Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jürgen Hubert" data-source="post: 3213904" data-attributes="member: 7177">I'm currently trying to come up with some ideas for my <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exalted" target="_blank">Exalted</a> campaign. To be specific, I am trying to come up with things to put into the fortress of the First And Forsaken Lion, the mightiest deathlord of the setting.To provide some background, a deathlord is an extraordinarily mighty ghost (and we are definitely in "Dark Lord" territory here) who has been given power by the forces of universal oblivion itself. Deathlords rule vast stretches of the Underworld, a parallel dimension to the normal world (and which can "bleed over" in some places) where the ghosts of those who still cling to existence dwell. The First and Forsaken Lion has about 750,000 war ghosts and other undead troops, as well as a staggering array of necromantic war machines.His fortress occupies a large part of a small mountain range in the Underworld, and one of the player characters wants to scout it out in hopes of gaining some insight into his plans. Now I need all sorts of cool ideas about what she can find there - necromantic artifacts, undead siege weapons, especially cruel torture devices, and so on. Don't hesitate to be gruesome in your descriptions - after all, this army does not hesitate to literally forge the souls of the dead into weapons!Note that we are not using any variation of d20, so I'm not interested in game mechanics - just come up with good descriptions. It should also be noted that there are few undead in the setting that explicitly need to feed on the living to survive (such as ghouls or vampires), so none can be found at that fortress, either. And much of what can be found at this place should be useful for supporting a huge army - the First and Forsaken Lion did not build his fortress so that he can brood and wait for heroes to come and challenge him, but so that he can build up his strength until he has enough power to conquer the world - both of the living and the dead!</blockquote>
