Herald of the Dusk God is a feat granted to those who have glimpsed the Threshold of Twilight, where the material world fades into the eternal dusk ruled by ancient, unknowable forces. Chosen as heralds by the Dusk God, such figures serve as intermediaries between realms of mortality and the ever-creeping shadow of oblivion. Their bodies are infused with twilight's magic, allowing them to wield powers over darkness, shadow, and the fading moments of the day. However, the entity they serve is more ancient and distant than most gods, and even the heralds struggle to fully comprehend its motives.
Mantle of Twilight's Embrace. Upon entering any area at sunset or during a celestial event related to twilight (such as an eclipse), you are cloaked in an aura of dusk. Hostile creatures e. within 15 feet of you are overwhelmed by a sense of dread, forcing them to make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 18) or become frightened for 1 minute. This ability only functions once per long rest.
Banish the Radiant. Once per day, you may target a creature or object connected to celestial or radiant energies (such as angels or holy icons) within 30 feet. The target must make a Charisma saving throw (DC 19) or be banished to the Shadowfell for 1 minute. If the banished target is a celestial or a radiant-aligned construct, you may choose to sever its connection to radiant power for up to 24 hours. This ability returns after a long rest.
Eyes of the Veil. Your eyes can now peer through the Veil that divides the material world from the realms of shadow and nullity. You gain Darkvision out to 120 feet and can see through magical darkness. Additionally, as a bonus action, you can attempt to sense the presence of invisible or ethereal entities within 60 feet of you, pinpointing their exact location.
Whisper of Sundown. As a Herald of the Dusk God, you possess the ability to commune with the shadow between life and death. Once per day, you may perform a 1-minute ritual to ask the Dusk God a single question about an event involving tragic death, loss, or betrayal within the last 100 years. The answer comes as a cryptic vision or a single whispered sentence, impossible to interpret without deep insight. This ability cannot be used to gain clear or unambiguous answers and is benignly indifferent to mortal concerns.
