The Heartstone of the Deep Ocean Trench

Deep beneath the crashing waves, past the coral reefs and the glowing jellyfish, sits the Sapphire Trench. This underwater canyon is ruled by an ancient Sea King. At the very bottom of the trench is a magical geyser that shoots out frozen, concentrated ocean magic instead of hot water. Over thousands of years, this pressure turns the seawater into flawless, glowing blue crystals.

A brave merfolk warrior swam down into the dark trench to protect the kingdom from a giant, regular sea monster. As a reward for his bravery, the Sea King handed him a single, perfect block of this ocean crystal. The warrior used a sharp shark tooth to cut the stone into a twenty-sided die so he could take the sea's luck onto the dry land. He used dark, waterproof ink made from a giant squid to paint the numbers, creating the cool look you see.

If your character carries this die into your next campaign, it brings the powerful, flowing magic of the deep sea:

• The Tidal Core: When you look closely at the die, the deep blue center looks like a whirlpool frozen in time. Players say this die rolls best when your character is casting water spells, sailing a pirate ship, or exploring misty swamps.
• The Water Shield: Because this stone was born under the pressure of the entire ocean, rolling it for physical "Constitution" or "Strength" checks gives your character a sudden burst of luck, helping you resist heavy attacks just like water absorbs a blow.
• Deep-Sea Vision: The spirits of the ocean trench are used to the dark. When your character is exploring a pitch-black dungeon or trying to spot a hidden trap underwater, rolling this blue stone unlocks a sudden flash of sharp perception.

Are you ready to use the deep sea magic of the Sapphire Trench to guide your next D&D adventure?
