Light Gnome
A formerly reclusive collection of smallfolk, communities of
these star-touched gnomes have been found increasingly
emerging across the world. Generations of intense worship

Moon Genasi
While many genasi result from an ancestral genie in their
bloodline, there are also those that are born from surges of
elemental energy. Though not often thought of as a primal
elemental form, the rock and light of the moon hold great
power that can change the very nature of creatures that are
exposed to them for long periods of time.
Moon genasi are relatively rare beings, coming from lands
that are blessed by lunar deities, have somehow come to
possess a remarkable amount of moon-sourced meteorites,
or that have been affected in some way by lunar fey magic.

Starborn
"I'm going to be sick, Avaalor," sighed Merrit, cautiously
stepping through the dark gate while waving away a strand of
errant stardust from her shoulder. "I still can't handle the
difference between each world when we go so quickly, no
matter how much Elder Vau'lez says we should appreciate
the variety. It's only been a few days since we visited Elysium,
and this place doesn't exactly compare."
Her companion looked up in response, squinting as newly
acrid and poisonous-smelling air stings his eyes. "I know, my
starlight, I know." he mumbled, quietly. "It has been rather
rough travel lately, hasn't it? I'm not sure why we've needed to
move with such haste these last weeks, but I'm sure the
elders have their reasons. Do you want me to speak to one of
the portalkeepers for you?"
"Oh, no, don't bother them on my account. I'm only
complaining," answered Merrit, her senses adjusting to a
dark gray sky and menagerie of rancid oozes emanating from
the ground. "I was just looking forward to finally selling off
the jewels I found for that demigod in Arborea, not taking a
jaunt into the Abyss to gaze at viper trees and vrocks."
The starborn are a people of travel and exploration, produced
from generations of exposure to cosmic and planar energies.
Believed to be the descendants from a collection of human,
elven, and genasi prisoners who broke free from their bonds
within the Astral Plane long ago, this society is now a
community of nomads who seek to cultivate balance and
peace through the course of their long-lasting travels.
Cosmically Imbued
The starborn are a somewhat physically imposing people,
commonly standing taller than 6 feet, but less dense than
would be expected for creatures of their dimensions. They
largely resemble humans with fine features for most of their
lives, though often with airy mantles of stardust surrounding
them, widely varying in substance and size.
These beings have become intrinsically magical over
hundreds of years, resulting from their exposure to the Astral
Plane and frequent cosmic jaunts. In late maturity, starborn
become less capable of keeping the magical energy they
embody contained within their forms, their hair turning to a
floating pale gossamer and their bodies emitting a heavier
shroud of hovering dust and spectral starlight.
Ever Seeking, Ever Lasting
Starborn society places a high value on exploration and
ensuring that their predecessors' legacies are eternally
honored. Elders within starborn communities teach that their
ancestors live on in spiritual forms in order to protect future
generations, but only as long as their scions continue to view
new lands, meet unfamiliar people, and gather fresh
perspectives.
Core to this ancient belief, starborn consider that the
greater the distance they explore makes their travels more
valuable to their ancestors. Attempting to honor this practice,
these people have committed their culture to a nomadic
society; one focused on an ever-shifting diaspora across the
worlds and planes.

