Item Campaign 2 · After Skyfire

The Flare of Lathander

Weapon (light crossbow), artifact (requires attunement)


Range 80/320 ft., 1d8 piercing plus 4d4 fire on a hit; +3 to attack and damage rolls. Ammunition, loading, two-handed.

Once per long rest (recharging at dawn), speak the command word and the loaded bolt glows dull red; if the next attack hits a creature, attacks against that creature have advantage for 1 minute.

While wielding it in daylight, you can hide as a free action on your turn, a number of times per long rest equal to your proficiency bonus.

While attuned, you have resistance to fire damage.

Your speed increases by 15 feet while you wield it.


We can only appreciate the miracle of a sunrise if we have waited in the darkness.

A fine light crossbow, warm to the touch as the midday sun. Its stock and arms are dark maroon wood, inset with burnt-orange flames around the sun crossed by the three moons.

How it grew. Dormant: +1 to attacks and damage, +1d4 fire damage. Once per long rest (recharging at dawn), speak a command word and the loaded bolt glows a dull red; if the next attack hits a creature, attacks on that creature have advantage until the end of your next turn. Awakened: +2 to attacks and damage, +2d4 fire damage. While wielding it in daylight, hide as a free action on your turn, a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. Exalted: +3 to attacks and damage, +4d4 fire damage; resistance to fire damage. Once per long rest, as a bonus action, invoke the light of Lathander for advantage on all attacks for 1 minute while standing in daylight.

In campaign 2

The party acquired the crossbow in late 1034, and Xosomasaux carried it. It was later upgraded to the Ascendant Flare of Lathander.
