[QUOTE="themind, post: 2266627, member: 25168"] I agree, we should get this baby going again. Let me start off here. now, I don't know how great this really is, but this from the Eberron game I've been running until recently. Since, this was my first real successful game as DM, I feel I should include it. Now, the original backstory of my Campaign is that Eberron used to be Toril (thats right, Forgotten Realms). After a huge War that was literally Good vs. Evil, that even the Gods got involved, Ao decided he had the last straw. If the Gods, couldn't learn from their past mistakes, the never will. Thus, Ao decided to end everything. Erase Toril and its Gods from the cosmos. However, during the process, 4 Dragons who wanted no part in the war attempted to save the world by sacrificing themselves. Surprised at what the Dragons were willing to give up to give the world a second chance, Ao let them. The spirits of Eberron, Syberis, and Khyber fused their spirits into recreating the world. The remaining Dragon, Klauth stood with Ao. Ao then proclaimed that since the world that Klauth had known was ended, he will have to safeguard this world. He also proclaimed that imprints of the old gods still remained somewhere. And that one day, these remnants would someday appear as mortals who must learn the responsibility of their actions before they may take the mantle of a god again. Ao then left, leaving the new world of Eberron to its fate. This is where the Hook comes in. Each of the PC's are a remnant of a FR god, although they don't know it at the beginning. We had: Raven:Wizard (Mystra) Kerry:Sorceror (Selune) Torrek: Fighter(Moradin) Lynx: Rogue (Correlon Lorethian) Truban: Fighter (Torm) Siddhartha: Rogue (Tymora) Jynx:Fighter(Elf archer god) -cant remember Each character had their own little opening scene, where the first appearance of some power in them manifests. They were all then drawn to the city of Sharn to an Inn, called "Godsmeet". here they all met for the first time. Here they were started on their journey by non-other than Klauth himself. They thus found a Schema in the depths of Sharn (The Forgotten Forge) along with a map to an old Dwarven Forge out in the country. (the Forge of Fury). Upon their return, Klauth brings them to an audience with Ao, through a portal to Cynosure. Here Ao explains what is happening, who they are, etc. As the progress in expericance, more and more of their power surfaces. Their adventures encompass finding another Schema (Shadows of the Last War), defeating a rogue Agent turned Vampire (Whispers of the Vampire's Blade), and finding the last peice to the schema pattern and stopping an evil organization of taking control of its power (Grasp of the Emerald Claw). Now the real quest begin. They will be thrown into a dangerous plot that is already in motion. They will have to compete with many obsticles and many surprises, and they will have to face the Ultimate Evil. [/QUOTE]