Xel'na
"Annihilate. Exterminate. Extinguish. Consume. These
inclinations... no, that's not right, these commands keep
coming. I know not what gives them, but I know that I cannot
escape them any longer. The words were quiet at first, nearly
a hushed whisper causing me to turn my head to see if I was
alone. Now, they ring as a mid-day bell in my mind, a tolling
reminder that I cannot run from my own thoughts... no, still
not quite right. Our own thoughts.
In retrospect, I should have never taken that job to lead an
excursion into the ruins. Those rumors about why the city fell
must have stuck around for a few thousand years for a good
reason. What lurked there in the deepest dark and beyond,
what crept under my skin and inside my mind while I rested,
what now lurks in me? This... parasite? No... this wonderful,
glorious, exquisite being. It has a grasp on me now, both body
and soul. I am it and it is me. I know the horrific things it
desires and I know I cannot resist any longer. We are this
body, We are this mind, We are void, and We. Will. Consume."
- Duncan Hillsbreak, written upon a small scrap of paper
found on his distorted body titled, "Clarity. Help."
Hybrid beings that stem from a natural race and a touch of
corruption from the void, xel'na are often viewed as
mockeries of creation. They are largely changed from their
original race or who they were, yet might still maintain some
of their former self and composure. These beings face
contentious lives and are embattled with their own selves,
either giving in to the bizarre and destructive impulses they
receive from the great dark, or occasionally fighting against
these urges, though with great difficulty.
Shaped by the Void
Xel'na are creatures that originate from many races, places,
and creeds, yet all share a single terrifying attribute;
corruption by the great and terrible void beyond all things.
The void, which seeks to undo creation in its entirety and
return all matter and energy to desolate nothingness, has a
distorting effect on life. It twists it into warped facsimiles of
existence that it can attempt to manipulate to further ends.
Contact with the void can happen through a variety of
circumstances. Individuals may be tempted to broker pacts
with its harbingers and be altered evermore from their
accords, rifts in reality might appear and doom individuals
that meander too closely to them, or perhaps even an
infectious and parasitic plague might spawn and change the
beings who are afflicted by it. Regardless of how one has
been contaminated by the void, all are near-irreparably
altered by this aberrant and all-consuming force.
Varying Corruption
How a creature changes as a result of their contact with the
void can vary widely. Some individuals manifest changes that
affect their minds, granting them a measure of psionic
abilities, while others might have a bodily infestation, acting
as a host to a creature or creatures of uncreation which
shape their physical form into something greater than typical
mortality could provide. However, the type of alteration that
an individual undergoes is largely irrelevant to how it acts, as

Barbarian:
Path of of the Moon-Touched
Though perhaps not as renowned as were-creatures for being
entities altered by lunar forces, moon-touched are known as
ferocious berserkers whose minds have been addled under
the unyielding, yet pale and entrancing light of the moon.
Moon-touched develop their affliction in varied ways, such
as undergoing barbaric lunar rituals or becoming cursed by
fey powers. These lunacy-driven warriors are often pushed
into rages that involve unpredictably violent bouts; wildly
swinging their weapons at nearby targets and unable to tell
friend from foe.
Lunar Delirium
At 3rd level, the violent frenzy you invoke while raging
overwhelms other maddening conditions affecting your mind.
While raging, you gain the following effects:
You have resistance to psychic damage.
You are immune to new madness effects and any madness
effect affecting you is suspended.
When you take the Attack action and score a critical hit on
an attack roll with a melee weapon, you can use a bonus
action to make a melee weapon attack with advantage
against a randomly determined creature within your
reach. You also gain temporary hit points equal to your
proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier (minimum
of 1), which last until your rage ends.
Lesser Gravity
At 6th level, your speed increases by an additional 10 feet
while you are not wearing heavy armor.
In addition, when you make a high jump or standing high
jump, the distance you can travel increases by an amount
equal to your Strength modifier.
Waning Sanity
Starting at 10th level, your addled and ferocious psyche
spreads to others around you. As part of the bonus action you
take to enter your rage, you can cause a willing creature
within 30 feet of you to gain the effects of your Lunar
Delirium feature, which lasts until your rage ends.
Alternatively as part of the bonus action you take to enter
your rage, you can force a creature within 30 feet of you to
make a Wisdom saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + your
proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier or be inflicted
with brief lunacy, which lasts until your rage ends. You can
use your reaction against a target that fails this saving throw
when it makes an attack to force it to reroll the attack roll
against a randomly determined creature within its range.
Waxing Relentlessness
At 14th level, when you drop to 0 hit points and use your
Relentless Rage feature for the first time after finishing a
long rest, you automatically drop to 1 hit point without
needing to make a saving throw. The DC will start at 10 for
the next saving throw you make for Relentless Rage.
You also gain a number of temporary hit points equal to
your level whenever you benefit from this feature or succeed

