Thanks for reading, hope it helps, and let me know how you used Granny Nightshade in your game or ask any questions you may have! Thralls are weak, slow-moving skeletons that serve as the Liches' most basic combat unit, and spawn from skeletons killed by the Liches. Thralls are only capable of slowly towards their targets and striking at them with the bones in their hands, dealing 1 heart (2 HP) of damage with each strike; occasionally, they may wield broken swords, allowing them to deal 3 hearts (6 HP) of damage. Unlike regular skeletons, Thralls will not burn up when exposed to sunlight. Eventually the ways of the Nine Hells began to catch up with the Dark Lady, who sensed the turning tides and sent the hag to a devil exile named Nisroch to set contingencies. With this exile the hag began learning of herbalism and became enthralled with how something as beautiful as a flower could mean death with a single drop of poison derived from it. Because of this obsession Nisrach dubbed his new pupil "Nightshade," which the hag happily accepted as her new name. Despite their work together and the success of their poisons, the Archdevil Duskur found herself exiled by Asmodeus himself while Nisroch was completely destroyed. Nightshade found that Duskur accepted her fate to the hag's amazement, the devil concluding that it was the ways of Hell and she was due for a rest. This was not enough for Nightshade, seeing this as acceptance of failure, and fled Hell to begin her own struggle for power elsewhere.
Liches drop 0-2 bones and 0-2 Dread Shards, and have a 10% chance of dropping a Gravemaster's Key. They can also drop their staff which can shoot icy orbs. In the Dreaded Depths natural light is unknown. Each step a traveler takes when moving from the Middle Reaches toward the heart of the forest seems to dim the sun's light a little more until the forest's growth blots out the sky entirely. Sources of bright light shine out to only a 10-foot radius with any normal bright illumination beyond that reduced to dim light and dim light into darkness. Even Darkvision suffers, as it only functions out to 30 feet. Ghouls, Beasts, and Scuttlers can vary in size, depending how big the slain mob they spawned from was. My first post about a location specifically rather than an NPC! I've been excited to get to these sort of posts since I finished the council, and lots of people have mentioned how much they'd like posts like this, so here we are. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint! As you can see the format is a little different considering the difference in content. Going forward with posts like these I may make some changes like I did with the NPC posts, but we'll see! The Left Hand is both a grimoire that breaks down the rites and spells of many commonly sought after foci for those who come to the mystic path as it also details working with Demons and Spirits, accounts the exile of the Blighted Lords, exposes the truth of the Judeo-Chrisitian-Islamic hypocrisy, heresy, mass murder, and control beside the governmental tyranny and religious profiling that is plaguing walkers of the Old Ways. This tome has some of Somnus Dreadwood’s personal philosophies about the political/social/religious state of the world and with the loss of freedoms how our sect of the spiritual spectrum will soon be targeted by another new Inquisition. This tome also details his communications between Cernobog, Satan, Asmodeus, and Zazazel. Herein given is the component formula and vampiric ritual that he used to save his father's life.In the heavily-patrolled Outer Fringe the threats are what one may expect from any other untamed forest: beasts such as wolves, bandits, and more powerful monstrosities such as owlbears. One may come across royal ranger patrols or squads of wood elves keeping the area safe.

Don't forget to flesh out what's going on in the Shadowfell Dreadwood. Castle Spiral exists in both planes so no matter what you do with the Material Plane, that's only half of Granny Nightshade's dominion! Her rule could extend further in the Shadowfell than on the Material Plane, or perhaps she's constantly devoting resources to keeping Shadowfell enemies at bay so she can't focus too much on expanding her Material Plane rule. Granny Nightshade is terror incarnate for the people who live in the Saltmarsh area as she literally controls nightmares and the creatures of the Shadowfell. If a party is tasked with or wanting to end her reign, they are in for quite a difficult and horrifying adventure. Care to take a look at the large upper class houses in the suburban side of town? Beware of the dead who inhabit the once snobby area. Or perhaps you'll enjoy a stay at a five star hotel in the city? It may be your only safety in a city swamped in the dead. Those who get away from the population will find dangerous abandoned buildings, winding trails, and trailer park homes. Wherever you so choose to stay..

This part of the forest is relatively safe due to the ranger and elf patrols that keep the denizens of the deeper forest at bay. Owlbears, wolves, and a few bandit gangs that elude the notice of the patrols are the most common threat to explorers and travelers there. According to maps of Oerth, where Saltmarsh and the Dreadwood are from, the Dreadwood is pretty massive. You can of course alter its size for your game, but keep in mind that the regional map in the book only shows a small portion, and just a bit of the Outer Fringe at that! In addition to this, she leads a diverse array of undead servants and minions, all of which have unique features: The first diamond gnome challenge is found in a cavern just beyond the beach near the starting location. There is a small lever at the top of the stairs that activates the Gnomograph puzzle, which consists of a series of grids featuring light-up switches. The inner depths of the Dreadwood are a place where the planar bindings between the Material Plane and the Shadowfell wear thin. Undead creatures and villainous monsters that seek to tap into the shadowy power of that realm thrive deep in the forest. Its innermost reaches mingle with that dark realm, forming a warped mirror version of the Dreadwood that extends into that plane.
