Shadow of Diana

"Look into my eyes."

"What are you–

"Within them, you will find your greatest dreams and your worst nightmares. I will pull your fears from your mind. I will manifest them into reality. And I will show you the truest face of terror."

"Gods above–!"

Choosing Rite

Shadows are discernable from other Ascended, and other people, by their eyes. They are always an otherworldly color, a blend of shades and hues that entrance any beholder. These eyes hold a dark secret. Some believe that when you look into the eyes of a Shadow, your life becomes forfeit. Others say that the eyes of Shadows hold the secrets of the world. Beyond their appearance, Shadows experience frequent nightmares, often more vivid than reality.

Chosen by Diana, the Shadows are frequently perceived to be the most alien and inhuman of the Ascended. No doubt their kaleidoscopic, mystical eyes are the cause of such perceptions. The eyes themselves are believed to be gifts from Diana, known from granting you the ability to see in darkness while also being able to cause fear or incite chaos. As a Shadow, you are cursed with frequent nightmares and are quick to fear. However, you are also resilient— being able to bear great burdens upon your shoulders with little effort.

EYES OF THE NIGHT

1st-Level Feature

As an action, you can invoke the Fear that is Diana herself. You force a target that can see you within 60 feet to make a Wisdom saving throw, using Charisma as your spellcasting ability. On a failure, they are frightened until the end of your next turn.

Once you use this action, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
