King's Shadows

A shadowy arm of the King's Citadel, the **King's Shadow** is made up of only the monarch's most trusted agents, with few outside of it knowing of it's existence. Made up mostly of sleeper agents, they perform secret tasks around Khorvaire and beyond, but mostly wait to aid the monarch in a time of great need. When Sarlonan agents took the place of King Boranel ir'Wynarn and attempted to have him assassinated, the King's Shadow helped Boronel escape from Breland, and meet up with Beric Rowan in Stormreach.

Powered Armor

This set of powered armor was given to Booyah by Boranel as a reward for helping the king return to power. It's cautioned that it needs to be handled very carefully and thoughtfully, which causes Beric and Dex some stress.

## Description

The suit resembles an unusual plate armor. It's finely articulated, and covers the whole body, including the head. It's unusal in that the helm has no eye openings; there's a broad glass plate in the front, with a second piece above it. There are strange plates and tubings, large metal pieces in seemingly random fashion. On the back of the armor's left gauntlet is a rectangular metal box from which projects a short rod tipped with a cone-shaped red crystal. There are little pins on the inside; the armor is powered by the wearer.

## Properties

Whoever wears the armor gains the following benefits:

* +1 AC
* A strength score of 18
* Advantage on death saving throws

The armor has additional features that are activated by paying five hitpoints. These are all bonus actions.

* Emit a force field to gain 2d6+5 temporary hitpoint
* Activate boosters to gain a flying speed of 15 feet for one minute
* Fire an arm mounted laser with +8 to hit, range of 120ft., one target, dealing 2d6 radiant damage
* Translate any writing you can see in any non-magical language, for a total of 1000 words in one minute
* Fill the armor with air allowing you to breath in any enviroment up to one hour
* Gain darkvision up to 60ft.

* Ep. 99: As a boon for helping reinstate Boranel on the throne, Booyah is given the Powered Armor.

Ep. 38 Ancient Memories Chapter Four

—Giant

Our four heroes stand in the giant's ruins with Prince Oargev. They hear a giant approaching and all take cover, Oargev going back inside the cage. They hear two giants out front bickering, and then they bust into the room. They're confused by the Tent of Devouring Booyah had set up and kick it out of the way. Seeing no way they can stay hidden, Dex jumps out and attacks, followed directly by Booyah fleeing between the giant's legs. The fight with the two giants culminates with Booyah feeding one giant to the tent, and Dex attached to the other's leg via ribbonweave, while Drakir rides on his back via Shadowblades. They finish him off and feed the second one to the tent, as well.

Down the hallway they go, coming eventually to a statue of a giant and an elf. They figure the puzzle out and it opens to reveal a hidden hallway. After some way down they find many giants gathered to witness an execution.

Sigil

Art by enecola

Sigil is a warforged with an affinity for magic. They're soft-spoken and not interested in fighting, much less battle or war. They have beliefs that some would label as off-kilter.

They weren't made for war, and don't know what their purpose was supposed to be. They don't have many memories before the Day of Mourning.

## History

Sigil was created in Eston, Cyre, and lived there for a while. They were helping their master build something that would "hopefully save a lot of people." Sigil got along well with him, but the man's son, Norin, did not respect Sigil, and was openly hostile towards them.

Sigil was sent to Sharn to be upgraded by Merrix d'Cannith. They thought it was supposed to take several days, but were surprised to find it only took a few moments. The next morning, Sigil goes back to Merrix's workshop to make sure it's working properly. They go through some seemingly mundane tasks, like grabbing dragonshards and opening boxes. When they're finished, Sigil goes back to the train station to return home, and discovers to their horror that Cyre is gone.

Not knowing what to do anymore, Sigil ends up in an alley, crying to themself. This is when Kath and Sana find them, and give them a home with their group.

## Schemas

Sigil has become obsessed with learning about some schemas they found on a job. The schemas made some warforged unusually powerful, and Sigil is worried about what else they can do. They devote all of their time and attention to it, to the point that their friends are becoming concerned for them. Since warforged don't sleep, Sigil is spending literally every moment with the schemas.

## Innate magic

Sigil is able to interact with things created by dragonmarked houses in ways that normally no one can. It's as if they can see how the magic is supposed to work.

