For the second point, one player chose to have their PC die a heroic death defeating another villain, one retired and passed the adventuring torch on to a son, two spent their days bringing about the changes from the first part and establishing networks of allies for later... and one became the villain of the next tier!Whatever you plan, I highly recommend giving the DM seat over to the players for a few minutes at such a monumental time. They will surprise and delight you.</blockquote>
