Hi all, I need some pointers on this. Elemental Evil has quite some background story to it and I was wondering if all of that is revealed in the later chapters of the Princes of the Apocalypse adventure path.
I ask this because I'm wondering what I can tell my players early on and what should wait to be revealed later.
Some things in particular:
- Is elemental evil and the elder elemental eye known in history as ancient threat?
- Anyone knows that there was a drow cult in underground caverns thousands of years ago?
- Remnants of a temple of elemental evil being found?
- Could someone know that the haunted keeps were errected as protection from the remnants of the temple of elemental evil?
- Is Vizeran DeVir brought up at any point?
Maybe someone who already played through the adventure path could give me some pointers.
This issue got brought up in my last session when I made Gariena (Scarlet Moon Hall) mention elemental evil (the adventure path says she gives the adventurers scrolls in their struggle against elemental evil - so I kinda spoke that out thinking it's a common term) and then the PCs asked what elemental evil is, so I started researching all the background info on it and realized, it might not be so commonly known after all. (I just waved it off with "Well, y'know those fanatics for elemental magic drawn together by an unknown force" for now.)
