Water, the one element required for life to survive and thrive; Paladins who have taken the Oath of Water understand this one universal fact and strive to bring life to barren wastelands. They are the first to brave the lifeless environs of the world and thus followed and supported by many, from all walks of life.
Tenets of Water
The tenets of the Oath of Water are not found in dusty old tomes or even spoken by those faithful to the water deities, these tenets are already present within each and every living being (should they stop and listen). It is ancient wisdom, predating civilization and even the formative world, it is an innate knowledge present in all water and thus, in life itself.
Share the Gift. Do not concern yourself with the quarrels of ordinary humanoidkind, there are no sides to take when it comes to basic survival. Share water with anyone and everyone you meet, create lasting bonds and encourage chivalry and community, for everyone needs water to survive.
Keep Natural Balance. When encountering an environmental oddity such as a bacterial microcosm subsisting on various elements without the need for water, do not interfere even if it would mean increasing water’s presence in the world. Water is wise and knows that without balance there is no life.
Restore and Defend. When it comes to providing water and restoring an environment, a paladin taking the Oath of Water is required to stay in the area and defend a new source of water from those who would stop the flow or prevent others from partaking in its abundance. Once a source is secured by those who would protect and share the water, the Paladin may move on.
Find the Blessed. Find those individuals in the world who had once perished by drowning but somehow, survived. Whether they know it or not, they are imbued with special innate wisdom and a direct connection to the elemental plane of water. By directly mentoring and converting these blessed people, they will bring life to the barren wastelands of the world.
Oath Spells
You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed.
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options:
Purify Souls. As an action, you can purify the blood of your allies, removing the Poisoned condition and 1 level of Exhaustion from yourself and every ally within 30 feet of you.
Water’s Blessing. As an action, you can summon healing mists, you and every ally within 30 feet of you is affected as if by the cure wounds spell for the maximum amount.
Aquarian Tendencies
Beginning at 7th level, you find you are at home in the water. Once per long rest, for 1 hour’s duration, a paladin of water is able to breathe underwater as if affected by the water breathing spell. In addition, while fully submerged in water, the paladin moves at normal speed and all armor, weapons, and gear are treated as if light as a feather for the duration. Additionally, while submerged, attacks on the paladin are made with disadvantage.
Emotional Wave
Starting at 15th level, you have the ability to change the tide of a battle by directly affecting the emotions of the combatants. Roll 1d4, 1-2 = allies morale boosted, attacks are made with advantage, 3-4 = enemies morale drops, attacks are made with disadvantage. This effect lasts for 1 minute and requires concentration. Emotional Wave can be performed once per long rest and does not affect aberrations, constructs, elementals, or undead.
Avatar of Water
Upon reaching level 20, you channel the very power of water through your being and are able to control water for up to 1d4x10 minutes per long rest. In addition, you are able to perform water walk or water breathing at will indefinitely.
AAW Games announces Aventyr Adventures, a free blog-series for 5E on Adventureaweek.com
Aventyr Adventures is a new, system-agnostic series (with D&D 5e compatible content) designed for both players and GMs. These blog entries are 100% free to use along with existing Aventyr Campaign Setting content.
Explore Aventyr Adventures and discover an exciting world where nature struggles to survive under the onslaught of so-called civilization, primal warriors summon powerful totems, and ancient secrets in the sky, sea, and depths of the earth wait to be discovered!
Aventyr Adventures starts off in the Disputed Territories of Aventyr, a lawless and chaotic realm where multiple powers vie for control over strategic locations and limited resources.
The journey begins at the Wayward Inn, a roadside stopover on the way to greater lands. Food and water here are limited and going for many times above standard cost.
Recent war has shattered the Chonian people, with survivors now roaming the scrub plains, raiding and pillaging as they go. Rumors persist of a powerful witch in the forest to the east, orc hordes in the mountains to the south, and a Baevonian army gathering to the north. Although hearsay, these tales are driving travelers west, to Lake Chonia, where they may replenish their water reserves and seek shelter from the gathering storm.