About eight months before their job at the Cannith warehouse, they were on a job and needed a getaway vehicle. Sigil was able to steal an earth sled and drive it for about a hundred feet before passing out, when normally someone without a mark wouldn't have been able to operate it at all.

## Appearances

Sigil is a recurring NPC for all of the second campaign.

## Trivia

* Sigil's ability to control things that require a dragonmark is his Heroic Ability.

Gro' Terralen

—Gro' Terralen[src]

The leader of the Gatekeepers, the largest druidic sect in The Eldeen Reaches.

## History

### Into the Gloaming

Shayana and Farlan lead Beric, Dex, and Therudak to meet Terralen in the hopes that the three will help them complete their ritual. There's a brilliant white archway similar to the one in the Faded Forest that they want to open a portal through, thinking they can deal a devestating blow to the shadows invading Eberron.

He tells them they'll find they keystone in Vvaraak's hoard, but they must only take the keystone. If they need help, Oalian, a great tree druid, will offer them guidance if they place their hand on the bark and speak.

When the party returns with the keystone, Terralen is surprised and a little taken aback by their hostile attitude; they were offered gifts by Vvaraak, but they rejected them because the orc told them to only take the keystone. Terralen takes offence and after some bickering Beric shoves the keystone into his hands and Terralen goes back to complete the ritual.

The gathered druids at Greenheart and in a semi-circle and he walks between them, offering the wood to complete the archway. Green light starts connecting between the druids until it suddenly goes out and the archway is filled with darkness. A figure almost comes out, but a second one scares it off with some sort of silver light. The portal closes behind the figure, and it's revealed to be Jacob.
Primofit Herbon

Primofit is a scientist who works with Norson Milhatch's labs. He figured out a way to use dragonshards in a way that you don't need elementals.

Gaulronak

A giant living in the Tents of Rusheme.

## History

### Trials and Tribulations

The party meets Gaulronak to ask for his help navigating to the giant ruins in the Xen'drik jungle, as well as to see if he has any advice for them when they get there. Gaulronak looks unimpressed with these travelers until Beric greets him in Giant. He pays a bit more attention and answers their questions.

He tells them that there are tales of weapons that cut planes and harness the magic of dragons and flying snakes. They might find such items in the tombs of the giants. He has one condition: any giant artifact they see belongs to the giants. Gold, jewels, anything else they can keep.

The attack on Senusret continues. The room is filled with lava as his greatsword misses and slams into the floor, creating a big crack. As his hellhounds die, Senusret becomes less on fire and becomes easier to hit. Booyah is covered with a red hot iron net, but manages to scramble out. After finally killing the giant, the party ventures deeper into the ruins and comes upon a mural. Luckily, Booyah has the scroll from his bag which lets him read any language, and he can interpret that it depicts many of the pact bearers with their bonded items. The group is able to find a hidden passage in the mural and go through it.

—Beric

The party is finally able to take a breather. Beric starts training with some sword master, Dex patrols the Brelish area of Stormreach for any news, and Booyah works with Gerald to improve Planar Justice.

Charlie makes the rounds and collects Booyah, Dex, and Beric (though they don't make it easy). They're led down an alleyway to a small building, and Lassite brings them to a back room, where he shows them a deactivated obelisk and asks them to break into the house of Yorrick Amanatu, who is rumored to have an obelisk in his basement. In exchange, they'll be given a large sum of money. He has one request for if they do find the obelisk: kill him.

## Quotes

"We watch Beric, make sure he no romance."
*—Booyah*

"Can you imagine the baths we could get with that kind of money?"
*—Dex*

## Trivia

* Beric takes his first Kensai level.

—Dedrick Beynar

The morning after killing Yorrick Amanatu, the party vacates the safe room Varen Lassite provided for them. They pass Amanatu's house on the way and are devestated to find a memorial set up out front: the house wasn't empty. The butler was killed in the fire they started.

Booyah starts reading from the white book and a story reminds him of his son, Doolah. He was always confused by the little goblin's nature to help people, and tries to do better because of him.

Beric goes to the Black Freighter and sees his mentor, Dedrick Beynar, there. They talk and Beynar gives him a dark shard of some unknown material.

Once back on the ship, they have one more thing to deal with: Gerald. He's upset that they haven't asked about Crast being gone, and he can't look himself because he's scared the Houses will find his mark. Beric and Dex are equally mad when Gerald blows up at them, and the fight ends with Beric storming off the ship. Only Booyah sees Gerald's side and offers to help find Crast.