Bard: College of Gravitas
Bards belonging to the college of gravitas have great mastery
in conveying intensity, majesty, and dignity through their
performances. They sway audiences with their melodies,
movements, and intonation, causing onlookers to become
susceptible to their words and gravitational magic.
These bards, though often solemn in nature as their craft
demands, work well with any companions they accrue. They
use their allies' positions around them to act as spatial
conduits for their spells, while simultaneously disabling or
propelling nearby foes around them.
Expansive Chorus
Starting at 3rd level, you can cast a bard spell from the space
of a creature that possesses one of your Bardic Inspiration
dice. If a creature uses their Bardic Inspiration die, you can
still cast a bard spell from their space until the end of your
next turn. The creature must be within 60 feet of you and you
must be able see the creature. You must otherwise obey all
requirements for the spell, such as being able to see the
spell's target or point of origin, in order to cast it.

finish your next short or long rest.
Center of Attraction
At 6th level, your skill in manipulating the direction of
performances has been amplified by your arcane prowess.
You can use a reaction when a creature starts its turn within
30 feet of you or an ally that possesses one of your Bardic
Inspiration dice within 60 feet of you to shift gravity, forcing
the creature to make a Strength saving throw against your
bard spell save DC or move up to 30 feet either toward or
away (your choice) from yourself or your ally in a straight line.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Charisma modifier (minimum of once) and regain any

Solemnity
Upon reaching 14th level, you can use your mastery of
dramatic performance to cause creatures to stand in awe at
your grandeur. As a bonus action, you can expend a use of
your Bardic Inspiration to don an aura of magisterial power
for 1 minute. As part of this bonus action and as a bonus

Cleric: Void Domain
The void; an abstract of the space between matter, which
simultaneously exists both within and outside the known
multiverse. Creatures which reside in the great dark or have
paradoxically spawned from this nothingness tend to hold
immense power, embodying the ever-encompassing nature of
the emptiness beyond all things. While these beings, such as
Hadar or Yog-Sothoth, tend not to be deities in the modern
interpretation, they have found that the worship they receive
from lesser beings adds to their influence and grant quasi-
divine magic to those who offer faith.

The Grand Design
Those who specialize in astromancy have great skill in
intuitively understanding how different cosmological bodies
and patterns work in tandem to either create or show
changes in destiny. Astromancers, more so than most arcane
casters, have a tendency to engage in faith and spirituality.
This often results from their questioning about the source of
these patterns and how central fortune is to their art.
It is not uncommon to find that astromancers have adopted
deities of fate into their worship, recognizing that the designs
of destiny to which gods tend and the constantly shifting
organization of constellations and planets are one in the
same. Some even view certain deities as the greatest
practitioners of astromancy and offer prayers for revelation.
Creating an Astromancer
As you create your astromancer, one of the most important
aspects to consider is how you have gained access to your
power. Were you visited by celestial visions suggesting that
you had a greater path to follow? Do you perhaps have a
mentor that taught you their craft or simply a natural skill in
comprehending universal mechanics? A variety of
experiences in your past may have allowed you to tap into the
energy given off from cosmic bodies and knowing this history
will be useful in deciding your potential discipline.
You must also consider what you intend to do with the
power that you hold. Do you have a specific goal in mind or
are you simply attempting to explore the world to gather
knowledge and wisdom? Do you plan to protect your
homeland with the fury of the sun or do you wish to reveal
secrets inherent to the world and further unknown places?
Quick Build
You can make an astromancer quickly by following these
suggestions. First, Wisdom should be your highest ability
score, followed by Constitution or Dexterity. Second, choose
the hermit or sage background.

