The Day of Revelation—skies burned, earth shattered, and the echoes of the Cataclysm are still felt

The Vertical Divide

Zephyr’s Veil is a city of stark contrasts, its towering
sandstone spires and subterranean depths reflecting the
inequalities that define its society. The city’s structure is as
much a testament to humanity’s ingenuity as it is a symbol
of its divisions. The verticality of Zephyr’s Veil divides its
populace, wealth, and power into three distinct layers: the
Heavens, the Core, and the Bowels.

burden and a motivation, the citizens dreaming of better
lives but succumbing to the weight of inequality instead.

Life in Zephyr’s Veil

Zephyr’s Veil’s streets are crowded, its markets vibrant,
and its people diverse, with refugees from across the
Material Plane bringing a mix of cultures, trades, and
traditions. Life in the city is marked by sharp contrasts:
wealth and power are concentrated in a few, while
the majority struggles with soaring costs of living and
limited opportunities. In Zephyr’s Veil, survival demands
ingenuity and adaptability.

Zephyr’s Veil’s divide is etched in stone—ornate artistry in the Heavens gives way to utilitarian
facades in the Core, before crumbling into rough-cut sandstone in the Bowels.

system too loudly disappear.
Psionics and Technology
Zephyr’s Veil survives on the fusion of magic, psionics,
and primitive technology. Constructs perform basic tasks,
patrolling streets and assisting with city maintenance, but
they also enforce order. Body modifications have flooded
onto the scene, becoming commonplace. The elite, more
often than not, have their bodies modified for cosmetic
reasons. Everyone else undergoes modifications to gain a
leg up over the competition or to replaced lost limbs from
extremely dangerous working conditions.

A Powder Keg of Rebellion

Discontent simmers. The wealth divide grows more
apparent with every passing day, and rumors of a coming
uprising spread like wildfire. In the Bowels, graffiti
scrawls warn of “a reckoning,” and whispers of rebellion
echo in the dimly lit tunnels.
In the Core, protests are met with swift and brutal
crackdowns, and the divination sentinels are always one
step ahead of the dissenters, who have named themselves
the Veilbreakers. The Heavens, meanwhile, remains aloof,
its residents believing their wealth and power will shield
them from any threat.

Hope in the Shadows

Amid the oppression and scarcity, pockets of hope
remain. The Veilbreakers organize covert resistance
groups, smuggling resources to the Bowels and spreading
information about the true nature of the artifacts. Others
work tirelessly in the Core, using their ingenuity to create
tools and devices that could one day level the playing field.
Even in the Heavens, a few disillusioned elites secretly
aid the rebellion, their motives ranging from genuine
empathy to calculated self-preservation.

Revealing their identity will have serious repercussions, and they are relying upon you to raise money and secure their

arrive as soon as you have accumulated enough funds with further instructions.
3 You gain 5 levels of exhaustion.
4 The ground you're standing on abruptly juts up into the air at an angle. A seismic shift is tearing your location apart as
rivulets of lava begin bubbling to the surface in a one-mile radius around you.
5 You cast Uncontrollable Undead at level 9, see page 79.
6 You automatically fail all ability checks until you finish a long rest.
7 The next time you take damage, you are knocked unconscious for 1d4 hours. You can only be awoken early by the Greater
Restoration spell. While unconscious, you glimpse a potential future where you have failed a vital task not yet laid upon
you.
8 A ghostly bagpipe quartet follows you around for 1d12 days, loudly playing the songs of their people.
9 For the next 1d12 days, you suddenly look incredibly shifty and are thoroughly questioned by all officials who see you. If
there are unresolved crimes in the area, you immediately become the prime suspect.
10 You lose any remaining hit dice.
11 You lose the ability to walk on the ground but gain a hover speed equal to your previous speed. A halo appears above your
head and can't be hidden by any means. A trumpeting fanfare accompanies you. Every humanoid feels obligated to ask for
your blessing while simultaneously feeling a burning hatred for you. These changes last until you take a long rest.
12 A hostile CR 1d10 creature appears in an unoccupied space 1d100 feet away from you. It lasts until it drops to 0 hit points.

