Maybe you can help me make them suitably paragon and wrap up in a suitable epic tier showdown.Here's where the story is ultimately headed:The paragon tier bad buy is a rakshasa, Shakul, a claw of khyber who serves the Shadow in the Flame, and is trying to free him. The party has been gathering artifacts of a legendary hero, the nemesis of the main bad guy, because he is needed to defeat Shakul. They need the artifacts before they can attempt to resurrect him, and the plane of the dead is remote.Shakul has been sowing the seeds of a breakout of a new war. Once the five nations are fighting, he has an invasion army preparing to march through the Eldeen Reaches to seize Flamekeep.So some things they could do:They've got to go into the mournlands to get the final artifact. I suspect I'll have to do that soon, or let them attempt it, since the players are very focused on getting the artifacts.War between the five nations breaks out, or potentially breaks out. They have to try and stop it from happening and rally the nations against the bad guy's army.The Anti-keeper escapes and they need to track her down.Doluur is remote and they need to find a way to manipulate the planes and bring Doluur coterminous so they can raise the hero.Hmmm... the mournlands idea...something about...how about the mournlands was a stalling tactic by the main bad guy, something involving the prophesy, he needed the war to stop for a little, then be restarted in time for his invasion. Whatever he did to make the mournlands happen wrecked the orbit of the planes, and they discover this in the course of trying to bring Doluur coterminous, but pressing needs mean they can't do anything about it right away. Epic tier could involve fixing the damage to the Planes. The thing is, I don't see enough there for a whole TIER?</blockquote>