The Astromancer table shows how many spell slots you have
to cast your astromancer spells of 1st level and higher. To
cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s

Discipline of Stars
Primitive magics that draw on stellar patterns have been
found to date back to the first attempts at contacting gods
and divining the future. This ancient tradition of star-scrying
has evolved over time, with thousands of years of star charts
and celestial events being recorded and studied.
Followers of this discipline tend to be those who aim to
understand fatalistic patterns or glean knowledge about the
designs of the gods through arcane means. The few capable
of these feats are rewarded with the power of the stars; given
the tools to tip the scales of fortune in their favor through
manipulation of their Starmotes and spells.

Magic Items
Armillary Observatory
Wondrous Item, very rare
This small disk of brass and golden bands is marked with
numerous platinum glyphs to signify protection and
divination. You can spend 1 minute to transform the item into
an armillary sphere and speak its command word. The
sphere enlarges into an observatory that remains in place
until you use the command word that dismisses it, which only
works if the observatory is empty.
The observatory is a dome, 120 feet in diameter. The
observatory exists as a large room surrounded by an
armillary sphere with a massive telescope. Each creature in
the area where the observatory appears is conveniently
avoided by the growing series of armillary sphere bands and
the room. Objects in the area that aren’t being worn or
carried are pushed to an unoccupied space outside but next
to the dome.
The observatory contains a single large room and is
luxuriously furnished. The room contains the telescope, a
single door, writing desks, and a series of floating magical
globes with faint depictions of different worlds imprinted on
them. The ceiling of the room is malleable, reflecting any
constellations or night skies that the user decides. The room
also possesses 18 large bookcases laid into the walls that
may be folded down and pulled out into comfortable bedding.
The books and scrolls contained within the observatory can
appear to be those that the user has read before or that have
been previously placed on the bookshelves by users of this
item.
If a creature finishes a long rest within the observatory,
they gain a slight insight into their coming future from the
ambient astromagical energy within the dome. The creature
gains a 1d6, which they can roll and add the number rolled to
one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes until it
finishes its next long rest.
Furnishings and other objects created by this item
dissipate into mist if removed from the dome and reappear in
their location when the item is next used. The bands and
walls of the room each have 100 hit points. If the observatory
is damaged, it slowly repairs the damage over 7 days.
Bead of Horrific Beings

Wondrous Item, uncommon
This small bead of obsidian contains a captured entity from
the very edge of existence. When you use an action to break
the bead, a Star Spawn Aberrant Spirit is summoned as if
you had cast the summon aberration spell, and the bead's
magic is lost.

Bottled Starlight
Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement)
This glimmering crystal decanter possesses 3 charges that
refresh daily at dawn. You can spend an action to uncork this
bottle and expend 1-3 charges, causing brilliant starlight to
spill forth in a 30-foot cone originating from you in a direction
of your choice. Each creature in this area gains temporary hit
points equal to 1d8 per expended charge for up to 1 hour.
Bright light remains in this area for a number of rounds
equal to the number of charges expended and this area sheds
dim light for an additional 10 feet.
Lunarune Quill
The tip of this beautiful owl-feather quill radiates a soft
spectral glow that briefly lingers on any writing you create.
You gain advantage on any ability checks you make to create
a physical forgery of a document using this quill.
Additionally, while holding this item, when you write on
parchment, paper, or some other suitable writing material
you can speak the item's command word to cast an illusion
on the script which lasts until dispelled. This illusion makes
the writing invisible to all creatures except when in
moonlight. You can designate whether this triggering light is
from all moonlight or from a specific phase of the moon when
you use the item in this way.
Nebulous Necklace
Wondrous Item, rare
This necklace of sparkling amethyst has a variety of subtle
lights that shine within it, but only upon close inspection.
While wearing it, you can cast one of your choice of the blur
or silent image spells. If you cast silent image in this way, it
requires a creature to succeed on a DC 14 Intelligence
(Investigation) check to discern the true nature of the illusion.
After either spell is cast using this item, the necklace can't be
used in this way again until the next dawn.
Pouch of Stardust
Wondrous Item, very rare
This pouch contains 1d4+1 pinches of glittering powder,
which seems to scintillate even without light present. You can
spend an action to take a pinch from this pouch and toss it
into the air around you. Up to 4 creatures of your choice
within 10 feet of you gain the effects of true seeing for 1 hour.

