My favorite, admittedly off the wall is this:I'd go with the spell plague and have Elminster become infected by it. He gets really sick, but he doesn't die. Instead he gets a fever and realizes that he's actually AO in human form. He comes briefly to his senses, remembering how he came to be reincarnate himself in mortal form and why, but then the fever gets worse and he starts hallucinating and having all kinds of bad dreams. As a result of his remembered divnity, however, the dreams and hallucinations or reflected in Toril and when he finally comes out of it, things are a mess. He realizes the only way to fix things is to leave his mortal form, and do his best to reform the world in a coherent fashion.As a result magic is completely redone as per 4th Edition, races are revised, gods have been killed or merged, most of the powerful NPCs are dead and civilization is subtly different, but oddly the same all over the place.Sure, it's pure insanity but heck, a lot of FR already kind of is.</blockquote>
