In this post Lore post for the Campaign of darkness, we go into a deep dive of the Gemstone of Darkness. In the Time of Darkness campaign.
The Time of Darkness campaign is all about my homebrew campaign that takes place in a future where a single race has survived a devastating attack from an unknown entity called “The Darkness” much is not known about it other than it seeks to take and consume everything around it.

The races came together to determine how to take out this darkness that was slowly taking out the world. An Eladrin and Dragonborn were able to divine a seal that could trap the darkness. The seal has a dynamic cost payment which was why it was thought to be the best way to save the world. What you put into the seal is used to match the power required to seal the entity.

This turned out to backfire and required so much from all the races that imbued themselves into the seal. It could have been anyone that remained. In this choice, it was the human race that ended up being the only race remaining. This loss of knowledge, history and arcana understanding that humans previously leaned on the other races to handle. This gave rise to a new class type called the Tech Magi. Who take their knowledge of creating and tinkering to combine that with magic that was left behind. Class info coming soon! stay tuned!

The gemstone used over a thousand years ago is now showing signs of cracks and sharding in extremely small portions which are believed to be the source of the escaped tendrils.

The question now is, if the sealing was all in vain why was it done. What would have happened if it wasn’t the humans that remain? What if there was another way? The Techmagi are unable to solve it now and need help from the other past races. Thus the Mirror of Reality was created as a last-ditch effort.
