Old fogy, new evil reporting in!
I like the idea of finally getting something going, and since I see there's a possible need for a new evil group, I thought i would propose the Emerald Fist, a group of Yuan-ti set on reviving their dead Goddess and creator. How do they revive her you ask? one of two ways:
1. Adding to their number and converting people to the worship of their Goddess, accomplished often through a ritual process of turning captives into Tainted ones or, in the result of a failed ritual, broodguards
2. Ritualistic sacrifice. They believe that humanoid sacrifice, when performed properly, not only dwindles the number of the humanoids who hate them because of what they are, but also appeases their Goddess and brings them one step closer to reviving her, an event they believe will result in her devouring the world and taking her children to a place of eternal bliss.
It's an idea I've discussed with a few people *prods Jeajea for one, whom she gave an honorary first member badge* and I'm currently trying to get going. I'm working up schematics for the details of the society and hoping to get a web site plastered up one of these days, more likely than not held together by duct tape, but there none the less
So, on that note a possible storyline that could result from this.
The Grand Temple is nearly completed, and by decree this new holy (or unholy as you see it) ground must be sanctified through the sacrifice and/or conversion of *insert random number that sounds good* individuals. Unfortunately, the time is closing in, and there are not nearly enough victims for this ritual, so the Emerald Fist has resorted to raiding Juxta, the crossroads of the multiverse, to acquire the needed number of people for the ritual.
Just a base thought, and only one of many possibilities if the Fist is used in this storyline. Thought I would toss this idea in here since it was on my mind, but I'll be back after a bit of brainstorming.
