I had never heard of it before, and i wanted to flesh it out.   I love Faerun and I love Grayhawk, and Vecna is god of secrets, so I decided if any god crazy enough to do that it would be Vecna.  then I started thinking about what would the Faerun gods do.   After that whole time of troubles fiasco and Lathander's thoughtful meddlings, the gods would be hesitant at first.  So there would be a "cold war" among the god's.  No one would directly intefere.  Of course, Lathander does (its in his nature) and there's a god war about to brew.  So then I ask "how". Well it would have to be a portal and an interesting concept with the artifacts.  So I made this history about this living armor (evil) that was a uber portal.  The armor was split over various dimensions.  A cleric of Vecna would be assembling this armor.  Every time he gathered another piece Vecna emerged a little bit. Then last make the pcs an integral part.  One of the PC's, was found naked in the dales with no memory of who he is. The guy in the woods was the original owner of the armor who was cursed, two of the pcs were clerics of intefering gods, the others just merceanries financed by a rich wizard whom had other motives. In the end there was a really cool mega fight with Vecna that resulted in 3 pcs deaths, one pc turn (the other cleric ) and the near distruction of a moon.  With this campaign, I asked waht was the result of this and what would be the butterfly effect?  Vecna nearly made it into Faerun, so there would be some instability and rupturing of the planes and dimensions.  What if there was a dimension that had been hidden for millinium of years by gods long past because of its importance, and now, through the inexplainable events it was revealed.  The center of the universes, the beginning of all man. I needed to figure out why it was so important that it would remain hidden, I mean waht was so special about the center of the universes.   So I created this little world called Chrystaria, which is the origin of all life.  Everything starts their reincarnation after being generated on Chrystaria.  God's get their powers from the souls of worshipers, and with the worshipers of the pure race being so potent with prayer power, Lolth would want to get in, but she wouldn't tell any of the other god's of Faerun.  However, she wouldn' want to do it alone, so she contacted a powerful creature from the astral plane Blith to do it.  I got that idea after reading the MInd's Eye on wotc sight and wondering what this former "right hand" of a god would do to get his revenge on his former master.  Why not reshape the universes in their image by forcing a godless world like Chrystaria to worship them.  Of course, Chrystaria does have gods, but when they created the barrier to hide chrystaria, they sealed themselves off as well.  From there I just try to plug as many plot holes as possible and make sure the pcs are an integral part.  Two of the pcs are daughters of Blith, and one's brother was oneo f the warriors whom gave his life for the barrier.</blockquote>
