Level 11Attacks
Abilities
The dragon spends 1 hour traveling through planar channels to reach the River of Souls, and then reaches any point along the river. This has the effects of Interplanar Teleport, except that the dragon can arrive precisely where they like on any major plane.
The requiem dragon automatically knows the Hit Points of all creatures they can see.
A creature within 60 feet would drop to 0 Hit Points
Effect The dragon anchors the triggering creature's soul to its body. The creature remains at 1 Hit Point, becomes Doomed 2, and gains fast healing equal to the dragon's level for 1 minute. The creature becomes temporarily immune to further Soul Anchor usages for 24 hours.

Undead creatures who fail the save must also succeed at a DC 30 will save or become Doomed 1. If the target is already doomed, the doomed value increases by 1 (to a maximum of Doomed 4). The dragon can't use Dooming Breath again for .
Requiem dragons are stewards of the River of Souls and the process through which souls reach their final destination in the afterlife. The safe journey of a soul is of utmost importance to a requiem dragon, and some will follow individual souls from their first entry into the river through to their judgment in the Boneyard and eventually to their ultimate resting place. Most requiem dragons tie themselves to specific planes and shepherd any souls bound to that plane, leading to dragons linked to places like Heaven or Hell, though these dragons never swear true allegiance to these planes. Requiem dragons fill their lairs along the River of Souls—patchworks of somber architecture rescued from other planes—with invaluable records and mementos of great accomplishments.
