Crown of The Maiden

The moon stirs in your blood. Petals follow your steps without wind to carry them, and shadows cling to you in ways the mortal world is not meant to understand. Power awakens in small flickers — gentle, but impossible to hide. Yet as the bloom rises, so too does the thorn.

Boons- The First Gifts
Fey-Blood Flicker - Passive "Moonlight remembers you, even when the world forgets." Your presence begins to slip at the edges, shaped by the soft glow of the waxing moon. Shadows fold closer when you move, petals drift in your wake as though gravity has lost interest in claiming them, and your outline blurs like something half-born of dream. This is not stealth by skill — it is stealth by nature, an instinctive fey blurring that mortals cannot explain and you cannot turn off.
You have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made in dim light or natural shadow.
Subtle drifting petals appear when you cast spells or move quickly (cosmetic).

Manifestation of The Maiden (1/day)-Action-1 Minute: “She runs with the first bloom — swift, bright, and beautifully dangerous.” The Maiden is the spark of awakening: swiftness, youth, the first rush of fey vigor. When you call on her, petals swirl at your feet, every motion blooming into glowing trails. Your magic quickens; your steps grow lighter; the world feels suddenly slow.
Bloomstep Agility: “The ground welcomes you like soft moss, and gravity bends to watch you pass.” Your movement becomes a dance of lightly falling blossoms. Each footfall leaves a whisper of color that fades like breath on a mirror.
Your movement speed increases by 10 ft.
Petal Flash: A cantrip is a gesture; a movement is a spark — both are enough for petals to ignite.” When your magic stirs or you move with intent, the air behind you cracks with blooming light. The damage is small, but it is the first sign of the destructive beauty that will one day define you. A single petal can cut — and the Maiden delights in proving it.
1/turn, when you cast a cantrip or move at least 10 ft, you deal 1d6 radiant or necrotic damage to a creature within 20 ft that you can see.

Banes - The First Price
Ironburn: "The earth’s blood remembers your kind — and it does not forgive.”  Iron recoils from you as though offended by your existence. Your touch leaves faint sizzling traces; your skin tenses beneath the metal’s mundane weight. Cold iron is worse. It carries the memory of ancient pacts and broken treaties, and it cuts deeper than steel has any right to.
Touching or holding iron deals 1d4 psychic damage.
You have disadvantage on spell attack rolls while touching iron.
You cannot wear iron armor.
Cold iron weapons deal +2d4 damage to you.

Fey Truth: “The moon is patient, but she never lies. Now neither can you — not easily.” Your tongue grows reluctant to bend the truth. Words catch, meanings twist, and the act of lying feels like walking against a rising tide of moonlight. Fey courts are built on truths and exact phrasing — and you are beginning to speak like one of their own.
You have disadvantage on Deception checks made to tell a lie. (Misdirection and omission remain unaffected.)

“Something watches when I speak. Something listens when I pause.”
“Beware truth, child. It blooms beautifully — but every bloom casts a shadow.”
A crown begins not in metal but in expectation.
