I really hope I am posting this in the right are, its my first post and I do not want to seem a fool.

Anyway...

I am trying to come up with a new campaign to send my soon to be formed group through. This is what I have so far.

Its based 2000 years after the Year of Shadows. Midnight, the newest incarnation of Mystra is slain by followers of Shar. Her death causes the weave to go psycho, releasing wild magic all over the world and destroying most of it. Normally Mystra would reincarnate but her essence was captured and imprisoned by Shar and her followers, leaving the Weave in shambles except for sparse remnants.

There are 2 main cities that have been formed by all the races. They have to work together to survive. Some races, like gnomes, seem to be totally extinct. The 2 cities not only have to worry about orc and drow raiding parties but also fighting between themselves over resources and what not.

The group should be 4-6 people, with even amounts coming from each main city in a joint effort to try and release the "soul" of mystra and repair the Weave, which some believe will undo all the damage that was done in the tearing.

This is what I have so far, I think its a decent back story but I am trying to think of what the end goal will be. Eventually they will free Mystra, but in doing so should they have to defeat the Elder Goddess Shar? That seems an impossible task and they would have to be well above Epic level to do so.

Sounds like a decent epic romp.

Might want to account for the actions and plans of the other gods and power groups. Though if there are going to be so many changes, it doesn't really matter whether you're using the Forgotten Realms. Just have fun.
