Betraying Eldath the Quiet One, goddess of calm waters, brings upon the player the "Curse of BrokenTranquility," disrupting their ability to find peace and calm.
- Sleepless Nights: You find it difficult to attain restful sleep. When taking a long rest, the player makes a DC 12 CON check. On a fail, the rest only restores the player to half hit points and spell slots. Additionally, they have disadvantage on Perception checks due to fatigue.
- Echoes of Discord: In moments of silence, the party hears whispers of dissent and discordant sounds, which can be distracting. These echoes impose disadvantage on Concentration checks, making it harder to maintain spells or focus during critical moments.
- Elusive Calm: Any attempt to use abilities or spells that rely on achieving a state of calm or inner peace (such as meditation or casting ritual spells) is met with difficulty, causing such actions to take twice as much time to complete.
- Water's Rebellion: Bodies of water become hostile toward you. Calm streams become turbulent when you attempt to cross, and rainstorms seem to follow you, making travel unpleasant and predicting weather difficult.
The curse can be lifted by performing a selfless act of peacekeeping or by restoring a place of disharmony back to tranquility, which might involve mediating a conflict, healing a corrupted waterway, or directly appeasing Eldath through an offering or pilgrimage to one of her sacred sites.
