You could always do a little onion layering, and have the enormity of the world-saving unfold over the first arc or two. So long as your players buy in you could do it right from the get go of course. It is your destiny Luke!I like the parts of an artifact approach. It gives you some tangible mid-arc achievement, and also something you can have stolen from the party. Muhuhahaha! I've played this sort of thing in pretty much every edition and it's always fun. The real trick is keeping it interesting over the long haul. I'd recommend a tv series approach there - in a season of a show like, say, Supernatural, there are season long story arcs, but they don't get attention every episode, they're mixed in with some standard monster of the week episodes. In terms of D&D, you want to leave room for some action based on what happens in play and also player interest.</blockquote>
