Blackened Smith




A dark fey artisan’s strongest tool and favored weapon a blackened smith is blacksmithing hammer made from the fragments of a vainglory and the wood of a deadwood tree. Arcane power visibly ripples across its head, and every time it strikes miniature sparks of lighting sizzle from the point of impact.

Craftman’s Friend. A blackened smith can move and work on its own, and often does. However, when taken in hand by a fey craftsman it allows them to not only shape metal but bind the magic of the Waning Court to their work. Fashioning a blackened smith moves a waning fey from journeyman to master.

Lingering Skill. After being slain most of the once-enchanted hammer remains, including some of its magic. While it can no longer channel lighting or be used as an effective weapon it greatly aids in the construction of magic items. Sometimes a mortal tricks a fey artisan out of an blackened smith, which also disenchants the hammer. These lucky souls often go on to grow a fortune from the wears they produce. However, the bamboozled fey often seeks to repair its honor, with lethal results. A ‘dead’ blackened smith grants advantage on tool skill checks where it might apply.

Cuirassier Mimic

Hand-crafted by an aberrant soul, the first mimic of this breed was given to the creature's loyal bodyguard to provide both protection... and a second bodyguard as it were. The monstrosity performed exceptionally well, especially when heroes slew the fellow wearing it and the mimic kept the bottom fighting. Thus the cuirassier mimic was passed to the next right-hand-mook, and so on as its bearers passed. This lead to a legend of an immortal servant when in truth, it was just the armor all along. Eventually, its creator was killed, the mimic 'looted', and its spore spread across the realm.

Entry Mimic

This particular strain of mimics was carefully cultivated into being by a drow matron sick of uninvited guests - both of the adventurer and political rival variety. Resistant to pesky bypassing magic and capable of alerting a building's occupants (and other mimics) of interlopers, entry mimics became all the rage... well, until they started eating honored guests and the occasional house pet. The matron quickly lost favor and stepped through one door never to return... as it were.

Soot Foot

Prior to Death claiming the Kingdom, the zombie dubbed Soot Foot was just another of the faceless masses. While he was a chimney sweep of notable skill, no one noted the ash-smeared lad. Surely, he could have made some money it a sideshow with his double-jointed talents but he preferred the quiet life. He perished in the middle of a job, his already pliant joints tearing into compound fractures as he scrambled to find the flesh of the living. The toxins soaked into his rotting skin give him a unique virality that leaves fiery undead in his weak and he never leaves the cinder of his chimney lairs far behind. -Records of the Charnel House Soot Foot Medium undead (zombie), chaotic evil Armor Class 8 Hit Points 45 (6d8 + 18) Speed 20ft Climb 20ft Str 16 Dex 6 Con 16 Int 3 Wis 8 Cha 5 Skills Stealth +2 Damage Resistances fire Condition Immunities exhaustion, poisoned
