Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fenrir" data-source="post: 153909" data-attributes="member: 401">Players in my game, don't touch this with a ten foot pole.Okay. My main plotline is this:The characters have discovered that an "evil" wizard (Darius) plans to travel back through time to Netheril with the aid of one of the Nether Scrolls, which he found after murdering one of the party's old wizardly friends who vanished some years ago. There, he plans to somehow steal the plans for Karsus' Uber-spell (the characters don't know the full extent of the plans yet), and achieve godhood.The players assume that this is for dastardly ends, but in truth, Darius is somewhat of a freedom fighter for the "rights" of spellcasters. His objective is to disable Mystra's ability to "censor" the Weave, thus opening up the possibility of trans-9th level magic and greater possibilities in the realms of mystic technology, much like what Netheril accomplished thousands of years ago. He wants a return to the neutral Mystra, who merely watched over the Weave, and didn't arbitrate it in the name of some greater morality. He believes that men should have the ability to use the tools that they have labored so hard to learn, rather than be stifled by some power who desires stagnance.This presents the characters with a moral quandary. Do they want to continue the oft-oppressive "censorship" of the Weave, or will they join Darius's cause, the very man they have fought for over five years to defeat?Eventually, it's going to develop into a faith war between the Church of Mystra and the Church of Azuth, who support the individual rights of spellcasters.</blockquote>
