclaimed cities and camps of Mith. Though they are
less experienced than older members of the Watch, initiates
are still regarded with dignity and respect, especially by
55 Mithians not a part of the Watch.

impose disadvantage on the watch initiate’s ranged attack rolls
so long as they are attacking a creature within 5 feet of them.
The watch initiate may use a ranged weapon to take an opportunity
attack as though it was a melee weapon with a 5 foot reach.
If the watch initiate hits a creature within 5 feet of it with a
ranged weapon, it does not provoke opportunity attacks from
that creature until the end of its turn.
Specialized Arrows. Watch Initiates always carry forty arrows,
twenty silver tipped and twenty adamantine tipped. They have
ten of each in their quiver at any given time.
Actions
Multiattack. The watch initiate makes two attacks with its long
bow or one attack with its rapier and one with its watch rod.
They may use Spell Breaker as a bonus action.
Longbow. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 150/600 ft.,

they had taken the damage. If the effect has normally requires
concentration but has no source (e.g. potion of speed)
the effect is dispelled. Magical effects that do not require
concentration are unaffected.
Watch Member
To join the Watch is an honor that nearly every Mithian
dreams of being worthy of, and yet those that do become
full-fledged members of the Watch are often humble
amongst their peers. Being a member of the watch means
you have to see the worst there is on Mith. Those that
choose this life do so for one reason: to be of service.
Member of the Watch. There are many dark things
that travel across the land of Mith. A true Watch member
has seen and fought most of them. They are part warrior,
part tracker, part detective. Their experience among the
shadowy corners of Mith, from the edges of Alchemy Lake
to the borders of the Mistlands, and even the banks of the
River Crim have put them in harm’s way time and time
again. Nevertheless, a member of the Watch continues to
stalk the creatures that hunt their fellow Mithians.

them, and all of Mith, on the night of the fall Serapis’ mere
passing was enough to overload/trigger the wards, barely
slowing down the great inferus.

The mystic has advantage on saving throws from their own

spells.

Whenever the mystic casts a leveled spell they gain four plus
the spell level in temporary hit points.

Spellcasting. The mystic is an 8th-level spellcaster. Its spell-

casting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 14, +6 to hit with spell
Mithian Mystic attacks). It has the following druid spells prepared:

Cantrips (at will): produce flame, resistance, shillelagh

Mithians by their very nature are inclined to be proficient in
the mystic arts. For some that never becomes more than being
able to activate magical runes. For some, that talent leads
them on a path to a greater connection to the world around
them, and a greater connection to Alìm.
Connection to the Elements. Mystics are tied to the
land around them, but often connect to it through arcane
means. Fire is a formidable element that many mystics
will display proficiency with, but there are those that show
a connection to the air, water, and earth as well. Mystics
understand that the flow of their essence allows them to
tap into the greater magic of Alìm, and as such they treat
their body as an extension of Alìm. They avoid indulgences,
particularly alcohol, as it impairs their ability to sense the flow
of their energy.

 Mithian Guard Captain
When a Mithian lives long enough, their experience
becomes an example to those around them. Mithian
captains have decades of combat experience under their
belt. Guard captains are comfortable with a variety of
weapons in their hand, a result of dedicating their life to
perfect their craft. This has led them to become paragons
of protection among the Mithian people.
Captain of Mith. To other Mithians, seeing a
captain fight alongside them will give them a renewed
sense of purpose and confidence. Their tactical
knowledge provides those around them with exceptional
battle prowess.
59
Mithian Guard
To protect those in need, to serve those weaker than
yourself, that notion encapsulates what it means to be a
Mithian. A Mithian guard has dedicated their life to train
and grow stronger so that when the time comes, they
will be ready to save someone’s life, even if it comes at
the cost of their own.
Guardian and Protector. Trained by those
that are older and stronger than they, Mithian guards
go through countless hours of physical and mental
preparation before they are assigned a post, so that
when they are, they will be able to do whatever it takes
to save the lives of those around them.

 Ordan
The ordan are a strange race. Though they are
regarded favorably by the Mithians, they do not seem
to be much more intelligent than the gren. However,
whenever a matter of importance comes to the fore,
such as fire threatening their home, they seem to
demonstrate extreme intelligence, such as creating fire
breaks and even diverting rivers. Some mystics theorize
that it is Alìm itself that guides the ordan to do such
things. The mystics are the first to admit that they don’t
actually know how it happens.

