Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 3310023" data-attributes="member: 2209">I run in a shared world campaign. I'm the third DM to run it so Ptolus already had some history predone.We started back when there was only Banewarrens.The world is a post apocalyptic Greyhawk. Ptolus is where Greyhawk used to be before the war of Powers 10,000 years ago. The greyhawk gods are the old gods, newly and mysteriously making a resurgence in the world.St. Gaen is a st. of Lothian who died and was martyred fighting a demon at golden lake (Demon God's Fane).The emperor sought to reestablish the might of the empire and church and raised and mobilized several legions. Several Lothian priests have declared themselves not subject to the centralized church and their city states have revolted. The Lothian empire is now at full civil war and Lothian is silent on the issue.The central lothians loyal to the emperor are now producing warforged and have required wizards to register, accept marks and tithe magical items/service to the empire.The Inverted Pyramid refused to be regulated and offered sactuary to renegade wizards. The elven allies have abandoned the empire.Some say that the central lothians are stealing souls of newborns to create their warforged. The central lothianites say this is pure propaganda. Instead they say the revolting priests have been corrupted by fiends and led into heresy and treason to the empire so as to weaken it for conquest by orc armies led by fiendish masters who wait at the border. Some say devils, others demons.Some party explorations hint that diabolic plots have done something with Lothian and taken away the druidic fire shard artefact that he stole from the efreetis after slaying their jyhadding sultan and that he used to inspire a crusade to fight demon cults and later to ascend to godhood in the second war of powers.</blockquote>
