Help me destroy the Forgotten Realms!

[dreaded_beast]

No!! Come back to us DB!! The Scarred Lands MISSES you!!

hehe, SL will always have a place in my heart O' Great and Knowledgable Sage!

For now, FR is my playground.

There must be other well-crafted worlds out there...

Well, despite my desire to destroy FR, I really enjoy and like this campaign world. For my tastes, it has just about everything I am looking for in terms of the amount of magic, flavor, etc. The only gripe, if any, are the Epic-Level NPCs, but that is easily fixed. That is just my personal take on FR

Grumpy Old Man, maybe you should take a look at the Scarred Lands. You can ask Nightfall anything and you are sure to get a great answer.

Seen it! In fact I think that some guy (Nightfall?) once visited the Harn Forum & tried to persuade various Harn fans that the Scarred Lands was the best thing ever. It Isn't.

All fur coat and no knickers in my opinion.

Kill off the Chosen with the alien invasion strategy. Sarkrith Forsakers, in addition to an innate anti-magic field some of the time, will have such good SR almost no one can penetrate. As an arrogant, alien-mindset race of reptillian warriors, they make good aliens. To complete the effect without going too far off-flavor, give them Goa'uld-inspired magic-style technology such as staff weapons.

My suggestion would be a combination of Henry's Meteor Strike event with a repeat of a past mistake.

The meteor that struck Faerun off the sword coast was the culmination of a divine plot that had been brewing unseen for some time. The capstone in Shar and her servant's attempts to subsume the Weave into the Shadow Weave. And it works... sorta. But with unforseen consequences - both Mystra and Shar fall silent. Their priests (in addition to the effects other priests are feeling as already described) suddenly get the feeling that they've been tossed outside in the rain and the door's been locked behind them. Magical potency everywhere begins to weaken and fade as the Weave and its counterpart starts to thin and fray.



Then, in a desperate attempt to stabilize things, Elminster attempts to do what Kharsis did back in the days of Netheril. Only this time Mystra's not available to set things right, afterwards.

Personally I'm a big fan of the cult of Cthulhu idea. Elminster goes crazy and summons unspeakable things.

Though as a Rokugan fan, I could easy adapt some elements from that. A huge comet strike opens up a pit to Jigoku. Tainted things emerge, the landscape twists in that area and spreads. And no one is quite sure how to stop it. Add in some Kaiju and you can really wreck havok.
