I'm working on a meta-plot idea and I want to check if it can stand up to scrutiny. Here goes:
Magic only works in a geograhical limited area of the world. The reason is that certain structures tap into the otherworldly magical energies and emmit them over limited radius. It is possible that these emissions are enhanced by certain natural geographical features (valley's, rivers, ...) Currently there is only one such working structure. Knowledge of this has been lost a long time ago and the majority of the world believes magic is something from fairy tales.
During the campaing the PC's will find clues that magic used to be available all over the world.
Some otherworldly race found out about this place where magic is virtually non-existant and they set up a number of portals that will provide them physical acces and a means of transmitting their own magical energies to this world so they can enslave the population and extract the worlds resources.
PC's will have to find a way to reboot the magical transmission system so that the mages that still exist (focussed around the last structure (I'll call it an oracle)) will be able to defend more efficiently against the invasion.
That's the very broad outline. Any points where this could crash?
