[QUOTE="xjermx, post: 4362036, member: 61185"] I'm asking for a little help in the form of ideas. A hundred brains are better than one, right? I have a little homebrew points-of-light style gameworld. Without giving you the boring details about it, one element is that a great civilization rose and was then destroyed. It is almost 1,000 years later, and my players are going to slowly come to realize that the world is headed for the next rinse cycle. I plan on them fighting off the world-eater thing, and then having an opporunity to actually fix the problem, so that this will not happen again in 1,000 years. Here is where I need your ideas. My original plan called for some great archmage living in the great civilization to be somehow so traumatized that he cursed the entire world to being destroyed every 1,000 years. But I've been completely unable to come up with anything remotely reasonable, what would cause a super powerful person to just one day smite the whole world. I've tried the love angle, the betrayed angle, etc. Lews Kinslayer Therin keeps coming to mind.... So, any ideas? What person or thing laid down this 1,000 year curse, and why? And what do the players need to do to have that person or thing undo the curse (since of course killing it won't fix the problem). [/QUOTE]
