So I'm about to begin a FR campaign, starting at level 1 and going on (ideally to 20, but mostly with an entirely new-to-gaming group, so the end is determined by how well people like gaming, schedules, etc.) Anyway, I'm thinking about having the campaign revolve around a doppleganger plot to rebuild their own empire. Basically what the background will be is that a powerful doppleganger (high level wiz or sorc) feels like the dopplegangers are owed a place to return to their former glory, as they are descendants of a creator race. What I am curious about is if anyone has information on the Creator races outside the paragraph in the FRCS, espescially the doppleganger/locathah race? I know they were primarily aquatic, but what about any holdings on land? Also which alignment would be best for the main villian, LE or LN? I'm thinking Lawful Evil might be easiest for the newbies, but it's so much fun having non-evil villians. I mean, how many stories have an "I am the rightful heir of a lost empire" hero? But should I introduce these thougths to a group of newbie characters? Also, does anyone have ideas for specific adventures within this theme? (Their level 1 adventures will be mostly training, getting everyone used to combat, skill checks, etc.) I'm thinking of putting the campaign on the Dragon coast, or at least somewhere around the sea of fallen stars. Any ideas will be appriciated.
