[QUOTE="hopeless, post: 3821275, member: 36349"] [b]Wow![/b] I liked that first story simply because its sounds viable, but then there's the matter of the Tymora, Helm and Tyr situation which has caused so much ire. There are other threads where they try to give Helm a more appropriate end but I personally can't see any reason why Ao wouldn't restore Helm in those cases s he is serving his portfolio which is why I think they came up with that dumb love triangle. Personally I would have gone for; Tharizdun manages to destablise his prison, Cyric long unstable has actually been turned into Tharizdun's puppet explaining why he destroys the dweomerheart which causes a deadly backlash creating the spell plague however this is merely a cover for when the actual destruction occurred it released the devils and demons whom fall under Tharizdun's control as he uses them to destroy all of reality in an effort to free itself. Helm has disappeared along with the rest of his loyal followers the reason why is only revealed as the host of Thrarizdun's minions pur into the realms as the defenders fall no matter how powerful they were nothing can stand up to this onslaught. However unseen figures help evacuate survivors and these travel to an undisclosed world. Eventually only one world remains open and this world now home to the numerious refugees whom have been led here by the gathered forces loyal to Helm preparing for one final battle. Sending the refugees into hiding the remaining forces make their final stand and although victorious Helm is slain and very few of his followers survive this final battle earning the title of "Chosen of Helm" in honour of their sacrifice. This world was created for the purpose of meetings between the gods and their pantheons and it was here Tymora, Tyr and Helm had their last meeting and due to evidence of manipulation in Sune's arranged marriage Helm warned Tyr who ignored the warning but Ao approached Helm explaining of a great threat and the only way to resolve the issue was to draw the enemy out. This done Ao summoned his fellow hierachy to defeat Tharizdun's forces and reset the various worlds to accomodate the great change however Helm remained dead and evil forces spread the rumour that Tyr had slain Helm and that an arranged marriage to help stop up the loss of the faith's image has kept this idea from being disproved. And as for those that survived the actual battle and the refugees? Believing their former worlds destroyed they remained there developing a new home, but old rivalries reared their heads as first the dwarves built their homes under the mountains and began to isolate themselves trying to recover there lost past, the elves did pretty much the same except they chose the depths of the great woods for their home. The halflings became farmers and built communities seeking a stable home to recover from the horrors of the past, humanity built their homes on the coast and ventured on the waters exploring their new home as they all began to forget their past leaving the truth in the hands of a dwindling chosen many of whom never recovered from the wounds and losses from the war to actually care. The tieflings the result of the demon and devil depradations during the war became more widespread but only the chosen knew the real reason why but they were unaware that their home realm now restored along with all the others would never know their source. Even though Tharizdun was once more imprisoned his puppet Cyric was similarly interned officially believed a 1000 years but only Ao knew that Cyric was still Tharizdun's puppet and would NEVER return as anything else. However Tharizdun's forces had been unchained too long, the demons once similar to the devils in origin had been altered so much that they had become like the elementals themselves in truth the elementals had been just as effected as everyone else and thanks to the slaad the demonic change was in truth irreversible. The devils however had gained even greater power, one of their number was now a god the others close enough to make them a pantheon in their own right but such creatures jealousy guard their power and made war securing followers amoung the mortals where before their numbers were few the follies of those whom hunger for power swelled their ranks as knowledge of the past war was either erased from the other worlds or forgotten on the one world that made the difference. And thus it truly became a case of Points of Light in the darkness for the war had only beckoned the inevitable end and all that stands before everyone and that bitter realisation are the only hope of the next generation... perhaps YOU God help us all!
