Could give you all sorts of neat history possibilities and would let you use Thri'keen and Dromite NPCs giving the "There is a legend among my people that one day darkness will cover the earth/ a great terror will arise from the dark place before life." scene as a means of information disemination to the PCs. It could also be a method of giving the PCs the vital clues they need to defeat the BBEG "The legend says that should the heart of the darkness be struck down, etc, etc" and could make for a very cool "race against time" to find the aged Thri'keen soothsayer before the cultists do so he can impart the knowledge they need.In more general terms though I think the idea really rocks. A lot of DM's are worried about railroading but sometimes it's nice to have a good and clear, they be bad guys, we be good guys (or at least a different kind of bad guy), we must thusly smite them campaign trail. I love the whole apocolyptic feel that you've got going. I also really like the idea of the bug city and the PC's being part of a concerted assault against it.</blockquote>
