[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 924051, member: 1231"] [b]Tao & Galanna[/b] That was a nasty idea Doc, about Galanna becoming Goddess of Undeath and Tao becoming the new deity of Nature. That could probably be used in some form in *lots* of campaigns to great effect. Some of the interesting benefits would be the conflict in t he Church of Galanna... how many of her followers would stay loyal to her, versus loyal to the post. This morning when I posted, I didn't have time to give any more follow up ideas about a quest, but I do now so I might as well. What if that the death of Imbrindarla caused something in the celestial balance to go offline (to speak in modern terms), causing all of the magic to be surpressed (perhaps that was the only immediately obvious change from the players perspective, there could of been others... who can say Dungeons & Darwinism?). Anyway, the 30 seconds later, the *backup generator* came online, and everything appeared to return to normal. The only problem is, the backup cant last forever, it was only created as a buffer, and someone is needed to restore *power* to the system. The problem is, to avoid tampering, especially divine tampering, the access to this *generator* was placed in the plane of Carceri.
