Now a question for Ysgarran:
Were you getting at anything with this question or were you looking more for something to put in the mouth of the local preacher or a discovered book of scripture?
I had not made a direct connection between the ultima series, but I was looking for plot ideas based on the various Titans. I played a lot of Pendragon and I've always liked the clear and direct measurement of the different personality attributes.
The idea that I'm playing with is starting a new campaign where every player starts off with two characters with the clear intention that one of them is going to fall off the chosen path. Either the player will decide or I will decide that one of the character will become obsessed with one of the Titans. I'd like to capture 'There but for the Grace of the Gods go I' kind of feeling.
Things are not very concrete yet but here are some of the ideas that are floating around:
1. Fatlings would not be the only 'manifistation' of a Titan. Just
as Gaurak would have a Fatling, Hinruuk may change someone in
a different way (Lyncanthropy for the hunter?).
2. I did want to create temptations for the player characters
based on the Titans of Scarn, but I hadn't gone so far as creating
a seperate scenario for each Titan.
3. I've also thought about doing one time scenarios based on
the events of the Divine War just to give the players some feel
and background on Scarn.
Finally, I just like a cohesive mythology. Figuring out how the Titans of Scarn still have a direct connection to the divine races would give even more 'body' to the mythology of Scarn.
later,
Ysgarran.
p.s.
The campaign idea isn't something I'm going to ram down the players throat. I'll get their agreement before trying out this story line.
