[QUOTE="Rel, post: 1211198, member: 99"] The bit you mention about him becoming a new political power in the north jumped out at me. I think it's fairly universal that politicians don't like competition and they especially don't like competition that suddenly awakens from a thousand-year slumber with an army in tow. I'd suspect that many of the other political powers-that-be will be happy to see him appear and wipe out all those evil critters and would be almost as happy if it cost him his whole army and his life in order to make it happen. What could make this even more complex (and therefore interesting in my view) would be if the Warlord sees the other local political powers as complacent at best and complicit at worst with the large quantity of evil nasties that have begun to inhabit the area. Maybe it's time for an Inquisition to find out who's evil and who's just plain lazy... Get this: What if the Warlord decides that he needs to further build his army in order to really go smite some evil. He holds a council with the local leaders and says "Who's with me and who's against me?" Those that are with him, are with him (even if they go reluctantly and plan to kill him when the opportunity presents itself). Those who are against him...they might better serve the cause of Good if they were converted into Positive Energy Zombies, don't you think? :D <-- Evil Grin This is always one of my favorite scenarios: The guy who's so darn Good that he wraps right back around to "Really Incredibly Bad".
