[QUOTE="Prism, post: 6117158, member: 9501"] I would say it could be either or both. In our epic campaign for example one of the characters has been in contact to various degrees with Asmodeus throughout paragon which has built to the point at which he chose the prince of hell epic destiny upon reaching 21st. The decision was left up until the end when he choose to take up the 'offer' of immortality. Since that point, two of the first epic adventures have revolved around this story. I would imagine many more throughout the epic tier will follow as the character establishes himself within the ranks of the Hells. In a similar vein our rogue turned cleric has become a Chosen of Gond and out first epic adventure revolved around that progression. I'm sure Gond has many more quests for his would be Chosen before he can sit by the side of his God in relative peace. This Gond tie in has also been building for many levels without it being known that the player would choose that particular destiny. He could have gone a different direction completely However my character has chosen a destiny that has so far been low on back story. I should get my first adventure of relevance at 23rd level (ish) when I get my next class feature. Effectively he is not following his own destiny yet but for the time being assisting the others with theirs. You could say the character does not yet know what his destiny actually is or if he even has one All in all I imagine the majority of the early adventures will revolve around this discovery aspect of the epic destiny, however something much bigger (already vaguely hinted) awaits later to cap off the tier and immortality/retirement in a suitable fashion [/QUOTE]