Ring of the Nightbringer
Ring, very rare (requires attunement)
This ring of iron and gray diamond possesses 4 charges and
regains 1d4 charges at dawn. You can use the charges in the
following ways while holding it:
Sleep. You can expend 1 charge to cast sleep from the
ring. The wearer can expend additional charges to
increase the spell's level by 1 for each extra expended
charge.
Dark Walker. You can expend 2 charges to cast either
darkness or darkvision from the ring.
Native of the Night. You can use an action to expend 4
charges and give up to 6 creatures of your choice within

checks for up to 1 hour. When affected in this way, a
creature also gains 10 feet of movement speed while in
areas of darkness.
River of Stars

This whip's handle is made of twisting ebony wood,
connected to a thong and fall of spectral stars. You gain a +1

with an attack using this magic whip, the attack does an
additional 1d4 radiant damage.
As a bonus action, you can speak the command word to
cause the whip to extend an additional 5 feet in length for 1
minute, the extra reach seemingly formed by pale radiant
starlight. For the duration, the whip also sheds dim light in a
Revelationist's Lightward 10-foot radius. This property can't be used again until the
Armor, very rare (requires attunement) next dawn.
This shield is a radiant aegis, marked with astromagical
runes and inlaid with luminous gems. While holding this
shield, you have a +1 bonus to AC. This bonus is in addition to
the shield's normal bonus to AC. While holding this shield,
you also have resistance to radiant damage.
The shield has 3 charges and it regains 1d3 expended
charges daily at dawn. You can use the charges in the
following ways while holding it:
Blinding Retribution. When you are hit by an attack by a
creature within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction
to expend 1 charge to cause a brilliant flash, forcing the
attacking creature to make a DC 15 Constitution saving
throw or become blinded until the end of their turn.
Divine Intervention. When a creature within 30 feet of
you takes damage, you can use your reaction to expend 1
charge to halve the damage the creature takes and then
take damage equal to the amount of damage prevented.
This property does not transfer any other effects that
might accompany the damage, and this damage can’t be
reduced in any way.
Martyrdom. You can use a bonus action to expend 2
charges to shed bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim
light for an additional 10 feet, as well as give yourself
advantage on all attack rolls and saving throws until the
end of your next turn. You can only expend charges in this
way if you start your turn in combat with fewer than half of
your hit points remaining. This effect ends early if you
have more than half of your hit points.

