[QUOTE="ShaneB, post: 4569916, member: 80598"] [b]Dragonborn and Zakhara[/b] Some quick notes on how Dragonborn specifically could be potentially incorporated into Zakhara: - The Unbinding is one of the causes of drawing Abeir "into" Toril. - A massive area of Abeir is transported as an Earth Mote above wherever the Yikkari are located (not sure where this is). This piece of Abeir contained a slightly warped clan of Dragonborn that have a bond with the Yikarri, creating a dangerous force within Zakhara. Some of the Dragonborn there reject the ideals of this new union and make there way into other parts of Zakhara where they become enlightened. These Dragonborn then become driven to "release" there brethren from the bond with the Yikarri. (In this scenario the Yikarri reverse the role they played with there bond with the Djinn/Dao). Some other notes on how the events of the Spellplague (as the Unbinding is called in Faerun) could be incorporated: - Halruaa was destroyed within Faerun, maybe a large portions of the wizards of this country had wind of this (through prophecy/whatever) and teleported away to their brethren in the City of Wands. - Plaguelands are areas of strong intervention from the Unbinding. Maybe Plaguelands are created where this bond was strongest. - *FLASH OF INSPIRATION* Maybe magic was a manifestation of this bond and "Mystra" was a immortal manifestation and keeper of this bond. The stupid Faeruneans (and Cyric in particular) thought that the destruction of Mystra was just the killing of a diety, but in reality was the destruction of this bond. One of the reasons for the change in the Sha'ir class (Sha'ir's being the modern representatives of this bond between Djinn and the mortals) could be because of this loss of the physical manifestation of magic. Could also explain why there was a difference in the use of magic between Faerun and Zakhara, Faerun mages need this goddess to construct their thought processes to cast magic, while the Zakharan elementists inheritly understood this physical manifestation of the bond...
