People Can Gain a New Life at the Temple of Rebirth!
🕑 Added 2022-02-27 21:54:57 +0000 UTCTraveler! Thousands of years ago, a dragon scholar and mage envisioned a world in which creatures could gain a second chance beyond their death to complete the grandiose purpose of their life. Thus he created the Altar of Rebirth. By bringing the corpse of a creature to it, it is reformed and given a second chance at life. However, there is a catch!
Those revived in the altar must choose a higher purpose or something to achieve for the rest of their second life. Later, when they fail, achieve it, or refuse to pursue it, the gift of second life ends and their souls are bound in service to the Temple of Rebirth. They must now protect the temple and eventually help power the arcane device in the great domed hall. A great reward that comes at a steep price. Are the PCs brave enough to dare this binding pact?
This is a level 5 adventure with a bit of exploration, investigation of an ancient temple, and the opportunity to revive a fallen warrior with a new purpose in life! Here's a low-def preview of this illustration:
Here's a close-up of the temple's entrance. The gates are engraved with a lavish relief of a flying phoenix. A foreshadowing of the reviving nature of the temple and the phoenix effigy in the main hall.
The great Altar of Rebirth features an intricate effigy of the flaming bird, the phoenix. Placing the corpse of a creature in one of the rune circles causes the body to be desintegrated. The creature is then reformed in the opposite rune circle and given a second chance at life.
