Message: <blockquote data-quote="redking!" data-source="post: 9392801" data-attributes="member: 6960305">I play the Prism Pentad like it happened, but the "heroes" of Tyr were deceived. They didn't kill any Sorcerer Monarch, nor the Dragon. The Sorcerer Monarch's fled to extradimensional panic rooms and left simulacrums, <a href="https://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/simulacrum.htm" target="_blank">semi-real illusory duplicates</a>, to rule in their place. The Dragon did the same when the proximity of the Dark Lens began to undo his wards around Rajaat's prison. This accounts for the abysmal performance of the Sorcerer Monarchs and Dragon. At the end of the Prism Pentad, several things have happened in this scenario:1. Rajaat back in his hollow prison, but the prison is now metaphysically larger due to the vast obsidian cyst it is connected to and will likely not hold him for long. Perhaps as little as a century. Maybe only decades.2. The Dark Lens has disappeared. Sadira unwisely cast it into a sea of lava, and it was recovered by someone and spirited away. But who?3. The surviving Heroes of Tyr are forced into telling a monstrous lie. For the stability of the state, the Rikus and Sadira tell the Council of Advisors that King Tithian died fighting for Tyr, to prevent the Dragon taking a levy of Tyr’s citizens. To the surprise of Rikus and Sadira, it turned out that Tithian had several natural born children by concubines. The Council of Advisors selects one of them to be King, and Sadira is made regent.4. The Tyr region is back to its geopolitical status quo except for Raam. As Abalach-Re leaves her extradimensional panic room, she is ambushed by Dregoth. Defeated, Dregoth puts Abalach-Re in magical chains (which <a href="https://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/feeblemind.htm" target="_blank">feebleminds</a> her), making her completely incapable of resistance. Dregoth parades Abalach-Re throughout New Guistenal, and tells his dray that the Coruscation has begun. Dregoth keeps Abalach-Re alive, using her lifeforce as a magical battery from which he can draw at will.5. There are Tyr Storms in the region as presented post Prism Pentad.6. The Dragon is too busy trying to repair the damage done to Ur-Draxa, and trying to understand what Sadira has done with Rajaat's essence. The Dragon will not be able to turn his attention elsewhere for years, perhaps decades.7. In Free Year 11, a huge army of undead and a much smaller complement of dray attacks Raam, with Dregoth at its head. The fractious and chaotic defenders of Raam are easily defeated. Every night, citizens are transformed into dray, starting with the most prominent citizens.8. With the Dragon unwilling to intervene, the Tyr region faces a bloodbath not seen in generations.</blockquote>
