Rules Text

A Cult of the Dragon Archive contains extensive records on specific topics, including dragons.

Research: Helpful Lore

When you issue the Research order to this facility, you commission the facility’s hireling to search the archive for lore. The work takes 7 days. The hireling gains knowledge as if they had cast the Legend Lore spell, then shares this knowledge with you the next time you speak with them.

Reference Books

Your Cult of the Dragon Archive contains a collection of draconic lore. You have Advantage on Intelligence (Nature or Religion) checks you make in your Bastion when you take the {@action Study|XPHB action to recall lore about Dragons, Tiamat, or the Cult of the Dragon.

Enlarging the Facility

You can enlarge your Cult of the Dragon Archive to a Vast facility by spending 2,000 GP. If you do so, you gain two reference books chosen from those listed in the Archive entry in chapter 8 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Balance Notes

• Compare this facility against other 13-level facilities before allowing homebrew upgrades.
• Keep the listed Bastion order as the primary action loop; additional benefits should usually be narrative, temporary, or gated by downtime.
• If this facility grants creatures, information, resources, crafted items, or empowerment, keep those outputs tied to Bastion turns rather than free adventuring actions.
