• Become incapacitated until the end of their turn
• Take 21 (6d6) psychic damage

On a success, the creature is immune for 24 hours.

• Inspiration. The creature gains an additional action immediately.
• Collapse. The creature takes 27 (6d8) psychic damage and is stunned until the end of its next turn.

---

Golden Sorrow (Recharge 5–6)

Óðr releases divine grief tied to Freyja.

Creatures of his choice within 60 feet take 45 (10d8) radiant damage.

A failed DC 24 Wisdom saving throw causes a creature to fall prone and become restrained by spectral golden strands until the end of its next turn.

The area becomes difficult terrain as golden tears crystallize.

Currently

Óðr is a powerful deity in Norse mythology, known for their cunning and intellect. They are currently in the midst of a journey that has taken them across the vast expanse of the North Atlantic, to the shores of the New World.

As they traverse the rugged landscape, Óðr is struck by the sheer beauty of this new land, with its towering mountains, dense forests, and crystal-clear lakes. But they also sense a darkness lurking just beneath the surface, a force that threatens to upset the delicate balance of nature and plunge the world into chaos.

Undeterred, Óðr presses on, determined to uncover the secrets of this new world and to use their powers to protect it from harm. They travel from one settlement to another, seeking out those who might help them in their quest.

In the bustling city of Tenochtitlán, Óðr is awed by the towering pyramids and intricate canal system, marveling at the ingenuity and creativity of the Aztec people. They spend weeks in the city, studying its architecture and learning about its customs and traditions.

But even here, in the heart of the Aztec empire, Óðr cannot escape the shadow of conflict. The Spanish conquistadors have arrived in the New World, driven by greed and a desire for power. Óðr watches as they pillage and destroy, leaving a trail of devastation in their wake.

Determined to stop the conquistadors in their tracks, Óðr sets out to gather allies and build a resistance. They seek out the native peoples of the New World, forging alliances and building an army that will stand against the Spanish.

It is a difficult and dangerous task, but Óðr is undaunted. They know that the fate of this new world hangs in the balance, and they will do whatever it takes to protect it. For Óðr, the ultimate goal is not simply to defeat the Spanish, but to create a new world order, one in which all people are equal and all voices are heard.
