Hideous Phidias 12-14-06, 01:49 AM	I was thinking of running a game in Eberron And having the main villian is a long dead general of the Aberrantion Mark army that was destoried long centeries before the campaign starts. So Any good ways or ideas of how to do this? I was looking for something that I couldbuild plot off of.

The deity of death made a bargain with the general's soul. 2. Wish with a geas condition. 3. An artifact did it. In the end-game, make the destruction of the means by which it was accomplished a part of the campaign. Perhaps the god of death requests the destruction of the artifact.

Just a few ideas.
