ARCHON OF THE

TRIUMVIRATE

Archons are enigmatic, supernatural embodiments of

the harshest aspects of law and order. They espouse

a rigid sense of justice and deal ruthless punish-

ment to those who break the law. This nature often

aligns them with the Azorius Senate, and they are

commonly seen circling above the Azorius guildhall

astride their winged felidar mounts, soaring alongside

griffon-mounted hussars.

An archon appears as an armored humanoid figure,

nearly always mounted. Its face is usually shadowed

beneath a large hood; those who have seen beneath the

hood describe a face of celestial beauty with a stern ex-

pression and blank white eyes.

Eternal Riders. The bond between an archon and

its w inged felidar mount is so close that the two are

sometimes considered a single being, acting with a

single mind. If an archon is ever thrown from its saddle,

it can magically return to its place astride its mount in

an instant.

Immortal Nature. An archon doesn't require food,

drink, or sleep.

Eye of the Law. As a bonus action, the arch on can target a

creature it can see within 120 feet of it and determine which

laws that creature has broken in the last 24 hours.

Innate Spellcasting. The archon's innate spellcasting ability

is Wisdom (spell save DC 18, +10 to hit with spell attacks).

The archon can innately cast the following spells, requiring no

material components:

At will: calm emotions, command, compelled duel

Mount. If the arch on isn't mounted, it can use a bonus action

to magically teleport onto the creature serving as its mount,

provided the archon and its mount are on the same plane of

existence. When it teleports, the archon appears astride the

mount along with any equipment it is wearing or carrying.

While mounted and not incapacitated, the archon can't be

surprised, and both it and its mount gain advantage on Dexter·

ity saving throws. If the archon is reduced to 0 hit points while

riding its mount, the mount is reduced to 0 hit points as well.

Multiattack. The archon makes two Hammer of justice attacks.

Hammer ofjustice. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach S

ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) bludgeoni ng damage pl us 18

(4d8) force damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed

on a DC 18 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Pacifying Presence. Each creature of the archon's choice that

the archon can see within 120 feet of it must succeed on a DC

18 Wisdom saving throw, or else the target drops any weapons

it i s holding, ends its concentration on any spells or other ef·

fects, and becomes charmed by the archon for 1 minute. The

charmed creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of

each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a

creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it,

the creature is immune to the archon's Pacifying Presence for

the next 24 hours.

LEGENDARY ACTIONS

The archon can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the

options below. Only one legendary action option can be used

at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The ar·

ch on regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Rejoin Mount. If the archon isn't mounted, it magically tele-

ports to its steed and mounts it as long as the archon and its

steed are on the same plane of existence.

Smite (Costs 2 Actions). The archon makes a Hammer of jus·

tice attack, and then its mount can use it s reaction to make a

melee weapon attack.

Detention (Costs 3 Actions). The archon targets a creature it

can see within 60 feet of it. The target must succeed on a

DC 18 Charisma saving throw or be magically teleported to a

harmless demi plane until the end of the archon's next turn,

whereupon the ta rget reappears in the space it left or the

nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied.
