Message: <blockquote data-quote="Atras" data-source="post: 5651993" data-attributes="member: 84936">It looks like your Druid player already has a built-in tie to the Neverwinter factions, in the barbarian allegiance.  Loudwater is not too far from Neverwinter, so word of heroes able to deal with the challenges that face a larger town could easily reach Neverwinter, where heroes are needed.  Are your heroes up to the challenge?Neverwinter has only recently begun rebuilding in earnest after the volcanic eruption that all but destroyed it almost 30 years ago.  Are the characters 30 years old?  They probably remember the weeks of black skies, and the stories of the fall of Neverwinter, the loss of life and treasure that struck that day.  Now there is a general call out to come help reclaim and rebuild the city, surely the Heroes of Loudwater are up to the task.The Uthgardt barbarians are backing one of the factions in the rule of the town, maybe they support the mysteriously appearing Heir of Neverwinter, or they are fighting to prevent yet another monarchy in Faerun.  They know that having the voice of a Druid from the East will help their cause, and your group can help keep the more violent dissenters from attacking members of the barbarian horde.Thayan Wizards are not being shy about claiming power in Neverwinter, and the knowledge that they possess is worth more than all the gold in Mithral Hall.  Ashara might not be interested in the necromantic arts that the Thayans are renowned for, but there is a rumor that they have a Tome full of powerful Fire magic, and a Wizard with the ability to impart training with these spells; they don't ask for much in return....The book is really good about putting out lots of fertile ground, with lots of seeds to plant your story, but it is only a tool for you to come up with your own stories.  I am undecided if I like the idea that it be mostly Heroic Tier, but I do like the explanation that it gives you a lot of enemies to kill off (the comic-book movie villain effect vs comic book villain effect).</blockquote>
