[QUOTE="Gilladian, post: 6305853, member: 2093"] I prefixed this with 3.5e, but it is really fairly edition agnostic. I've started a new campaign, and I've built a situation that I need to figure out. Historically, 100 years ago, in the campaign world, a small kingdom was attacked by an evil temple, which dominated a region just outside the kingdom's borders. The kingdom and temple warred, the temple was destroyed, and the evil overthrown. The kingdom tried to claim the area, set up a barony there. Ten years later, the baron died in a civil war elsewhere in the kingdom, and the barony failed. The king never appointed a new baron (supposedly for his own political reasons). For the last 90 years, this small, fertile river valley on the edge of an expanding and healthy kingdom has remained ruler-less. No other power has moved in, no Lord has tried to claim the region, etc... Plainly, [I]something[/I] has had control of the area, protecting and sheltering it. The villagers are apparently (or maybe not?) unaware of whatever it is. But a year, or maybe two years, ago, things changed. This year a group of archaeologists arrived in town, and are now exploring the ruins of the old evil temple. And nothing is stopping them, which would have happened in the past. Did happen, a few times. So what was protecting the region? Fey? A dragon? Something else entirely? And what happened to it? Why did it withdraw its protection? Or did it die/was injured/incapacitated? If so, who did it, and why? If you want to read about the region on my wiki you can go here: [URL]http://vishteercampaign.pbworks.com/w/page/69425128/Cold%20Comfort%20Ford[/URL] Thanks for any ideas, advice, suggestions, etc... Oh, and this is an E6 campaign, so it doesn't have to be super-powerful, just interesting! [/QUOTE]
