The Iyr Specurem

Iyr Titans

When the Iyr come to the world in their invasions, they do not just bring their glass and crystal armies. Through their holes in the universe, they drag titanic machines of war. Each of these is built to crack fortresses, burn cities, and crush kingdoms.

Each Titan has several locations that can be targeted. You can either have your players choose a location to target, or use the table provided in the statblock.

Specurem

The Specurem are flying titans built in the image of the long-dead wyrms of the Iyr's home universe. They are the grandest of the Iyr's horrors, each taking decades or centuries of effort by the Iyr's greatest shapers. Iyr Warmasters pull them through rifts to use as command vehicles and mobile fortresses. They, just like the other titans, have no mind of their own: if not controlled, they will not move, even to defend themselves.

The Desolation, Part 1: Creatures of the Desolation

The Desolation

The Desolation is an ice desert, comprised of tiny fragments of ice and sand and irradiated with horrible magics. With the rising sun, it becomes a hellscape of blinding light and wandering Prismwraiths. At night, the cold can crack even the most hardened adventures (if the creatures that awaken with the darkness don't first).

Cultivators

The Cultivators go through a metamorphic life, being born as small worm-like creatures and buried in some of the deeper chambers of their underground Hivecities. Decisions are made by the Queen's Circle, made up of the queens of every Hivecity.

The Cultivators are the only source of plants in the Desolation, and thus are often under attack by some creature or another, or under siege by the elves. To protect themselves, they fabricated the Wyrm Eaters, and military service is mandatory if a Hivecity comes under assault.

Cultivators worship the Inner Gods: ancient titans buried beneath the earth, revealed through fault lines. It is said some of the deepest Hivecities have burrowed all the way down to where the Inner Gods live. Cultivator clerics of Inner Gods such as Ursek, Ar-Torak, and Om-Tira are common in the larger Hivecities.

Prismwraith

Prismwraiths are formed by the reflected light of the Desolation reacting with the magical radiation contained within. They spend their single day wandering, with their fragmented minds racing to understand what they are. Large amounts of them congregate to Elven cities, where they can find the light they need to survive.

Prismwraiths are not always immediately aggressive, but often lash out in confusion. They vanish at sunset, with the loss of the light that makes them up.

Wyrm Eater

Wyrm Eaters are bred and kept by the Cultivators for use as protectors. Their circular antennae connect them to the energies of magic, and their large size and destructive mandibles make them formidable opponents in close combat.

Wyrm Eaters fight quickly and violently, but each has been trained to minimize collateral damage.

Silentwyrm

Silentwyrms burrow under Cultivator farms, hiding their heads by folding the leafy flaps behind their head over their titanic maw, waiting for a Cultivator to come by. Silentwyrms will focus on killing or knocking one person unconscious, then dragging them away.

Even if their camouflage is broken, Silentwyrms are big, violent, and destructive: perfect for DMs to use against players who think there's nothing to be afraid of in the Hivecities.

If the Silentwyrm takes 30 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the Silentwyrm must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the Silentwyrm. If the Silentwyrm dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse using 15 feet of movement, exiting prone.

Claw: 2d10 slashing damage, +5 to hit, 60 ft. reach, one target

The Iyr, Part 1

The Iyr
The Iyr appear through gates torn through the fabric of the dimensions, clawing for territory in the Prime Material Plane (or equivalent). Their invasions are led by a Priemarchos, based on limited translation of their language, but nothing is known of their leadership above that level: the gates last for too short a time for exploration at this time.
Iyr Prielia

Iyr Prielia are the frontline fighters of the Iyr invasions, bound in translucent, whitish crystal armor, and armed with Sunslivers or Psychespears. They fight by taking advantage of their mobility, and avoid use of static defenses.

Iyr Orincepsis 

The Orincepsis are gifted with nightmarish psionic powers, running through the conductive crystal of their disproportional heads. Instead of purely destructive abilities, their mental abilities manifest through manipulation, confusion, and control. They are sent out as infiltrators, in the first wave of an invasion. However, because of the short time they can disguise themselves, they are often reclusive, and act strangely.

Sunsliver
The Sunslivers are glass, tube-shaped shortswords built by the Iyr. When activated, the tube fills with a bar of solidified sunlight.

Credit: Blask22

Damage: 1d6 Burning
Weight: 2 lb.
Properties: Finesse, Light
Burning Light: Once a day, the Sunsliver's light can burst out from its casing in a hellishly bright flash, dealing 1d6 Radiant damage in a 15 foot cone.

Psychespear
Psychespears are short glass spears tipped with a hole in space. While it isn't large enough to cause physical harm, the mind recoils from its touch, and it bends attempts at scrying.

Credit: Algadon

Weight: 2 lb.
Properties: Thrown (20/60) 
Scrybending: Attempting to scry someone holding a Psychespear, there is a 25% chance of failure.

Shinegun
Shineguns work off the same process as Sunslivers, binding sunlight into glass. When triggered, the weapon releases the light in a burning beam. They also have a secondary mode, which erases every charge, dumping all of them into a single, apocalyptic blast.

Damage: 1d6 Burning
Weight: 1 lb.
Properties: Ranged (50/120), Ammunition (can hold a maximum of 25 charges, each shot taking 1.)  
Solar: Gains 1 charge every hour left in sunlight.
Secondary Fire: Fires a projectile that deals 1 damage per remaining charge, and uses every remaining charge.

Kill the Goblins: The Deia

The Deia are a replacement for goblins, built for 5e D&D. They build upwards, in tight clusters of lofty towers, ruled by tight-knit, apathetic houses. Oh, and also they're poisonous. Forgot about that bit.

They can be found here.
