[QUOTE="cooperjer, post: 7121971, member: 6862150"] I'm working on a plot for the level 15 - 20 game that will approach in about 1 year. I plan to run a portion of Storm Kings Thunder as the main story, but I would like to include a secondary plot that intersects with the SKT plot and helps develop the PCs. One of the PCs has a strong connection to Auril. One of the players has a strong fascination with the fey and Sylvan deities. The PC dragonborn barbarian has succeeded more times on an Int (Arcana) check than the sorcerer and thus I feel I'll work with that and offer the player a chance to increase the characters magical connection. In addition, the barbarian character has a strong connection with the element of fire. The player with the fey fascination has a sorcerer character that has a strong connection to water. I would like to bring the Sylvan deities into the story, but that list of characters is missing a god of the forge or similar metal craft. I noticed that the Celtic deities listed in Legend & Lore has a god of the forge. I cannot remember the name right now. So, the next thought is to have the Celtic deities listed in Legend & Lore decide they want to gain followers in the Forgotten Realms. What story has been done already that would be similar to a pantheon of gods leaving one place or realm and moving into a new place or realm to gain new followers? I can intersect this story line through two paths. Auril interacts with the ice giants. She is very similar to the Sylvan deity The Cold Dark Queen. The Celtic god of the forge may interact with the fire giants or a fire giant god of the forge. Both intersections should lead to some interesting role-play as the Celtic and Sylvan gods seek new followers from the PCs and collide with the existing gods who influence the NPC giants. What I don't have is a story of how this may rise to the climax of the collision between gods, PCs, Giants and Dragons and then a couple possible resolutions that end story. I should mention that there is a fourth PC that is on a path to be a paladin of Bahamut. To rephrase the question, is there a story or resource material in existence of gods seeking territory / followers in another realm? [/QUOTE]
