Founding Land Owner (Downtime Activity)
Spend 1,000 gp and 30 downtime days to obtain this award, which marks you as a resident of Ylraphon. You are the owner of a 10-foot by 10-foot room in town which you can call entirely your own, which contains a bed, one chest, two chairs, and a very small table. In addition, while adventuring in the Ylraphon area, you can reduce the cost of a comfortable, wealthy, or aristocratic lifestyle by 2 gp per day (to a minimum of 1 gp per day). This award is available to characters who succeeded in bringing Orrin and Bresden back alive.

Preaching the Faith (Downtime Activity)
You take on an important role at a local temple or shrine. Choose a deity you worship. If you do not already worship a chosen deity, you must choose one worshiped by a fellow member of your party. Record your choice as part of this story award (“Local Pursuit: Preaching the Faith (Deity)”). Immediately before or after an adventure set in Ylraphon, you may spend 5 downtime days participating in or leading religious rites (such as weddings, funerals, ordinations, or rituals recognizing holy occasions). If you do so, you gain the benefits of having spent 3 days performing the Recuperating downtime activity (as described in the Player’s Handbook), and you begin your next game session with Inspiration.

Guild Delving (Downtime Activity)
Immediately before or after an adventure set in Ylraphon, you may spend up to 30 downtime days (minimum 10) to attempt to research, find, and explore some of the ruins of Outer Ylraphon in search of treasure. In the presence of the DM, roll percentile dice and add the number of days spent on this downtime activity, comparing the total to the Guild Delving Table on this page.

Student of Stone
Illsenstaad has chosen you and you alone to complete his life’s work and put his soul to rest. By spending a total of 365 downtime days (these need not be spent all at once) possessed by Illsenstaad, allowing him to tell his stories and carve them into the living rock of Hotun-Shûl, you gain the Student of Stone story award (below). If you are a dwarf, possess the Guild Artisan (mason or stonecutter) background, or are otherwise proficient in mason’s tools; you complete this in half the normal time.

Dreamwalker
Kryshilir has taught you to look beyond the veil of the world and navigate your dreams. By spending 25 downtime days, you travel to the Seven Stones and meditate under Kryshilir’s whispered guidance. Upon completing this downtime activity, you gain the Dreamwalker story award (below).

Story Awards:

Student of Stone
You have studied under the tutelage of Illsenstaad, a legendary stone giant loremaster and stone carver. You gain the benefit of the dwarven Stonecunning trait. If you already possess the Stonecunning trait, you triple your proficiency bonus instead of doubling it. In addition, you also gain proficiency in mason’s tools and the Giant language if you are not already proficient.

Dreamwalker
Your meditations have granted you the gift of foresight. Upon receiving this story award, roll a d20 and record the number rolled. Once, you can replace any attack roll, saving throw, or ability check made by you or a creature that you can see with the number you rolled. You must choose to do so before the roll. Once you have used this story award in this fashion, remove it. This story award may be earned again as often as you like, but you must complete the Dreamwalker downtime activity (above) each time and may not do so again until you no longer possess this story award.

1 Free Resu c/o the Harpers (ALCC 8.09 pg.21, Changes to Princes of the Apocalypse)
If the characters emerge from the dwarven crypts with Orcsplitter in their custody, the Harpers in area X5 confront them under the open sky. If the characters avoid area X5, the Harpers will track them and confront them elsewhere (the DM is encouraged to choose a thematically appropriate location based on the characters and their actions in the story thus far) within the next two days. They point out that Orcsplitter belongs in the hands of dwarven scholars. They’ll first appeal to the characters’ sense of altruism, but if that doesn’t work, the Harpers try to arrange for a trade that allows a single character to choose one option from a list of magic items and services in exchange for Orcsplitter:
- A silver token inlaid with a porcelain dove, good for one free resurrection of that character by a Harper cleric – no questions asked

Story Award:

Endless Bluetooth Ale
If a way was discovered to set up a supply of the blue lichen to the Yawning Portal, Durnan provides all the Bluetooth Ale the characters can drink whenever they visit. Brewed from the blue lichen grown on the skeletons of dwarves left for dead in the Stonebone Mines, bluetooth ale is a truly unique beverage. The strong dwarven-style ale is a rich sapphire color and has a faint earthy taste. While the ale lacks most of the special properties of the blue lichen, it still can turn the imbibers teeth (and bones) temporarily blue. The ale functions as an ingested poison. The drinker must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw, or their skeleton turns a dark shade of blue for 24 hours.
