Eberron Rising From the Last War

Restoring the Mark. Though she takes great pleasure

in fighting the dragons and elves who destroyed her

ancestors, Lady Illmarrow has a more important goal:

restoring her dragonmark and unlocking godlike pow­

ers. The agents of the Emerald Claw who serve her fight

either for the good of Karrnath or for personal gain,

but Illmarrow cares for nothing except increasing her

necromantic knowledge and finding a way to restore her

lost mark.

LADY ILLMARROW AND THE BLOOD OF VOL

The Blood of Vol and Lady Ill marrow are both legacies of

the line of Vol, but they aren't one and the same. As far as

the world knows, the line of Vol was exterminated. Follow­

ers of the Blood of Vol who have heard of Lady lllmarrow

believe that she's a champion of their faith, but they don't

worship or serve her. And the powers of priests of the

Blood ofVol don't come from Lady lllmarrow.

ACTIONS

Chill Touch (Cantrip). Ranged Spell Attack: + 15 to hit, range 120

ft., one creature. Hit: 18 (4d8) necrotic damage, and the target

can't regain hit points until the start of Ill marrow's next turn.

If the target is undead, it also has disadvantage on attack rolls

against lllmarrow until the end of her next turn.

Paralyzing Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft.,

one creature. Hit: 13 (3d6 + 3) slashing damage plus 10 (3d6)

cold damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 20 Consti­

tution saving throw or be paralyzed for l minute. The target

can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, end­

ing the effect on itself on a success.

Poison Breath (Recharge 5-6). Ill marrow exhales poisonous gas

in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC

20 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes

35 (10d6) poison damage and is poisoned for l minute. While

poisoned in this way, the creature can't regain hit points. On a

successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and

isn't poisoned.

A humanoid reduced to 0 hit points by this damage dies and

rises at the start of Ill marrow's next turn as a zombie (see its

entry in the Monster Manual). The zombie acts immediately

after lllmarrow in the initiative count and is permanently under

her command, following her verbal orders.

LEGENDARY ACTIONS

Ill marrow can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the op­

tions below. Only one legendary action option can be used at

a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Ill marrow

regains spent legendary actions at the start of her turn.

Cantrip. Ill marrow casts a cantrip.

Paralyzing Claw. lllmarrow uses her Paralyzing Claw.

Frightening Presence (Costs 2 Actions). Ill marrow targets up

to three creatures she can see within 30 feet of her. Each

target must succeed on a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw or be

frightened for l minute. A frightened target can repeat the

saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect

on itself on a success. If a target's saving throw is successful

or the effect ends for it, the target is immune to I II marrow's

Frightening Presence for the next 24 hours.

Poison Breath (Costs 3 Actions). lllmarrow recharges her Poi­

son Breath and uses it.
