The Land of Xaggopia

Player Races

Goblinoids

The goblinoids is an umbrella term for the goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears respectively. Each of which fill out their own roles in their caste-based society. The goblinoids are considered the most recent of the more powerful races, and inhabit the now dead forests and grasslands their elvish cousins once laid claim to.

Horned Goblins

Horned goblins were goblins bred in specific areas by their lords to become taller and stouter in stature. Their large horn, which sprouts from their nose, is a simple add-on to their immense strength. Horned goblins are usually medium, and are used mainly in mines to build tunnels.

• Tough Body. Due to your incredibly tough body, you have resistance to piercing damage.
• Languages. Along with common and goblin, you also speak terran.

Bugbear Names

It is never explained how bugbears name their children. The guess most species take on this is they simply combine two or more sounds to make their child's name.

Bugbear Names: Ritrar, Gorgamkk, Vogank, Chruttork, Thazith, Targimkk, Thavrin, Ratan, Ghirdinn, Chravrark

• Fey Ancestry. You have advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the charmed condition on yourself.
• Subraces. There are two subraces of bugbears, the ami bugbears and the han bugbears.

Ami Bugbears

Ami bugbears are the bugbears of the north. They are the bigger, more well known bugbears. These ones usually tend to be used as footsoldiers for the nobilities wars.

• Powerful Build. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.
• Long-Limbed. When you make a melee attack on your turn, your reach for it is 5 feet greater than normal.

Han Bugbears

The han bugbears are the bugbears of the south. They are smaller in stature than regular bugbears, but much sneakier and can hide more easily. These bugbears tend to get lumped into the dregg caste, and so have lived under the yoke of slavery for a long time.

• Sneaky.
• Fury of the Small. When you damage a creature with an attack or a spell and the creature's size is larger than yours, you can cause the attack or spell to deal extra damage to the creature. The extra damage equals your proficiency bonus. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all expended uses when you finish a long rest, and you can use it no more than once per turn.

Hobgoblin Names

Hobgoblin names are guttural and melodic, especially when compared to their goblin cousins. They take on titles past their actual names to make themselves feel grander then they actually are.

You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Giant-Kin

The giant-kin of Xaggopia are by far the most successful in their attempts to create civilization. They have spread out across the world, taking over the old castles and cities of men. This being said, the giant-kin are also the most divided, they are just as likely to war with a neighboring city of their own race as they are with goblinoids and orcs.

Ogres

Over their years of change, Ogre's have grown more cunning and learned how valuable their power in battle is. As such, they have taken to forming mercenary bands that are hired by orcs, goblinoids, gnolls, and other races to fight in their wars. Ogres have also learned to craft siege weapons which they hold and use during battle.

Trolls

Trolls are the most varied of the giant-kin, and the least abundant. Trolls have changed to not require as much food over the years, and as such their regenerative abilities have lessened. It's hard to actually pinpoint any specific trait all trolls have in common, aside from size and regeneration.

Troll Traits

Your troll character has the following traits.

• Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 2 and one score of your choice except Constitution increases by 1.
• Languages. You speak common and giant

• Mutation. You have a strange mutation that gives you resistance or immunity to a damage type or condition. You can choose or roll for one on the mutations table.
• Acid and Flame. You have a vulnerability to fire and acid damage, making it do an extra d4 in damage to you on a successful hit.

Ettins

The ettins of Xaggopia were one of the few races to capitulate to the demons, and chose to fight alongside them. To be more accurate, they chose to fight alongside the demon lord Demogorgon, who they identify with due to them sharing the trait of dual personalities. Nowadays, most ettins are staunch followers of the demon lord, and worship him like a god.

Fomorians

Fomorians are the fey touched giant-kin of the underdark. They are often hideous and highly deformed. Fomorians are grand mages and highly intelligent scholars, who often form the only schools and universities of magic in Xaggopia. This being said, they also hate the fey, and will often torture smaller fey creatures who make fun of them.

Fomorian Traits

Your formorian character has the following traits.

• Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 2 and your Strength score increases by 1.
• Languages. You speak common, undercommon, and giant.

