Avandra

**Avandra, the Changebringer** is also known as "She Who Makes the Path," and champions freedom, travel, trade, and adventure across the lands. Her will heralds open frontiers, and her call beckons her followers to discover that which awaits them beyond the known. There are few urban temples dedicated to the Change Bringer, but her shrines are often found along well-traveled roads and off the beaten path. Her worship is common among merchants, free spirits, and adventurers, and tavern cheers celebrate her as a bringer of luck and fortune.

Avandra calls no domain in the planes her residence, instead eternally wandering through the Outer Planes where serenity can be found, distantly watching over the potential of mortals.

***Depiction***. The Change Bringer is often depicted as a young woman of dark complexion and long, light brown hair that cascades to form the road left behind her. Most art shows her in constant motion, ever leading into the unknown.

***Holy Day***. Avandra's holy day, called New Dawn, takes place on the first day of the first month, when the old years gives way to the new. On the Menagerie Coast, people celebrate by having a feast on the shore are dusk to watch the sunset. They feast and discuss their hopes for the new year until the sun rises.

### Commandments of Avandra

* Luck favors the bold. Your fate is your own to grasp, and to do so is to have the Change Bringer behind you.
* Change is inevitable. The righteous can ensure that such change is for the better.
* Rise against tyranny. Fight for the freedom of yourself and others when you can, and inspire others to fight when you cannot.

Ariet Za

**Ariet "Ari" Za** – formerly known as **[Let's Find Out Together]** – is a Barn Owl Aarakocra Alchemist Artificer played by Capwithoutacountry.

## Backstory

Ariet grew up in the bustling trade city of Tarlin in the South of Karsthall.

He was always fascinated by the constant comings and goings of the people in the market square. He would watch the shoppers and the venders come and go, always changing. The vendors who managed to actually own shops, and not just the carts that filled the square, would constantly change due to the exorbitant cost of renting those spaces. Those that managed to stay were seen as pillars of town: those included a magic shop, a smith, a leather worker, and the greatest alchemist known to the area, a Dragonborn man named Osliegh Rien.

Ariet was enthralled by the wonderful creations Osliegh crafted. When he old enough, he crossed his fingers and took a chance: He asked Osliegh to take him on as his apprentice. He was stunned when the man agreed. Ariet was a quick study, and it took very little time for him to move from apprentice to journeyman. He continued to spend much of his time in the market square during the years of his study, and it was there he met Ro.

She seemed almost lost in her approach the world, and the two became fast friends. They had the full run of the city whenever Ariet wasn't working, and he showed her all of the most interesting places and people. All the while, he worked toward his Mastery, and after several years of hard work, Osleigh told him that to receive his true Mastery, he must set out to collect certain special ingredients with their own magical properties. He must travel the world:

1. To Wentri to collect the Dust of a Fairy
2. To The Great Storm to collect its Thunderous Rain
3. To the Trensol Wood to collect the claw of a Chimeara
4. To the heart of Sairen to collect the Sand of Kwal
5. To the Dead Wood to collect the silk of a Deep spider

When he returns, he will use the components to brew a secret potion known to only the greatest of Alchemists. Accompanied by Ro, he set out on his journey, hiring the Dragonborn Barbarian Intiqua Kor to provide security in the treacherous places they were headed. They traveled for several months, collecting the first two ingredients on the list before heading to retrieve the third.

When they reached the Trensol Wood, they found it next to possible to navigate. There they found Muraurk, a Half-Orc Cruid who after some good food and conversation led them to the Tomb of the last Chimera.
Codicil of White

***The Codicil of White*** is a tall, thin volume bound in white ermine fur over seasoned boards of white pine and sealed with a clasp and lock of tarnished silver. The book is cold to the touch, and the fur is worn about the edges from use. The twenty-seven pages within are of vellum painted with silver gilt on the outer edges. The whole is sewn to a leather binding with strips of sinews, making it quite durable.

A creature with the Codicil in its possession has resistance to cold damage.

The Codicil was written by followers of Auril as a primer on her worship. The first page is a title page with the snowflake symbol of Auril on it. The remaining pages describe various priestly rituals and ceremonies in chilling detail. Nestled among these descripts is a spell that wizards can learn, and a poem called "Rime of the Frostmaiden":

*We bow to She who wears the crown*
*Let the world shiver with dread*
*Clad in winter's whitest gown*
*Her snow enshrouds the dead*
*Her fury sheds but frozen tears*
*as gray clouds issue forth*
*Her wind across the wasteland shears*
*bringing blizzards from the north*
*ice-kissed flowers caught mid-bloom,*
*beauty kept in all its grace*
*summer's gone to its silent tomb*
*stilling in Her cold embrace*
*All the world in winter's white*
*sheathed in sleet and ice*
*set upon never-ending night*
*She conjures paradise*
*Behold Her everlasting rime*
*see how it covers all*
*weep not for those She traps in time*
*behind her glacial wall*
*Sovereign of summers lost*
*general of winter's war*
*long live the queen of cold and frost*
*May she reign forevermore.*
The poem is an incantation, the power of which can be used to banish Auril back to her original plane of existence.