This shared story may take you to Lake Chonia and into the ancient Grekian Ruins, or perhaps your adventuring group wants to investigate the rumors of a witch to the east; no matter which path you choose, there’s danger abound and only the strong survive in the lawless lands of Aventyr.
The Aventyr Campaign Setting is a 100% free-to-use setting available for use in any game system with some statistics compatible with the world’s most popular roleplaying game.

Lake Chonia
Lake Chonia, in Aventyr, was once the site of a Grekia, a thriving, desert metropolis populated by great artisans and architects, poets and linguists, mages and sages, mathematicians and theologians.
One day, a great rain came to the desert, a rain which lasted for 92 suns and 92 dark moons. It flowed through the mountains, the canyons, and eventually, even the dry desert filled with the gathering rains.
At the lowest point of the Chonian Desert, in an ancient elongated-graze impact crater, the water pooled, first a puddle, then a pond, and eventually, after weeks of deluge where “air became rare and water fell like rivers from the sky”, Lake Chonia, was formed. And under the natural force of these otherworldly rains, the great knowledge, culture, and peoples of Grekia, were lost. Some say, it was the will of the gods, but for what purpose or punishment, it is unknown.
Welcome to Aventyr Adventures! A system agnostic series (with some D&D 5e) designed for GMs and players to enjoy the exploration of new lands together. These blog entries are 100% free for you to use along with existing Aventyr Campaign Setting content.
Explore and discover Aventyr, an exciting world where nature struggles to survive under the onslaught of so-called civilization, primal warriors summon powerful totems, and ancient secrets in the sky, sea, and depths of the earth wait to be discovered!
Over the centuries, with ever-increasing warmer regional temperatures, Lake Chonia began to shrink in size.
The land itself has grown warmer, due to the Shard of the Sun’s increased proximity to Aventyr.
Present-day Lake Chonia has mostly dried up and is a but a remnant of her former self.
With the receding waters, the Ruins of Grekia have begun to reveal themselves and their grand treasures, granting adventurers and explorers the chance to glimpse and thieve away whatever is left of the once-great civilization. Would-be-treasure-hunters beware! There are more than just treasures and knowledge-laced tomes hidden in these ruins, for there are ancient evils, undead spirits, and Grekian experiments which broke free after the fall of Grekia and now roam the underground ruins and deep waters.
Rocky Badlands & Scrub Plains
Traveling through the dry, rocky badlands and scrub plains around Lake Chonia is a dangerous task in and of itself. There are deadly creatures, horrifying monsters, and brazen bandits, and if those don’t kill a traveler, the lack of food and water will. In the rocky badlands near the mountains are additional hazards, including small rocky cliffs, canyons, deadfalls, and more. The majority of the scrub plains are relatively flat, although some geographical and humanoid-made hazards do exist.

Hunger & Thirst
Drought and famine have struck former Chonia hard this year, due in part to the proximity of the Shard of the Sun (a fragment of the sun), circling the planet on a much tighter orbit. In addition, the cost to proxies of the gods to channel energy to this desolate area is too much and thus, once per week, a suitable spellcaster may only request a small amount of food and water.
Create Food and Water (within former Chonia)
Note: A spellcaster may only attempt this spell once per week whilst in this region.
LEVEL 3rd CASTING TIME 1 Action RANGE/AREA 30 ft COMPONENTS V, S DURATION Instantaneous SCHOOL Conjuration ATTACK/SAVE None DAMAGE/EFFECT Creation
You create 9 pounds of food (rations) and 9 gallons of water on the ground or in containers within range, enough to sustain one humanoid for 1 week or seven humanoids for 1 day. The food is bland but nourishing and can be kept, without spoiling, for a period of 14 days. The water is clean and doesn’t go bad.
