[QUOTE="nameless, post: 89544, member: 1543"] Void wouldn't work for your plan. The best comparison I can make for void is that it's the element corresponding to fate/destiny. Void is the common thread of all the world, and void specialists gain the ability to basically scry at will. In Rokugan, there is a similar device to the one you mentioned. When the gods fell from heaven, one became evil. Years later, the humans of the world battled the dark god (Fu Leng). They trapped his essence in the 12 black scrolls. A thousand years later, the scrolls were opened and the god was released for the empire to fight again. Later in the storyline, a powerful mortal killed the evil moon god (and therefore the moon). His wife, the sun, committed ritual suicide, leaving the empire in 27 days of darkness. To make a long story short, the slayer of Lord Moon became the new moon, and another powerful mortal became the new sun by assisting the sun goddess commit seppuku. As far as suggestions, you could have the scroll detail the objects needed for the ritual. Obviously the party won't be able to stop him from getting the first objects, since he's so powerful, but as they gain power, they will be a match for him. As long as they can get even a single artifact that he needs, he'll have to face them eventually. The PCs can be from a guardian order made to protect the ritual, though some of them may only be members due to heredity, while others are active members.
