[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 5120175, member: 710"] A new free excerpt on [I]Plane Above[/I] featuring the intro and a campaign theme overview is available: [url=http://wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4ex/20100315]Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Plane Above Excerpts: Intro & Themes)[/url] Interesting stuff. There are a few new story elements to be found there: - Lattice of Heaven that was destroyed during the Dawn War and Erathis wants to restore - Introducing the Quom (I presume only to 4E, but I am not familiar with them), a once peaceful race whose god was destroyed, so they try to restore him now - requiring violence. - Exalted, restored mortals that are only immortal in the Dominion of their god, but still sometimes sent out as agents for their god. - Outsiders, restored mortals that no longer can enter their Dominion after events during the Dawn War. - There is also some stuff about Maruts and Couatl, two of the 4 major races in the Astral Sea (aside from Quom and Gythanki) There are also a few interesting campaign themes: - Exploring the Infinite Sea - it discusses making exploration the primary goal of the game. That sounds interesting. - Overcoming Heaven's flaws - Restore the Lattice of Heaven, or get the outsiders back into their Dominions - Adventure into Myth - change the world for a better place or make things worse if you fail. Exalted D&D Style? [/QUOTE]
