Alisttair 11-24-04, 06:33 PM	Hi. I'm doing a campaign where Karsus has a clone and will somehow bring the PCs to the time of Netheril to perform the tasks detailed in "How the Mighty are Fallen" (Tarrasque and Gold dragon of high import). He will do this by bringing them through the Plane of Radiance (from one of my Dragon issues). Anyways, the clone will learn of his demise and retake the components for Karsus' Avatar and then recast it in the past on a different deity instead and altering the fabric of time. Anyways, I'm looking for a title for the campaign which doesn't reveal that Karsus is involved, or necessarily Netheril, or that there is time travel because I dont want to spoil anything for the PCs. My mind is a blank at the moment. Any suggestions on a title??
GothicDan 11-24-04, 09:16 PM	Out of curiosity, why do you even need a title? And is the Plane of Radiance the same as the Quasielemental Plane of Radiance? How about something like, "Arcane Streams"? Or some name that vaguely alludes to what's at hand..

The reason is because it helps distinguish the adventures when logging them and other little stuff like that. Makes it more interesting I find. Anyways thanks :)

Nay it's not. :) It's a transit plane for one thing and it has a rainbow bridge that I still see Rainbow Bright riding up in her white horse, that connects to the other planes and prime worlds. Yes I'm odd and strange. :)
GothicDan 11-24-04, 10:00 PM	Alisttair: Cool cool, glad I could help! Kuje: That IS strange. And since my sister used to watch Rainbow Bright obssesively, I have the view in my head too. Gaaah. Also sounds like a rip-off of Bifrost to me...
Lady Rolindin 11-24-04, 11:12 PM	Have you thought about using the time gates, that netheril made. If you used one of them that could explain how Karsas clone came to the future and could take them back with him. How about a time theam. :)
Alisttair 11-25-04, 06:27 PM	Yeah I'm probably gonna make him steal the divine power of another deity and this will result in some time traveling back and forth type of deal.
Lady Rolindin 11-25-04, 09:38 PM	that's fine, I don't want to be the bearer of bad news. Mystryl #1 put a limit on the time travel spells and such, read Netheril empire of magic page 13, 14. Mystryl #1 made sure that no one could change the past, she set limits to time travel and your new god would have to abide by this rule unless Karsas took over Mystryl #1 place. Sorry, but unless you take her place Karsas the new god will have to abide by her rules of magic. the ideal is a good one though, I would have Karsas take mystryl #1 place so he could change the time travel rule she put on it. :)

I'll probably have the clone learn in the future about his original's demise and research to make the spell Karsus' Avatar more potent by adding some components to give him the ability to control the weave and the power of being god of magic. That way he'll also be deity of time and the change will be all good :)

On a serious note, I'm currently doing a similar thing for my campaign, except it's an evil Sharran seeking to use the Shadow Weave to repeat Karsus's mistake, using the Shadow Weave, Evereska's restored Mythal, and some Netherese artifacts (which is where my PCs come in, being hired to obtain and deliver these artifacts), sacrificing himself and the Weave to steal render Mystra helpless. I'm hoping my players will be smart enough to figure things out and attempt to stop him, although knowing them, they'll probably either ignore the subtle hints and then wake up one day and discover the Weave's gone and destruction rains upon the land or they'll figure it out, and help him anyway because he's paying them.

Or maybe the Sharran just goes back and accidentaly destroys the Shadow Weave and like Mystra replacing Mystryl, Shar is replaced by..........Cher :P
