[QUOTE="Dr. Strangemonkey, post: 4463798, member: 6533"] Yeah, I was thinking that it would be interesting to: [LIST=1] [*]Tie the Caliph's fertility into a Devil's Bargain [*]Have someone orchestrate the solutions to each and every plot designed to render him useless [*]Create a conflict within these solutions that has far reaching complications [*]Then have the conflict between the four heirs end in devestation as they each try to leverage their bargains [*]Said devastation results in the lifting of the Seals [/LIST] If that isn't clear - I think the basic arc should be that of Sleeping Beauty. There's a being - let's say a Ghul Lord, an incredibly ancient Ghul Lord - who acts like a cross of Rumpelstiltskin and Melificent. Thanks to this Ghul Seer the three heroes undo three plots against the Caliph and three heirs are born. Unbeknownst to the children, however, each of the heroes screwed over the Ghul Lord and the all carry a curse that will be enacted should they gain the throne. Then the unbinding is either the result of their all three going for the throne at once or the unbinding is what happens when they try to undo the curses. The Ghul Seer turns out to have been a rejected consort of the original Sha'ir and this was the plan all along. That's super cool. I think that would be a good intro for either the new revelation plot line or the advent of Persia plotline. [/QUOTE]