The book was retrieved from a vault below Grimskalle on the Island of Solstice by the party of Addison, Lucine, Armamore, and Dharwyn, and kept by Snowreaper after the party successfully banished Auril beyond the Divine Gate.

Animositous Behavior

"**Animositous Behavior**" is a TikTok video posted by Capwithoutacountry on 15 August 2023, and the twentieth-third installment of *The ReCap*.

## Transcript

"The twenty-second session of the Wildemount campaign known as *Mountain of Mystery* is officially upon us, airing tonight at 9:00PM Eastern Time, 8:00 o'clock Central; I will be streaming my side of that session here in order to direct viewers over to TanisJr93’s channel on The Purple App, and after more than a year of playing Dungeons & Dragons, I will finally achieve peak geekdom, because for the very first time, I will in fact be playing in my mom’s basement. Having teleported to the town of Trostenwald and convened at The Bar Barian with the parents of several of our party members, our Druid apologized to our Mammothari for her animositous behavior toward him in Berleben, and our Sorcerer examined our Rogue’s aura, discovering what appeared to be not one but two souls in an equally-balanced conflict within the man’s mind. Shortly after, the parents experienced a simultaneous vision courtesy of the Stormlord, after which our Tabaxi’s mother arrived and spoke privately with our Genasi's father about his manipulation of certain memories in a conversation that was nevertheless overheard by our Tiefling. The Bard then revealed to both parties that fully destroying the multiversal monstrosity will require us to locate several previously-unknown fragments of the entity’s essence in the form of unnatural knots of nothingness, one of which we had already recovered from the lair of the ebony dragon, and that our Druid will likely be the only one among us capable of containing the shards of the being within her own unconventional mind long enough for them to be destroyed, possibly resulting in her death as well. The five parents then underwent a drastic, exhausting ritual that transferred the totality of their combined powers into a Celestial sphere designed to maintain the magical wards concealing the locations of the infused dragon eggs from the zealous Cult of the Great One that also seeks them..."

Crimson Criminals

"**Crimson Criminals**" is a TikTok video posted by Capwithoutacountry on 8 September 2023.

## Transcript

"The fourth session of the Lost Mine of Phandelver campaign is officially upon us, airing tonight at 9:00PM Eastern time, 8:00 o’clock Central, and I will be streaming my side of that session here in order to direct viewers over to TanisJr93’s channel on The Purple App. Having learned of the gang of ruffians tormenting the town of Phandalin, the party ventured to the Sleeping Giant Tap House where we encountered more than a dozen less-than-welcoming Redbrands, and the interaction escalated almost immediately into a brutal brawl with little more than a subtle string of syllables. Defeating the delinquents, we managed to capture the captain of the faction and attempted to interrogate him, though he refused to reveal the rest of the Redbrands' whereabouts and was subsequently reunited with his accomplices by our Dark Elf Wizard. We then shared a drink with the bartender, who we bribed to forget that we had ever visited the pub at all, after which we collected the gang’s weaponry and delivered it to the proprietor of the Lionshield Coster, who compensated us generously. Our Druid then successfully followed the trail of a lone ruffian who had fled the altercation and retreated eastward to the remains of Tresendar Manor, an abandoned estate perched on a hilltop along the edge of town. Following the fugitive’s footfalls, we found a well-worn entrance leading to a basement below the house, after which the party withdrew to the Stonehill Inn to strategize and recuperate before confronting this crew of crimson criminals..."
An Audacious Plan

## Transcript

"The twenty-sixth session of the Wildemount campaign known as *Mountain of Mystery* is officially upon us, airing tonight at 9:00PM Eastern Time, 8:00 o’clock Central, and I will be streaming my side of that session here in order to direct viewers over to TanisJr93’s channel on The Purple App. Having teleported to a stretch of the Pearlbow Wilderness at the foot of the Dunrock Mountains, the party proceeded northward for several hours to reach the ominous Vergesson Sanatorium, where our Zemnian ally remained beyond the boundaries of the grounds while our group executed an audacious plan: our Druid cast *Air Bubble* on five members of the party to allow us to hide inside our Fighter’s Bag of Holding, and the Tiefling cast *Invisibility* on our Monk to allow him to carry the satchel unseen as he clandestinely infiltrated the asylum, summoning our Rogue to deftly pick the occasional locks he encountered until he reached the high-security cellblock beneath the complex. We managed to extricate our Druid’s father and the Gentleman’s agent before being discovered by Prime Arbiter Syndock Truscan, who offered to trade our Cleric’s mother in exchange for our Druid, at which point our Rogue attacked and Truscan promptly vanished. Our Cleric’s mother then magically transformed into a creature of eldritch shadow, but the group refused to attack and miraculously pacified her instead, at which point an anti-magic field activated, dispelling our incantations and rendering our Bag of Holding inert; the room locked and began filling with poisonous gas, but the team broke through a pair of doors to escape the laboratory, retreating back into the restored Bag of Holding as a shriek rang out, the prison cells opened, and the voice of Syndock Truscan taunted them: 'Don't think getting away is going to be *that* easy.'"

