The Great Firebird
T
he Firebird appears in many stories
throughout history, and in with many
abilities different.
The prize at the end of a difficult quest.
Adventurers set-off to find the creature
responsible for a rather unique and
powerful feather, maybe to save their
people or kingdom, or perhaps selfish gain. The Firebird is
always a marvel, a powerful guardian, or tremendous
terror.
Some folk tales say that the Firebird is a mystical bird
that flies around a king's castle and at night swoops down
and eats all the king's golden apples, burning fields and
killing people as it feels. Others say that the firebird is a
being of light and life his eyes sparkling and with pearls
falling from its beak, giving hope to those who need it.
The Great Firebird holds a natural connection to the
creatures of the world and can call on them for aid, or
protect them from harm.
The Great Firebird drops feather as it flies
across the skies, and some of these can hold
magical properties. The Great Firebird can
also choose to gift any one of these feathers
and release it on command. The properties
of these feathers are:
All Feathers: As an action you can activate
the feathers light (as the Light Cantrip).
This property is no lost unless the feather
is destroyed.
Orange Feather: Requires Attunement.
When activated the feather leads the
attuned user to the location of Minokowa.
Minokowa will grant 1 request within its
power to the attuned user of the feather.
Once you have reached the destination the
feather loses its magic.
Red Feather: If the creature holding the
feather dies, the feather burns up and is
destroyed as it applies the effects of the
Revivify spell.
Dark Green Feather: Requires
Attunement. 1/Day it can be activated to
grant the attuned creature the ability to
communicate with Beasts or Monstrosities
for 1 hour. The feathers magic can be
consumed to cast the Dominate Monster

Monstrosity type. The creature has
disadvantage on the saving throw if it
chooses to make one due to the origin of
the feather.
Light Green Feather: Requires
Attunement. 1/Day can cast Goodberry.
The attuned user can choose to consume
the magic of the feather to simultaneously

Restoration on up to 3 targets within 10 ft.

apply any proficiency to.
