The city was largely constructed several hundred years ago by Dwarven slaves. The city is now at peace with Dwarves but the damage has been done. The slaves secretly built a number of large reservoirs under the city designed to slowly fill up with green slime. After they fill up, a counter weight is lowerd and the slime will be forced up into the city proper, utterly destroying it. The government of the city now knows about this but they have been unable to stop it. The underground is somehow magically shielded from scrying and all the engineers they send down below to undo the damage never come back up.What they need is a small, elite group of adventurers to crawl down through the confusing, mechanical, booby-trapped, rust-monster and vermin infested tunnels and reset the mechanisms to save the city.Oh, and they only have X days to do it.Son of the SunPelor, the sun god, secretly had a son not too long ago and when it was born, all the gods came together and swore a pact to never harm the infant diety. This child lived as a demi-god in another plane for some time and has just recently come to the prime material plane. For a reason that Pelor cannot explain, his son is evil (chaotically so) and refers to himself as "Pelor" and is totally exploiting this protection pact for all it's worth.For a certain amount of time each day, the sun shifts to a dull orange colour. This time period slowly grows larger and larger each day. It's dim and comparable to a cloudy dusk. Crops are wilting and creatures of the night are growing stronger. Pelor's son is attempting to replace him as the soverign of light. "The Son of Pelor" has convened with the darker races and has promised a new age of "light" upon the surface world. Light and darkness are trading places in this reversed way of things. Certain clans of dark elves have allied themselves with the dark god and have secretly come to the surface disguised as moon elves and are longer harmed by the sunlight. Green slime, oozes and vampires are also no longer harmed by the sun and start to appear in cities and towns.Also, strangely, moonlight is slowly growing brighter and has become harmful to vampires.Gods still empower their followers who attempt to fight the change but cannot take direct action against Pelor. No divination can explain what is going on as counteracting the Son of the Sun's plans would technically be harming him. The church of Pelor proper is launching many major investigations and has called upon many of their followers to help.Drow and vampire priests and "paladins" of Pelor continually assasinate members of the old church while certain gods of night and darkness have offered solace and protection to the displaced goodly humans. The nature of positive and negative planar energy is slowly changing and the dark gods are feeling desperate as they slowly lose their dominion.</blockquote>
