Darryl "Blokka " Lehane is a New Zealand born resident of Australia, who has been a fan of fantasy writing for as long ashe can remember. In this month 's volume of Unearthed Spoils, he details the Void and how it might fit your game. The Void has been referred to by many names: Shadow Realm, Realm of Cold Embrace or Nothingness, Shadowfel, or Ether Space, among many others. While each fantasy world may depict this as a realm of shadows or nothingness, which in many ways mirrors a surface world, it is rarely without its own diverse cultures and creatures. Although some may think of it as a place of evil, this can be potentially a very narrow view of the realm. It is alien, or otherworldly, to the way many on the surface would live and certainly a harder place to live. Those who are born to that realm are hardy folk, able to survive in almost any environment. Bob Greyvenstein depicts the Void Walker, as it manipulatesits shadow on the side of a cliff. Whether crafted by its dezidens or simply inveigled due to a prolonged exposure in the void, otherwise mundane items may become enchanted with properties that represent the cold embrace itself, granting them magical properties. Such items often come with consequences for the wearer, so proper examination is advised before giving in to the allure of attuning to an otherworldly magic item. Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement bya warlock) Your Charisma score is 20 while you wear this amulet. It has no effect on you if your Charisma is already 20 or higher without it. In addition, you can cast the Hal ’Frezan ’s Emporium spell once