• Fey Speech. You have proficiency in the Persuasion and Deception skills when speaking to a fey creature.
• Keen Senses. You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

Cyclopes

Cyclopes are a race of 1 eyed giant-kin, who tend to focus more on agriculture than the rest of their cousins. They are sometimes called the gentle giants due to their gentle natures and aversion to conflict. Most cyclopes tend to be kinder and more understanding than their kin, but also hold an instinct to protect what is theirs with tooth and nail.

The Lesser Powers

The lesser powers of the world are the races that have grown to hold smaller swaths of territory or create city-states. The three lesser powers of the world are the demon worshiping gnoll tribes, the bullywug marshes, and the yuan-ti city state.

Gnolls

The gnoll tribes are hundreds of small gnoll family groups sandwiched between the lands of the goblinoids and the orcs, and they are at war with both of them. The gnolls worship their creator, the demon lord Yeenoghu, and have grown in cunning and cruelty over the long years.

Bullywugs

The bullywugs make their home in the chaos infested marshlands of the north, which they hold and keep safe from their stronger neighbors. Bullywugs are paranoid and jealous creatures, and so cannot make actual kingdoms like the orcs and goblinoids.

Mutations and adaptations

Due to spending years within the chaotic marshes, the bullywugs have been infused with said energy and there now exists 3 different species of bullywugs, each representing a different aspect of chaos. The three subraces of bullywugs are known as bullytoads, bullyfrogs, and bullynewts.

Yuan-ti

The Yuan-ti are serpentine people who were once related to humans. The yuan-ti worship demons, and so were one of the first races to fight alongside them in the fiendish wars. After the fall of the demons and the retreat of the devils, the yuan-ti have finally come back together and made their new city state inside of an oasis within the wastes.

Yuan-ti traits

Your yuan-ti character has the following traits.

• Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 2 and your Intelligence score increases by 1.
• Languages. You can speak common, abyssal, and draconic.
• Speed. Your base walking speed is 30ft.
• Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You discern colors in that darkness only as shades of gray.
• Magic Resistance. You have advantage on saving throws against spells.
• Poison Resilience. You have advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the poisoned condition on yourself. You also have resistance to poison damage.
• Serpentine Spellcasting. You know the poison spray cantrip. You can cast animal friendship an unlimited number of times with this trait, but you can target only snakes with it. Starting at 3rd level, you can also cast suggestion with this trait. Once you cast it, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast it using any spell slots you have of 2nd level or higher. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).

Nomad Races

The nomad races are those races who wander the world, not having settlements of their own to call home. They may live in the territory of other kingdoms, but they have not yet claimed their own lands. The nomad races of Xaggopia are the kobolds, thri-kreen, locathah, aarakocra, sahuagin, lizardfolk, and tabaxi.

Kobolds

Kobolds are small draconic humanoids that are said to have first originated in the underdark. Nowadays, kobolds wander the orcish mountains and the wastes of Xaggopia. They tend to be tinkerers, hired on by many nations to build machines they never could. The kobolds also find themselves often allying with the dragons, to which there are fairly little of left.

Thri-Kreen

Thri-Kreen are insectoid creatures that stand between 5 and 6 feet tall. They sport two pairs of arms, stone crushing mandibles, and large black eyes. The Thri-Kreen are the most peaceful of the current races, and tend to live in the savannas of the south east of Xaggopia. They prefer to stay far away from other civilizations, and don't like to be bothered.

Locathah

The locathah are a race of fish people that inhabit the waters of Xaggopia. The locathah had little to no hand in the wars of the surface, as they were busy dealing with the newly spawned krakens coming from the deep. They soon found an answer for these threats in Dagon, who helped them in return for their worship.

Aarakocra

The Aarakocra of the world made a choice years back, one that split their race forever more. During the fiendish wars they were given a chance at greatness by siding with the demon lord Pazuzu, and filling his ranks as warriors. This split the avian people, eventually leading to the racial divide between them now. Those that sided with Pazuzu retained their wings and lighter bodies. The ones that didn't however, found themselves staying closer to the ground and eventually finding no use in their wings. They were eventually approached by Ogremoch, prince of elemental evil earth. He offered to change them, make them stronger on the ground, in exchange for their wings. They accepted, and since then the two races of Aarakocra have waged war on each other, deeming each other as evil for their patron.

