Description
Astral hermits are aberrant traders obsessed with specific subjects. The Bonemonger studies bones, reading their histories to extract arcane knowledge. It appears as a tiny white rabbit but can transform into a devastating mythic form when threatened.
Lair and Lair Actions
The bonemonger’s lair is its hearth, a nacre-coated
spiral, folding in on itself and distorting gravity so
that down is always towards its centre Bones adorn
every surface, and can be animated to prevent
intrusion by unfriendly folks Trinkets for trade can
be found among the bones, making a newly formed
lair a veritable hoard
The area around a bonemonger’s lair becomes
distorted by its aberrant magic, often mixing with
the background magic of the plane on which it finds
itself The bonemonger’s predilection for anything
osseous leads to a lair that animates bones in a va-
riety of ways. Often, this mingling of magic results
in the spontaneous formation of
zones of retributive
truth, areas that punish those who lie or fail to an-
swer questions in a timely manner
