Banned: Stygia
The frozen, inhospitable wilderness of Stygia is home to many vile creatures as well as an
uncountable number from the Material Plane. Desperate criminals and those condemned
to death may pray to Levistus, the ruler of Stygia, for freedom; should he answer, they
are transported here. For reasons known only to you and him, you are forever banned
from setting foot within Stygia. Perhaps you redeemed too many souls, or maybe you were
discovered to be in league with Geryon, the former ruler of this realm; regardless, Levistus
has closed this layer of the Nine Hells to you. You can’t participate in further adventures in
this place.
A character with this story award may visit other areas of the Nine Hells but has been
banned from Stygia.

Story Awards:
In Search of Her
You have found and read the journal of Tho’Guroh, containing information on how to find a hag’s dark lair. Whenever you succeed in finding a hag’s lair, a trail of thin mist appears, leading up to the location you are looking for. While the mist is present, you hear whispers of a very convincing old woman telling you to get “samples” from your party members, like a strand of hair, spit, dead skin, fingernails, etc. Remove this story award when you meet Jenny Greenteeth.

Clingy Jelly!
You spared the life of an oblex spawn. As a token of appreciation, it separates a part of itself and places a thin translucent layer of star-shaped green goo on your forehead. Whenever you are in combat, the goo stretches and changes shape, becoming a horn. Whenever you die, its shape changes into a small, flat skull. You can remove this story award by casting lesser restoration on yourself.

Barbarian. You have shown willful disregard for the preservation of knowledge in Mantor's Library. The librarians remember your callous disregard for the books and you have disadvantage on any ability checks made to convince the librarians to assist you.