Sahuagin

The sahuagin are a race of fish-like people closely related to sharks. The sahuagin are unwilling followers of Dagon, who takes on the appearance of their shark god to manipulate them. The sahuagin often find themselves living in the deep or near beaches, but are progressively being pushed on land by krakens and aboleths.

Lizardfolk

The lizardfolk survived through the war by killing demon and devil alike, making both wary to go near them. They keep their tribalistic and nomadic lifestyle from the before times, tending to now live in the bullywug marshes and the grasslands just south of the yuan-ti river. Many have taken to worshiping Sess'innek, the demon lord who seeks to rule over lizardfolk, as he helped defend them against the hoards of demons and the weapons of devils.

Tabaxi

The tabaxi survived the fiendish wars by fleeing to the far flung edges of the land, and now live solitary nomadic lives akin to their lives before the fiendish wars. They are welcomed in most places as friends, usually because they are bards, storytellers, or other types of artists. Tabaxi tend to have an obsession with one thing or another, and most today hold obsessions for artifacts lost during the fiendish wars. Artifacts like the Wand of Orcus, Yeenoghu's flail, Graz'zt sword, and Kostchtchie's warhammer.

Powers of the Underdark

The underdark was not saved from the fiendish wars, and its races were scattered and mostly demolished as well. Now three major powers have grown to take over the underdark, those being the holy empire of the troglodytes, the grand chiefdom of the minotaurs, and the largest illithid colony to have ever existed.

Troglodytes

The troglodytes are a somewhat reptilian type of humanoid that lives underground. They have large mouths and long claws, good for hunting. They seem to brawl often with illithids for slaves and food, and will rarely go above ground to brawl with their enemy the goblinoids.

Minotaurs

The minotaurs are a vicious race of bovine humanoids, tracing their lineage all the way back to their demonic lord Baphomet. Minotaurs are war-mongers, who frequently dig tunnels up to send out raiding parties on the cultures above.

Illithids

The Illithids are a race of aberrations that have octopoid heads, and require the brains of other creatures as sustenance. Illithids are completely alien to the other races, both in their culture and society, and their reluctance to make any lasting alliances with any other power in the world.

The Slave Races

These are the remnants of the civil races, each of which survived through various means. Some submitted to the demons, and others simply fended them off, it doesn't matter which it was now. The slave races include the drow, duergar, and svirfneblin.

Drow

The drow were one of the first races to submit to the demon incursion. They bowed before them, many of the drow joining the demonic armies as mages. The drow now are hunted by the orcs, goblinoids, and giants for their magical talents, which the three powers find useful. There are, however, smaller settlements within the underdark where followers of Graz'zt, Lolth, and other demon lords have held out against the raiders. Most drow either follow their old patron in Lolth or worship demon lords such as Graz'zt, Kostchitche, or Pazuzu.

Duergar

The duergar were the toughest and most prepared of the races. They fended off the demons that came to their doorstep, and even sent the weaker demon lord Obox-Ob back to his layer of the abyss. When the devils appeared in the realm, the duergar helped them fight back the demons, and devils such as Zariel, Bael, and Moloch would be worshipped by them in later years. Now however, the powers like the troglodytes, minotaurs, goblinoids, and bullywugs seek out duergar slaves to work as artisans, weapon smiths, and stone workers. The duergar under this slavery pray to the archdevil Zariel, in hopes she may free them as she did when she drove off the demons.

Svirfneblin

The deep gnomes, or svirfneblin, survived through hiding in the smallest crevices of the underdark, staying away from devil and demon alike. They're now hunted down by the other races to be used for mining, due to their ability to easily find gems and control earth elementals.

Races of little note

Certain races can be used in this world, and all will be listed here, but have little to no noteworthiness withing Xaggopia. These races are then separated into different categories. There is the fey, the shadowfell, and the wyrdborns. The fey hail from the feywild, and have had no part in any of the last 2,000 years. The same can be said of the shadowfell, who hail from their namesake. The wyrdborns are those born of the current races that hail from extraplanar, primordial, or other such magical lineage. The wyrdborns also include people from these races that have been changed in someway, making them something new.

