[QUOTE="Zeromaru X, post: 8321588, member: 65487"] In my Neverwinter campaign, there is shadowy organization known as the Shadow Mirrors (I stole that name, lol) that is behind nearly all the armor and weapon smiths of the Sword Coast and nearby lands, in some form or another. They either sponsor them directly or by third party, and also control the important trade routes necessary for most nations to wage war against one another. They have also infiltrated some other organizations such as the Zhents, many religions and armies of many countries, many governments, etc., so they can manipulate events from behind the scenes. With control of nearly all of the humans and some non-humans weapon-crafters and sellers, the Shadow Mirrors goal is to plunge the world in an eternal war, as well as to control and profit for wars in all over the Realms, and they have been doing this for many centuries so the true extent of their activities can't be known. Their leaders views are that war brings about change and progress, and the best in humanity, so there is no reason to desire for peace. They define peace as the stagnation in between one war and the next, causing man to become corrupt and weak, and is thus undesirable. The players are just discovering that all the events they have participated so far have been manipulated by these individuals. Besides that, there is the obvious political intrigue in a campaign about the true heir of Alagondar trying to take the crown from Dagult Neverember. [/QUOTE]
