There's Rulibex, a formerly human warlock. He plans on helping the Stellar Pantheon escape their prisons in the sky and get back in power. In return, he and his follow believe they will become the new angels for the Stellar. The Cult of the Unchained Stars use logic and morality that only they understand. Anyone who infiltrates the Cult ends up joining in earnest.Because their plans are nonsensical, no one knows how to deal with them and the most obvious response might be part of their plan. The CotUS has been known to terrorize areas and then drop their weapons and wait for heroes to kill them or torture them or worse.Then there's Hidan, Great Khan of the Hobgoblin Hordes. He's the standard evil military genius. He has an succubus wife who births him hobgoblin cambions who rapidly age to adulthood to serve as generals, captains, and elite warriors. He wishes to conquer the Feylands as revenge for the fey for the exile and removal of feyness of goblinkind. The goddess of war in the Titanic Pantheon promised demons to him to help him conquer and dominate the fey. Hidan is rarely seen on the material plane but he often sends his cambion children to gather resources or seduce heroes and villains to his cause.Finally there is the Matron. The Matron is a half red, half green dragon. Her birth was sanctioned by the Sun Pantheon to battle the other pantheons but surprise surprise she stopped listening and went full evil. She has many dragon sorcerer sleeper agent great grandchildren in almost every royal court sowing distrust and dragon cults subduing and forcefully taming dragons to attack other dragons and kingdom who refuse her demands. The campaign starts with the Matron, polymorphed as a young human, and Rublilex, altered to still look human, starting a bar fight to get a PC to save the Matron from the "drunken violent" Rublilex and for Matron to "reward" the PC with a "totally not cursed dagger". All with one of Hidan's sons watching the whole thing. Turns out Rublilex knows the real significance of the reward and is too crazy for anyone to get that it went brought to a special place frees and revives Hadar. Maybe. Only Rublilex knows what actually does it. The Matron and Hidan are too afraid to kill the involved PC because it all might be part of Rubli's crazy plan.</blockquote>
