Not all paths are chosen - some are claimed. A mantle taken up in a moment of purpose can shape a life, but only through trial and triumph does it become mastery. The traditions found here are more than techniques; they are ways of being, carried by those who refuse to remain ordinary.

Welcome to Mantles and Masteries, a series showcasing individual subclasses compatible with 5E.

This is the seventh installment of the Will and Weave series, a series devoted to the interplay between mortal will and the deeper currents of magic that bind reality together. These subclasses do not merely grant new abilities; they define relationships with power itself - whether seized, bargained, cultivated, or endured - and the cost of leaving one’s mark upon the world.

Presented here is the Oath of the Incarnate Spirit, a Paladin subclass.

THEY SURVIVE THE WINTER. THEY SIMPLY CANNOT REMEMBER SUMMER.

Every year, in the weeks before the solstice, an ancient and hungry entity known as the Hunger moves south along the winter road. It feeds on what it calls warmth, which is not temperature but memory. It completely drains the specific, embodied recollection of physical comfort, sunlight, and the feeling of being warm on a cold day. The people it passes survive physically unharmed, but they are experientially diminished, left with a grey flatness where their warmest memories used to be.

This year, something has changed. The Hunger arrived in the village of Coldhollow fourteen days early and refused to move on. It has been feeding every night, and the village is running out of memories to offer. Multiple residents have been visited so many times that they have lost the very concept of warmth, and they are beginning to forget the faces of the people they love. Tonight, the Hunger will target your players unless they act first.

Hunger Season is a winter horror adventure in a distinct Sword & Sorcery mode. It is a slow, cold tale focused on the profound grief of progressive loss rather than standard monster-slaying. To save the village, players must travel north to a frozen lake called Veth's Eye to uncover why a natural phenomenon has suddenly turned pathological.

Adventure Features:

• Perfect for a Single Session: Calibrated for 3 to 5 players at levels 4 to 6, providing a complete 4 to 5-hour experience with no preparation required beyond reading the document.

• Memories as a Resource: The players arrive with full stores of warm memories, making them highly attractive to the Hunger. Conventional combat is useless against a non-physical phenomenon. In fact, attacking it allows the Hunger to opportunistically steal your memories. Players must use their minds, their empathy, or offer their own cherished recollections to survive.

• The Visceral Horror of Emptiness: Interact with deeply affected villagers, including a mother who can no longer remember her daughter's name and an elder frantically reciting the final fragments of his life's comfort out loud before they disappear.

• The Mysteries of Veth's Eye: Investigate a massive, glowing amber dome of memory-light frozen into the lake, containing the final output of a deceased symbiotic entity.

• Poignant Resolution Paths: Solve the crisis by manually distributing forty-three delicate memory-vessels along the southern road, sending out a massive psychological burst that floods the entire region with someone else's summer, or securing a future successor.

• SRD 5.1 Compatible: Fully compatible with the 5th Edition Systems Reference Document, ready to drop seamlessly into any winter campaign.

All of them are irreplaceable. The decision of what to do with them is yours.

Doctor Draconian has found a way to turn sanctuary into conquest. When the ancient magi-science tyrant attacks High Desert Shelter, Anasazi must protect the young metahumans in her care while facing a weapon designed to counter both her ghostlike intangibility and her stone-dense strength. This character introduction issue reveals Anasazi's origin, powers, values, and role as leader of The Untouchables through a battle where victory depends on trust, consent, and the courage to let frightened people keep ownership of their own gifts. To save her family, Anasazi must prove what her name means in action: not unreachable because she stands apart, but because she teaches the vulnerable how to become impossible to claim.

The sky above is ruled by memory and madness.

Among the Derelict Stars carries the Deadwake universe into high orbit, to the silent shipwrecks, abandoned colonies, and dead warships that became tombs when the Feedback Cascade tore through the network. Out here the Cognitive Static runs thick and concentrated, a distilled poison heavy with the final, screaming moments of the crews who died inside these hulls. The salvage is priceless. The void is patient. And it does not forget.

This sourcebook gives you everything to run high-stakes expeditions into the orbital graveyard, whether your table favors slow-burn isolation horror or explosive zero-gravity firefights. Plan the journey, ration your dwindling air and fuel, breach a tomb, and pray your crew holds together long enough to carry the prize home.

