In search for ultimate arcane power the Red Wizards, for example, have unleashed something undesirable to the world. Or maybe they have some control (or so they think) over the Cthulthoid monsters, and have begun spreading them through the enclaves. Maybe your players can encounter them that way; the enclaves are spread throughout the realms, so it's easy to use them.Or maybe the Shades didn't come back alone from the Plane of Shadow. Or maybe they didn't come from that plane at all.  The realms canon is that some really powerful nasties were trapped under the anauroch desert. Maybe those nasties are in fact more sinister than the official history suggests? Shades may have just now unleashed something bad in their search for the Netherese artifacts in the desert.Thats a few.. not too helpful on actually running the campaign, but a starting point, perhaps.</blockquote>
