[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 5866600, member: 20323"] The "fey invasion" may be seen by the daughters differently from their father the Elvenking. For example, one may be a bleeding heart who is trying to prevent a plague from wiping out a township...using fey magic to bewitch the townsfolk into becoming immortal (along with all the problems that entails). This accelerates the Elvenking's ascension to the throne of man, but that's not the daughter's main objective - on the contrary she's trying to save people. Another daughter might be decidedly more nefarious but is enchanted so that her life is bound with the unicorns - if she dies so do the unicorns (and vice versa for evil-minded PCs). This daughter is disgusted at the weaknesses of man and is a fey elitist; however over the course of the campaign her position may weaken as she notices the PCs' valor and self-sacrifice. So in the long run she is redeemable, and in the short run they can't kill her because that would be tantamount to genocide of the unicorns. The third daughter could be more of a force of nature, like a tempest, working against her father the Elvenking as much as she does against the PCs. Because she is a potential ally the PCs (probably) won't want to kill her during the young stages of the campaign. Later on, however, you might reveal her tempestuous capricious nature is due to having lost her heart stone in a storm. If the PCs retrieve the stone, the third daughter calms down and stops attacking mortal towns. The last daughter could both be tragic and a villain through and through. Say she only goes along with her father's plan so that she can oust him and steal his power. Whether the mortal world survives or not she could care less, just so long as her father is out of power (and she is in power). This could come across sympathetically if the Elvenking does something really terrible, and the last daughter provides the PCs with secret aid against the Elvenking's despotism. Just some ideas to get you started. [/QUOTE]
