Totem of the Ice Titan: One-Sided. (Patreon)

Greetings All!

This is something I’ve been wanting to try for a while now, and if you could not tell this is the first of a pair. While the counterpart is planned for the future, it is still a few weeks out from here. Focusing on the Ice Titan for now, but you can imagine an opposing image for now.

This is an item that has a lot of possibilities, especially in story hooks. From an ancient castle that has mysteriously frozen over, a mysterious cold snap leading to a frozen harbor, or a quest to stem a heatwave through a lost relic . It has a lot of possibilities, and is worthy of Legendary Status.

Can’t wait to keep diving into the common and legendary items, the whiplash between the two is inspiring some fun oddities for sure.

As always, your thoughts, and questions are encouraged in making these better!

Updates: Wording Fixes.

I hope you enjoy this one! Truly, as always and ever sincerely, Thank You.

Description:

This is a totem carved from primordial permafrost and engraved with carvings of the old magics. Standing at almost two feet tall, it is carved to bear the resemblance of an primordial titan or elemental that once roamed the frozen waste. It is said to be carved from a piece of the titan severed in its final battle within this realm. It now is one of the last connections to their power, as even its name has vanished to time.

On a 1, the weather within 5 Miles increases the temperature by 1 Stage in accordance to the spell. This will continue until the climate within the radius becomes Arctic Cold. If the totem is removed from the area, it will return to normal over 1d10 Days.