Finding Natural Sources of Water
Water is scarce and difficult to find in Former Chonia. By roaming a 2d4+2 mile radius, for 1d2+1 days, and with a successful DC 20 Wisdom (Survival) check, one can find a spring to rehydrate and replenish waterskins. There are only four such springs to find in the natural desert valley framing Lake Chonia.
Food & Water Requirements
Food
PCs need one pound of food per day
PCs can make food last longer by eating half as much, which counts as half a day without eating
PCs can go 3 + Constitution modifier days without food, after which doing a day without eating causes an automatic level of exhaustion
A normal day of eating resets the count of days without food to zero
Water
PCs need one gallon of water per day, two if the weather is hot
PCs that drink only half the required amount must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or suffer a level of exhaustion each day
PCs that drink less than half automatically suffer a level of exhaustion
If the character already has one or more levels of exhaustion, the character takes two levels in either case
Exhaustion
Some Special Abilities and environmental Hazards, such as starvation and the long-term Effects of freezing or scorching temperatures, can lead to a Special condition called exhaustion. Exhaustion is measured in six levels. An effect can give a creature one or more levels of exhaustion, as specified in the effect’s description.
Exhaustion Effects
Level / Effect
1 / Disadvantage on Ability Checks
2 / Speed halved
3 / Disadvantage on Attack rolls and Saving Throws
4 / Hit point maximum halved
5 / Speed reduced to 0
6 / Death
If an already exhausted creature suffers another effect that causes exhaustion, its current level of exhaustion increases by the amount specified in the effect’s description.
A creature suffers the effect of its current level of exhaustion as well as all lower levels. For example, a creature suffering level 2 exhaustion has its speed halved and has disadvantage on Ability Checks.
An effect that removes exhaustion reduces its level as specified in the effect’s description, with all exhaustion Effects ending if a creature’s exhaustion level is reduced below 1.
Finishing a Long Rest reduces a creature’s exhaustion level by 1, provided that the creature has also ingested some food and drink.

Random Encounter Table Rocky Badlands & Scrub Plains of Former Chonia D&D 5th Edition, levels 1-4*
Circle during the day and investigate the party and their equipment at night (1d2 items lost or 1d2 damage suffered per day/night) before they flee but continue to follow at a distance, harassing the adventurers.
Watches the party for 1d100 minutes in fairly close proximity then withdraws to a distance of ¼ mile to watch for another 2d100 minutes then withdraws into Ogre Canyon.
This group of kobolds only attack the party if they can get a jump on them. If not, they follow from a distance, waiting for a good opportunity to steal from, kill, or capture party members.
This lamia, named Swewolt, will attempt to convince the party he is here to assist them as a guide (Persuasion +5). Once he guides them to a cave (preferably on the second night of travel), he will attempt to surprise the group by attacking them while they sleep (and he keeps watch). He uses Intoxicating Touch on each member of the party, one-by-one, in an attempt to throw off their balance in combat.
Rexal, Dexal, and Mexal are half-ogre triplets who roam the desert, abandoned by their ogre parents now living in Ogre Canyon. If a 1 is rolled on number appearing, Rexal spots the party from afar and runs off, seeking his two twin brothers 30% chance to find Dexal or Mexal, 20% chance to find both.
Chonians who have fallen on hard times sometimes become raiders, taking anything they can from others in order to survive or help their families survive. Not all who raid are evil, many do this simply out of necessity to survive and 60% of this group are just such a type with 30% of those “on the fence” about this lifestyle, who can be convinced with a DC 14 Charisma (Persuasion) check to cease attacking the party. If this succeeds, and the party shares some food or water, there’s even the chance these individuals may invite the characters to the makeshift Chonian village of K’Tarik just above Ogre Canyon. If this occurs, the bandit captain and other raiders turn on their friend(s), attempting to kill them to prevent the location of their village being revealed (especially since there is a major water source located there).
This ogre hails from Ogre Canyon and has traveled out into the lowlands in search of food, it has tired of the flavor of hiding Chonians and roaming orcs, it wants something juicier, perhaps near Lake Chonia there will be fat prey.
