[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 3025720, member: 35678"] the plot thinkens.... [color=red]Plot Update: The Silverymoon/the North portion of the campaign has been abandoned due to a lack of making sense. See post 24 for a now more southern version of the campaign... of course feel free to steal any ideas herein[/color] Carried over from a couple from seemlessly unrelated threads, I now have a great meta-plot going which will allow for a lower-level start. It began with [b]Sound of Azure[/b] wanting a character concept for an upcoming FR game, where he'll be playing an evil character ([url=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=3025645]thread here[/url]). Then, he prompted me in [url=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=3025656]this thread[/url] to ask me how my meta-campaign is going. I responded thusly: Now, I just realised that it mentions in the plots bit about how there is a major temple of Selune in Murann, and how Selunites are currently crusading to reclaim this holy place. But how to add this bit in? Well, I think that by using SoA's concept of a Cleric of Selune who actually worships Shar is *great*, and would really work as a major character, if SoA's cleric was a High Priestess of Selune (corruption all the wya to the top, baby!). This means that Waterdeep wouldn't go to Murann's aid. Why? Well, instead of Cyric-clerics, there will be Shar-clerics backing the Ogre Mages - it's an easy sub-in and retcon :) So, Waterdeep instead goes to the aid of the north, backed by Selune-clerics with the unknown blessing of the Ogre Mages via this high-priestes - and also unknown to Obould, which is great. If he ever knew of this, he might be tempted to march all the way south and attack the Ogre Mages. Of course, this isn't the plan, but it's a great idea :p I'm not sure what else to add at this point. I haev most of the meta-campaign set up at this moment, btu I'd be greatful for any feedback, opinions or further help with ideas :) Thansk for listening! [/QUOTE]
