But I think I have a better idea.  Dregoth is supposed to be the new, big evil force in the tablelands, and there is no SK that he would despise more than Ablach-Re.  So if he could find a way to revive her from the dead and make her his undead slave... mwahaha.  This outcome seems to be suggested in the boxed set, describing strange cloaked figures in Raam; templars of Dregoth, perhaps?  And Ablach-Re could come back with more power than ever.  After all, the fact that she returned from the dead would have to mean that her god was real, right?A new SK:  I wonder what would happen if two SK's had a child.  With only one female SK left, Lalali-Puy, the time for this would have to be soon.  But why?  Well, perhaps the SK's fear a world where the Sorcerer-Kings are not in control.  Freedom of the people means they have more power, which means that they may not be long for the throne.  So perhaps the Oba and one other SK could conceive a child to fill in the vacuum left by one of the missing SK's.  My pick would be Nibenay.  For one, it's clear he's a horndog ;], and still capable of fathering children.  For two, the fighting between their two cities could come to a diplomatic end.  Three, this conflict may be the result of some kind of intense love-hate relationship.  Four, he could perhaps take advantage of being the fledgeling SK's father and use it to influence him for his own ends.Orbs of Kalid-Ma: This is clearly an indication that at some point, Kalid-Ma will return, and perhaps rebuild Kalidnay.  Perhaps he even brings some of Ravenloft with him.But perhaps we underestimate the lost SK's.  After all, in the closing paragraph in the 30 years of adventure book, where a DM sent a letter to TSR asking what to do after his players had killed off the last of of the SK's, Tim Brown responded that the death of the dragon kings "jeopardized the entire uinverse, so [the PC's] had to find a resurrect every one of them and beg their forgiveness."  Perhaps they will all return, because without them, the world will literally be destroyed.</blockquote>