A band of warriors from a tribe known as De’WeWelgo’ao-on which translates, in Klavekian, to the Dogs of the Wild or “Wild Dogs”. They frequently dare one another to do brazen things such as sneaking into a camp of sleeping humanoids and stealing all their weapons or setting tents on fire before fleeing and attacking with ranged weapons, taunting their prey to come out and into the night.
These swarms pepper the area directly around Lake Choniabut sometimes work their way out to more remote regions, following the migration of overland mammals.
These lizards appear without warning, running fast and haphazardly across the rough terrain. They leap through the air to attack as they run, continuing on past the group then returning randomly to do similar attacks over the next 1d4+1 hours or until slain.
A group of Chonians are on their way to K’Tarik, a secret makeshift Chonian village built after the Baevonians decimated their forces in open combat on these very plains. With a successful DC 18 Charisma (Persuasion) check, the party can convince the Chonians to take them along. K’Tarik is near Ogre Canyon, a dangerous place, but with the Chonians leading, the group makes good time and may even make it there safely. According to the Chonians, the village has a source of fresh water.
Slow-moving and wandering the wastes, this mummy originated in a tomb built into the side of the nearby mountain range. A group of Chonian raiders disturbed the tomb and the mummy emerged, to the horror of the fleeing raiders. The mummy wanders, searching those who disturbed its slumber and killing anyone in its path.
The Druid of the Chonian Badlands approaches the adventurers in hopes they will assist her in healing the lake via a quest for a wondrous magic item, a decanter of endless water. One is rumored to be on a dead explorer who perished deep in an orc cave in the mountains where hundreds or possibly thousands of orcs live and roam. The quest is very dangerous and she will do whatever she can to help make it a success including guiding them to Lake Chonia and even possibly accompanying them for a time.
This spirit is LN and is confused, thinking Grekia still exists. She will try and communicate in her language, reaching out to touch a character then accidentally causing Life Drain (1d6+2 Necrotic damage) to occur. It will continue to follow the group and touch them until slain.
*For higher levels, or as needed, use the Desert Encounters tables in XGtE.
Location: Lake Chonia

With the lack of water, Lake Chonia has become the obvious destination for the majority of animals, monsters, and humanoids dwelling in this region. That also makes the lake a choice place for bandits and raiders to ambush travelers or would-be-treasure-hunters looking to delve into the Ruins of Grekia.

Hungry crocs surface, one at a time, to observe potential meals, waiting until someone wanders close to or into the water before they strike from the murky depths below.
11-20
1d4 giant toads
Preferring to emerge at night, these fat fellows leap from water to shore to snatch a meal and then back again to drag mammals (sometimes humanoids) underwater and drown them before they are consumed. If at night, a strange chorus of deep croaks sing some weaker-willed humanoids to sleep.
A merfolk, who arrived here using a gate to the ocean, asks for the party’s help: Mini-Dungeon issue #5, use adventure Chaos & Corruption in the Briny Depths. The merfolk carries a small crystal as the gatekey to trigger the same portal the dragon eel Devnarinath seeks to use to return to the oceans of Aventyr (see last entry).
These mated large beasts roam the waters of Lake Chonia, brought here via the same gate as the great dragon eel, Devnarinath (see last entry). They hunt for prey below the waters and only surface to observe potential prey on the shore then submerge in wait.
A tribe of sahaughin live in the ruins beneath the waters of the lake. Those foolhardy enough to venture into the ruins will certainly encounter more of the tribe, now numbering well over 200. These scouts observe the party then report back to their base, bringing 1d4+1 additional sahaughin upon their return (if not spotted/stopped).
