[QUOTE="Baileyborough, post: 5734796, member: 98360"] I'm really liking some of these suggestions guys, so far, I'm honing this campaign arc some more. Here's where I'm at. - The stone is the cause of the first murder, when one brother (for now let's call him Cain) killed is brother. - The stone wasn't the cause, per se, the cause was a girl. "Abel" fell in love with this dark haired beauty and in a fit of jealousy, his brother killed him. - This beauty was overcome with sorrow and fled the material plane, eventually ending up to be The Raven Queen. - The stone is wanted by Shivers because he is a collecter of Bael Turath memorabilia and believes the stone to be Tiefling in its history. - The PCs are sent on a heist mission (Side Note: How do you guys run heists in 4e?) to steal the stone from some other NPC. - During the heist, the stone becomes public (ish) knowledge and other people want it for other reasons. - The peeps include: Shivers, who wants to use it to rebuild Bael Turath/destroy the remaining Dragonborn via ritual. Followers of Orcus want it to kill the Raven queen. Followers of Bahamut want to destroy it, and, by extension any people carrying it that they see as being corrupted by said stone. - I'm actually still wondering if I'll give the stone any actual abilities, or what. I'm also wondering if I'll make the stone somehow incomplete, as completing the stone will give them reason to travel farther afield. Let me know what you think or if you see any gaping holes.