## Trivia

* The party hit level 8! Beric took a class of kensai, Booyah took ranger and the sharpshooter feat, and Dex took rogue.

Ep. 48 The Power of Words Chapter Three

—Dex

Sigur shares with Dex the story of the Saerone Order. Originally from Lamania, lycanthropes were tricked into invading Eberron, and his order is benevolent and trains new lycanthropes who can keep control. He offers to train Dex in such a way. Dex is intrigued but wants to wait on his decision.

The lycanthropes return to the jungle, and the party continue on their way. Upon entering Stormreach, Beric notices everyone with their heads in the Sharn Inquisitive and manages to snag one. It talks about King Boranel seizing power in Breland, and blaming the nations surrounding them for terrorist attacks in their land. Beric is beyond upset and to cool off, they head for the bath house.

Inside Tranquil Serenity, Dex and Booyah have nice, relaxing baths, while Beric lops off his hair and then has an argument with his sword.

They return to *Borrowed Time*, which Gerald has decorated with his lightning powers. After sobering Dex up with a Frostbite spell, the party has a conversation about what their next move is, and settle on finding out what Lassite wants from them.

## Spells

* **Beric**
	+ Frostbite

## Quotes

"Beric, I swear to god, if you hit me one more time, I'm gonna…well, I don't know. I'm still scared of you. I'm not sure what you can do. I guess I'm just gonna take it. Well, I'm gonna go sleep this off."
*—Dex*
Thorin Stoneknuckle

—Thorin

A dwarf working for the King's Citadel. **Thorin** previously worked with Crast, enough to have gained his trust when Crast and Drakir went to Wroat to break Commander Bala out of prison.

## History

### Jailbreak

Thorin had been stationed in Wroat for the trial and execution of Commander Bala. He didn't normally work as security, but with the increasing number of high-risk prisoners he'd been reassigned temporarily. Crast contacted him and he agreed to help break her out. With the help of Drakir, they start planning their heist.

Thorin makes use of two contacts he's made in the city: Devlin, who they aquire a potion for water breathing, and Eva, who's a low-level member of the Swords of Liberty. After some coaxing, Crast is convinced to at least let them help be a distraction.

### Epilogue

Thorin attends the wake of Beric, Booyah, Dex, and Therudak. He tells the story of the day he met them—the strangest day of his life—and he does not enjoy the spotlight at all.

## Relationships

### Crast Wott

Thorin and Crast have worked a few missions together. They're not best friends, but Crast trusted Thorin enough to give him the information about Bala when they had to break her from prison in Wroat. He knew Thorin wasn't the kind of person to just go along with anything he was told and would probably believe Crast if he was told about what was happening with their government.

### Drakir do Vrim

Thorin is very alarmed by Drakir. The more he gets to know him, the more alarmed he is. Especially when Drakir kills people and hides their bodies behind dumpsters.

### Eva

The young woman is a member of the Swords of Liberty, but she and Thorin have a sort of understanding. She helps him when he needs her and she doesn't get arrested.

The party continues their mad chase to the portal. Shadows surround them, leeching life from Crast. They battle their way futhur into the cavern. Dex blinds the Shadows with his ribbonweave—unforunately, Crast, too. The water levels are rising as they make their way to the portal.

They hear someone speaking goblin and suddenly, their old pal Acko appears! He's not in the friendliest of moods, as evidenced by him swinging his mace at them. Purple energy flows from his eyes and a pincer monster comes out of him and slams onto Dex. Booyah shoots an arrow through his temple, and Beric burns his body as the run past, giving him the funeral he wanted.

A grotesqu, ethereal form with pincers launches itself from Yorrick Amanatu. Cracks begin forming in the basement walls from the damage it deals, and on top of that, Dex cracks open crate with lanterns in it in the oil causes the basement to catch fire. The party flees up the stairs. Beric tries casting Protection From Evil and Good on him to expel the Quori, but nothing happens. Yorick continues the attack, and Booyah shoots him in the throat.

They flee to the safehouse. Beric offers to keep watch, but goes to seek comfort from Paulo, instead. She gives him none.