A sea hag riding upon a giant toad with his sister not far behind, this wretched old woman, named MayanonthornTwellbanath, seeks to make a party member swoon and drag them under the water with her. She will approach the party, preferably at night, using Illusory Appearance to appear as a young woman, a spirit of Grekia who is lost and looking to return home. She says she is “the keeper of a great treasure, lost beneath the water” in an attempt to lure greedy fools into the lake. If that fails, she uses Horrific Appearance followed by Death Glare on a character before dragging them under the water and deep into the Ruins of Grekia where their heart, eyes, and pituitary gland are consumed by the witch, the remains given to her two giant toad allies.
These voracious fish swarm prey so rapidly, within a few minutes only gnawed bones are left floating in the water. A ring of protection is found in the belly of one of the fishes (3% chance to locate if fish are butchered, 55% chance if all are eaten).
The skulls of ancient Grekians are used as shells by these strange crabs who carry a disease known as the White Ghost Shivers. There is a 10% chance per round the crabs will use Hive Mind to call another 1d2 bone crabs which arrive in 1d4 rounds.
These crabs like to rush attack a group using Whip-Claw to grapple their opponents. Sometimes other, larger enemies follow a cast of garroter crabs, waiting from afar for potential prey to be grappled before moving in to steal the kill.
Glass gators like to hide, nearly invisible, just beneath the surface of the water, remaining motionless until unsuspecting prey either dips into the water or dives in which is when the gator strikes using Lunge or Standing Leap. If either fail, the glass gator uses Silt Cloud to hide, change location, and try again.
This woman was murdered long after the fall of Grekia, she was betrayed by her lover, and during a quarrel, attempted suicide, but her lover dragged her back to shore only to shove a dagger into her throat and toss her corpse to the crocodiles in Lake Chonia. The corpse was gnawed on a bit, but got caught in some debris and sunk under the Ruins of Grekia until it sprung to undeath and has been haunting these shores and waters ever since. The drowned maiden uses Reel to draw characters to her then uses Kiss, then attempts to pull them underwater.
Note: Deadly encounter, certain death for characters levels 1-4.
The powerful dragon eel Devnarinath dwells in the deepest, darkest part of Lake Chonia. As the water of the lake continues to evaporate, the dragon eel has attempted the triggering of an ancient gateway, hidden deep underwater in the Ruins of Grekia, which leads to a location in the sea on Aventyr. Devnarinath got here via this gateway around 150 years ago and hasn’t cared to return until the lake started to shrink. If he can’t get the gateway to work, he waits for a storm where he can use Storm Glide to leave the area and head to the nearest source of stable water. Devnarinath kills anyone interfering with his quest to reactivate the gate. He may form a temporary alliance with someone offering to help (so long as they are truly sincere).
*For higher levels, or as needed, use the Desert and/or Underwater Encounters tables in XGtE.
Location: Ruins of Grekia
The Ruins of Grekia are 90% underwater, the small amount above water are mostly looted. Those who dive underwater or can subsist without oxygen for long periods of time may explore the full extent of the ruins, which are rumored to contain vast treasures including many priceless works of art, books and tablets with great amounts of lore, and the fabled Grekian Runestones which contain magic and were worn by nearly all who once lived here. Of course, there are also tales of powerful and dangerous beasts beneath these waters, some which have only been seen here, in Lake Chonia.

Markum’s Journal
We were able to coax enough rations from the owner of the Inn to last us several days, but even without Rizri’s ability to forage, we should be able to hunt down that bone merchant before we choke down the last dry biscuit.
This land is worse than the reports said. Something tells me Captain Bohacz knew the reports were outdated. Why else would he send such a pack of misfits to hunt down someone like this. Likely he didn’t think any of us would survive. The land is so dry and hot, he might end up right. Even the scrub is thin and cracking. The only animal tracks Rizri can find are taking us to the large lake we spotted when we crested the rise yesterday. It looks like it’s been drying up for a few years. There are some ruins set around it and poking up out of the water. If that’s the only water source, that’s where the game’ll be, where the people around here will likely congregate, and then you’ll get the bandits. And worse. I hope Stok sobers up soon.
