Chronicles of the World of DaoTyr

Omnetri, the Anubian archaeologist is loyal to people, a capable spellcaster, and an elder in his clan.

Chapter four: Elder Evils

The Tomb of the Nameless Queen, part 2

Begin: The Multiphasic Tunneling Teleporter is strapped to Boorengi’s back, out of Omnetri’s reach. The heroes of the Eagles are there, at the breach of the door, The Steel Defender “Penthalia” (Khaldun’s Tomb Guardian, construct; HP 37/AC 15/CR 3), Boorengi’s homunculus (tiny construct; HP 8/AC13) are there, as is the Anubian Archeaologist. Yog Omonir is activated, as well as the Stone Golems. The antagonists will not leave the chamber of Yog Omonir.

YOG OMONIR appears as an obelisk, 40’ tall on a base pedestal of four, tomb-lockers which may contain some Platinium. Two stone golems activate on each side of the YOG OMONIR when the room is breached. Locking holes for the dagger key lie on the causeway between YOG OMONIR and each of the golems.

Death Gaze.When a creature that can see YOG OMONIR’s great eye starts its turn within thirty feet of the base of the pillar that makes up YOG OMONIR’s body, YOG OMONIR can force it to make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw if YOG OMONIR isn’t incapacitated and can see the creature. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the creature is reduced to 0 hit points, unless it is immune to the frightened condition. Otherwise, a creature takes 16 (3d10) on a failed save. Unless surprised, a creature can avert its eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of the turn. If the creature does so, it has disadvantage on attack rolls against YOG OMONIR until the start of its next turn. If the creature looks at YOG OMONIR in the meantime, it must immediately make the saving throw.

The homunculus is destroyed, and Boorengi falls. Penthalia wrestles the ancient evil who appears as a pillar but relents and the heroes escape without defeating the enemies. Solving the room becomes a goal, as clearly that is where the hoard of Solarized Platinum is stowed.

Back in the entrance chamber that Omnetri was using as an archaeologist’s laboratory, Boorengi was healed and puts his homunculus back together. After, the books of Omnetri were examined while debating the next move.

The three books.

• The Amber Tome. Pre-Tuaranathi history of the Giff and their Githyankian enslavement; written by Daelegni Roonmouna, the historian adventurer who died in the poison room (Chapter 03) and had the Guantlets of Gophimonyr. The Giff-designed lock on the door that leads to the tomb of the Nameless queen sits outside of time as a revenge prayer of Tawaret.
• The Book of forgotten histories; Kithren, the Tomb of the Nameless Queen, is one of the seven tombs of Aetharadion; GRIMWO is one of the other tombs, a Giff tomb for a secret empire; the promise of Tawaret. The location of Grimwo and the other tombs is lost. The other five tombs are called BEMLEN, UTHOLIOT, CALFARETTE, MILSAMO and SHAKAT. Shakat may be located in the constellation of the Golden Bow in Xaryxian space. The tombs date to Ubek Alum Pharaonic Dynasties (741-1006 sol). The current year is 4906 sol.
• The Elder Translations; cipher between three languages, 01. Aetharadion, the ancient language of the Githyanki; 02. Caiphon, elder evil language of the horror beyond… of the Abolethia. 03. Azakiduan, the language of the dead… the book of the dead.

The entrance chamber of the Queen’s tomb

The queen in her sarcophagus

A.03 tomb of the Nameless Queen. 60 feet x 25 feet. Activation by Gophimonyri gauntlet into slot near door, by Giff eyes only. The entrance passage is bypassed by Khaldun triangulating the multiphasic transporter. The power requirement of the tomb activation is weakening the integrity of the tomb. It begins to crumble, threatening to destroy the complex. The tomb of the Queen is seen on the far wall. She lays in stasis. There are ancient beads of platinum cached at the base of her tomb. Boorengi determines that there is a mechanism by which, should he not take this stash of platinum for himself, he can insert the fuel into a device that will save the queen and her tomb. He decides to save the facility and sacrifices the fuel.

The flag of a particularly loyal world of Githyanki to their Lich Queen Hythonia, known as Olgathum 3 of Tuaranth. Honor’s Eye flew this flag upon collision with the North Star.

The Githyanki, known as Kirex, was aboard Honor’s Eye and survived the collision with the North Star because he was in the ship’s prison at the time for treason. Kirex is part of a new anarchic group called The Blue Spear Revolution and now, as a prisoner aboard the Eagle, tells them that he defied his captain for the captain’s martyr-wish to attach the Xaryxian refugee vessel, The North Star. Apparently, The captain, Ghirzon, found out that there is a Syberis dragon-marked child on board the North Star and is obsessed with dragon marks and their power. The elven infant, Camal, was the only elf to survive the collision and the battle that followed. Camal is covered in the strange runes of the dragonmark. Camal’s mother, who was killed, kept a journal which revealed that the crew of the Esimere (the North Star) was fleeing Xaryxian space because dragonmarks in Elven culture have been considered aberrant and unnatural since the Ruin of the Solar Dragon in 4751, one hundred and fifty years ago. The current year is 4906.

A Spelljammer Campaign. Dungeons and Dragons. 5E. In the world of Ur-Unon, it was only 200 years ago that Alexander the Conquerer activated the Aether Makina and elevated his Macedonian army to cosmic power. Rampaging across the Aetheric Road, Alexander seeks to colonize the entirety of the multiverse under his hegemony. The Aetheric Road existed inside of Osirian space, a wild realm of Egyptian gods that long existed in the magical dimensions between the stars. Alexander’s trespassing caused a split in time and space and opened axis points between the historical worlds of Ur-Unon and celestial planes of what would thereafter be called Argead Space. What was once a Macedonian Satrap, the Argead empire (a version of which is now called The Alignment) is fractured now into the many cultures of Egyptos. Despite only two centuries of worldly history having elapsed since Alexander’s ascension, it has been over five thousand years in Argead Space. In this time, the Astral elves and many other races of the world have colonized the many habitable worlds across the celestial sea and with the coming of Spelljamming technology, have matured into millennia-old civilizations with ancient histories of their own.
