[QUOTE="F5, post: 2256711, member: 4607"] I like the idea of a new group that has no clue about the vast Cosmic struggle taking place, but just wants to save their home from the invading Orcs. My first thought when I read through your post was "Maybe Imperagon's wrong. Maybe it's NOT the dragon god that the re-forged sword is going to draw forth, but something else". To follow through on that, maybe re-forging the sword will also re-form the scattered essence of the creator god, reforming him in the World Above. Maybe the newly ascended creator god pulls his worthy faithful up into the world above with him. Maybe this reconstitution of the creator god is only possible through the sacrifice of another divine power. Ashardalon, of course, is too powerful to be defeated, and once drawn forth he will annihilate the World Below. But Imperagon is the first-born son of a god, and his fall in the inevitable battle with the Dragon will be enough to fuel the Creator God's ascendance. And, of course, when he gets back to the World Above, the demons that have been running his temple in his absence are cast back into the Pit, where they, and Ashardalon, and the wicked and the evil get to rage and burn and plot of all eternity. That's why the Celestials don't interfere. When the demons figure out what's going on, perhaps they are the ones behind the "resistance movement" of regular people fighting the orcish invasion. Golly, you've got an epic set-up here... Kudos to you. [/QUOTE]
