The Arcane Vessel (5e Subclass)
The Arcane Vessel[edit]
Warlock Subclass
The Sovereign of Arcane Dominion is an ancient, enigmatic entity that embodies the raw, untamed essence of Spellfire. This primordial force transcends conventional magic, representing a powerful control and manipulation of arcane power. As the keeper of lost and forbidden magics, the Sovereign grants warlocks access to Spellfire—an ancient and volatile arcane energy that reshapes reality.
Warlocks who serve the Sovereign of Arcane Dominion wield formidable power and influence. They seek to uncover ancient secrets, expand their magical dominance, and reshape reality with their mastery of Spellfire. Their relationship with the Sovereign drives them to harness arcane energy with absolute control and ambition.
