[QUOTE="Lylandra, post: 7518033, member: 6816692"] thank you all so much for your ideas and insights! First, I will definitely start with rebuilding. One of my characters has dedicated himself to life - protecting, preserving and creating life, especially in the natural world (he's dabbling with some druid magic and some of the history of the lands of Shahalesti and Ycengled gave him that vision of one day reuniting all elven people again). He's also the one most interested in the elemental spirits. So using someone who'd like to use other elemental powers/planes beyond those well-known ones (causing another elemental imbalance) would work well. Unfortunately, some of the ideas don't really work in my campaign as my players already dealt with these threads. I'll put the next part in spoiler tags as I know that a certain someone doesn't want to be spoiled about the story's conclusion: [sblock] The Rift in Castle Korstull is closed as the Pyre and Griiat got destroyed when the "true emperor" returned to the throne. They basically asked Magdus to return to Korstull with him and sit on the throne. Bam, worked. The Khagan survived, even if his shifting allegiances will make him an easy target in the future. He still got two older brothers out there somewhere who will want to claim Ostalin for themselves. Shaaladel is dead. He tried to ambush Magdus inside the Two Dragons Canyon last minute and was killed in front of Shalosha's eyes. She's queen of Shahalesti right now and the main interest of my other player who wants to make sure no one challenges the rule of the Shining Queen. And a certain Admiral isn't really happy about the embarassment Shalosha caused for him. They already found the tombs of the hydromancer and aeromancer and their corresponding rings. They also met the spirit of Toteth Topec who gave them guidance before their fight with Leska. There are currently only two surviving Trillith left, at least of whom they know: Foresight and Hope. Both are bound to mortals. The remaining ones are part of the new Stormchaser Eagle/Phoenix. Which is basically one of my hooks to bring the Plane of Dreams closer to this world. Also, the lack of "Storm"/ Air influence could lead to another imbalance. [/sblock] For Zeitgeist: I've been thinking about this as well, but there are two problems: 1) I'm a player in our Zeitgeist campaign and don't want to go into spoiler territory 2) From what I know right now, the two cosmologies are pretty much different (planes and planets, four primordial elements vs. eight, the demonocracy and strange summoning limits). So I could borrow some parts of the history that I *do* know and make it an alternate reality. For example, the demonocracy could be a place in the world where demons or, better, devils, rule as someone (maybe Stacia's devil or her kin) had fun corrupting mortals. My players could be interested in this sort of plot as they had much fun fighting arrogant devils. I could also borrow some parts of the World Wound thread there. Also... Harkover being a reborn Pilus? That sounds pretty interesting. Other ideas I got: - One of my players wants to revive his mom who sacrificed herself to create a Mythal around the archives of the Syllith (Syana's disciples who mastered soul magic). This could be a quest of its own and an opened Archive would be the perfect target for my Soul Cult. - My players kind of deceived Shalosha when they said that her parents could be reuinted in death as Lady Valiana was used in some devil cultist ritual and her soul is trapped in hell. There are a few people who wouldn't be too happy if they found out what really happened. (another info Stacia's friend could use to drive a wedge between Shalosha and her friends) [/QUOTE]
