[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 4561267, member: 20323"] Bumping this thread to get the creative juices going again. I would love to know who has been following this thread so far! I remember there being a few folks wanting a return of Al-Qadim on these boards, and some fresh feedback would be very appreciated. :) I'm currently trying to finish the rogue kits and compile a list of mega-plots & regional plots. Most recently I've been brainstorming about a prophecy concerning "three blind princes" who fracture the caliphate. [SIZE="4"][b]The Feuding Princes[/b][/SIZE] The Grand Caliph must decide which of his three sons will inherit the Enlightened Throne, but their actions bring division to the Land of Fate. Though their palaces are all in the vicinity of Huzuz, the princes have little love for one another. [B]Suhail[/B], the eldest son, is a paladin whose blind faith threatens to sunder the Enlightened Faith into vying factions. Returning home after the holy war against the southern drow to find his family torn apart, he sought guidance but no cleric could shed light on his destiny; thus he set out to find the Tablets of Destiny (ostensibly to learn who should be heir). Aim: Revitalize the Enlightened Faith, Convert/subjugate Crowded Sea, Supporters: Order of the Crescent, mamluks of the Dauntless, Swords of the True Gods, the Readers mystics, The Grey Fire holy slayers Palace: Suhail’s palace is located in Huzuz’s Pilgrim’s Ward, where he hosts visiting scholars and learns of clues about holy places from pilgrims. Brothers: While he loves his brothers, he considers Qasim a disgrace and Omar an uncouth brute; he and Omar are not on speaking terms. [B]Qasim[/B], the middle son, is a bard whose blind ambition... [B]Omar[/B], the youngest son, is a warlord whose blind desire threatens to precipitate war. Fearing the fracturing of his father’s empire, Omar believes a preemptive war against the Cities of the Ancients (whose governments are being corrupted by loyalists of Nog) will unify the people. Unwittingly, his courting of the Akotan princess is leading Zakhara towards a divisive and controversial war with Akota. Supporters: Several mamluk societies, hill tribes, al-Bulad merchant house, dwarves of Al-Akara, Soft Whisper holy slayers, and Keepers of the Seal arcane society. Palace: Omar’s palace is located along the Al-Sarif inland of Huzuz where he studies military history, hosts visiting generals, and trains his personal mamluk unit. Brothers: He harbors a grudge against Qasim for stealing his fiancé, and thinks Suhail would make a better monastic than a leader (Suhail’s “faith” once cost a battle). [/QUOTE]
