Maybe a rift/chasm or areas of wild magic or null magic. These could be indications of a great cataclysm that happened in time forgotten. This would allow the people to slowly learn that what was then could happen again. They may not know about it but run across it in an adventure.If your going to run it from beginning level characters I would have them either chased out of their homes or in an area that is coming under the influence of the first weapon/Item. This would allow them to gain levels fairly fast as they will probably run into small group of villains to fight all through the territory. This will also allow them to think they are making a difference then have vengeance when they lose the area to the greater forces. I would probably start with the evil artifact but the neutral one could be just as good.When the Items were made they probably would have been made with the intention of no allowing any one person use them at one time. Of course with the understanding of the basic structure of the universe then the villain could figure out how to overcome this. This would be up to you as the gm. I would make it so at least one of them is not under his control. Maybe he has to have his minion there with the other two weapons to overcome its resistance. I would probably have the characters along the first 10 levels find lesser items that are a mirror to the main items. Good foreshadowing for the main event. Not necessarily the same alignment of the originals but similar type of items.I like the Idea of having them do research for the items, maybe when they are running have them come upon an old temple or an abandoned stronghold that has some info in it that will start them looking at the weapon the bad guy is using. Maybe an old knight that is the last of his line that wants to pass his duties on to someone. Make a great quest and give the people a chance to learn something, but as the time has passed a great deal of knowledge has been lost. If they go to ...they may find more.Some suggestions to flush it out.</blockquote>