The Factions of Xaggopia

The Kings Confederation

The kings confederation is a group of kings and lords across Xaggopia that have formed an alliance against any outside dangers. The kings confederation is made up of 10 nobles from the goblinoid lands, orc mountains, bullywug marshes, giant-kin lands, troglodyte empire, and an ambassador from the yuan-ti city state. The confederation stands for law and order at its fullest, hating the idea of corruption and seeking to destroy it. This said, they also care very little about good and evil, only that laws be made and followed in unlawful lands.

The Followers of the Hidden Lord

The followers of the hidden lord are duergar, orcs, goblins, kobolds, and other such races that sided with the infernal. They are a system based on rank, in which one moves up based on their actions and devotion to the group. The leader of the followers is known as "The Hidden Lord". In all actuality, the "Hidden Lord" is the archdevil Moloch, amassing an army to try and take over the 9 hells once more. The followers wish to spread evil and mayhem, and attempt to try and summon demon lords to either bring the devils back to Xaggopia or let their master slay the creature to gain more fame and followers for him.

Orcish Council

Made up of the most powerful kings in the high orcish mountains, the council comes together every 3 years to discuss matters of economy, alliances, war, and help with one another. There are 8 seats in the council, and all kingdoms in the council are bound by law under penalty of war to help one another in crisis.

The League of Undead

The league of undead are ex-followers of the demon prince Orcus. Their ranks are made up of intelligent vampires, zombies, ghouls, ghasts, and at the very top are the liches. At the writing of this book, only 5 of the original 19 liches from the founding days are still around. Many necromancers and warlocks will also be found in the league, most striving to one day become liches themselves.

The Resistance

The resistance is a faction that is made up of escaped slaves, mainly drow, duergar, and svirfneblin. This faction seeks to bring forth the empires of the civilized races. The resistance is in direct confrontation with factions like the kings confederation and the orcish council. The resistance was first founded by the last human, a mage named Vafeus the wise. Nowadays he leads the resistance from his hidden stronghold.

The Cult of Dagon

The cult of Dagon is a demonic cult that formed around the demon lord Dagon. The cult is made up of mainly drow, renegade goblins, and locathah. The cult mainly makes money through piracy on the shores of Xaggopia. The cult tames aquatic monsters to use in battle, and has frequent confrontations with the followers of the hidden lord.

The Sellswords

The Sellswords is a mercenary guild which sends its members to work for warlords and armies that pay the highest. This guild is mainly made up of ogres, but will accept all races from renegade illithids to escaped drow slaves. The Sellswords are led by an ogre who is said to be as large as a hill-giant. Tales of this ogre are vast and inaccurate, but all agree he is not one to be trifled with.

The Hob-Kings

The Hob-Kings are a exclusive group of Hobgoblin and Bugbear nobles that all share defense agreements with one another. These nobels are also the most powerful goblinoid leaders, and tend to decide the fates of thousands of their lessers.

Important NPCs

Sregrak, the traitor

Sregrak (They/Them Lawful Evil Illithilich) is a more recent addition to the league. Once an ulathrid who worked in the illithid colony, he betrayed his elder brain and began studying arcane secrets. Near the end of his life he chose lichdom over death, and now pursues as much ancient knowledge as possible with the help of his alhoon subordinates. It is said the secrets of lichdom were passed to him by Grobdus, and that he is now the krakens right hand in the league. Early on, he also earned the hatred of Averac after besting him in a wizard duel by using his psionics. It is still debated weather or not psionics count as a magic, and so his win has stayed contested for quite some time. Sregrak acts as a patron of renegade illithids, who may choose to follow him to study arcane secrets or escape the tyranny of the elder brain. He also enlists the help of ghosts, banshees, and other spirits to gather and steal information from others.

Xagraxis, he of many eyes

Xagraxis (He/Him Neutral Evil Death Tyrant) is most likely the most open member of the lich lords. While the others find a place to hide, he openly travels the land with his group of beholder zombies. He seeks power over secrets and treasures, and tries to gather allies outside of the league. Xagraxis is also known as the ghoul king, as he raises hundreds of the cannibals for his allies to use in battle. Xagraxis and Borovim are close friends, and both hate the kraken lich Grobdus who is objectively more powerful than them. He currently conspires to raise an army of orcs, goblinoids, and other creatures to appose Grobdus.

