Message: <blockquote data-quote="Legend" data-source="post: 263854" data-attributes="member: 6083">Fleshing out my world's mythologyMy homebrew campaign world has two legendary features that I'll finally have a chance to flesh out... First, about 14,000 years in the past, the world was being attacked by these extraplanar entities known as the Fallen, each of which was more powerful than the last.  Well, to fight them off, the greatest spellcasters in the world got together withe the Priests of Fate (see below) and produced some colossal iron golems known as the Guardians.    Now, the cool thing about the ELH is that, before this point, I really had no idea what sort of power level that would require.  When I came across the Iron Colossus, though, I immediately thought of my own world.  Maybe I can actually do something with these golems now, as opposed to just having them sleep until they're needed again.The other little detail I've got are the Priests of Fate.  Fate in my universe is the most powerful force there is, above all others.  There are a chosen few who live in a pocket dimension and keep watch over the world to make sure that nothing that is Unfated is allowed to happen.  (Unfated things generally include monsters from other planes, time travel, resurrecting the dead, etc).  I'd always kind of assumed that these priests were so powerful that they were basically one man armies.  Now I'm considering starting a campaign where the players play as these priests.  Might be kind of a fun diversion from lower level campaigns.Anyway, that's about it.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Legend</blockquote>
