Need a name for my next campaign (and maybe a plot...)

Obergnom

First Post
My current Heroic Tier campaign is about to end. Only 2 of the 5 characters of will stay in the group, the other 3 players have decided to make new PCs.

I plan to run Trollhaunt Warren, The Demon Queens Enclave and Revenge of the Giants plus extras (I plan to shorten the dungeons)



We play in the Forgotten Realms, and the basic setting is this:

Shadowdale - one of the PCs will spend the ingame 5 years break between heroic and the paragon ruling over this small rural community as appointed Lord. He is a Knight of the Dales.

Bard's Gate - the capital of the Dalelands in my campaign. The characters won a tournament there. Our groups rogue is will spend the 5 years break here, getting trained by the Bloodghost Syndicate (from Dragon Mag).

Eastern Cormyr and New Tilverton - in a previous campaign, Eastern Cormyr tried to become independen by a coup of a Baron Teuselle. This coup involved an invasion of Giants, secretly commanded by drow. (The campaign was inspired by Against the Giants and the ecellent Shadow of the Abyss Series in Dungeon mag)
Tilverton was destroyed, Cormyrs Eastern provinces were destroyed. Today (100 years later) this region only formerly belongs to Cormyr. It relies heavily on the protection of Bard's Gate and is only sparsly populated.



Trollhaunt Warrens will resolve around Bard's Gate, though the first thing the characters do during the campaign is free New Tilverton, which is controlled by a Wartroll (Claws of Tyranny Role vs. Roll from dragon mag)

Demonqueens Enclave will be run pretty much as written.

Revenge of the Giants... well nothing is known about it, but I think it is save to assume there will be giants :)



so, how would you name the campaign? (my players asked, I need a good title to hype them for the new campaign) And, assuming Revenge of the Giants is primarly about a new Invasion of Giants, how would you wave this into a singla Campaign?



Currently I only came up with Knights of Shadowdale, which is the name people gave the group after winning the Tournament of the Dales in Bard's Gate. That title more or less confesses that there is no overall plot :)

"Shadows of Tyranny"

Seems like power struggles are a bit of a theme in the shifts you've made in setting. I don't know much about those three modules, but if they're gonna have to take down Giants, a ruling War Troll, and an evil drow? And "Shadows" is an obvious play of Shadowdale.

Hope that sounds good!
 



With the trolls, drow and giants, it sounds like a revenge plot for their defeat a century past; so maybe a title about revenge or something? Maybe the big bad drow is the daughter of the matron that invaded prior? Didn't appreciate the embarrassment of defeat.

I know its the title for the Transformer's sequel but "Revenge of the Fallen" is actually quite appropriate.

"Return of Darkness"
"The Second Invasion"
"Last Chance for Shadowdale"

Something like that...
