The Opening

“The City of Glass resonates with the psychic scream of an oncoming tide. Your only hope lies in a derelict Nautiloid orbiting the Dying Star to recover the Resonance Core. You must extract the invasion blueprints before the first fleet arrives and shatters the dragonborn legacy.”

— Hook · Investigation

Set the Scene

The party stands atop the Crystal Spire of the Dragonborn City of Glass, looking at the purple rift opening in the sky above the horizon.

Stakes

The complete destruction of the Dragonborn civilization and the conversion of the City of Glass into a psionic battery for the Hive Mind.

Ticking Clock·The Rift Horizon: Every 4 hours, the purple rift in the sky grows larger, imposing a -1 penalty to all Wisdom saving throws for those in the city.

Background Lore

The City of Glass is a marvel of dragonborn architecture, but its crystalline structure amplifies psionic energy. The Illithid Hive Mind has targeted it for use as a massive intergalactic signal booster.

What the World Knows

An Illithid fleet is approaching to enslave the dragonborn population and the party must find their weaknesses stored on a nearby scouting vessel.