In the morning they go to see Lassite. Paulo joins their meeting, and they get paid for destroying the obelisk. Lassite then offers them a new job: to break into Merrix d'Cannith's vault. He's having a gala, at which time a break-in would be plausible. Merrix has some of the stones they're looking for. Beric refuses to be his assassin, and after he leaves Lassite tempts Dex with one more thing: Strent will be there.

## Quotes

"I will not lie to you and say that I will miss Yorrick Amanatu. My eyes will shed no tears for the man that caused my family such heartache for generations. You ask if this is about getting rid of a rival. I say it's about a higher calling. It's about protecting Stormreach from outside influence. From invasion. But where your upbringing shows, Beric, where your binary morality confuses you is that those two things can be exclusive, or should be exclusive. I got rid of a danger to the city. Was he my rival? Yes. Was it wholly about that? No. Is it an added benefit? Absolutely."

"You know, live and let live. Except Amanatu."

—Boranel

Dex and Booyah bargain for Crast's life at the Red Ring. Kirris Sel Shadra sits next to them. Crast emerges in strange new armor and a helmet in the shape of a bear. The crowd chants, *"Shadow Bear, Shadow Bear, Shadow Bear."* Sel Shadra makes them a deal: tell Lassite she knows he's part of the King's Shadows, and she'll give them Crast. They accept.

Beric has just met the real King Boranel and is in quite a shock. Boranel explains that he woke up with a copy of himself standing over him with a knife, and used the King's Shadows to get away. Boranel wants Beric to return to Breland with him. Beric needs to have a conversation with someone first, but does agree to stash the king on the ship.

Dex, Booyah, and Crast deliver their message to Lassite, but before they can get clarification, Lassite is shot with a crossbow bolt. As he dies, he asks Booyah to protect his son—if he's a target, surely Cassian is next.

As soon as Beric leaves the magically sealed room, Erebus appears in a panic. He gives Beric the image of the lich, a portal, and shadows. It's somewhere underground. Beric starts running.

Dex and Booyah meet up with Beric just in time to see him jump off the dock and into the water. They follow him, and come out into an underwater cavern.

Drakir casts Darkness on the giant and they run past it. When they're safely away, he leads the giant down the hallway with a Dancing Lights spell in the form of a person.

They see Senusret walk past but manage to hide, and then follow him down the hallway. He has two fire dogs, which start sniffing the party out, until Drakir distracts them with some jerky. At the end of the hallway is a statue of a great king holding the same sword as Senusret, the Sword of Magma Falls, and lacking a head. They hear a voice asking if they're with "the usurper."

A faint visage a ghost appears where the head on the statue should be, and Beric talks with Erebus to find out if he knows anything about this, startling Drakir, who's never seen this before.

They make their way down more hallways and come to a closed door. Looking underneath, Drakir sees Senusret and two hounds, seemingly waiting for them. They devise a plan of using Dex's Daylight so everyone isn't blinded by the Darkness spell Senusret has around him, and battle ensues.

Kylie's Ledger

Not much is known about the ledger Kylie was trying to get to Siphist Coaldoor. It records Boromar's earnings, and has various markings throughout, but Milo has not had enough time to study it to thouroughly understand it.

It's been out of commision for some time, and red ink circles certain aspects of it. There are bookmarks where inconsistencies have been found. It's more like account records of various organizations within Boromar. Names like the Pier Lads, Ravens, and Delvers are present.

Upon closer inspection, Milo finds that the red marks are on financial logs exclusively of the Black Lamps.

## Kylie's Note

Milo had found a note on the back cover, in Kylie's handwriting, which Erys removed before turning the ledger over to the Boromars:

*Everything has been marked clearly in here. Please share this with those you know need it. My life may be in danger.*

## Description

It's fairly thick, with a brown leather cover, and little bits of parchment sticking out of the edge where things have been bookmarked.

Ep. 82 The Five Runes Chapter One

—Lucan

It's the day after Merrix's party. Strent is gone, and Dex doesn't question what happened.

It's time to meet with Three. They put on disguises and head out. Three uses of Scroll of Truesight to confirm that this time, it's the real Boranel. He shares some bad new about Bala: she's been arrested, and if she's found guilty at her trial next week, she'll be executed.

Outside, Drakir watches a raven who's acting suspiciously. They see it's been given a message when Beric exits and it speaks to him—a message from Lucan, to go back to where "it all began."