away from the party.
15 A sinkhole suddenly opens at your feet. You fall 1d100 feet, taking 1d6 bludgeoning damage for each 10 feet that you
plummet. At the bottom, you find an imprisoned creature.
16 Until you take a long rest, treat a natural 20 as a 1.
17 You become obsessed with an idea for a magical creation and spend the next week attempting to create a magical artifact.
You spend all your money, and attempt to borrow funds from others, on materials to create this artifact.
18 You are suddenly holding a box, which you are unable to put down, covered in 10 powerful glyphs of danger. A warning
glows across the top of the box that says, “Do not open.” Each round one of the glyphs stops glowing.

the sleeper awake. For each round they sleep, they may spend 1 hit dice. If they sleep all 3 rounds, they gain the benefits

23 The prized possession of a powerful creature is transported to the closest town to your location. The creature is aware of
the general location of their possession.
24 A portal opens in the nearest unoccupied space next to you to a random location determined by the GM. You are unable
to close it.
25 You become oppressed by an evil spirit. The spirit lasts until you complete a long rest, though you do not gain the benefits
of the long rest as it torments you through the night. While oppressed, you are inflicted with the deafened and poisoned
conditions. If you successfully grapple a target while oppressed, the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw
equal to your spell save DC, or the spirit leaves you and oppresses the grappled target instead.
26 You suddenly struggle to think. You are knocked prone and can't use bonus actions until you complete a long rest.
27 Your mind is overwhelmed. Until you take a long rest, you are unable to recall any words longer than 4 letters or cast
spells that have a verbal component.
28 You feel extreme lethargy overcoming your body. Every round, you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw at the
end of your turn or become stunned for 1d4 hours. The DC for the save starts at 1, incrementing by 1 every round until
you fail at which point you no longer need to save against the effect.
29 You can now only speak in limericks, riddles, or proverbs until you finish a long rest.
30 An antimagic field radiates from you in a 10ft radius. This effect lasts until you lose hit points. If you had a summon up,
this effect represses the summon.
31 The convergence needs more power and immediately uses the highest level spell slot of the closest creature to you with
remaining spell slots. You gain additional summoner points that can be spent on the enhance summon feature equal to
the spell slot. The creature who lost their spell slot immediately knows it was consumed by you and can unerringly track
you for the next 1d4 days.
32 A fey that only you can see appears in an adjacent space and badgers you for a debt you owe for a transgression against
the fey. It will continue badgering you until the debt is resolved.
33 A coconut falls from the sky directly onto your head, dealing 1d6 bludgeoning damage and knocking you prone.
34 Until you take a short or long rest, your Strength ability score increases to 24, and your Intelligence ability score
decreases to 6
35 Whenever you or a creature you can hear tells a lie, a small mouth appears on your body and screams, "They are lying!"
until you finish a long rest.
36 You are immediately the subject of the Maze spell for up to 10 minutes. If you succeed on your first check, you catch a
glimpse into the mind of someone key to a current or future quest and gain knowledge of one crucial detail.
37 A pillar of stone bursts from the ground in your space, raising you 30 feet into the air. If you collide with a solid object,
you take 1d6 damage for every 10 feet traveled and are restrained. The pillar has an AC of 5 and 30 hit points. When
reduced to 0 hit points, it collapses back into the earth.
38 A set of earthen spikes erupt from the ground creating a glowing sigil in every unoccupied space within 60 feet of you.
The spaces count as difficult terrain and deal 2d4 piercing damage whenever a creature enters the space. You do not
know what the sigil does or means. The spikes have an AC of 15 and 30 hit points. They last until destroyed.
39 The seventh stranger you encounter tells you an ancient secret before he perishes from a giant fist bursting through the
ground and pulling him into a molten pool of lava.
40 An explosion of force energy catapults your closest ally at the furthest enemy within 150ft. For each 10 feet traveled, the
ally deals 1d10 bludgeoning damage to the enemy upon impact. The ally takes 1d4 damage for every ten feet that were
traveled. If no enemies are in range, the ally is pushed into the ground up to their neck and restrained until freed by a
Strength (Athletics) check against your spell save DC.
41 You become immune to the frightened condition. The next time you lose hit points, you lose this immunity and
immediately become frightened until you finish a short or long rest.
42 You immediately disappear into the ground and are undetectable by non-magical means. You reappear in your current
space at the beginning of your next turn. If your space is now occupied, you remain underground but move 5 feet to the
south. At the beginning of your next turn, you attempt to reappear. If something is still in your space, you continue this
sequence until you can appear in an unoccupied space.

