[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 436437, member: 2525"] You might enjoy the book Lammas Night by Katherine Kurtz (see amazon link below). The book will give you plenty of background material on how Hitler would open such a gate (in fact it draws on many RL facts to shape the fictional universe she describes). The summary is as follows: "What Magic Can Stop Adolf Hitler -- History's Most Evil Black Magician? The year is 1940. Hitler's Germany is about to employ the secret arts of evil witchcraft to destroy England. What can stop them? It is the mission of John Graham, colonel in British Intelligence, to stop the onslaught of evil with an extraordinary strategy that defies all the rules of twentieth-century warfare: Unite the different witches' covens throughout England, drawing upon powers that reach back through dark centuries, in a ritual of awesome sacrifice on the first night of August, the magical Lammas Night." It's a pretty good book, and worth reading. There is also some evidence that Hitler, who was in fact a big believer in the occult, believed that the mass killing of people in the camps was a form of human sacrifice that gave him magical power to accomplish some nasty magical deed. You could easily make that goal the ripping open of an extra-dimensional gateway, and hence you have the link to your plotline of orcs and drow. I'd probably set the gate in the Black Forest. And then the plot of England gathering the covens to combat this evil gives you your gate to the elves. You could even have them open the gate at Stonehenge.
