Balhannoth's Lair

[1] In the Shadowfell, balhannoths make their lairs near places inhabited by creatures they hunt.[1]

  • Teleport.
  • Vanish
  • Warp Terrain

Regional Effects

[1] A region containing a balhannoth's lair becomes warped by the creature's unnatural presence, which creates one or more of the following effects:

  • Sense Desires.
  • Supernatural Lure.

If the balhannoth dies, these effects end immediately.