 43 Light radiates from you for 1 minute. Enemies within 5 feet have disadvantage on their attacks, and you have advantage
on attacks against them. Enemies further than 5 feet have advantage on attacks against you.
44 The ground shakes beneath your feet. Everyone within 20 feet of you, including you, must make a Strength saving throw
equal to your spell DC or fall prone. You have advantage on the saving throw. All creatures concentrating on a spell
affected by this effect must make a Concentration check.
45 A random object flies in a random direction determined by the GM.
46 You and a random enemy chosen by the GM swap locations.
47 Your mind is momentarily connected to an aberration of a CR equal to half your level. You gain knowledge of this
aberration. This gives you either the necessary knowledge to create a summoning formula for the Aberration if you have
a feature to summon it or a +1 bonus to a skill of your choice with which you are not proficient. You then take psychic
damage equal to your level.
48 You sprout an uncontrollable tentacle out of your back. It grapples the nearest creature within 10 feet. The creature, or
one within 5 feet of it, can spend an action to attempt to escape the grapple with a Strength (Athletics) check against
your spell DC. If it is not grappling something, it will attempt to grapple a target on each of your turns before you perform
any actions. The tentacle lasts for 1 minute.
49 Every creature within 30 feet of you is shoved 30 feet away from you and knocked prone. You are launched 30 feet
straight up and if a solid object, such as a ceiling, is encountered you suffer fall damage before falling back down and
suffering fall damage again. Any objects not attached to something, being carried, or worn are shoved 100 feet away from
you.
50 You recognize the clothing styles of the nearest creature and gain advantage on any history checks related to the area for
the next minute.
51 A mage hand pokes the two nearest creatures in the eye. They take 2 piercing damage each.
52 A tiny celestial and fiend appears on the opposite shoulders of a random creature within 30 feet of you. They suggest
opposing courses of action until the target follows a suggestion by one of them, at which point they swap opinions and
argue for another minute before disappearing.
53 You permanently have swirling eddies of light under your skin, providing dim light for 10 feet. Increase the distance by 10
feet if this effect comes up again.
54 Your next attack that hits does twice as much damage, but you also take half the total damage.
55 You determine you are the chosen one. Until you take damage, you deal an additional 1d10 damage each time you or your
summon damages an enemy. When you take damage, the effect ends, and you take an additional 2d10 damage.
56 Two objects in your possession suddenly break out in a heated argument in infernal. Any creature within 60 feet can
clearly hear the dispute.
57 All creatures reroll initiative. If not in combat, you gain advantage on your next initiative roll.
58 Until you finish a short or long rest, you swap places with a random creature within 60 feet of you at the start of your turn.
59 Until you finish a long rest, every action you do is followed by an exaggerated sound effect. It is said failures can elicit the
fabled horns of disappointment.
60 4d20 gems, value 10 gp each, shoot equally distributed at each creature within 60ft, including you. Each gem deals 1 point
of slashing damage.
61 The area around you in a 15-foot cube becomes difficult terrain that lasts for the next minute.
62 A splinter of force magic strikes every target you can see, dealing force damage equal to your proficiency bonus.
63 You and your summons gain 1d4 temporary hit points.
64 The thoughts of all creatures within 10 feet of you, including you, become audible until you take a short or long rest.
65 Ice falls from the sky in every square touching yours. All other creatures take your proficiency bonus bludgeoning damage
and are in difficult terrain.
66 You heal a number of hit points equal to 5 times your character level as small green mushrooms and leaves sprout along
your body. You are poisoned until you take a short or long rest as a dark yellowish cloud of mushroom spores permeates
the air within 5 feet of you. Any creature within 5 feet of you is also poisoned.
67 For a number of rounds equal to your Constitution modifier, all your movement speeds increase by 20 feet as time warps
around you. When the effect ends, all your movement speeds decrease by 20 feet for a number of rounds equal to your
Constitution modifier as time catches up.
68 You identify the next spell targeting you and gain advantage on avoiding it or cause the caster to have disadvantage on the
casting.
69 You accidentally seduce the next creature you lock eyes with.
70 When you make an ability check, if your total for the check is less than your ability score, you can use that score instead of
the total. This lasts until you take a long rest.
71 You feel inspired and gain inspiration.
72 A rainbow appears in the sky from your location to a spot directly north of you 1d100 miles away, where a pot of gold
worth 20d100 gold pieces is hidden. The rainbow lasts until you take a short or long rest.
73 The nearest friendly creature grows two sizes larger. This lasts until you take a long rest.
74 Every ally you can see gains 1 hit point. If that puts them over their max hit points, they gain 1 temporary hit point. If they
are unconscious, they wake up.
75 Your body is suddenly covered by intricate tattoos of stylized words in a language you can’t read, with an exquisitely
detailed building you don’t recognize depicted on your chest.
76 You gain the ability to smell gold within 10 feet. Increase the distance by 10 feet every time this effect comes up.
77 You have advantage on Intelligence based checks until you take a long rest.

