[QUOTE="jefgorbach, post: 3468580, member: 28278"] Immortality takes its toll gradually - perhaps the Protector himself never even realized his actions to protect the people/land becoming more and more tyrannical over the eons until his efforts to maintain the peace he established had trapped those governed in an unending static society ... surrounded by those continuing to evolve/growth who could one day threaten his protectorate. Seeking information on one/more of those future threats, he sends the PCs to investigate - during the course of which, they become familiar with how those outside culture(s) live and view their own homeland. In doing so, they gradually realize the "evil" his rulership has become and strive to overthrow thier past ally and friend. (think Hitler, who led a minor polical party into power to bring the floundering German nation back from the brink of economic/physical collapse, only to begin annexing the surrounding nations "for their own good" so they could share in the good fortune enjoyed under his rulership.)
