[QUOTE="Mr. Draco, post: 2935778, member: 521"] I'm working on a batch of plots for a game I'm planning on running in a few months, and amidst brainstorming I came upon an idea based on the Prometheus myth: some powerful Fae has decided that now is the time to reveal a secret/impart a gift upon the humanoid races of the world. Unfortunately for our mystery Fae, he hasn't succeeded just yet, as the act of revealing the secret/imparting the gift requires an extensive magical ritual which he's still working on. Even more unfortunately for our mystery Fae, others in the Sidhe court (I don't draw a distinction between Seelie/Unseelie courts, though there are certainly both good and evil Fae) have caught wind of his plan, and they're after him (possibly the Wild Hunt is on his trail as well?). All through this, there's one major outstanding question in my mind: [b]"What secret/gift is the mystery Fae out to deliver?"[/b] So far the only real candidate in my mind is that the mystery Fae is out to reveal that the humanoid races were all originally offspring of the Fae themselves (thus explaining the similar shapes), and by revealing that secret, the mystery Fae would allow all of the members of the humanoid races (gradually, of course) to unlock the power of their own Fae bloodlines (as the Bloodline variant in Unearthed Arcana). I'm not married to the idea of the Fae bloodlines though, and any suggestions about just what this mystery Fae is up to, or further postulating about the bloodline idea would be very welcome. :D [/QUOTE]