 78 The next time you take your turn, you have an additional action.
79 You suddenly give off an air of authority. For the next 1d12 days, people will involve you in all manner of activities to get
your opinion and support.
80 A clone of you appears in every unoccupied space adjacent to you. The clones have 1 hit point, mimic your every
movement, and last until you take a short or long rest.
81 Your vision momentarily enhances, allowing you to catch a glimpse of a reflection, light, or similar visual phenomenon that
looks out of place. Your vision then reverts to its normal state.
82 The next time someone within earshot brags about an achievement, they immediately have explosive diarrhea.
83 You suddenly feel an increased weight on your person and discover an additional 10d100 gold pieces.
84 Leaves sprout all over your body, and you can only feel at ease in nature. You have advantage on Wisdom checks until you
take a long rest. Once every hour, a friendly beast brings you a gift. You are unable to take a long rest unless your body is
buried up to your neck in loose earth.
85 You summon a force warrior. See stats for tribal warrior and add force resistance. This creature has its own turn in
combat, is friendly to you and your allies, and remains until you take a long rest or it drops to 0 hit points.
86 You telepathically hear a message that you have been included in the will of a powerful wizard. To participate, you must be
in his tower at the solar eclipse, which occurs 21 days from now. You feel a pull in the direction of the tower.
87 You immediately spend 1 hit dice. If you are already at full health, you gain that many temporary hit points, otherwise heal
for the amount rolled.
88 A friendly CR 1d10 creature appears in an unoccupied space 1d100 spaces away from you. It lasts until it drops to 0 hit
points, or you take a long rest.
89 All your ability scores become 20 until you complete a long rest.
90 You fill your enemies with dread. Every enemy that can see you has their movement speed reduced by 50% for 1 minute.
91 The next shopkeeper you see gives you a treasure map and a magical compass to help you find the treasure.
92 You gain 5 temporary hit points for each hostile creature you can see, which creates a brightly glowing shield on you,
providing bright light in a 50 foot radius and dim light for an additional 50 feet. The light lasts as long as you have the
temporary hit points.
93 You gain a fly speed of 30 feet that lasts until you take a short or long rest
94 You are mistaken for a local hero that hasn't been seen in a few years.
You pay half prices while in the vicinity and have advantage on Persuasion checks.

