Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ziggy" data-source="post: 145600" data-attributes="member: 148">I'm currently running a FRCS  epic campaign based in the Dalelands. This campaign in not epic because the villains are much more powerful/evil than usual, but rather because the PC will influence world heavily. If you are a player in my campaign don't look here. ..........Seriously. That means you too Håkon <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />..............I'm running a variant of the Drow/CoD/Red Wizards/Zhentarim/Iron Throne plot, a few excerpts from it follows:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">There are lots of different evil organizations, with conflicting goals. Some work together, others don't. Alliances can and will change over time. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Everybody wants a piece (or preferably the entire) Dalelands. Some work together for it, other will fight the others for it. The only way to survive is to pit the different groups against each other</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">There are two different (three if you count the faction in the underdark) drow factors in Cormanthor. They two surface factions are currently allied with different factions (the CoD and the Red Wizards respectively).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The CoD are breeding a new race of humans, with dragonblood (and partly the powers) which looks human. They can breed with ordinary humans, making a new demi-human race. They need dragon eggs to create the initial specimens. One of the PC is a specimen stolen by the Harpers when he was little, and a wish used to stop him manifesting his powers. The wish has now been broken.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The leader of the Iron Throne (Sembia) is a half-fiend. He is allied with the CoD, and has fathered a son with one of the new dragonbloods. This fiendish, dragonblood child will haunt the PCs later.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The CoD are using powers from the Mulhorandi pantheon to create dracoliches, and are led by necromancers that are descendants from the Mulhorandi-godkings that ruled Mulhorandi. One of the PCs is the daughter of one of these necromancers, but were kept outside the Cult because of his extreme male prejudices (only sons count). There was arranged a marriage between her and the leader of the Iron Thorn (see above), but she escaped before the marriage. She is starting to manifest strange, necromantic powers, and has been visited by Anubis. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Red Wizards are making items with unknown properties, and selling them at a discount.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Zhentarim have regrouped, they are currently planning how to occupy the Dalelands. They are seeking an alliance with the drow and/or the Red Wizards. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Elminster has been in Hell, and what happened there will eventually impact all the chosen of Mystra, and the Harpers. It will be the hardest blow to the good forces in Faerun in a long while. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">There are some dragons in there as well, but that is too long to go into details about. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">And there is a sword that can be used to slay Gods (only), but that is another story. BTW the trick is to know which Gods you should kill. </li> </ul>If you find anything interesting here, feel free to steal it. Parts of it can probably be combined with several of the other plots outlined about to create total mayhem. .Ziggy</blockquote>
