Regional effects

Sithicus is altered by Lord Soth's presence, creating the following effects:

• Closing the Borders: While in his domain, Lord Soth can close or open the borders to Sithicus. While the borders are closed, purple flames fill the Mists surrounding Sithicus. A creature that enters the Mists for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there takes 5 (1d10) Fire damage plus 5 (1d10) Necrotic damage.
• Fearless Soldiers: Undead allies of Lord Soth have Immunity to the Frightened condition.
• Guilt of Sithicus: Few sleep soundly in Sithicus. Whenever a creature other than Lord Soth and his allies finishes a Long Rest in the domain, the creature must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or gain 1 Exhaustion level.

If Lord Soth dies, these effects end immediately.
