Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brakkart" data-source="post: 2386161" data-attributes="member: 19617">I mean I have pretty much all the 3E stuff for Fr (missing CotSQ only) and I read a lot of the novels and I can't help but feel that the bad guys really do seem to have turned the tide from the 2E days of them being laughed at by Eliminster etc, and their plots always failing. Here a few examples of what I mean:1. The Shadow Theives are back in Waterdeep.2. The Lords of Waterdeep have been infiltrated by Hlaavin of the Unseen! (REALLY didn't see that one coming).3. The Zhents/Banites are stronger than ever.4. The Red Wizards now have a vast source of funds for their reasearchs and to pay for the construction of minions (golems ain't cheap, especially those gemstone ones of theirs).5. The Cult of Dragon wreaks unholy hell on Faerun in the Year of Rogue Dragons, creating many new Dracoliches and destroying a lot of lives/property. Even if the overall plan of Sammasters gets stopped, the damage done in the meantime is immense.6. The drow are taking Cormanthor, waging war on the dales, and are virtually unoppossed in doing so.7. Cormyr after wars against the goblins, Ghazneths and Shades is teetering on the brink of collapse.8. The Phaerimm are loose, granted their numbers took a hammering in their battles against Shade and Evereska.9. Amn is overrun with monsters and Cyricists.10. The sarrukh have awakened from their long hibernation and as a result their Yuan-ti and Naga servants have never been more active.Not sure what other signs there are, or maybe I'm just reading things wrong, but it sure seems to me like evil seems to be in the ascendant right now.</blockquote>