What's Inside

• Rules for the void: zero-gravity movement and combat, vacuum hazards, and an expanded salvage economy built on barter, factional heat, and the lure of irreplaceable pre-Cascade technology.
• Concentrated horror: systems for Cognitive Static escalation, hull-deep paranoia, and the slow psychological erosion of long isolation.
• New and expanded factions: corporate survey teams, orbital cults, scavenger unions, rogue AI conclaves, and the secret societies waging a shadow war over the dead.
• Relic generation tables: assemble one-of-a-kind treasures and cursed, unstable Heretical Tech, each carrying its own story and its own price.
• A field guide to the ghosts: Cognitive Static phenomena, psionic echo manifestations, and the orbital mutations and ailments the void inflicts on those who survive it.
• Ready-to-run sites: fully keyed sample tombs, including the haunted Vault of Bone-Echo and the nanite-infested Ellipsys Array Prime, each with roleplaying hooks and a matching miniatures scenario.
• Campaign frameworks: from a single salvage run to a sprawling tomb-chain campaign, plus drop-in tools to inject orbital missions into any existing game.

Calibrate your tether-lines, run a sanity check on your crew, and breach the hull. The ghosts are real, the data is priceless, and the void is waiting.

This sourcebook is a supplement and requires additional products to play. For RPG play, the Deadwake Core Rulebook is required. For miniatures play, the Deadwake Miniatures Rules are required. Content compatible with both formats is clearly marked throughout.

The cliff road ends at the edge. Below, if you know where to look, there's a way down. And if someone's already using it, that's your problem now.

Breaker's Edge & The Hidden Cove is a two-map coastal battle collection by Mimicsmaps, built as a multi-level Foundry VTT scene so your players can move seamlessly between the dramatic clifftop above and the secret cove hidden beneath it. Two variants of the hidden cove give you the same location in completely different states, one occupied by smugglers mid-operation, one quiet, sandy, and waiting.

Whatever brought your players to this coastline, the story goes both ways. Up top, and down below.

What's Included:

• 2 multi-level scenes — clifftop and hidden cove in each
• Smuggler's Cave variant — dock, rowboat, cargo, campfire, 5 torch lights
• Sandy Cove variant — clean beach, undisturbed, 1 light source
• Walls and lighting pre-configured on both scenes
• 4K ungridded map images for all three maps
• System agnostic — works with D&D 5e, Pathfinder, and any tabletop RPG

The Maps:

Breaker's Edge — Clifftop (40×40)
A rugged coastal cliff where the land runs out and the sea takes over. Rocky outcrops, crashing waves, and a path that winds dangerously close to the edge. Perfect for lighthouse ruins, shipwreck investigations, cliff ambushes, and any encounter where the drop is part of the danger. With 3 Varrients, Ruined Light house, Crashed ships, and Night

The Hidden Cove — Smuggler's Cave (32×26)
Someone has been using this cove for a long time. A wooden dock juts into the sheltered water, a rowboat bobs at its end, and crates of cargo line the cave walls beside a dying campfire. Five pre-configured torch lights give it the kind of warm, flickering atmosphere that makes players immediately suspicious. This operation is either ongoing, or was interrupted very recently.

The Hidden Cove — Sandy Cove (32×26)
The same cove, undisturbed. A clean sweep of sand, calm water, and no sign of recent occupation. Whether it was never found, recently abandoned, or simply waiting, that's for your story to decide.

Multi-Level Scene

Both scenes use Foundry VTT's multi-level elevation system. The clifftop and the cove are stacked in a single scene, players on the cliff see the cliff, players in the cove see the cove, and the GM sees both. Run the approach across the cliffs, then transition your players down into the cove as the encounter unfolds. No scene switching required.

Map Details:

• Clifftop: 40×40 grid squares
• Hidden Cove: 32×26 grid squares
• Grid: 100px per square (5ft scale)
• Walls: 176 (Smuggler's Cave) / 166 (Sandy Cove)
• Lights: 5 torches (Smuggler's Cave) / 1 (Sandy Cove)
• Foundry VTT: Multi-level, v12+ recommended
• System agnostic — works with any tabletop RPG

Perfect For:

• Smuggling operations, heists, and contraband investigations
• Pirate campaigns and coastal adventure
• Shipwreck survivor scenarios
• Chase scenes from the clifftop to the cove below
• Any campaign set near the sea
