[QUOTE="Derulbaskul, post: 5155019, member: 1581"] I'm working through several campaign ideas at the moment for my next game but the overall theme will be Fimbulwinter. Fimbulwinter is the great winter that precedes Ragnarok in Norse myth. I'll be running my game in Forgotten Realms and I and will set the game in the northern Moonsea where the Prince of Frost, heir of the Vyshaan, an ancient elven/eladrin house responsible for pretty much all of the civil wars and great disasters of the elves/eladrin, is seeking his final revenge. The Winter Court plans to eradicate elven/eladrin civilisation from Toril. The Prince of Frost has tapped into the power of Ulutiu, a slumbering or imprisoned deity, with a view to corrupting him and ultimately releasing him as a xixecal whose release will unleash a dire winter/fimbulwinter upon the area around the Moonsea. The various wards and magics of the elven lands of Cormanthor and Myth Drannor are being corrupted by Moander, a formerly slumbering and imprisoned deity of rot and corruption. While the rituals of corruption are taking place, the region gets colder and colder. Summer becomes winter and winter becomes something else. However, the orcs and giants are prepared and they march. While the ultimate villain appears to be the Prince of Frost, in actuality it is a fallen celestial, now baatezu, known as the Branded King. This gives me a good excuse to use ice devils. I also want to use the art, at least, from [I]Menace of the Icy Spire[/I] from [I]Dungeon[/I] and revisit [I]G2 Glacier of the Frost Giant Jarl[/I] (I may have that title wrong) but have the frost giant jarl be a frost titan. [I]Menace of the Icy Spire[/I] has a really good skill challenge for dealing with a blizzard that you might want to yoink. I plan to use the Feywild quite a bit. Besides the Prince of Frost I want to use a fomorian king who controls a network of portals (as suggested in both the [I]Manual of the Planes[/I] and the [I]Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide[/I]). I suspect there will also be a battle on the frozen layer of Hell at some point, possibly a climactic final battle with the Branded King. [/QUOTE]
