While escaping from the remains of Avram's caravan, you were beset by a group of crodlu crossing the badlands near Altaruk. Despite being especially wild, you were able to capture one, and may attempt to tame it. At the beginning of each adventure you play, you may attempt a Nature check, DC 19. You may have one person assist you with this check; more people and the crodlu becomes too skittish and the taming attempt automatically fails. On a failed check, you and your assistant each loose 1 hit die. Once you have succeeded at 3 checks, the crodlu is considered tamed, acting as a mount. When you reach level 5, you may attempt to train the crodlu for war, following the procedure above with a target DC of 22. Once you have succeeded at 3 of these checks, your crodlu acts as a War Crodlu. 

Keeping the crodlu requires paying stabling and upkeep fees at the beginning of each adventure you play. For the crodlu, these fees equal 1cp; for the war crodlu, these fees increase to 5cp. These fees must be paid even while training the crodlu. At any time, you can elect to get rid of the crodlu, gaining 50cp. Mark through the rest of this story award if you exercise this option. If the crodlu dies, it does NOT automatically return to life, although it can be raised as normal. 

You and your companions ended the strange corruption the True had inflicted upon an ancient elemental temple located in the badlands south of Altaruk. The spirits of the temple now watch over you. On rare occasions they may appear in dreams, providing visions of a very different verdant world where the elements are in harmony. When you leave the temple you find the spirits have infused you in some way. 

The templar threatened you, saying Andropinis himself would punish you. Then he begged for mercy as you closed in on him... You murdered Praetor Verzonious!

Organized along strict military  lines, Sortar's Army is a ruthless, battle crazed band of raiders. Fierce and destructive, Sortar's warriors sweep across the desert  like a wild wind, ripping their intended target apart with all the rage and ferociousness of a sudden sand storm. FOr all their fierceness and berserk tendencies, this tribe directs its anger and agression at the city-states and the caravans carrying goods between them. They tend to leave other villages and small parties of travelers alone unless these groups do something to incur Sortar's wrath.

You receive a +2 to all skill checks relating to dealing with Sortar's Army. Minotaur is now an available player race.

You ate the sour fruit offered by the crazy old dwarf, Birk Suntouched. Since then you occasionally have flash-backs to the strange sensation of merging with the town that you felt during Birk's ritual.

As an action you may intentionally relive the feeling of merging you felt that moment. At the end of your turn, you, or one living ally within sight who also possesses this reward may regain the value of two hit die (plus Con bonus). The target then coughs up a bronze colored seed with the values below. You may only ever use this once.

Bronze Seed: As a bonus action you may eat the seed and gain 15 temporary hit points. 

You met two disembodied bloated heads, their hair tied in topknots. The loathsome creatures, named Sacha and Wyan, offered to help you in navigating Kalak's Ziggurat and catching up to Obadias. In exchange you gave them a hit die, which they consumed with raspy long grey tongues. It was a wretched experience. You are not sure what effect this may have in the future ... but it probably won't be good. 

You battled Meorties, ancient protectors of the lost Green Age of Athas who misunderstood you for agents of the now dead sorcerer-king Kalak. Upon one of the guardian's bodies you found a crystal. The crystal becomes attuned to you.

You took part in the joint assault to stop Obadias, working with members of the True. While the gulf between the Veiled Alliance and the True is still quite large, the success of the first undertaking of the ;True Alliance' will surely have ramifications in the future, especially given the troubled state of both organizations. 

You forgave Marama for being a traitor. Since the time of his death you have periodic dreams where you see Marama tending his garden. The water begins to turn to silt, ash falls from the sky, and magma seeps from between the flagstones. Marama mutters warnings you cannot recall before the garden is destroyed, finally claiming him.

“The elements are pleased. It is a good sign, the best in years. Would you make a sacrifice to them? To their power? Would you make it your own?” -Akashia

Amid the desolate landscape, a water elemental and an earth elemental engaged in an intricate dance, their elemental forms blending seamlessly. From afar, their rhythmic movements created a mesmerizing display that, mistaken for a distant sandstorm, concealed the ethereal elegance of their elemental choreography.