Shiftingsky Spire
Staff, legendary (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
Considered to be the grandest of items to be crafted by early
astromancers, the Shiftingsky Spire is a mercurial staff that
develops alongside its owner. This treasure changes its state
and grants access to greater might, in the form of various
spells, as well as celestial and gravitational powers. The
Shiftingsky Spire also transforms as it grows in ability in
order to emulate the majestic appearance of cosmic bodies,
such as the moon or stars.
The times at which this staff might change from one state
to the next largely depends on its wielder and their
experiences. It may shift from its dormant state to its
awakened one after its owner goes through a particularly
intense or emotional trial, or may undergo a change to its
exalted form once the spellcaster using it reaches a certain
level of power or understanding.
Dormant
While the Shiftingsky Spire is in a dormant state, the staff
has 8 charges and regains 4 (1d4+2) charges daily at dawn.
While holding the staff, you can expend 1 or more of its
charges to cast the following spells from it, using your spell
save DC: relativity (1 charge), lunacy (2 charges), or skywrite
(2 charges).
Additionally, while holding this staff, you can use an action
to expend 1 charge and create a Lesser Starmote for a
creature within 60 feet of you. This Lesser Starmote sheds
dim light in a 30-foot radius and lasts for up to 8 hours. The
mote and this light are only visible to the creature. This
Lesser Starmote disappears if you create another one.
Awakened
When the Shiftingsky Spire reaches an awakened state, you
gain the following benefits:
The staff has 12 charges and regains 5 (1d6+2) expended
charges daily at dawn.
You can also spend charges to cast the following spells
from the staff: vortex warp (2 charges) or detect rift
(2 charges).
You have a +1 to spell attack rolls and your spell save DC
increases by 1.
Exalted
When the Shiftingsky Spire reaches an exalted state, you
gain the following benefits:
The staff has 20 charges and regains 6 (1d8+2) expended
charges daily at dawn.
You can also spend charges to cast the following spells
from the staff: recall positionality (6 charges), reselect
space (6 charges), or crown of stars (7 charges).
As a bonus action, you can create a minor gravitational
warp in your local area. You can choose one creature that
you can see within 30 feet of you and the target must
succeed on a Strength saving throw against your spell
save DC or be moved 10 feet toward or away from you.

Sigilian Star Charts
Wondrous Item, legendary (requires attunement by a
spellcaster)
One of the greatest treasures to have come from the
legendary city of Sigil, these charts are thought to have
belonged to the Lady of Pain, herself, before they were stolen
away during the Faction War. This stellar atlas possesses the
following properites:
While holding these charts, you know the banishment,
demiplane, plane shift, and teleport spells.
The maps will always show the current layout of the
multiverse and planes, updating every day at dawn. While
holding them, you can make a DC 25 Intelligence
(Investigation) check to try and locate any world or plane
in existence as long as you know the location's name or
ruling entity. If you fail this check, you suffer 1 level of
exhaustion and the charts cannot be read again until the
next dawn.
If you use this item to discover the location of a plane
while holding these maps, you do not need to possess a Starfall
forked rod attuned to that plane to travel there with the Weapon (glaive), very rare (requires attunement)
plane shift spell for 24 hours.
This dark blue and ivory glaive possesses a strange, yet
graceful crescent curve to its blade. You gain a +2 bonus to
attack and damage rolls made with this weapon. While
holding this glaive, you have resistance to necrotic or radiant
damage. You choose between these resistances when you
finish a long rest.
As an action, you can swing this glaive in an arc in front of
you, sending forth a wave of radiant energy. Each creature in
a 30-foot long and 10-foot wide line originating from you in a
direction of your choice must make a Dexterity saving throw
or take 4d8 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much
damage on a successful one. This property can't be used
again until the next dawn.
Starseer's Astrolabe
This golden astronomical instrument is inlaid a series of
glyphs that help to predict forthcoming weal or woe. You have
advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to determine your
location or direction while using this astrolabe.
While holding this item, you can cast the augury spell with
it without requiring material components. The astrolabe can't
be used in this way again until the next dawn.
Starsunder
Weapon (scimitar), very rare (requires attunenment)
This scimitar consists of a silver handle connected to a black
blade, seemingly pulling in the light around it. You have a +1
bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon.
When you make an attack roll with this weapon against a
creature and hit while you or the target are in an area of
darkness, the weapon deals an additional 1d6 force damage.
When you attack a creature with this weapon and roll a 20 on
the attack roll while you or the target are in an area of
darkness, the target must also succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom
saving throw or immediately use its reaction, if available, to
move half its speed away from you. The creature doesn’t
move into obviously dangerous ground, such as a pit.