Grobdus, lord of the dead deep

Grobdus (They/Them Neutral Evil Lich Kraken) is a kraken who turned to lichdom after the demon lord Dagon turned on the krakens. To escape death, he fled to the side of Orcus who gifted him lichdom in exchange for spreading his influence. Grobdus joined the league and quickly rose to the top, being the uncontested most powerful lich lord. He is also known as the lord of the deep dead, and hold dominion upon all aquatic undead creatures. He dislikes the archlich Averac, and hires groups of adventurers to try and storm his tomb frequently. He is also completely aware of Xagraxis and Borovim's attempts to unseat him, and does nothing about it because he welcomes the challenge it will bring.

The Hidden Lords Followers

The followers of the hidden lord are led by 2 people, both of which have turned into tieflings by their lord as a blessing. The leaders here are the high-priest Moska and the archbishop Wellyss. Moska is seen as the voice of the hidden lord and Wellyss is seen as his hand. These two are the only followers that know the hidden lord is actually the archdevil Moloch.

The Orcish Council of 8

The council of 8 are the most powerful orc kings in the world who come together to discuss major decisions for the orcish mountains. The 8 individuals who currently sit in the council are Grumush, orcish high king, Varmir, the metal cataclysm, Warmik, the beast-tamer, Qualicks, demonic lord of orcs, Shishmer, the king below, Urank, the slaver, Baumet, master of earth, and finally Yertan, the goblin slayer.

Varmir, the metal cataclysm

Varmir (He/Him Chaotic Neutral Gray Orc) is otherwise known as the inventor, the cyborg, and the metal cataclysm. Vamir was at one point a warrior who fought against gnoll and goblin, until he was struck by a small explosive. He survived, and became fascinated with the thing that nearly killed him. Soon he learned how to make these explosives faster and quicker, and has dubbed them "Orcish Blaze". He also learned how to augment his own body, and has replaced parts of himself with a mixture of magic and mechanical steel and iron. As of now, he works on a new kind of crossbow that can better deliever these explosives and take out rows of enemies from afar. He has gained rulership over a few cities in the eastern orcish mountains, and mainly supplies other orc cities with his bombs and weapons.

Warmik, the beast-tamer

Warmik (She/Her Chaotic Good Lycanthrope Gray Orc) is said to be more beast than orc herself. She has a way of taming all kinds of horrible beasts and monsters, such as cave bears, behemoths, and the occasional roc if they find one. She does this through her druidic powers, where she befriends the creatures rather than dominating them. Warmik also carries a dark secret, which only her best friend Grumush knows. As a little girl, she was bitten by a werebear, and now turns every full moon. If this secret ever got out, she would be hunted by the rest of the council and slain.

Qualicks, demonic orc lord

Qualicks (He/Him Neutral Evil Tanarukk) is a brutal warlord of the orcish mountains who commonly fights battles with the gnolls. He is cruel to his enemies, and harsh with his soldiers. He lays claim to strongholds on the borders between the orcs and gnolls. Qualicks is said to be a follower of baphomet, and commonly tries to make alliances between orcs and minotaurs. If this is true, he has not yet been found out and expelled for his heresy.

Shishmer, the king below

Shishmer (He/Him True Neutral Pale Orc) is known as the king below because he rules vast swaths of territory under the orcish mountains. He mainly works in mining for gems, ore, and stones that surface orcs crave. Shishmer has a close alliance with Urant and Baumet. Urant supplies him with svirfneblin and horned goblin slaves and Baumet helps collect gems. Shishmer is also known as the blind one, as he is completely blind above ground.

Urank, the slaver

Urank (She/Her Lawful Evil Gray Orc) is a cruel slave master, who commonly invades other lands and captures civilians to sell as slaves in her cities. She also takes on pet projects, making fun by personally breaking more rebellious slaves. It is said she holds a flail that once belonged to Yeenoghu (see page 48 for more info), and commonly uses it to break the toughest slaves she captures. She has a distrust of Warmik, and suspects she's hiding something important.

