Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rackhir" data-source="post: 1628798" data-attributes="member: 149">Building on the idea of Havendash's works needing to be destroyed. It might be interesting to have large portions of the Humans remaining being dedicated to restoring Havendash's empire, since it was the "Last Great Shinning Civilization". The information on why exactly it fell was lost during the undead overwhelming things. So they remember it as the glorious past that they want to bring back.Especially if the PC's don't know about the destruction of all Havendash's work being a prerequisite for things returning for normal, it would help set up the H-Friend/D-Enemy transforming into D-Friend/H-Enemy sequence and put the PCs at some interesting loggerheads with some of the the human bands they need for support/are allied with.Much as I like Niven's stuff, I don't think I would bother with the Burning City. You might want to read some of Barbara Hambly's (Darwath Trilogy) most likely "The Armies of Daylight" 3rd book, or the first book (forget the title). They are dealing with these Dark creatures, who have wiped out their kingdom and eventually as we learn will probably wipe out all human life on the planet, but not for reasons of simple malice.The Vincent Price movie version of "I am Legend" is called "The Last Man on Earth" and is available on DVD as is "The Omega Man. In both people are wiped out by a plague which essentially turns people into Vampires. Though in IAM or TLME they are more like blood drinking zombies. In Omega Man, they become very light sensitive and fall under the sway of a charismatic former collegue of Heston's character who blames technology for the plague that befell humanity and thus is determined to kill Heston's character as the last preserver of the old world. One important difference between the two is that in IAL/TLME Price is killed by a new society of the Vampires who have retained sentience and to whom he's become the boogieman, since he hunts and kills vampires during the day.</blockquote>