Beric and Boranel head back to *Borrowed Time*, while Dex and Booyah drop off the warforged parts with Ikletarn. Dex picks up his dragonscale armor, and Booyah undersells their dragonshards. Ikletarn doesn't quite believe Dex when he tries to tell him about the obelisk taking over people's minds.

Ep. 78 The Brelish Job Chapter Eleven

—Connor

Connor brings shadows with him from the portal into Mabar. Drakir is on the balcony with Haydith. He throws a shadow blade at the lich, and she pulls a longsword and jumps off the balcony. Beric hurts the lich with his Moonbeam, but Erebus takes over once again when he sees Haydith, and he moves his focus to her. Drakir and Dex get Strent out, while Haydith tries to get away from Beric. He traps her, and says he'll ignore Beric's promise of death if she hands over the pact willingly. She does, and they flee the party.

Vennet d'Lyrander

—Vennet[src]

**Vennet** is the previous captain of the *Lightning on Water*.

## History

### The Lost Episode

Vennet captains a House Lyrander airship, *Lightning on Water*, and is working with the King's Swords to capture the now wanted Beric, Dex, and Therudak. He battles with Gerald for control over the other airship with a considerable advantage; his dragonmark is much bigger than Gerald's. Gerald, however, gets struck by lightning and turns his small mark into a Siberys mark and overpowers Vennet. Eventually Beric uses *Lightning Lure* to pull Vennet off the ship.

## Physical Attributes

Vennet has scarring over his body. His hair is long and blond, and his dragonmark goes up one of his arms.

### First Appearance

Ep. 69 The Brelish Job Chapter Two *(First mention)*Ep. 72 The Brelish Job Chapter Five

## Characteristics

### Languages

Common, Draconic

An eccentric gnome with a love of warforged—at least, from a scientific perspective. Getting to his workshop isn't easy, and involves a maze and possible death.

## History

The party finally makes it to Ikletarn after hours in his underground maze. He's delighted at the prospect of breaking into Merrix d'Cannith's vault, and gives them a map in exchange for their promise to bring him warforged parts.

He makes Dex some armor made from a dragon Drakir killed, and tricks Booyah into giving away their five dragonshards—individually worth 2,000 gp each—for 200 gp.

Smith

—Smith[src]

**Smith** is a warforged who has taken on the job of maintining the The Pool Of Onatar's Tears. It's believed that weapons tempered in the water take on a special quality, and Smith ensures that people trying to tamper with or steal the water are stopped.

## Ideology

Smith is strongly against the Lord of Blades, and if allowed will go on long tangents about him. He believes warforged need to integrate themselves into society, not break away. All living things were meant to live together.

## Creature in the Cogs

Hob takes the crew down into the Cogs to investigate a creature that's been attacking and sometimes murdering recruits from Droaam, and Smith is his contact. Smith hasn't seen the creature proper, but has glimpsed it, and says it's as tall as Hob, but wider. He directs them to the housing for Droaam immigrants so they can speak to some of its victims.

The Gatekeepers

The Gatekeepers are a druidic sect in The Eldeen Reaches. Thousands of years ago they were taught their magic by an ancient dragon, Vvaraak. They are dedicated to protecting Eberron from planar attacks.

## Location

Although their home is in The Eldeen Reaches, The Gatekeepers aren't limited to the country and spread themselves throughout Khoravire. Farlan, for example, first meets the party in Mistmarsh selling his brew.

## Appearances

### Into the Gloaming

Beric, Dex, and Therudak venture into The Eldeen Reaches to find answers about the shadows that have been popping up throughout Eberron. Farlan and Shayana follow them for some time, witnessing Dex bitten by a shadow werebear and healing them when they fell unconscious. Eventually Dex smells them with his new senses and Farlan enters the clearing their in, changing from his grizzly form to dwarf. Farlan tries telling them to lay off, they'll find Jacob, but Dex is having none of it and eventually Shayana joins him.

The shifter asks for their help, and after being given permission temporarily magically blinds them to lead them to the heart of the gathering of over a thousand druids in Greenheart, the capital of The Eldeen Reaches.

Terralen greets them and asks for their help. They're trying to perform a ritual, but a piece of the archway that's a vital part of it is missing. Vvaraak, the dragon that taught them their magic, has taken the keystone and hidden it in her hoard.

