Homebrew rules

■■■ LOST IN ISOLATION ■■■ In the Mist. No magic, such as Plane Shift or Teleport, can transport a creature beyond the borders without being shepherded by a Stranger. Crooked Grasp. Physical and magical travel out is made impossible by ancient wards. When a creature tries to exit, it gets lost and ends up being teleported to a forest within the valley. Cut Off. Any attempts to communicate magically with creatures outside automatically fail. ■■■ FEAR OF THE DARK ■■■ All Must Sleep. Characters who don’t need to sleep during Long Rests in other realms must sleep to stave off Exhaustion, though they can still resist magic that might put them to sleep, if able. Creeping Dark. Characters who benefit from Darkvision find this trait suppressed, though magic that grants Darkvision such as from a spell or magic item still functions. This does not affect monsters or NPCs. ■■■ CHOOSE YOUR THREAD: FATEWEAVING ■■■ When creating your character you will choose one of thirteen Threads of Fate that will be presented to you upon joining. This is your own narrative story arc that will additionally be personalized into your own character's backstory. ■■■ TIME IN A STRANGE PLACE ■■■ As a realm of eternal night, an unusual time cycle is an essential part of the setting’s atmosphere. While a sun never rises above the horizon, the amount of light and the color of the sky change throughout each night, from the purple of Twilight Hour, through the orange glow Dusk Hour, to the blues of Nightfall Hour and Evening Hour, and finally the pitch black of Midnight Hour and Witching Hour. *NOTE: A hand-out visual game aid will be given out*
