[QUOTE="dead, post: 9379900, member: 18707"] Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. I’ve been slowly going through them… Darksun I did consider but I felt the burning desert wasteland and blistering sun didn’t feel like Tharizdun somehow. Stryxhaven and Jakandor? At a glance I couldn’t see the connection. Will have to take a second look. Lost Citadel? I liked the idea of a last bastion of defence. On Oerth, that would have to be the City of Greyhawk, of course! But I didn’t feel undead felt like Tharizdun’s thing, either. He is more madness and the unmaking of everything. Steinhardt's Guide to Eldritch Hunt? I was trying to understand the lore of the world and what has actually happened but the kickstarter description didn't really explain. But it does seem to be going for that Van Helsing monster hunter vibe. Carcosa? I remember when that first came out and the controversy. It is very much a sword & sorcery weird science old-school setting. I’m not sure that’s the vibe I’m after. I'm looking for a dying world with magic, time and reality fractured. But at the same time, Tharizdun would still want to escape his prison - as his goal is the unmaking of the entire multiverse, not just Greyspace. So he is not [I]actively[/I] trying to destroy the world and I think he would still have cultists. But his presence in Greyspace would cast a shadow over Oerth and "change" it for the worse - twisted creatures and blighted realms, warped magic and distortions of time and reality. [/QUOTE]
