[QUOTE="emeraldbeacon, post: 8806435, member: 7032019"] I'm trying to put together a coherent timeline of what happened to Trilla (and her mother Syana) in the decades leading up to the campaign. There are some gaps that I'm not really clear on, and I feel like I need to have those details secure... mainly because my parties are starting to learn names of characters and locations thanks to some very good investigation checks (and I don't want to keep saying things like, "sorry, a 28 doesn't give you any new info"). What I have so far... [B]MORE THAN 60 YEARS AGO: [/B]Syana was the protector of Phorros Irrendra, and had a cordial (if distant) relationship to the Taranesti who lived there. She had a daughter, Trilla, who bore startling psionic abilities. [B]~60 YEARS AGO: [/B]Coaltongue and Shaaladel united to conquer most of the known world. In Phorros Irrendra, they captured Trilla, using her as bait to draw out Syana (who had enlisted the aid of a number of celestials). The ensuing battle created the Torch of the Burning Sky (and ended with Syana's demise?) The Taranesti and Droalesti of the land helped hide Trilla in an underground lair beneath Gate Pass. [B]~40 YEARS AGO: [/B]Shaaladel, seeking a way to re-create The Torch, demanded the aid of Taranesti in Innenotdar and Phorros Irrendra, slaughtering them when they refused to reveal the whereabouts of Trilla. [B]MORE RECENTLY: [/B]The ideas & concepts that Trilla manifested via her dreams began to become both tangible and sentient, developing into the beings known as Trillith. Seeking independence and security, they bound their "mother" in a state of perpetual sleep, so that she would create more of them. This slumber has transformed a significant section of the underdark into a demiplane of its own, a realm of dreams. Meanwhile, once Leska learned of the Trillith, she bargained with them to form an alliance... one where both sides believe they are playing the other for fools. My intention is for the heroes - one of which fled Phorros Irrendra as a child - to learn that Syana was known as a great protector of the elves there, but somehow she fell in battle, and her daughter went missing. That seems like enough to tide them over until chapter 7-ish, right? [/QUOTE]
