[QUOTE="humble minion, post: 8761134, member: 5948"] I never used it, but I was thinking of a domain inspired by early Everest/Himalayan mountaineering. The darklord as an obsessive climber (foreign to the area) who on an early expedition abandoned his comrades to die in order to pursue the glory of reaching the top himself. Now he's in an eternal loop, fanatical about someday reaching the top but cursed never to make it. He sucks others in on his obsession - he'll spin yarns about monsters in the high altitudes that raid villages lower down, talk of glorious achievement, of treasures and knowledge stored in ruined monasteries near the summit, of rumours that if you reach the top the goddess of the mountain will grant you three wishes. He's probably got some sort of charm ability to con people into coming along with him, until he abandons or betrays them in turn. And once a climbing team reaches the higher slopes they start coming across frozen body after body, and some of them are still recognisable as their guide, whose earlier incarnations died on the mountain and stay there still...
