Hopefully I can shed some light on these topics, though it's 1am here and some of the answers would get a bit involved.1. Mind you I'm doing this from memory 5 years after we wrote the adventure, but I think it's something like:100 years ago, Coaltongue rises to power, conquers some places, and eventually establishes an empire. He's a half-orc, Shaaladel's an elf, but they were allied in their rise to power. Shaaladel keeps his own country, but hopes that when Coaltongue dies he might name Shaaladel his successor.60 years ago, Leska finds the Aquiline Heart and makes the aged Coaltongue immortal (and herself, and a fey named Etinifi who shows up WAY later in the adventure path). Shaaladel gets irked, realizing that all his calculations are out the window now. I figure around this time Shahalesti and Ragesia start wrestling back and forth for control over Gate Pass, as a proxy battle since neither side wants an open war.40 years ago, Coaltongue agrees to lay off Gate Pass and keep it neutral. Around the same time, Shaaladel gets angry that the elves of Innenotdar aren't allying with him, so secretly he sets the forest on fire. By odd happenstance, the place never stops burning, because of a dream creature named Indomitability who was tied to the forest.2. It's just a magic item we tossed into the 3rd edition version so that PCs in the second adventure would have a better chance of fighting the bearded devil Kazyk. Also I felt it might prompt players to ponder that hey, this item's creature was pretty tragic. I figured that would help players who are used to more light-hearted D&D realize that the campaign had a weightier tone.3. I don't know what you mean by tier. Are you talking about the Technologist class from The Fantastic Science? Or the newer character theme also called Technologist from ZEITGEIST? Bonus question, by all means, please! But I recommend you train yourself to keep things brief. A lot of GMs fall behind on their campaign logs because they try to squeeze every detail in, and writing that all takes too long.</blockquote>
