03-09-04, 04:36 PM [Forgotten Realms] So, I decided I needed a break from all the depression and panic I've been throwing around Tangency. So, I started working on my Forgotten Realms game again. A while back I'd asked for help with ideas on both this forum and a few others. And I think I've finally got what I want to do.

There is a lich. A powerful, dangerous, as-yet-unnamed lich. Through the use of enchantments and items, he has managed to make himself appear as something other than what he really is. He appears as a young human male, of good alignment. This young man also happens to appear to be a long-lost heir to the throne of Cormyr, which is of course a bit of a mess right now.

So, this young man is given the throne, as is his "birthright." He seems like a good and fair king, cleaning up some of the messes the kingdom's gotten into. Then he decides to take it a little further. He begins to mass the armies of his great nation, and begins to conquer its neighbors. He claims that it's for their protection, it's part of the greater good. And the citizens believe him, because hey, he's their king, and he's a good guy. Heh.

Enter the PCs. One of them may or may not be a Purple Dragon Knight (he won't make up his friggin mind), but all of them are high-level champions of good. And this seems fishy to them. Hence their adventures. And just wait until they're hired to raise an army to battle back the forces of Cormyr... heh heh. I can't wait.

So, how's it sound?

03-09-04, 05:59 PM How are you going to deal with the regent and child King Azoun V? He is definetly first in line as heir.

I'd recommend first attacking those independent cities on the Dragon Coast, It'd cause less of an uproar as far as warring goes and Sembia and the southern Dalelands (Archendale) are known for strong militia.

03-10-04, 11:47 AM I terms of game time, this sounds like something that needs to develope for many months. So unless your Player's are going to do a fastward. I'd start this off as a backdrop story in a couple of other adverntures before making it the main conflict.
