[QUOTE="Hexmage-EN, post: 8949259, member: 79428"] A single article in 4E introduced the concept of a primordial-worshiping cult called the Broken Builders. Their basic gist is that they wanted to restore the primordials so that they would destroy the world as it is and make it new. That might be an interesting enemy faction with some more optimistic members who think the primordials will fix everything and more nihilistic members who just think the world should end to put everything out of its misery. As for slavery, if I were running this just for a single group and not something to publish for mass consumption I'd probably have fighting against it be almost impossibly hard as a means to sell how desperate this world is and how IRL slavery couldn't just be stopped with a ragtag group of heroes. After all, when faced with staying in bondage or being freed to thirst to death on a dying world (provided one of the many psionic horrors of the desert doesn't kill them first). That's how I've depicted duergar slavery before; "oh, sure, leave our safe and well-defended enclave, but good luck with beholders and purple worms and grell and bulette and the many other things that will try to kill you, at best. Here, take this vial of poison just in case you run into any mindflayers." [/QUOTE]
