MET LARP SRD

The Shadowlands are treacherous and unknown, even for the most experienced necromancers. Time and space twists and folds, and things are rarely where they should be. This lifeline allows visitors to the Shadowlands to find what they seek, and if they are very lucky, it will also guide them home.

To perform this ritual, you must stir a lock of hair from a newborn child and 1 point of her Blood in a cauldron made of pewter. To complete the ritual, you drop a ball of wool yarn into the vat, binding the thread to you. Upon entering the Shadowlands, you may unwind the ball of yarn and attach the end to her right wrist. This tether grounds you, allowing you to traverse the Shadowlands with some measure of reliability. You may use the ball of yarn to return to your original location, even if you should find yourself in the Labyrinth. 

Once you have tethered yourself to the Shadowlands, you may utilize your Silver Thread to assist with a quest. Use of a Silver Thread allows you to lower the difficulty rating of any quest within the Shadowlands by one level, to a minimum of one. This cannot be used to downgrade the type of quest a level and, as such, 1 Heroic Quest would not be affected by the Silver Thread. Once you have bound yourself to a quest, you are fully invested in the outcome. However, binding yourself to a quest can be dangerous and any quest bolstered by a Silver Thread that fails results in one additional consequence for the necromancer. Once a Silver Thread has been created, it remains active until the quest is fulfilled. A necromancer may only create one Silver Thread at a time.