"The second session of the Lost Mine of Phandelver campaign is officially upon us, airing tonight at 9:00PM Eastern time, 8:00 o’clock Central, and I will be streaming my side of that session here in order to direct viewers over to TanisJr93’s channel on The Purple App. Three members of the Lords’ Alliance – retired knight Syldar Hallwinter, Human Wizard Oswald Fireshield, and Human Fighter Volrik the Grey – were hired by Gundrun Rockseeker to provide protection for a piece of mining equipment being transported to the town of Phandalin. Assembling a team that included the Wood Elf Druid Róisín Meadowlark, the Reborn Human Bard Samael Santara, and the adaptable Adventurer Anaslyn Autumn, the party headed southward, waking one morning to find that the former Sea Elf Paladin was now mysteriously a High Elf Barbarian. Our escorts traveled ahead on the fourth morning to prepare for our arrival, and we were subsequently ambushed along the Triboar Trail by a group of goblins, who we quickly defeated; following a suspicious path from the ambush site, we made our way to a cavern where we discovered another platoon of goblins under the command of the bugbear Klarg. After freeing several maltreated wolves and surviving an attempt to flush the tunnel, we located one of our severely-injured escorts and defeated the half-dozen goblins holding him captive, after which we rested shortly to recuperate before preparing to confront the remaining forces..."

## Transcript

"The thirtieth-first session of the Wildemount campaign known as *Mountain of Mystery* is officially upon us, airing tonight at 9:00PM Eastern Time, 8:00 o’clock Central, and I will be streaming my side of that session here in order to direct viewers over to TanisJr93’s channel on The Purple App. Having circumvented the disassembled barricade of a bandit encampment, the Super High Intensity Team continued through the Pearlbow Wilderness, and as darkness descended, they were suddenly struck with the unsettling sensation of falling onto the ground they were already standing on. Discovering their Tabaxi Sorcerer mysteriously missing and a wall of nothingness behind them, the group proceeded onward to reach the Western Winery, a location their children would infiltrate nearly a quarter-century later. Inspecting the foyer, they were attacked by several shadows, and the party destroyed most of them before a Kobold wizard tumbled out of a patch of darkness; as he explained that the group was trapped within a dislocated moment of a future timeline that never occurred, an explosion shook the building, and the party descended into the basement, discovering the body of a young Kenku wearing a red scarf; more shadows merged with the corpse, transforming it into an entity that the group fought desperately against as they began to vanish, and the Bard resisted until he remained alone, finally enabling the being to communicate with him and learning that it needed to send them back to the Material Plane before the dislocated moment of time was consumed. He also learned that something was tampering with the fabric of his own world, after which he allowed himself to be plane-shifted, regaining consciousness in a field the next morning along with the rest of his group. Discovering that their Tabaxi Sorcerer was still missing, the party left the Winery and continued toward the capital city..."

Ghaspard Lebeau

**Ghaspard Lebeau** was a Shadar-Kai Arcane Archer, and a companion of Shayne Feywilder.

## Falling Stars

While passing through the city of Calimport in the country of Calisham, Ghaspard was assaulted by a band of brigands and nearly beaten to death before the intervention of a Changeling who singlehandedly cut down the entire group with a blade of smoking shadow.

The Changeling then helped Ghaspard back to an inn, where the Shadow Elf spent several days healing; the Changeling revealed that his name was Shayne, who admitted that he'd helped the Shadar-Kai because someone had once helped him, though he still didn’t know who or why, and if Shayne couldn’t pay that back, he felt that he should pay it forward. Shayne explained the unknown origins of his abilities, and Ghaspard revealed that he was originally from the Shadowfell; if Shayne wanted to learn the identity of his mysterious patron, they might be able to ask the Raven Queen. Intrigued by the proposition but not yet feeling ready for such an undertaking, Shayne suggested leaving the city before the group of dead brigands was traced back to them.

