[QUOTE="Blue, post: 4026164, member: 20564"] SO, what happens if she takes the ring, does some good, starts to get twisted, and is given a wake-up call she can't ignore, perhaps from a mortal or group of mortal. (If you want to read "group of mortals" as "PC adventuring party" go ahead.) She pulls together all of her willpower and gives the ring away to the mortals, telling them to flee quickly with it and how to destroy it. And soon after, as the clarity of her epiphany fades and the Gollum-like to repossess the ring washes over everything, she and all the forces she can bring to bear go looking for it. So there is no sanctuary. Everyone wants it for their own purposes. Perhaps Sauron's armies have weakened in the time since - her will could hold for centuries. So we start with PCs in a nigh utopia, which turns out is really a dystopia, and then we have them get the ring and all the forces of heaven and hell after them, including many of the lawful good-guys under Galadriel who don't realize that she is getting corrupted. Perhaps rebels to the elven order can provide temporary relief and sanctuary, but in the end the PCs face an epic task. Just thoughts how to bring it back to a D&D campaign.
