For Whom This Character Is
This model is ideal for Dungeon Masters (DMs) who thrive on stories of hidden lineages, supernatural powers, and creeping mysteries. Perfect for campaigns centered on personal quests, forbidden magic, or hybrid heritage characters. If your players love intricate backstories with moral ambiguity and supernatural twists, Liana will seamlessly integrate as an enigmatic wanderer blending healing light with ominous shadows — think of her as a customizable PC or NPC that adds depth to family secrets or shadow realms.
Close D&D Analogs
- Similar to Tiefling or Shadar-kai races from D&D 5e (e.g., from "Player's Handbook" or "Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes"), with shadow-stepping abilities and infernal or shadowy ancestry.
- Story vibes reminiscent of characters like those in "Critical Role" campaigns or D&D adventures such as "Out of the Abyss" (underdark shadows and ancient evils) or "Rime of the Frostmaiden" (isolated villages, visions, and awakening horrors). Her dagger could tie into mechanics like a Hexblade Warlock pact or a cursed artifact.
Where to Use and How to Launch Hooks
- Where to Use: Place Liana in ancient forests, shadowy ruins, or twilight realms. She's excellent as a quest NPC in villages, a reluctant ally in dark woods, or a harbinger if her visions draw the party into larger threats — ideal for low-level wilderness adventures or high-stakes prophecy arcs.
- How to Launch Hooks:
- Hook 1: Liana approaches the party in a storm-sheltered grove, her shadows flickering unnaturally. She offers healing in exchange for help finding a "lost coin" – but it leads to visions of the cracked seal, pulling players into a prophecy of an awakening dragon. (CR adjustment: Scale her as a CR 1-3 NPC with stealth bonuses.)
- Hook 2: The party stumbles upon Liana mid-vision, gasping about a "devouring maw." Assisting her reveals her father's dagger, which glows near hidden doors – but using it risks summoning watchful shadows that stalk the group (add a minor curse mechanic for tension).
- Hook 3: As a encounter twist, Liana vanishes into shadows during combat, reappearing with cryptic warnings. Challenge players to a perception test; success uncovers her coin, failure awakens minor shadow minions tied to the breaking seal. Bonus: Use her for side quests involving family heirlooms or shadow planes.

I didn't call the shadows. They called me. Now they're whispering your name. Be careful what you seek — or it might seek you first.
