Regional effects

Dementlieu is altered by Saidra's presence, creating the following effects:

• Closing the Borders: While in her domain, Saidra can close or open the borders to Dementlieu at will. While the borders are closed, the countryside called Chateaufaux appears in the Mists surrounding Dementlieu. Creatures in the Mists get lost amid mazelike hedgerows and fogbanks, only to reappear on the outskirts of Port-a-Lucine 2d6 hours later.
• Empowered Actors: Humanoids add 1d8 to Charisma (Deception or Performance) checks made while wearing a mask.
• Invitation: At dawn, Saidra can choose a creature whose name she knows or that she's seen before. A simple mask and an invitation to the next Grand Masquerade appear to that creature. The letter and mask appear in an unobserved but obvious space, such as a bedside table or among gear.

If Saidra dies, these effects end immediately. The effects resume if Saidra gains a new body (see her Darklord Restoration trait).