Baumet, master of earth

Baumet (He/Him Chaotic Good Pale Orc) is a master of the element of earth. He commonly uses his abilities, and the abilities of his followers, to reshape mountain sides and gather gems. Due to his connection with the earth, he can also tame creatures below like giant moles, bullettes, and purple worms. Due to this, he's also been called "Lord of All That Dig".

Yertan, goblin slayer

Yertan (He/Him Neutral Evil Gray Orc) is a barbaric warlord that is well known for his hatred of all goblinoids. He is also known as the "Gray Death", as whenever he comes across a goblinoid village or stronghold he leaves no survivors. He is highly bigoted and refuses to believe that anything is superior to the orcs, and that they are not superior to anything else. Yertan is hated by all council members, but due to him being able to kill the other council members as easily as he does the goblinoids, he is allowed to stay on the council.

The Gods of Xaggopia

The Goblinoid Pantheon

The goblinoid pantheon is ruled over entirely by Maglubiyet, the tyrant god, who forces the other gods under him to do as he pleases. These other gods are Bargrivyek, the peacemaker, Meriadar, the good god, Kikanuti, the horned mistress Nomog-Geaya, lord of hobgoblins Skiggaret, the black claw, Hruggek, father of bugbears, and Grankhul, the hunter.

The Giant-Kin Pantheon

The pantheon of giant-kin has no true structure, and is instead a rough grouping of gods that the giant-kin worship. Aside from Vaprak, who is by far the most widely worshiped, there is also Grolantor, Diancastra, Karontor, Hiatea, and Iallanis

Demon Lords

During the years of the fiendish wars, various demon lords rose to be worshiped as gods in Xaggopia by many peoples. They now take the role of divinity by gifting clerics and paladins "holy" power in their names. The most widely worshipped demon lords in Xaggopia are Graz'zt, Demogorgon, Kostchtchie, Orcus, Baphomet, Yeenoghu, Urae-Naas, Dagon, Ramenos, The Great Mother, Pazuzu, Sess'Innek, Laogzed, and Fraz-Urb'Luu.

Laogzed, the unending hunger

Worshipped by the troglodytes, Laogzed is the lord of hunger and feasting. He is little more than an animal who gifts power to those who offer him vast amounts of meat. Laogzed is uncaring of many of his worshippers, deeming them only worthy if they gorge themselves unendingly like he.

Fraz-Urb'Luu, prince of lies

Fraz-Urb'Luu is the only demon lord still at large, who is trapped on the material plane by a singular gem. Fraz-Urb'Luu is the lord of lies, tricks, and malicious traps. He is never purposely worshiped, instead usually making himself out to be another lord to try and lead his followers to free him from his prison.

Archdevils

Much like demon lords, certain archdevils rose to the ranks of worship after the fiendish wars, and are still worshiped by some groups today. These archdevils worshiped today are Asmodeus, Zariel, and Moloch. These devils grant their worshipers powers like gods would to clerics, hence their inclusion.

Relics of Xaggopia

Heart-Cleaver

Weapon (greatsword), Artifact (requires attunement)

Heart-Cleaver is the blade of Baphomet, lord of the wilds and enemy to civilization. He uses his large cleaver in battle, and lost it in Xaggopia long ago after losing a fight to the combined efforts of Zariel and Moloch. Heart-Cleaver is seen as a +3 greatsword in use.

• Rage Incarnate. If this weapon was used to kill a creature one round before its next use, it will give the wielder advantage when hitting with it.
• Rush Down. When using this weapon, you can move double your movement speed once per day.
• Ancient Rivalry. If this weapon is used against gnolls, it will deal max damage each and every time. Furthermore, if a gnoll wields this weapon, their Hp will be halved during use.
• Mutation. If attuned to this weapon for long periods of time, the wielder will begin to mutate and grow more bovine features.

The Wand of Orcus

Wand, Artifact (requires attunement) The ghastly Wand of Orcus rarely leaves Orcus’s side. The device, as evil as its creator, shares the demon lord’s aims to snuff out the lives of all living things and bind the Material Plane in the stasis of undeath. Orcus allows the wand to slip from his grasp from time to time. When it does, it magically appears wherever its master senses an opportunity to achieve some fell goal.