Karina Drake
The head of the Mithian military, Karina has served her
fellow Mithians for centuries.
Daughter of Mith. Karina has devoted her life wholly to
the preservation of Mith and its people. It is often believed, due
to her having greater natural skill in combat than her husband,
that she would have been chosen as Aìm’s champion, if not for
the fact that she was more concerned with the people of Mith
specifically than all of Alìm. With those facts it surprised many
that Karina took the fall of Mith with calm acceptance. But she
has seen more than enough people and kingdoms rise and fall
to know that no people or government lasts forever. That isn’t
to say she didn’t plan on making the perpetrators of the fall pay
for it, dearly.

The elected leader of Mith, Jasper has served his fellow
Mithians for centuries.
Son of Mithos. A descendant of the legendary Mithos,

embody the ideals that spawned the Mithian people; service to
others, the protection of the weak, and the destruction of evil.
Servant of Alìm. Nearly all Mithians hold a special
reverence for Alìm, but Jasper is a step above all others. This
could be due to his family’s history of service, or perhaps his
possession of Agmin, the Divided Blade. Jasper will silently sit
in Agmin’s presence, meditating with the blade as a form of
regular communion with Alìm.

War Stories
For those that speak with Jasper at length, he will at first seem
like a pseudo-genuine politician. It is after talking with him for a
extended period that a different side will emerge. Once he has
begun to trust someone a little more, he will tell them tales of the
wars he has fought in, of the inferus and demons he’s killed, and
of the innocent lives he was too late to save. One story will haunt
him in particular, of an excursion to the land of Andrade, and the
complete decimation those people suffered. Half of the island was
devastated and turned to ash when a Gate explosion occurred, and
the resulting corruption gave birth to the first inferus. He’ll wipe
his lip absentmindedly, eyes distant for the moment. Then the
moment passes, and he’ll ask for one of their stories.

Armus Drake
Armus Drake is friend, brother-in-law, and bodyguard to
Jasper Mithos, making him responsible for Mith’s most
important figure.
Shield of Mith. The title of Shield comes to those
trusted with the safety of the Chamber Head. It is a duty and
honor given only to those that have proven themselves more
able than any other. Armus’ dedication to Jasper borders
on the extreme at times. He is particularly suspicious of
outsiders, doubly so for anyone that does not seem to show
Jasper Mithos the utmost respect.

Aetum Tower
Aetum Tower is most responsible for the creation of the

he immediately set about preparing all the crystal golems he
could for immediate deployment to the front lines.
Mage-Smith Master. A great artificer, Aetum Tower
also had his hand in almost all of the mage-smith’s advances
of his era. From the heating fork to the magical trebuchets,

animated armors the ability to wield weapons and shields

possessed, he quickly proved himself as a critical thinker, able
to navigate hurdles that others could not overcome.
Rogue Inquisitor. Upon being alerted that an incursion
was occurring in Mith, Ignos defied the orders of his 70
superiors and set sail from the Isle of Palor for Mith. Skilled
in seamanship from his childhood days, Ignos was able to
make the journey alone, but still at great peril to himself.

Greed, or can be relieved of duty if they do.

 Agmin, The Divided Blade
Weapon (longsword), artifact (requires attunement)

