Buildings (especially pharaoh'spalace) collapsed (being held up by magic), the many undead disappeared, themagical communication lines broke down, weapons and stuff became very notmagical. Magic worked again immediately afterwards but being a high magicarea the effects were a disaster.Then 3 months later a new moon rose slightly red in color (in my campaignred is evil not black which is the color of fruitfulness). Right after thata metal plague swept the country. All iron and silver started out gettingwhite spots. These grew and then the weapon/coin/jewelry became dust.This caused the first riots. Loosing one's wealth is never popularespecially when there is nothing you can do to protect yourself.The guy playing pharaoh said he would rater be feared than loved so he sentout the stormtroops to quell the riots. (He is a foreigner sitting on thethrone thanks in part to these troops).2 weeks later the sun did not rise 4 mornings in a row.Now pharaoh being the son of Re the sun god and the conduit between gods andmen is the upholder of the universal order called Maat. As long as pharaohhonors the gods and obeys the laws, Maat is in balance and all is well. Butif pharaoh fails, the people will suffer, for Maat forms the basis of allthings.So of course the people is beginning to see the present pharaoh as being nolonger (if he ever was) blessed by the gods and then it is their right torise against him.Now with his attitude he has reacted swiftly and ruthlessly. The nomarks(provincial rulers) whom his spies have told him are against him have allwith their families been arrested, martial laws have been imposed in allcities and his storm troops spread all over the land in order to ensurepeace and quiet.This of course is the beginning of a civil war and now I am stumped.The economy is in ruins. Weapons must be made of bronce (a technique almostforgotten not having been used for several thousand years). Many everydaythings made of metal are no longer existing. The dwarves have shutthemselves into their mountains in a desperate attempt to keep the metalplague out and hence the firestones (coal) used for heating and cooking areno longer available etc etc etc.How do I go from here?Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.Thanx</blockquote>