Made from bones as hard as iron, the wand is topped with a magically enlarged skull that once belonged to a human hero slain by Orcus. The wand can magically change in size to better conform to the grip of its user. Plants wither, drinks spoil, flesh rots, and vermin thrive in the wand’s presence.

Any creature besides Orcus that tries to attune to the wand must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a successful save, the creature takes 10d6 necrotic damage. On a failed save, the creature dies and rises as a zombie.

In the hands of one who is attuned to it, the wand can be wielded as a magic mace that grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. The wand deals an extra 2d12 necrotic damage on a hit.

• Protection. You gain a +3 bonus to Armor Class while holding the wand.

• Spells. The wand has 7 charges. While holding it, you can use an action and expend 1 or more of its charges to cast one of the following spells (save DC 18) from it: animate dead (1 charge), blight (2 charges), circle of death (3 charges), finger of death (3 charges), power word kill (4 charges), or speak with dead (1 charge). The wand regains 1d4 + 3 expended charges daily at dawn.
• Call Undead. While you are holding the wand, you can use an action to conjure skeletons and zombies, calling forth as many of them as you can divide 500 hit points among, each undead having average hit points (see the Monster Manual for statistics). The undead magically rise up from the ground or otherwise form in unoccupied spaces within 300 feet of you and obey your commands until they are destroyed or until dawn of the next day, when they collapse into inanimate piles of bones and rotting corpses. Once you use this property of the wand, you can’t use it again until the next dawn.
• Sentience. The Wand of Orcus is a sentient, chaotic evil item with an Intelligence of 16, a Wisdom of 12, and a Charisma of 16. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet. The wand communicates telepathically with its wielder and can speak, read, and understand Abyssal and Common.
• Personality. The wand’s purpose is to help satisfy Orcus’s desire to slay everything in the multiverse. The wand is cold, cruel, nihilistic, and bereft of humor. In order to further its master’s goals, the wand feigns devotion to its current user and makes grandiose promises that it has no intention of fulfilling, such as vowing to help its user overthrow Orcus.

Carriontooth

Weapon (greatsword), Artifact (requires attunement) This single-edged, blood-stained greatsword is the personal weapon of the demon lord Pazuzu. Legend has it Pazuzu created the weapon from the claw of a bird goddess it dueled and lost to before being trapped in the skies above the Abyss. Carriontooth is serrated and jagged, rending flesh as it slices and slashes.

• Attunement. If you attempt to attune to Carriontooth, your maximum hit points are reduced by 10 unless your alignment is chaotic evil. This reduction remains as long as you remain attuned to Carriontooth; magic cannot return the lost hit points.
• Magic Trifecta. You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon. Carriontooth also functions as a sword of sharpness, a sword of wounding and a vicious weapon.
• Rend. You deal an additional 6d6 necrotic damage when you hit with Carriontooth.
• Natural Enmity. Celestials of all kinds find Carriontooth abhorrent and are always hostile to you if you carry the weapon.

Matalotok

Weapon (warhammer), Artifact (requires attunement) Matalotok, the Frost Father, is an ancient hammer fashioned by a long dead god of giants. The favored weapon of the demon lord Kostchtchie, Matalotok is frigid to the touch and wreathed in mist.

• Frigid Power. You are immune to cold damage while holding Matalotok. Whenever it deals damage to a creature, the hammer radiates a burst of intense cold in a 30-foot-radius sphere. Each creature in that area takes 10 (3d6) cold damage.
• Aversion to Fire. When attuned to Matalotok, you take double damage when the damage type is fire.
• Petrifying Strike. Once per day, when landing a hit with the warhammer, the wielder may choose to petrify their enemy in a block of ice. The enemy will stay like this for 1 full week, after which it will suffer from 3 levels of exhaustion.
• Giant's Tongue. When you're attuned to this item, you gain advantage on all speech checks when dealing with a creature of the giant creature type.

Destroying The Relics

Each of these relics have their own unique way of being destroyed, which are spoke of in this category. Do note, if you destroy a relic, the demon lord who made it will automatically know.
