With the recent blackout, I was curious to see what ideas people could come up with to explain it as a d20 Modern adventure hook.
Here's a link with info on it.
Here's mine for an Urban Arcana setting.
Ten years ago a weakening of the shadow wall brought an entire Drow city to our world. This Drow city is miles below the modern city of Cleveland, Ohio. Up until two years ago, the Drow in this city hadn't ventured to the surface world. The passageways they had always used to wreak havoc on the surface world no longer existed. The Drow believed this was caused by some powerful magic used by surface dwellers to keep them trapped below the surface. Through the years the Drow dug new passageways and tunnels leading them once again to the surface. When they emerged two years ago, however, they saw a world that did not resemble the one they came to seek revenge upon. They spent the next two years researching this new world looking for a weakness to exploit in their plans to dominate or destroy those on the surface. They found this weakness in the form of electricity. The Drow have in their employ, a force of Dopplegangers, whom they use to replace key prominent figures in the surface world to further their plans. The Drow planned a massive power outage so that they could take advantage of the confusion and place their dopplegangers throughout the various cities. This is only the start of their path to dominating the surface world.
