[QUOTE="weem, post: 5875822, member: 9470"] Hmm... let's see, really quick while I pass through on lunch, a few ideas that connect to the story... * [B]Earthquakes[/B]. Sounds simple, but even this natural phenomenon is rarely used in D&D games. Are these naturally occurring, or indications that Tharizdun's release draws near... * [B]Ash rains from the sky from time to time[/B], though no fire seems to be occurring anywhere nearby. Prolonged exposure/breathing in of this ash can cause anything from headaches to hallucinations, the latter of which lead to anger and even violence. Small problems are exaggerated to extremes. Someone who owes you a little money may now appear to be keeping it from you in an attempt to cause you financial troubles, etc. * [B]Flesh worms[/B]. What starts as a small painful rash, turns into many and before long, movement can be seen below the skin as these worms "bore" their way through flesh and bone. An additional symptom of hosting these worms could be the above hallucinations, etc. * [B]Smell of Hatred.[/B] People begin describing a "smell", described as something strange... perhaps even something pleasant like mint. It may even be that only the young and the elderly experience this smell, but before long these same people begin acting aggressively/violently. The world is essentially bleeding with hate. Anyway, I need to run - just some quick ideas ;) [/QUOTE]
