[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7935080, member: 7015476"] I was wondering whether any cosmos, campaign, and/or deity had ever been published for d&d that resembles this. What does a "savior" type figure really look like in a world where "good" has prevailed so supremely for so long that apathy is rotting people's hearts and making them not feel strongly enough about anything to really question anything or feel fullfulled beyond superficial satisfied contentedness? A world where people are petty because nit picking and pearl clutching has been resorted to to feel as if they contribute to the greater good as so little is wrong in the world that those are the table scraps glory left behind? (Perhaps some good aligned gods who toward the beginning of this supremacy hoarded and glutted themselves on what glory there was to be had have essentially caused the "fields of glory to become a beautiful wasteland due to not ever letting those fields go fallow" so to speak metaphorically and most good aligned gods as a result grew weak and aged to death over eons as a result). Perhaps the "savior" figure (the unusual deity im asking about) of such a world would have to be a horrid evil... [or at least seemingly evil as its at least dedicated to producing everything evil it can think of. Could or could not be for good aligned motivations. If it is for good aligned motivations it would be a being who knows they must never let anyone know its actions do not align to its nature. If it was good aligned though (and it wouldnt have to be) it would be hilarious if a cleric in the party for some bizarre reason met it one time, cast detect good/evil on it and became incredibly confused as he saw an aura of holy goodness, so bright that it melted his eyes out of his sockets and made him blind for a decade until somehow he was gifted with "second sight" and could see again, though he would permenantly be missing his eyes and he would maybe have been gifted knowledge of just a couple true names too from the encounter. Like maybe some combination (not sure how many) of the true names of order, chaos, evil, good, neutrality, salvation, and or ruin perhaps.] ...abomination that spilled wretched beings into the world and corrupted all it touched. It just popped in my head at one point and im curious if this has been done and published? [/QUOTE]
