The common man identifies himself much easier with the fighter, the guy with armor and the axe. After all, anyone can don an armor and use an axe. It's much harder for a common stable boy to imagine the warlock or the wizard doing his thing. Kings should send their daughters in hope of securing a son-in-law who can and has killed demon lords - not to mention almost 1-rounded a Balor.The second step is to provide Mr. Tank with an iconic armor. He already has (since level 13ish) the Arcanite Reaper (Yeah, its a cheesy steal, but it fits like a glove), which is definitely getting more and more known. Now I just need to come up with something really special armor-wise... Visually as well as mechanically.SaintCarric has already gotten his first taste of epic-dom. The day the Swords killed 3 demon lords in the Cathedral of Kord, is henceforth known as Carric's day. Obviously, as time passes, it will be more and more widely known that a Saint walks the earth again (hasn't happened in a while) and people will flock to Drahar. I am guessing that maybe his own Church of Kord will swell (in the town in his fiefdom), surpassing the original Church of Kord in Drahar. He should also have at least one or two encounters with other Kord followers who have received word of Carric through the god. Of course, to Carric it's Kord, but to most of the rest of the world its Akir the Strong.Sages of AgesHe already has his own tower, that was granted to him after the Battle of Devil's Pass. Followers (read apprentices) have been flocking for at least half a year, maybe more. He should start getting visits from other archmages, some wanting information, some wanting help, some wanting to see what he is. As he gains a few levels, he should start getting in contact with a few aspects of the gods - then again, this will quickly end once the gods figure out what the Swords are up to. Maybe a gold dragon could stop by one day, that ought to scare the <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> out of some people at least.FeyliegeTruxas already a lover of the Queen of the Summer Court, it might be time that rumours will begin that the Queen might wed truxas. Of course, the fact that Torn has found the divine spark in Truxas already makes him fairly pivotal in his own mind anyway. Since they are heading to the Feydark, maybe the Fomorians have heard of him too. Again, maybe there will be some eladrin to free from King Balor's capital, eladrins who are big fans of Truxas.Deadly tricksterThere is already one prophecy where Torn saw Truxas becoming a god instead of Luna, but with Tagron lurking in the shadows and the rest of the Swords dead at their feet. Of course, this he didn't tell anyone. Tagron also recently acquired a interesting dagger that might cause him to take center stage at some point, but for now, he is viewed mostly as a side kick. I think his epic destiny will be the one I play up the least.The next thing to do is to think about how I make the Fomorian castle more epic. I mean, sure, battling through hordes of level 20+ monsters is kind of epic, but I want it to be more than just another dungeon with bigger monsters. It will be like that a bit, at least for this level. The next quest/level after this one will prove to be a bit different. And the one after that will be radically different from anything I have ever done. But more about that later.I also need to start foreshadowing the awakening of the Tarrasque. I have decided they should run into one, later. Because they can. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
