The elf can cast any of its spells with a range other than self from the projection's space. The projection disappears at the end of the elf's current turn.
Description
Hollow Seers are astral elves who have abandoned the traditional powers of the silver void in favor of something darker. They draw their power from the darkest reaches of space, channeling gravity and twisting space to create blank empty nothingness.
Astral Elves
Long ago, some elves ventured to the Astral Plane to be closer to their gods. There, they ceased to age and could exist indefinitely without sustenance.
Astral elves were among the first creatures to dwell in the Silver Void. As other explorers have reached for the stars, astral elves have had to reckon with violent neighbors and strange visitors. Over the eons, astral elves have clashed with numerous invaders, including psurlons, mind flayers, and githyanki. When dealing with others, astral elves customarily cover their faces with ornate visors, becoming faceless extensions of their gods. Their fierce devotion to the pantheon of elven deities is repaid with divine power. For example, the gods invest astral elf warriors with the power to channel the radiant energy of starlight through their weapons, just as they empower astral elf leaders with the ability to cast spells and summon solar dragons.
Astral elves ply the Astral Sea and Wildspace in ships of their own design. These ships are fashioned from crystals harvested from Wildspace systems and bound together with an organic, plant-based material that hardens like ceramic. The elves sculpt these substances in various configurations to create star moths (see the Astral Adventurer's Guide) and other vessels. The elves also reshape the petrified bodies of dead gods found adrift in the Silver Void, transforming them into floating cities and citadels.
Although the Silver Void is their home, astral elves often venture into Wildspace systems and place their ships and citadels in orbit around stars. Astral elves do this for several reasons. Proximity to a star allows the astral elves to forge pacts with solar dragons and to collect starlight, which the elves use to grow crystals and repair their ships. Most important, astral elves use their time outside the Deep Astral to replenish their numbers by having and raising children.
Many astral elves are thousands (in some cases tens of thousands) of years old. Whatever their disposition, their longevity gives astral elves a perspective on time that few other kinds of creatures can appreciate. Whether they choose to live in quiet contemplation or strike out to explore the far reaches of the multiverse, astral elves tend to see events happening elsewhere as having little or no meaning to them.
Lair and Lair Actions
Most Hollow Seers dwell in solitary space stations, disks of silver and glass that act as observatories for their study of the ever arching darkness of the cosmos. These plinths of their study are both home to them, and a way to better twist the gravitational forces around them due to the facilities' intricate and arcane structure.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the elf takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the elf can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Gravitational Shift. The observatory's main axis shifts. All creatures within must make a DC 18 Dexterity or Strength (creature's choice) saving throw, or be moved 10 feet in a direction of the elf's choice.
- Swallow Stars. The observatory's rings shift to block out any incoming starlight. The whole of the observatory is shrouded in dim light or darkness (elf's choice) until the elf next takes a lair action.
- Move Station. The elf causes the observatory to move as though it were piloting it as a spelljammer, although it only moves half as fast as a traditional spelljammer.
- Release Gravity. The elf disperses the gravity field of the observatory. It remains inactive until or unless the elf uses this lair action again to reactivate it.
Regional Effects
The region containing a Hollow Seer’s lair is in deep space, which causes the following effect(s):
- All creature's potential jump distances are doubled.
- When a creature is falling, instead of instantly hitting the ground they first fall half of distance in one turn, and the rest of the distance on the next.