In the earliest days of the Old War, as the battle between Living Saints and
Demon Lords raged on, a mortal rose up to lead his people in the fight against
chaos. Mithos of Palor rallied those that would not sit idly by as destruction
covered half of Alìm, breaking their oath of neutrality.
Legends tell different stories of the origin of Agmin. One tells of how
Mithos ventured into the caverns beneath Palor and knelt before an Original,
one of the remaining dragons in Alìm, and how it blessed his quest with a piece
of its heart. Another tale claims in his rage at the continued neutrality of the
Palori elders that Mithos slammed his fist into council table and shattered it.
When the dust cleared, the sword sat waiting. Some say that Mithos climbed
to the highest mountain in Palor and prayed to Alìm for guidance, and the
blade rose up out of the soil beneath his hands. Regardless of its origins, the
appearance of Agmin divided the Palori.
Sword of the Palronin. As the nation of Palor split, those that sided
with Mithos accepted exile from their home as they ventured out to the regions
stricken by war. They became known as the Palronin. Led by Mithos, they
carved a path of victories against the Demon Lords of Bebelum. The power of
Mithos wielding Agmin could not be matched, and it was said that Alìm itself
protected him. Agmin is one of a select set of weapons made from alimite, the
substance from which all of Alìm was first crafted. Impossibly durable, it is
impervious to all forms of damage.
Animus. An additional property of alimite is its ability to harness and
conduct magic and the essence of its wielder. As your power grows, so does
Agmin’s powers grow. Upon reaching the specified level in the ability table
below, your affinity with the blade will unlock features after taking a short rest
to re-attune to Agmin. Each feature persists unless it is an improved version of
a previous one. With the passage of time, Agmin will morph in some regards to
symbolize the character that wields it. In times of extreme stress, the blade and
pommel will glow with energy that reflects the essence of its wielder.
Voice of Alìm. Attunement to Agmin is necessary to receive any of its
benefits. Chaotic alignment creatures attempting to attune to Agmin must
succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom Saving throw or take 1d4 psychic damage equal
to their hit dice. On a failed save they are also knocked prone. Successful
attunement results in visions from Alìm—at the DM’s preference, these can
be used to guide you to where Alìm wishes your character to go, usually in an
attempt to restore order or prevent the spread of chaos.

Blessing of the Ancient One

Weapon (quarterstaff), artifact (requires attunement)

The Ancient One is said to be the first and oldest of the Originals, though it could only be by a few moments if true. Known by
many names through the years the Ancient One is most known for his fondness for those who delve into the pursuits of magic,

ages, it is usually held by a Palori archmage.

 Flight of the Firebrand
Weapon (longbow), artifact (requires attunement)

The Firebrand is known for her fiery temper and for being the spearhead of the
great war between Alìm and the forces of Order, now known as the Firebrand
Rebellion. The Firebrand has always had a fondness for the nomads of the Red
Sands, and often chose her champions from their people, known for fierceness
in battle and dangerous hit and run tactics, they made fine champions for her.

Fury of the Storm Maker

Weapon (dagger), artifact (requires attunement)

The Storm Maker is a contradiction in natures to most observers, though she is the loudest of her brethren she also is the
most cunning. She has learned to use her storms to distract from her true intent when she wishes to accomplish something
below the notice of others. In keeping with this tradition, some of the names of her champions are splashed across the pages
of Alìm’s history, but there are stretches of years where she has no known champion.

 Messenger of the Eternal Dawn
Weapon (rapier), artifact (requires attunement)

The Eternal Dawn is often seen as the least threatening of her kind, a mistake few make twice. Though she does not often
enact violence on her enemies with the same viciousness of her sister Firebrand that makes her no less deadly. More often
than not she has chosen her champions, not from the ranks of the healers who avoid the battle but the ranks of those who
wage battle from the front to better look after those who are most likely to need their direct assistance.

 Reaper of the Final Dusk
Weapon (greatsword), artifact (requires attunement)

Though many fear the Final Dusk he is often regarded as the gentlest of his brethren. The thing
that the Final Dusk truly abhors is the fear of death that many mortals have and the lengths they
will go to avoid it. His special annoyance is for mages who seek to artificially inflate their own
life spans, often through reckless or hazardous practices. His champions were often known
for hunting down and dealing with rogue mages, especially servants of Evil, but any who
seemed to be a threat to the status quo.

Will of the Landcarver

Weapon (battleaxe), artifact (requires attunement)

The Landcarver is often viewed as the stalwart core of the Originals. Slow to act and reserved, he is often depended upon to
keep the other more agitable Originals in check. The only one to counsel against the Firebrand Rebellion, he was overruled
and of course did his duty to assist the other Originals. His greatest champion was lost during the early days of the Demon
Wars, and his axe fell from the annals of history, though none record its destruction.

Curse Breaker
Weapon (spear), artifact (requires attunement)