They wound up traveling together for two years, during which Ghaspard taught Shayne how to speak Netherese, the dead language of the Shadar-Kai, and Shayne gave a Ring of Shooting Stars to Ghaspard as a “birthday” gift. Over time, the two also fell into an intimate physical relationship, with Shayne adopting a particular female form for varying amounts of time, and the pair continued adventuring together across the region around the Sea of Falling Stars. They eventually encountered an escaped slave in the city of Furthinghome and helped him to rescue his family from Nethjet, and subsequently became involved in the opposition to the slave trade in Thay, working to free hundreds of captives who eventually banded together to retake the city of Nethjet. Ghaspard was gifted a longbow made of Thayan blackwood that he used to fire Shadow Arrows.

Two years after meeting, the pair finally resolved to travel to the Shadowfell, and began a long and arduous journey through the Underdark to reach a shadow crossing that would allow them access to Ghaspard’s home demiplane. Along the way, however, they were drawn into a conflict between the Duergar who worshipped Deep Duerra and the Drow who worshipped the Queen of the Demonweb Pits. Ghaspard and Shayne quickly found themselves in the midst of hostilities they were unprepared for, and in a vicious confrontation between the two warring cultures, Ghaspard was killed and his body was teleported away by Drow before Shayne could reach him.

Shayne was then unwillingly banished back to the surface of the Material Plane, returning to the island of Chult.

* **Roll Thistlebeef** (*Archradish*) – Gnome Artificer

## Summary

A team of recent graduates of the Hero Academy including Dandolph, Pyrocine, Damian, Gormley, Etta, and Roll are assigned to conduct their first mission under the supervision of veteran hero Aslam; the group ventures into downtown Berleben during a rash of chaotic events to investigate an unexpected traffic blockage, encountering a well-dressed Elven man whose carriage has been delayed. He demands that the team remove the obstruction, which Dandolph, Gormley, and Damian realize was intentionally positioned in the roadway; Pyrocine, meanwhile, spots the tracks of four humanoids and horses leading away into an alley toward the south. Gormley and Aslam move the carts blocking the road, accidentally jostling a load of logs that slightly injure the Paladin, and the Elven man's carriage proceeds along the road as he continues to complain.

Leading the team along the alleyway, Pyrocine narrowly avoids being shot by a crossbow bolt, and Gormley tackles the shooter as Etta puts her cigarette out on the man's neck; Roll demands to know why the man attacked the team and Etta asks why the roadway was blocked, and the man eventually confesses that he was paid to create a distraction while another group attempts to rob a bank in town. Damian recalls that while the chaos throughout the city began just a few hours before, none of it is occurring near the bank, which is just three blocks from the team's current location; Aslam secures the shooter before the group hurries around the corner and down the street toward the bank, where Dandolph notices that the doors are shut, but the locks are broken open.

Aslam warns the group that the situation will likely be very dangerous, then proceeds into the building where the team finds a dozen bandits holding half-a-dozen hostages.

Graeme Schellenrock

**Graham Schellenrock** is a Changeling College of Whispers Bard, the husband of Dawn Bloodwood, and the father of Gray.

While living in Focksford, he encountered Aoife Quinn and Leander Brightwise at The Starry Knight, and several tendays later accompanied Aoife to Bailesmoore, where they worked with Tiefling Fighter Nephrus Ramsey, Darkling Elder Jeph Ben Khadra, and Changeling Dawn Bloodwood. Leander visited Bailesmoore a few months after that, and Aoife left with him to travel to the town of Sanctuary, while Graham, Jeph, and Dawn traveled to the town of Jannisport; Jeph and Dawn eventually left to complete a mission in the neighboring country of Storvak, after which Aoife visited Jannisport and met back up with Graham.

Some time later, the two were approached by a small metallic hummingbird that Aoife recognized as Leander's Steel Defender; Graham cast *Sending* to telepathically contact Leander, and the Artificer reached town by nightfall. The three left town the next morning to return to the Valley of the Darkbeast, but were waylaid on the by a group of six worg-riding goblin raiders who attempted to rob them. They instead killed five of the six attackers and one of the worgs before the last raider fled, and Graham instructed the remaining worgs in Ghukliak to leave. One of the worgs responds by relieving itself on the dead body of its former rider, and the four worgs dash into the forest.

Graham, Aoife, and Leander then rejoined the Aasimar Samurai Masa Mune, the Minotaur Barbarian Duulan, the Changeling Cleric Melanalin, and the Aarakocras Ryn and Sicarr, and learned about the blue dragon Verighol. Following the battle against the dragon, Graham recovered two of the dragon's teeth and returned to Bailesmoore to have them crafted into Dragonstooth Daggers. While in the city, he learned of a prophecy regarding a mortal that would eventually succeed in completing the Rite of Ascension, attaining true godhood and destroying the world of Telluria in the process. Details of the prophecy led him to believe that his own child might be a potential candidate
