[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 4116183, member: 20323"] Great thread, and I really enjoyed Part III. Suggestion (Stronghold): Ancestral ghosts of the present day siege invaders were bound to the wall by the founder of the community (the PC's ancestor) to capitulate an invading general into a tentative truce. These ghosts, prisoners of war, were hung above the wall as punishment for a broken treaty, and their spirits magically compelled to protect against their former countrymen. Suggestion (National): The founding hero vanished from history, though a rebirth/salvation myth about "him" has some people looking for the signs of his prophesied return. In fact, the hero was a woman whose memory was deliberately altered by the ruling patriarchy. Her princely lover was attributed with her deeds after choosing to seek her out in the Shadowfell. His spirit in turmoil, he has delusionally come to believe he was indeed the hero the patriarchy made him out to be & the people have come to believe, and his presence haunts the wall. He is something of a ghostly prince of local undead - the mindless ones (commoners) find meaning in being part of their "prince's" court while the few sentient ones (nobility) manipulate their "prince" to their advantage.
