The Green Man
First Post
I'm planning on running (fairly) soon, after we're done with Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, a campaign set in the Asian lands (The Morninglands) of my campaign world. I'd like the input of some other of you imaginative DMs on this.
Some parts of the plotline are lifted liberally from books I've read and such, but said references are obscure enough that my players won't recognize them.
Basically, the skeleton of a plot I have involves an elemental savant (per Tome and Blood) whose favored element is Water or Ice (most likely Ice). Anyways, said savant steals a scroll from an excavation in Qanin (vaguely Mesopotamia-Arabian). The possibly pre-human scroll details the ritual used by the gods to exile the world's most powerful fire demon and Satan-type figure into the Netherwells (Far Realm).
The savant sets up shop in Adlivun (the Inuit-tinged northern plateau of the world), and intends to use the scroll to perform a similar ritual exiling the sun god - thus calling down an endless winter upon the land.
Plotlines liberally ripped off from "The Winter of the World" series and "The Way of the Tiger" gamebooks, particularly #1.
Comments, questions, suggestions, things you like, things you don't like, whatever?
Also for those in the know - is there anything in the Rokugan worldbook that would be good to throw in? I'm particularly wondering if I could substitute Void for Ice.
