I wish there was more help on running Epic Tier campaigns, but I suppose that's DMG3 material.
Still, our group is about to get into the Epic Tier and I'm trying to come up with a good arc.
The PC's, through their actions, have eliminated the possibility for Tiamat to be released, and that part of the arc is done. However, there are a few loose ends.
First, the warforged fighter keeps getting attacked. He's been called an abomination in the past by a dragon (who they killed). He's got a dragonmark you see, the first ever on a warforged. Zenobaal is the one who keeps sending people to kill him (but why doesn't he send his big muscle now?) So while he's a great BBEG for the end, it's hard to see how to go through 10 levels with him being the bad guy. (although admittedly I'm doubling XP)
Second, the fork of the prophecy has the Queen of Death (aka Lady Vol) rising now that one of the PCs chose to attach the Hand of Vecna. That player knows he's doomed, and I'd like to give him an opportunity to go out with a bang.
The problem here is that while Vol may be an epic threat (ie turning everyone in Sharn to zombies), I find it hard to have any of her minions being an epic threat...unlike say the Lords of Dust. Also, I haven't really had Vol or the Emerald Claw be major recurring villains yet...to start now seems a bit short. It's almost like it'd be better as a Paragon-to-Epic campaign.
Third is that I'd like to bring the Mourning into this, as one of the PC's new characters is from Cyre (an asassin).
Anyone else running an Epic Tier Eberron campaign?