 Rogue: Nightshade
Nightshades aren’t just at home in the darkness, they
embody it. Whispered secrets from their order contain
the keys to unlocking the true power of darkness. Using
shadows as tools, Nightshades dominate the darkness,
bending it to their will. Sometimes there is good reason to
be afraid of the dark.

Darkness Empowerment
3rd-Level Nightshade Feature
You gain darkvision with a range of 60 feet. If you already
have darkvision from another source, its range increases
by 30 feet. Additionally, when you start your turn in dim
light or darkness, your speed increases by 5 feet or 10
feet, respectively. While in darkness, you also manifest
shadowy tendrils, granting you a climbing speed equal to
your walking speed.

Consume Light
3rd-Level Nightshade Feature
As a bonus action, you can choose a point within 30 feet
of you that you can see. Nonmagical light sources within
a 5-foot radius of the point are immediately extinguished.
If at least one light source is extinguished, you gain
temporary hit points equal to your rogue level.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when
you finish a long rest.

Shadow Embrace
9th-Level Nightshade Feature
Your shadow obscures you, granting you the benefits
of dim light while in bright light and of darkness while
in dim light. In addition, when you deal Sneak Attack
damage to a creature that is in darkness, the creature
becomes frightened until the end of its next turn.

Dark Flight
13th-Level Nightshade Feature
While in darkness, you can manifest shadowy wings
(no action required) to gain a flying speed equal to your
walking speed and the ability to hover. In addition, you
can now use Consume Light as a reaction to a light source
being lit within 30 feet of you.

Summon Darkness
17th-Level Nightshade Feature
You can cast darkness without expending a spell slot and
requiring no material components. Charisma is your
spellcasting ability for this spell. You can see through the
darkness created by your casting of the spell.

2nd-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (bat fur and a drop of pitch or

Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
Magical darkness spreads from a point you choose within
range to fill a 15-foot-radius sphere for the duration.
The darkness spreads around corners. A creature
with darkvision can’t see through this darkness, and
nonmagical light can’t illuminate it.
If the point you choose is on an object you are holding
or one that isn’t being worn or carried, the darkness
emanates from the object and moves with it. Completely
covering the source of the darkness with an opaque
object, such as a bowl or a helm, blocks the darkness.
If any of this spell’s area overlaps with an area of light
created by a spell less than or equal to the level of the spell
slot used to cast darkness, the spell that created the light
is dispelled.
At Higher Levels. When you choose to cast this spell
using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, select an effect
from the options below per spell level higher than 2nd.
Inky Tendrils. The radius of the spell can increase
or decrease by 5ft for each additional spell slot of 3rd

Lingering Gloom. Increase the duration by 1 hour.
Midnight Speed. Your speed increases by 10ft while in
the spell’s area of effect.
Monstrous Shadows. Creatures not in the darkness see

Iku could distantly hear the footsteps approaching. He had
urged the rest of the party to continue without him, slowed as
they were with the wounded. If he failed, the village had to
be warned of the cultists looking for sacrifices for their dark
ritual. He was the only one who had a chance of delaying them
and didn’t want distractions to worry about. He was enough.
Iku stepped into the road when the cultists were only a
short distance away, darkness immediately spreading from
him, blocking out all light. His devilish eyes could clearly see
their wicked grins turn to apprehension and fear. With his
empowered speed, he quickly darted among the blinded cultists,
imitating their voices, blasting them with his eldritch magic,
and throwing the mob into complete disarray. Half the group
tried to move across the illusory bridge the wizard had left
behind, falling to their doom, while the other half scattered
back the way they had come. He sprouted a toothy grin as he
sauntered towards the village, a macabre scene in his wake.