After they return with the keystone the ritual begins. At least fifty druids have formed a semi-circle in front of the arch, on their knees, head bowed, and hands extended towards the middle, fingers spread. They're chanting in an incomprehensible language, pressumably Druidic. Terralen is overseeing the ritual, and when the party enters eyesight he walks over to take the keystone, then returns to his position.

He holds the wood up and pushes it into place. A brilliant energy comes out from the gap in the archway and grabs the keystone. As soon as it's connecte, a green light starts connecting the druids and their volume increases. Suddenly the green light goes away and the archway is filled with darkness. A figure starts exiting, but then a voice screams, *"No!"* and the figure recoils. Out of the portal, Jacob emerges, fifteen years older than when they last saw him and wearing Gram's locket.

## Known Members

Ep. 75 The Brelish Job Chapter Eight

—Jeff

The four skulls shoot Fireballs at Dex, but he easily dodges. What he doesn't doge is their Magic Missiles.

They can't hear them, but the creature in the glass cage makes it clear they want out, and Beric opens the door for them. The creature seems to suck the magic from the skulls.

Drakir finds a magical lute, along with a very special sword: a Vorpal Sword. Dex gets and Ioun Stone. Beric discovers a gross book with a tongue hanging off of it. Booyah picks up a mysterious deck of cards, which turns out to be a Deck of Illusions.

Through talking with Beric and Dex the spell creature realizes they can shift through solid objects, and leaves through the ceiling.

They get to an empty elevator shaft, which used to lead down in Khyber. Dex uses his rope tying skills to tie a rope to connect them in case they fall. Erebus, who's taken over Beric at that point, simply jumps down the shaft, shoving pitons into the wall as he does.

They find a hidden door and go through it, and eventually find themselves in front of two mind flayers

Wine Inspector

—Wine inspector[src]

A man who worked for the Brelish government and did absolutely nothing wrong, but is killed anyway.

## History

He first appears while the party is making their way back from the Xen'drik jungles, reading a royal proclamation of their arrest. He's scared off and runs away, wetting himself as he does.

A few months later, he's switched career paths and is now a wine inspector for the king. During the trial of Commander Bala, he goes to the winery owned by Victoro Cassalanter to make certain there's been no tampering with the wine. Unfortunately for him, Drakir had already poisoned the wine and was watching the building in case anyone came. Drakir uses Disguise Self to appear as Cassalanter himself, leads the wine inspector behind the building, and kills him when his back is turned. His body is thrown into a dumpster and his documents stolen.

## Family

He lives all alone, with no one to love; his family is all dead.

Ep. 65 The Raven’s Toll Chapter Five

—Boranel

Beric, Booyah, Dex, and Boranel jump out of *Borrowed Time*, featherpacks ready. Despite it being Booyah's first time, Boranel makes a race out of it. They land in Ardev, which is very near Boranel's personal dwelling, Castle Arakhain. Much to Dex's dismay, Beric and Booyah both use spells to disguise their appearance to hide themselves. They're stopped by guards when they enter the town: there's been a murder, and everyone is to remain in one place until they're given permission to leave.

They go to a tavern to talk about their plan of how to get out of town, until Beric realizes they can just have Boranel order them released. Boranel does so, and is given horses, as well.

Following Beric's pings, they make their way to a log house. Booyah disturbs some runes on the door and then uses ethereal step to take a look inside. Three figures look at him, despite the spell making him invisible. A man, woman, and girl walk out of the house. They seem surprised, as if they haven't been able to do that before. They fade away, and just when they party thinks they're gone, the little girl come back to spook Dex—who screams in the middle of their stealth operation.

No longer having the option to be sneaky, Boranel smashes through the door with his hammer. A floating figure is at the top of a great staircase. Her eyes pops open and she screams, dropping everyone but Beric to the ground.

Victoro Cassalanter

—Victoro, after watching Thorin and Drakir bicker for several minutes

## Cassalanter Fine Wines

Victoro runs a winery in Wroat along with his wife. They live in the upstairs appartment along with their children. Victoro had donated a good amount of money to the royal family, and as a reward the trial for Commander Bala would be held in the courtyard outside his business. Drakir and Thorin pay him a visit, pretending to be wine inspector's for the king. Instead, unbeknownst to Victoro, they poison it.
