(Exclusive Content) The Stygian Chimera
🕑 Added 2022-08-13 17:18:41 +0000 UTCHello, dear patrons! To wrap-up the Hellenic Treasures series, this week's exclusive content is the Stygian Chimera, our take on D&D's original chimera as a gatekeeper to the Seven Citadels of Hell!
"The river Styx separates the world of the living from the underworld, leading the souls of mortals to their final places of rest. Where it joins the rivers Phlegethos and Lethe, the streams of fire and forgetfulness, the Stygian Chimera protects the Gates of Hell.
Reinforced by the essence of the underworld, the Chimera oversees the flux of souls into the Seven Citadels, placed there to make sure that no unwanted visitors get beyond the gates, be them invaders, spies, or merely adventurers on a dare.
It’s a creature born from the planes of death themselves, but it obeys the Devil Princes and their commanders, held under their control with a collar forged by angels in an ancient past. It was captured by Asmodeus, Prince of Lies, who could trick it with his silver tongue.
Deterred by the celestial collar, it can’t go against the orders it receives, but its rage, though its power is lesser than that of the Princes, probably would shake the Citadels to its core.".
As usual, the PDF and VTT token can be found in the attachments below.
Hope this one terrifies your players!
