[QUOTE="Stone Dog, post: 4017908, member: 16705"] That would probably be the best course of action. Like in Dark Sun people would flock to Tyr because of the Council that replaced the sorcerer king's power. that council is mainly made up of the 30th level characters that are now beset upon all sides by enemies of all types leaving the rest of the world with one shining example of how just maybe the world can be a better place. Dark Sun is still a bad bad place to be for the other 99.99% of the setting, but if you want to, your players can hear about Tyr in the background and know that they are leaving a tangible effect on the world. OR you can see what your players think about turning the tables and having the Council crack under the pressure of various influences and become a threat to stability in the tablelands. They are out to make the world a better place, but the sorcerer kings aren't the only evil out there and making them distracted gives something else a perfect chance to come creeping in from someplace else. The PCs of one campaign who reached lvl 30 are the Elminsters of the next campaign. Big and legendary, but for all their power they haven't made any noticable changes. Eventually you get a world like FR who has a stack of high level characters all doing their thing, but there are still wide areas where civilization has no control. The points of light are more like bonfires than torches, but it is still a damn big world and even three hundred 30th level characters can't be everywhere. [/QUOTE]
