Scales of the Covenant ¶
The divine balance between creation and void.
A pact older than the planes themselves.
No force, not even divine will, may tip existence without consequence.
All things must answer the weight they place upon the world.
“By light and by shadow, by root and by crown,the world abides the Covenant. To restore the Scales is to restore the breath of Thalureth itself. — Othello Thayden, High Acolyte of the Remnarcan Archives
The Tilting of the Scales ¶
Every die rolled is not chance.
It is judgement.
Each result shifts the balance of the world itself:
| Roll | Outcome | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | Shadow Ascends | Corruption strengthens. The DM gains a die. |
| 4–6 | Light Endures | Stability holds. The players gain a die. |
Gameplay Impact ¶
The Scales are not passive.
They breathe into the world.
As the balance tips:
- The world may grow more hostile… or more forgiving
- Encounters may twist subtly toward shadow or light
- Outcomes echo beyond the moment they occur
- You may find the enviornment can be maniuplated to your favour, or be played against you
