# Pacts of the Progenitor Wyrms Before the world as we know it was made, three great dragons ruled existence: Siberys, Eberron and Khyber. A cruel and jealous wyrm, Khyber sought to dominate its rivals, and after a battle which shook the Astral Sea it slew its brother Siberys and scattered its form to the stars. In punishment, Eberron overwhelmed and enveloped Khyber, binding it forever within its body, separating creation into the world we know today. The shards of Siberys, the Dragon Above, glitter in a band across the sky. Khyber, the Dragon Below, forms the great expanse of the underworld. Eberron, the Dragon Between, forms the earth which divides them. ## Otherworldy Patrons The progenitor wyrms are quiet creators, but the right heroes and villians might hear their whispers. Warlocks may choose Siberys, Eberron or Khyber as their Otherworldly Patron. ### Siberys, The Dragon Above Siberys may have been killed by Khyber, but it yet reveals its will in the dance of stars and dragonshards that light the sky. The dragons who were born from the blood of their fallen father still seek its wisdom in the Prophecy. A warlock who has made a pact with the Dragon Above may need to read the Prophecy to understand their purpose. However, all wise creatures know that Siberys stands against the darkness of the Dragon Below. #### Expanded Spell List The Dragon Above lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you. ##### Dragon Above Expanded Spells | Spell Level | Spell | |:----:|:--------------| | 1st | *bless, guiding bolt*| | 2nd | *augury, moonbeam*| | 3rd | *haste, spirit guardians*| | 4th | *divination, wall of fire*| | 5th | *flame strike, legend lore*| #### World's Halo Starting at 1st level, you gain the ability to wield the light cast by the Ring of Siberys, which can be used to reveal truths. You can cast the cantrip *light*. As an action, you can enhance the effect of an active *light* spell. Creatures within the spell's area of bright light gain advantage on the first Wisdom (Insight) check and disadvantage on the first Charisma (Deception) check they make while illuminated by the enhanced *light* spell. When you enhance a *light* spell with this feature, you must complete a short rest before you can do so again. ``` ``` #### Visions of Twelve and One Starting at 6th level, your observations of the Dragon Above grant you an understanding of the way the events of the world will unfold. When you finish a long rest, roll a number of d20 dice equal to your number of warlock spell slots and record each result. These recorded "vision dice" can be used to modify the results of future dice rolls. Whenever you make an attack roll, ability check, skill check or saving throw and do not like the result, you can substitute the dice result with one of your vision dice. If you do, that vision dice cannot be used again. Whenever you finish a long rest unused vision dice are lost. #### Mark of the Prophecy Starting at 10th level, you gain the ability to scribe marks of Siberys across the world. As an action, you can draw a mark upon a solid surface and roll one new vision die, as described by your *Visions of Twelve and One* patron feature. Whenever a creature you can see that is within 100 feet of the mark makes an attack roll, ability check, skill check or saving throw and you do not like the result, you can use your reaction to substitute the dice result with one of your vision dice. The mark persists for one minute, then evaporates without a trace. When you use this feature to draw a mark, you must finish a short rest before you can do so again. #### Starfall Starting at 14th level, the Dragon Above may bestow upon you a rare gift. As an action, you call a Siberys dragonshard to fall from the sky and strike the ground within 120 feet of you. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on the point you choose must make a Dexterity saving throw, with DC equal to your warlock spell save DC. An affected creature takes 8d6 fire damage and 8d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful save. After the impact, the ground within the affected area costs 2 feet of speed for every 1 foot moved. The ability damages objects in the area and ignites flammable objects that aren't being worn or carried. The dragonshard is destroyed on impact. When you use this ability, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

### Eberron, The Dragon Between Eberron, the Dragon Between, is the progenitor wyrm responsible for the innumerable forms of life across the surface world. Eberron dragonshards grant and store arcane power, and this gift is reflected in any pact made with the Dragon Between. Eberron seeks to shield its children from the conflicts of the other progenitors and their spawn, and to spread life in all its wondrous variation. #### Expanded Spell List The Dragon Between lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you. ##### Dragon Between Expanded Spells | Spell Level | Spell | |:----:|:--------------| | 1st | *entangle, heroism* | | 2nd | *calm emotions, spike growth*| | 3rd | *conjure animals, plant growth*| | 4th | *Otiluke's resilient sphere, grasping vine*| | 5th | *tree stride, wall of stone*| #### Bonds of Balance Starting at 1st level, your arcane magic supports and grows the life that surrounds you. Whenever you spend a warlock spell slot you choose one creature within 30 feet of you to gain temporary hit points equal to half your level (rounded down) plus your Charisma modifier. #### Reserve Arcana Starting at 6th level, the Dragon Between grants you the ability to store a portion of your power to use at a later date. Whenever you expend a warlock spell slot, you gain one point of reserve arcana, up to a maximum of three points. When you make an attack roll or ability check, you may spend one point of reserve arcana to add 1d6 to that roll. You must decide to spend your reserve arcana before you roll the dice. ``` ```