An ancient weapon, even its magical enchantments cannot protect it completely from the wear of
the ages stretching into the distant past, not to mention the destruction of its world. When Eon
was destroyed Curse Breaker was born away from the destruction with its wielder Zaruff. Hurtling
through the void between worlds Zaruff could only hold onto one object and so he abandoned his
weapon in favor of clasping the gem that had granted him so much power over his life and indeed
was the reason he was able to live through the destruction of his home world.
Breaker of Curses. Since its ancient origins as a weapon to fight against otherworldly forces
Curse Breaker has been used in combat for years beyond ken. Though the ages it has slowly
accumulated power to itself, gaining a sliver of power each time it slew an enemy with magical
powers or dispelled a magical aura, it slowly gained power over the years uncounted. To this day
it continues to slay its enemies and dispel foul magics, taking slivers of power where it can to
increase its own.
While Curse Breaker is not outright sentient it does have an echo of its creator’s will in it,
urging its wielder to feats of great strength and heroism, against all odds. It also reserves its great
powers for only those who are worthy of it. To reflect this it grants its wielder more powers as they
grow in strength, only unlocking its true strength when its wielder reaches the specified level in the
ability table below, your affinity with the weapon will unlock features after taking a short rest to Curse
re-attune to the weapon. Each feature persists unless it is an improved version of a previous one. Breaker

 Shards of Creation
Shards of larger gems broken off they still resonate deeply with the very base powers of creation. Deeply magical to even those unfamiliar
with the arcane arts they glow from within with energy. They feed off the power around them, slowly growing to try and reform their full
crystal, but there is little chance that such a shard can gain enough power to form a full crystal even after millions of years.
Pieces of the Cosmos. Each shards power lies dormant within themselves, slowly awakening as those around it gain power and
feed it from their stores of internal energy. The shards slowly awaken and gain more strength, benefiting their bearers as the shards
attempt to gather enough energy to once again become whole and form a full gem. Though it would take millions of lifetimes to do so
since the shards act only on the laws of the cosmos and not on consciousness of their own they are infinitely patient, like any other gem.
When a player reaches the specified level in the ability table below, your affinity with the shard will unlock features after
taking a short rest to re-attune to the shard. Each feature persists unless it is an improved version of a previous one.

 Maximilian

Maximilian
Armor (breastplate), artifact (requires attunement)

Said to have been crafted by the greatest smiths in Halceon

for the first emperor, Aaron of Mithos, its fate became much
darker than planned. After the Sundering, when the demon
lord Violus was ripped from his body, his spirit took refuge in
this radatium breastplate.
Thought lost in the war it resurfaced long afterward
and was just thought to be a fine piece of armor, but it drove
Aaron into a suspect those around him as treacherous,
causing him to persecute his people and create a secret
police. Aaron eventually became so paranoid that he stopped
removing his armor when he slept. It was halted only when
the Living Saint Verial cracked the armor, driving off the
demonic taint inside of it and freeing the emperor from its
corrupting influence. Unfortunately, since it was the first
time he’d been out of the armor his personal guard took that
opportunity to assassinate him.
Armor of the Emperor. After the death of the
Emperor his son ordered that the armor be melted down
and the valuable radatium that made it up be sold off in an
attempt to make reparations for his father’s ruthless acts.
They were the only coins ever minted with Aaron’s face, to
remind all that wealth and power are not protection from
ultimate justice.
Though no rumors are confirmed, it is said that an
interested party has recently bought up all the coins, paying
a premium for each. None now are known to exist, but it is
all one would need to forge the legendary armor again, this
time without its demonic taint.
The radatium that Maximilian is crafted from holds
an echo of Violus’ power, and while it is not sentient it does
grow slowly in power to match its wearer. Whenever its
wearer reaches the specified level in the ability table below,
your affinity with the armor will unlock features after taking
a short rest to re-attune to the armor. Each feature persists
unless it is an improved version of a previous one.

Appendix A: Learnable Feats
To learn Breaker Of Chains, the adventurers must
learn it directly from Geath Chainbreaker. To learn
Mithian Army Training, they must study it from a
Mithian leader that possesses the feat, such as Karina
Mithos. Even if she is injured and posses only one arm
she can still train players in the proper forms, though
she can’t use them herself anymore. They may then
select the feats whenever they would normally be able
to select a feat.

Breaker of Chains
• Your attacks automatically count as critical hits against
inanimate objects.
• You may use your action to free yourself from non-magical
objects restraining or grappling you.
• You have advantage on melee attacks against creatures
with 0 speed.

Mithian Army Training

• While you are wielding a versatile weapon in two hands
upgrade the damage dice one step (a d8 becomes d10, d10
becomes d12).
• While you are wielding a versatile weapon in two hands
you gain a +1 bonus to your AC.
• Before you takes a melee attack with a versatile weapon
being wielded in two hands, you may choose to take a
bonus to that roll equal to your proficiency bonus. If the
attack hits, you subtract damage from that attack equal to
half your proficiency bonus.
