[QUOTE="Candide, post: 1679638, member: 17878"] I'm going to start a new campaign soon and I was wanting some help. Though the game will be 1st level, I want them eventually to embark on an epic perilous quest. There is a great evil in the northeast and the world is a dark place :] . By epic I don't mean 21st level or higher. I was trying to think of something thats a fantasy staple. Sort of a LotR style something, but obviously not a ring to throw into the volcano. So I thought I'd ask for the collective knowledge of the boards. If you need background info on my homebrew world here it is: Hundreds of years ago humans started appearing in the world. Elves and Dwarves already existed in their typical places. When the humans became the most promonent race, Elves taught them the ways of magic, and dwarves imparted the knowledge of technology(what would become firearms and more). Years went by as Humans used magic and technology. Eventually they created constructs, and the Elves were apprehensive about this. Then humans discovered steam technology and gunpowder weapons. They made machines to cut down forests for wood, and eventually created a living construct(like the Warforged). Religious groups of humans said this was a bad thing, that creating something like this was against the will of God. 13 years after the creation of the living constructs, the land was smitten(or smoted?) by God. High level clerics were transcended, Inventors as well as lots of mages and townfolk were killed. At around this same year another deity like being was torn from the heavens and cast down to the earth. This was Izandor. He is known as the shadow in the east. He seeks to dominate all life, etc. After these two events, the sky became grey/black with a thin line of white along all of the horizon. It looks like it usually does right before a tornado. Tensions are mounting in the east, and their is talk of a great evil and war. So, any ideas? Also, I don't mean to offend anyone by using the name God. It isn't the actual christian concept, but is based off of him. This god is really alot like Bahamut in appearance. [/QUOTE]