#### Eberron's Guidance Starting at 10th level, you hear the voice of Eberron itself. You may cast *commune with nature* without expending a warlock spell slot. When you use this ability, you must finish a long rest before you can do so again. In addition, your bond with Eberron bolsters your resolve against the most fearsome creatures of Khyber. You are immune to the frightened condition. #### Life Arcana Starting at 14th level, the Dragon Between bestows upon you a special Eberron dragonshard. As an action, you may place the dragonshard upon the ground and expend it to instantly grow a 10 foot tall sapling in its place. Whenever any creature within 100 feet of the sapling expends a spell slot, the sapling grows 5 feet taller. If you are also within 100 feet of the sapling when it grows, it grants you one point of reserve arcana. While you are within 100 feet of the sapling, you may store an unlimited number of reserve arcana points. If you leave the area you do not lose the extra reserve arcana, but you do not gain any extra until your reserve arcana points are reduced below five. If your oath-given Eberron dragonshard is expended or destroyed, you may generate a new one when you finish a long rest. \page

### Khyber, The Dragon Below The Dragon Below is a selfish force. It embodies a lust for power and holds within itself the trophies of its abuse. The Daekyr and the Demon Lords now bound deep within Khyber's caverns, and even on the surface world its magic is used to trap elementals into servitude. A pact with the Dragon Below is not merely a gift of power from the underworld, it is instead a tool to take that power from other creatures. #### Expanded Spell List The Dragon Below lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you. ##### Dragon Below Expanded Spells | Spell Level | Spell | |:----:|:--------------| | 1st | *bane, dissonant whispers* | | 2nd | *blindness/deafness, silence*| | 3rd | *bestow curse, slow*| | 4th | *confusion, conjure minor elementals*| | 5th | *conjure elementals, planar binding*| #### Path Binding Starting at 1st level, you can steal the freedom of your foes to find their way. When an enemy moves within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to immediately move up to your speed. This movement does not provoke an opportunity attack from the triggering enemy. Additionally, the triggering enemy must succeeed on a Charisma saving throw or become restrained until the start of its next turn. The save DC equal to your warlock spell save DC. When you use this ability, you must finish a short rest before you can use it again.

Please come and have a look around! > ``` ``` #### Spell Binding Starting at 6th level, you can cast *counterspell* using a warlock spell slot. If you cause a spell to fail using this feature, and that spell is of lower level than your warlock spell slot level, you may add that spell to your list of warlock spells known. You may only have one additional spell granted by this feature. If you choose to bind a new spell, it replaces the one previously bound. #### Life Binding Starting at 10th level, you can steal the vitality of your enemies with your arcane magic. When you hit a creature with a warlock spell attack, you regain a number of hit points equal to the damage you deal to one of the creatures hit by that spell. If you use this feature you must finish a long rest before you can use it again. #### Soul Binding Starting at 14th level, the Dragon Below bestows upon you a special Khyber dragonshard. When you reduce a creature to 0hp or less, you may immediately activate this feature to permanently bind a creature within your pact-given Khyber dragonshard. Upon doing so, the creature's body disappears and their mind and soul become trapped within the dragonshard. While trapped, the target creature is conscious but cannot take actions. You can read the mind of a trapped creature as if you had cast *detect thoughts*, however the trapped creature automatically fails any saving throw to resist. If you have trapped a creature with an Intelligence score of 3 or lower, or one which doesn't speak any language, then you can only learn the emotional state of that creature. The trapped creature is freed immediately if you bind the soul of another creature or if your pact-given Khyber dragonshard is shattered. A freed creature appears in the same space as the Khyber dragonshard with 1 hit point. If your pact-given Khyber dragonshard is destroyed, you may generate a new one when you finish a long rest.
