And they get their name for thier leader's abiilty to turn people to jade statues (i.e. "turn to stone" effect but it's jade instead of just stone))* To be a real-mean-DM, stick the name of a PC's father/mother/aunt/uncle/caretaker on there... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />* Zarthanax (a devil or demon of some sort, OR a fallen angel that now serves evil)* Branka Underhammer (a dwarf/dark dwarf/ or other underground person - just an excuse to have an underdark themed adventure)* (Some last name which turns out to be the entire current royal bloodline of Frost Giants)  (aka an excuse to have a tundra-environment adventure where they either need to get another frost giant in control of the throne or just wipe out the current bloodline)* Morrin Metis (a spellcaster with very sand/desert themed spells) (i.e. an excuse to have a desert-themed adventure)* (random name) - who it turns out was killed a long time ago but the pieces of his body are reanimated to be undead so there are maybe 2 or 3 pieces of him they have to find and kill again  (treat each body part as a lich or some other intelligent undead that is controlling other undead mooks - every campaign needs an undead villian at some point <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />)okay so this may not be exactly what you're looking for, but it's the type of stuff that came to mind when i read your post.basically i thought of types of situations that might be fun (i.e. something tundra themed, something desert themed, something with moral considerations, some iconic villian types like devils and undead, and then thought how they'd play out in this scenario).</blockquote>
