[QUOTE="themind, post: 2020893, member: 25168"] Since I don't seem to be getting any help over at WoTC, I think I'll take a crack at it here. I've been running an Eberron game every Sunday for the last 2-3 months. Now this is no ordinary Eberron game. A friend and I kind of spiced it up a little. What we did was say that Eberron used to Toril. We added a little backstory saying that in the last days of Toril, there was a great War where even the Gods got involved. Ao became dissapointed in the Gods and decided he would end this creation. During the process, however, four of the most powerful dragons; Eberron, Siberys, Khyber, and Klauth; attempted to save the world. Surprised by this, Ao decided to let them. Thus, Eberron, Siberys, and Khyber became the Dragon Between, the Dragon Above, and the Dragon Below. Klauth found himself standing next to Ao. Ao proclaimed that the world had been born a new. And he would not interfere in this world. He will let the world grow. That dragons must watch over the world. Ao also mentioned, that since existance hadn't truly ended here, the Gods of before may return. This time, however, they will have to learn responsibilty like anyone else, as a mortal. Ao also said that Klauth must wait for the day that they begin theri journey, that he must be the one to put them on the right path. With that Ao left. And thus the timeline of Eberron played out. Basically, the PC's are remnants of Faerun gods. Raven- Wizard7/Sorc1- Mystra Lynx- Rogue8- Correlon Lorethian Truban- Ftr6/Extreme Explorer2- Torm Torrak- Ftr8- Moradin Siddhartha- Rogue7/Shadow Dancer1- Tymora Kerry- Sorceror8- Selune Lynx- Ftr5/Warmage2/Arcane Archer1- Solonar Thelandira(Elven Pantheon) The story of the campaign thus far has had them meet up in Sharn, adventure through the Forgotten Forge adventure in the back of ECS, adventure through the Forge of Fury adventure, and through Shadows of the Last War(Eberron adventure). At the moment, we going through the Whispers of teh Vampire's Blade(Eberron adventure).. After that I plan on running the Grasp of the Emerald Claw so that they go through that story sequence. Then I plan on using my own adventures to bring them to 20th. And that is where I need help. I already know what I would like to do, but ideas of what to use and such are not present. My main story arc is where the PC's are summoned by a wizard who is a part of the Twelve. A powerful, neutral organization. He asks the PC's for help in retrieving some items that he thinks can be used to revert the Mournalnd back to normal. In truth, the guy is being controlled to collect the items to release a powerful lich from imprisonment. The main items need are big Khyber Dragonshards each bound with a different Elemental, he already has the Earth and water. There are 3 main quests that I would like to use. 1. Going down into Khyber to retrieve a Khyber Dragonshard needed. 2. Get th Kyber Dragonshard that has the Air Elemental bound to it, which was stolen by an influencial person who decides to make it the grand prize in a tournament he puts together. 3. Using the Dragonshard that they found before, they go to bind the fire elemental to it. Right now I just want to focus on the first part. I plan on having the PC's gain 3 levels by the end. One on the way to their destination, and 2 while going through the complex and completing the quest, My ideas- -To involve members from the Lords of Dust in the form of a Naztharune Rakshasa(MM3) or two as the leader(s) of the group in possesion of the shard -To involve members of the Cult of the Dragon Below -Creatures that are found in Khyber, i.e.- mindflayer, beholder, dolgrim, etc. -A complex that the PC's must navigate through to find the shard, i.e.- a fortress, castle, temple, etc. My main problem is trying to determine what to use for the complex, encounters, and how to incorporate all of it. Any help would be appreciated. By the way, if you don't know about any of teh Eberron specific stuff, i can fill in the blanks for you. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
