Message: <blockquote data-quote="GMforPowergamers" data-source="post: 8797322" data-attributes="member: 67338">quick names starter idea (and slight tweek of dates)400 years ago King Randor the 3rd's 1st wife died in child birth with twins. The king was young though and remarried for a new love by the time the twins were 7... to Elenas the Elven sage. When 20 years later the king died in battle with orcs, he left 6 children. His first born son and the twins from his first wife and 3 half elven children with the Queen Consort Elanas. Elanas as was the custom, when a spouse died the other took over as regent... but normally before this that would be a human life time. (the longest this had ever happened before was 17 1/2 yetars) for 400 years Elanas has ruled as Regent as her children and her step children gave her grandchildren and grew old and died. Then her grandchildren gave her great grandchildren and grew old and died. The fully human line was lost (are there really living human descendants?) Some great grand children of Elanas and Randor III are alive, but they are in the end of there lives by old age. There are great great grand children, and great great great grand children who are old or at least adult, and great great great great grandchildren who are adult and in there prime... and great great great great great grandchildren who are young adult but old enough to rule... and as such right now there are at least 100 possible heirs.  (22 generations of human line, and 9 generations of half elf not counting preteen children)Now Elanas who is just over 600 years old has been struck sick quickly, both mentally and physically. Her Seneschal is not even her direct descendent, but a half elf with draconic heritage who is descendent of her uncle.the whole kingdom knows what is coming. Every noble family, ones that had ties to kings before the unifications, those related to the queen regent, and just ones with influence are starting to make moves.This is a new Catastrophe that has been coming for at least the last 100 years if not the last 400. It could tear the world apart.... rumors that the queen isn't just sick but poisoned, and sides already maneuvering for there own family claims to the thrown. [SPOILER="idea"]By the time that Randor III came to power it was common for a king to call together counsels of specialists or nobles at different times.  In the last 200 years there has not been even 1 such counsel officially called. Many assume that a great counsel will have to be called soon.However today a Counsel IS being called, a small one, a specialist one.  Letters have gone out, and replies have come in.  Advisors are being given titles, and having sworn swords and spy masters and caster advisors of there own together as a web.Who is this Counsel? Why you of course. The PCs... or at least 1/3 of the characters. [/SPOILER]</blockquote>