Sunfire Signet
Ring, rare (requires attunement)
This ring is comprised of a brilliant gold band inset with a
bright and impressive ruby, which gives off a slight warmth in
its immediate vicinity. While wearing this ring, you have the
following benefits:
You can cast produce flame (spell attack modifier +6).
You deal an additional 1d4 fire or radiant damage (your
choice) to a creature or object that you damage with an
attack or spell that deals fire or radiant damage.
When you take damage that would reduce you to 0 hit
points, you can cause an explosion of sunfire in your
immediate vicinity. Each creature within 5 feet of you
must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw, taking fire or
radiant damage (your choice) equal to your level on a
failed save, or half as much on a successful one. The ring
can't be used in this way again until the next dawn.
Tailor's Starthread
Wondrous Item, common
This thread is imbued with light amounts of stardust and
used by clothiers and enchanters alike. The illusory
properties of the stardust allows you to change the color or
pattern of any item of clothing.
When this thread is woven into an outfit, the wearer can
use a bonus action for it to shed dim light in a 5-foot radius
for up to 1 minute. The light created by this effect is magical,
but other effects of magical light or darkness, such as the
effects of the light or darkness spells, that overlap these areas
will take priority over this feature for as long as they remain.
This property can't be used again until the next dawn.
Temporal Treads
These boots or shoes endure well yet are strangely cobbled,
seemingly wavering slightly in space, even when perfectly
still. While wearing them, you can use a bonus action to gain
10 feet of speed until the end of your turn. When you use
these treads in this way, you also lose 10 feet of speed on

Notes on Cosmology
I
nfinite possibilities abound for how the cosmos of a
world is designed. Integrating how each or all of the
creations presented in this compendium exist in such
a world is, of course, the prerogative of the creative
DM. The following will include notes on certain
concepts, such as what the void may be understood
to be, as well as how the presence of existing
cosmological ideas may be conciliated to allow a universe in
which the concept of (mostly) empty and traversable space
that some of this compendium relies on can exist. As always,
these notes are simply examples and may be reinterpreted
(or disregarded!) by DMs to suit their particular worlds.
Considering Space
Although this compendium was designed with the intent for
creations to be largely setting non-specific, some of the
material may not mesh with a DM's understanding of their
cosmos. One may decide to reorient the concepts presented
in the prior pages to allow for these creations, regardless.
For example, Realmspace and other canonical Dungeons
and Dragons worlds tend to use a system that incorporates
crystal spheres, wildspace, and the phlogiston. A DM who
wishes to use some aspects of these concepts may conclude
that they will keep wildspace, but eliminate the crystal
spheres and phlogiston from their canon; making travel to or
from any celestial bodies possible simply through space.
Perhaps in your world there exists no moon, but a player is
interested in playing a Discipline of Moons Astromancer. You
can work together to create an unconventional way in which
a lunar influence still exists in your world. Maybe you utilize
the starscape of the Astral Plane as a version of traversable
space in your homebrew. You could consider having star-
based creations originate from here, instead of traditional
space. Alternatively, an issue may arise where there already
exists a void or constellations in your canon that do not
emulate the designs in this compendium. You may want to
simply rename the creations presented. Don't feel bound by
the flavor and suggestions presented in the pages above!
The Void
The "void" is a concept often presented in this compendium,
considered to be an abstract of space; its domain both the
area between matter, as well as all that exists beyond the
known multiverse. In some interpretations, it is "emptiness"
or a more abstract "lack of being." In other understandings of
this universal (or extra-universal, as it may be) force, it is one
of terror; a force that seeks to return all things to the dark
nothingness that existed before matter had been conceived.
Some of the beings native to the void, as well as the void's
general aesthetic, may bear resemblance to the Far Realm.
However, one should consider the varying motivations that
the two domains and the creatures native to them possess.
Whereas the Far Realm is similarly impossible to understand
in its utter madness as the void is, the entities which possess
power in the Far Realm do not seek to utterly undo creation
as the void does, but rather invade and rule it in their own
alien image. These divergent goals implicate a difference in
action that the two might take, but a DM may decide that the
two have a closer relationship than this section implies.
