This group have characters that they have been playing for over three years of *Real* time. They were originally characters using the Rolemaster system, and when 3E came out, I decided to change systems, and we converted the characters over to 3E D&D. It was imperfect for quite awhile, but we have since started several other campaigns.These player-characters are, now that Epic Level Handbook is out,--able to be properly worked up. These are characters that began the "Going Down The Road To Hell?" episode that I described years back, here in a huge thread. I think it was somewhere near 200 posts. Thus, as may be recalled, the evil kingdom ruled by a terrible Vampire King, Lord Mallenar, who is thousands of years old, and incredibly powerful--invaded several southern provinces in the Vallorean Empire. The party led and orchestrated a four-year campaign that led to the invading Galleran armies being defeated, and thrown out of Vallorea. The party then led the assault forces of the Vallorean Empire that began a great invasion of the Kingdom of Galleran. From that point on, the Valloreans proceeded to conquer perhaps 12 enemy cities, and a vast area of territory. Each city had a population of at least 500,000 people. Several had over one million people. The slaughter and death was everywhere.Gradually, over the next ten years, the Valloreans have established a strong presence in the Occupied Territories. However, Lord Mallenar is a patient foe, and even now has led armies to recapture two cities that had been under Vallorean occupation for over four years. His power is growing, even as the Valloreans recruit more armies themselves.The party are composed of characters that are between 30th and 60th level, with numerous cohorts and followers from 15th to 20th level. Thus, the Player-characters can certainly expect to be formidable. In addition, as some may recall, the Vallorean Legions are the best trained, most disciplined, and perhaps the best equipped army anywhere in the West. They have enchanted communication helmets, as well as excellent weapons and equipment. The Valloreans have also spent a great deal of energy, wealth, and resources into equipping the Legions with effective enchanted resources to allow for greater food, water, and healing supply. As many suggested in the time when the Vallorean Empire first invaded this evil, wicked land, the Valloreans and the various players have invested in detail for anti-vampire operations, as well as anti-lycanthrope forces. The Valloreans have special assault groups that specifically track and hunt down vampires wherever they are. Likewise, every Company in a Vallorean Legion have access to various supplies and equipment to detect, see, pursue, and fight invisible and undead attackers.As for aerial forces, the Valloreans can expect to field units of Pegasus-cavalry, as well as Griffon-Assault troops. There are also enchanted Giant Eagles that have been known to land groups of flying commandos who often soften up the landing area with several Meteor Swarms, followed by globes of exploding Daylight. They also have enchanted globes of Holy Water, as well as specially prepared equipment.Thus, here is I hope some more details.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />This is great!<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Semper Fidelis,SHARK</blockquote>