The primary philosophy of Gulg’s House of Charity is that those who pay forward are repaid in kind, and Mortana’s charity has given her friends in most places on Athas – friends who are now willing to help you. Once ever during a short rest, you may gain the visit of one of Mortana’s friends (even if you cannot see anyone around or reasonably explain how someone could find or hear you), and they will provide you with the benefit of a long rest.

However, the consequence of these actions is that House Minthur, enraged by the players' audacity, retaliates with increased vigilance and aggression. They hire skilled mercenaries and bolster their security measures, making it more difficult for the players to operate in Tyr without attracting unwanted attention. Furthermore, rumors spread throughout the city painting the players as dangerous troublemakers, leading to strained relationships with the city guard, Templars, the city council and Merchant Houses. (-2 on Charisma checks)

• Captain Mareau’s Offer (Shiv, Morhen and Safi - 1 hit die, Shred, Sindarin and Rexar - 3 hit die) In ancient times a group of dwarven druids from Yaramuke hired Captain Mareau to take them to the site of the primordial. There they would take part in the creation of the psionic artifact and force him into a deep slumber. However, the Captain’s love for a dying woman led him to believe he could use the power to secure undying love. His actions led to his and his crew’s undeath – forever regretting their actions and wishing to punish the living. You convinced the Captain to speak with you, and he gave you an offer. He would offer you some of the primal power in exchange for freeing him. Indicate here the option you selected:

• Gave a Small Amount of Life Force (1 hit die) You attempted to free him. You permanently have one fewer hit dice, which you will never regain.

Word of your party’s heroic stand against Lalali-Puy’s vile machinations spreads like wildfire across the Tablelands.

Your actions have bolstered your reputation among the oppressed, granting you the following boon:

• Boon of Verdant Vitality: Once per session, as an action, you can invoke the tree’s blessing to heal yourself or an ally within 30 feet for 5d10 hit points. This ability also removes one level of exhaustion, blindness, deafness, or a disease afflicting the target.

Hunted by the Defilers
The Sorcerer-Queen’s wrath knows no bounds. She places an exorbitant bounty on your heads, drawing the attention of defilers, assassins, and mercenaries across the land. Lalali-Puy’s agents are now relentless in their pursuit, and her whispering campaign ensures that defilers see you as a grave threat to their dark practices:

• Consequence - Marked by the Defilers: You are now notorious among defilers and their allies. Hostile defilers recognize you on sight, and attacks made against you by spellcasters who draw on defiling magic gain a +2 bonus to their attack rolls, and you suffer -2 to all saving throws against deflilers.

This mystical token, a simple feather from an Athasian roc, has been infused with ancient magic. It allows the bearer to call upon the aid of Cullen, a legendary ranger of the wastes. Riding his mighty roc, Cullen has been a protector of the desert for centuries, tracking threats and aiding those worthy of his help. 

Effect: Once per campaign, as a bonus action, the player may call upon Cullen's aid. The call echoes across the winds of Athas, summoning Cullen and his Athasian roc to the player's location. He will arrive within 1d6 rounds, soaring down from the skies with his great bird, landing to aid the party. The player can specify the type of aid needed, but Cullen's actions will be limited to what he can reasonably do in the short time he has. He will typically assist in combat, offer guidance, or provide a brief but valuable service. 

The Echo of the Ascendant was gifted in the moment of Pakk’s death—when his mind unraveled in a blinding surge of psionic force. As his consciousness shattered, fragments of his power lashed out, embedding themselves in each character like burning thoughts. Each echo is unstable, volatile—a final, unwilling gift from the Thinkmaker himself. 

Echo of the Ascendant — Choose One Effect When Activated:

1. Temporal Detachment. You briefly exist outside time. Take two full turns in a row. You can use this immediately—even if you are stunned, paralyzed, or surprised. Afterward, roll a DC 21 Constitution saving throw or gain 1 level of exhaustion.
   
   

2. Mindquake Pulse. Emit a wave of collapsing psychic force. Every enemy within 30 ft. must make a DC 21 Intelligence saving throw or take 8d10 psychic damage, be blinded, and unable to speak, cast spells, or use psionic powers until the end of their next turn.
   
   

3. Perfect Awareness. For 1 minute, gain:
   
   

1. • Truesight 60 ft.
     
     

   • Immunity to psychic damage
     
     

   • Advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saves
     
     

Once during the duration, you may automatically succeed on a failed saving throw.
