[QUOTE="hopeless, post: 3989731, member: 36349"] [b]Let me get this straight...[/b] The new FR timeline is set a century ahead... No problem with that so far, The spell plague causes many mages to go insane or just die outright with the dragonborn arriving from another world as a result. Personally I'm going with those sorcerors said to have inherited their powers from dragons are transformed into the dragonborn, those with fey heritage become eladrin and those with infernal or abyssal heritage become tieflings... yes tieflings are already present but what the heck! The deaths and insanity is because of this transformation and why those areas protected by mythals are uneffected since they do block this effect which everyone else thinks is the result of mystra's death and the breakdown of the weave, HOWEVER if that was the case the shade's city would have been expelled back into the shadowfell or whatever they call it now and the only effect on mages would be the lack of spells and liches and those dependent on magic for existance being pretty much wiped out of existance... So I'm going with my theory, the dragonborn are local and have developed after a century of experiencing the same sort of ostracising as half elves do except people still don't like them and they developed their own communities as a result, the tieflings of whom i suspect Thay plays a major part here will be making their presence felt albeit so far the shades have been blamed since their physical change has left their true identities a secret for now. The shades are still the bad guys they're seeking the Netherese lost legacies and had to rediscover how to cast outside of their protected city but their shadow mythal has given them a major advantage in that area as they are naturals at illusionary magic courtesy of Shar's benevolence (if you can call it that). Anyway are they really razing hell on the wizard community boards about this? [/QUOTE]
