The Shards of the Ashwind Keep dice

The Shards of the Ashwind Keep

High up on the volcanic slopes of Mount Ashen, there sit the crumbling ruins of an ancient fortress known as the Ashwind Keep. Legends say that centuries ago, a powerful wizard tried to trap a roaring fire elemental inside a crystal vault. When the spell collided with the elemental's flames, it created a massive blast of magical, soot-filled smoke that instantly froze solid into glassy grey stones.

A clever traveling rogue exploring the ruins discovered a pocket of these unique crystals. She noticed that the dark ash specks inside the clear stone were completely frozen in place, capturing the exact moment the magical explosion happened. She carefully shaped the stone blocks into seven gaming dice and inked the numbers with a deep, midnight-black charcoal paint, creating the mysterious look you see.

If your character carries this set into your next campaign, they bring the smoky, unpredictable power of the volcanic winds:

• The Trapped Smoke: When you look closely at the dice, the tiny dark flecks look like a mini volcanic cloud caught in glass. Players say these dice roll best when your character is trying to blend into a smoky tavern, escape from a burning building, or sneak past guards at twilight.
• Ashen Shield: Because these stones were born from a giant explosion, rolling them for "Saving Throws" against fire or magical traps gives your character a sudden burst of tough luck, letting the blast slide harmlessly past you.
• The Ghostly Strike: These dice love clever tricks. When your character needs to cast an illusion spell to confuse a monster or make a quick, silent getaway, rolling these misty grey stones helps your character vanish like a puff of smoke.

Are you ready to use the smoky, ancient magic of Ashwind Keep to guide your next D&D adventure?
