Regional Effects

The region surrounding the Kyanite Tower is warped by the Alvyin's unnatural presence, creating any of the following effects:

  • There’s a noticeable increase in greed, hate, and mesery in the region.
  • Plants within 500 feet of the lair become unatually gaudy, and their stems and branches become smooth and thick.
  • A creeping fog clings to the ground within 500 feet of Alvyin’s lair. The fog occasionally takes eerie forms, such as grasping claws and writhing serpents.

If Alvyin is destroyed, these effects end after 2d6 days.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Alvyin takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects:

  • Alvyin targets a volume of unoccupied space or solid stone no larger than four 10-foot cubes within 30 feet of him, turning the open space to solid, worked kyanite or vice versa.
  • Alvyin locks/closes or unlocks/opens any doors in the Kyanite Tower. DC 20 lock.
