In a world of resurrection magic, where people with means have lost the fear of death, Ashiok reawakens that fear among those who can afford resurrection. Ashiok believes that fear is the great equalizer. First: Who should replace Acererak? There are a few options.Īshiok, Nightmare Weaver: Ashiok is known for travelling the multiverse in search of designs for the perfect embodiment of fear. The heroes must venture through the jungle to find the Tomb of Annihilation and destroy the Soulmonger and Acererak himself. The whole land is devastated by the Death Curse, making it harder for people to resurrect, and making death saves super deadly. In Tomb of Annihilation, Acererak, an ancient lich, is powering the Soulmonger, a magical construct which consumes souls. What is the threat? Stop here if you want to avoid spoilers. Alternatively, you could have it in the Stormwreck Sea, but I like the idea of people coming from all directions to trade with this newly discovered island of Chult. It’s perfectly conceivable that there’s another island there, relatively unknown to the Sun Empire and the Brazen Coalition. To begin with: Where is Chult in Ixalan? Well, if we check out the map above, you can see there’s an area called The Inner Sea. Looking at the new Plane Shift: Ixalan booklet by James Wyatt, I’m really excited to give Tomb of Annihilation a try in Ixalan. So far, they’ve released Amonkhet, Innistrad, Zendikar, Kaladesh, Their current setting is Ixalan, a Central and South American-themed setting, full of dense jungles, pirates, conquistadors, dinosaurs, and ancient cultures.
Each PDF focuses on a different plane, with a few stats, some setting information, and new races to play as. I’ve been really happy to see Wizards of the Coast releasing a series called Plane Shift, which focuses on different MTG worlds to play D&D in.
For years, I’ve wanted a big setting book of MTG for D&D, and we’re finally seeing it. The worlds of Magic: The Gathering are ripe for the plundering for D&D.
