Typically, the trivial unresolved issues, unfulfilled quests, and unpursued goals cause the dead creature’s soul no unrest. Occasionally, however, a good creature is slain while in pursuit of some significant goal—one with an importance that transcends its mortal shell. When such a quest coincides with the plans of a powerful good outsider, the soul may be placed back into its body so that it can pursue its goal once more. Such a creature, known as an uncalled, must complete its mission before it can find eternal rest. An uncalled wanders the mortal realms, seeking always to complete whatever massive task it had been pursuing before death claimed it. The creature might have been attempting to free its home nation from enslavement by a nearby kingdom, or destroy a cabal of powerful sorcerers, or even bring about the death of a deity. The goals of an uncalled are never simple, minor tasks; they always seem monumental in scope. “Uncalled” is a template that can be added to any good-aligned dragon, fey, giant, humanoid, monstrous humanoid, outsider, or shapechanger. Uliy, Uncalled Stone Giant: Uliy was tribal champion of the Rrevik clan of stone giants. He lived to prove his prowess in combat and serve his tribe in whatever capacity he could. One day, while he was hunting in the mountains, a strange glow began filling the valley in which his tribe made its home. He quickly hurried back through the mountain passes to see what was happening. When he crested the last ridge overlooking the valley, he saw a massive hemisphere of light encompassing the entire village. As he sprinted toward his home, the light seemed to throb and expand. Then it winked out. Uliy’s village had vanished. In its place was an immense, perfectly smooth hemispherical crater in the ground. All the gardens and animal pens, all the homes, and the giants were gone. Uliy had failed as tribal champion for his own village, but he was determined not to fail the other stone giant settlements in the mountains. He set out for a nearby village several miles away to warn the residents, but again he was too late—another perfectly smooth depression was all that remained. The same was true for the next village, and the next. All told, eight stone giant villages—all those in Uliy’s mountain range—were gone. Uliy swore a blood oath to discover the fate of his people or die trying. As luck would have it, the latter event happened first. Barely a month after the disappearance, Uliy was ambushed by a family of manticores and slain. But some power of good found Uliy’s quest worth pursuing, and there was no one else who could complete it, since Uliy had been the only sentient being who even knew about the missing stone giants. Thus, Uliy opened his eyes once more—this time as an uncalled. Now, driven by the need to discover the truth about his tribe’s fate, he searches the land for clues.
