In my opinion the following bends the fabric of the setting extrodinarily thin, however I can also see how this could be a very good roleplaying game. so this is what I have to work with. Fifteen years ago, a cleric of Ilmater was to be sacrificed for some dark ritual. The ritual involved the torture of the poor cleric. A tanaruuk, who was loyal to the dark lord performing the torture/ritual, was impressed by the amount of pain the cleric could withstand. At the time of the cleric's death the tanaruuk was hit with a spiritual epiphany. He took the body of the cleric before the ritual was performed and baby fey'ri twins, one male and one female (who were to be used eventually as generals of the dark master) and ran away. He studied the works of Ilmater as much as possible, when he could considering he would be run out of any place where his presence was revealed. Eventually, he found a hermit who was willing to teach him the way of the broken god. As the fey'ri matured thier blood became potent and the rebelled against the one person who had taken them in. In the middle of the night the twins ran away to try and make a name for themselves. The traveled throughout the west and using thier abilities one of the twins gained status with an assassins guild. The other twin awakened as a sorcerer. Recently they were both publicly revealed for what they were and barely escaped town with the help of thier tanaruuk "father", and his companion a shade elven ranger. The ranger had saved the tanaruuk from an angry mob he encountered on the way to save the twins. Since he has become a shade, he is no longer accepted by the elves and is also searching for a place where he can live in peace. The tanaruuk explains that he was instructed by the dead cleric (see below) to find them. He knows of a land where they might find peace. The plane touched of Mulhorand may be willing to accept the motley band. Having nothing to loose anymore, the twins agreed to go with the only person who had ever accepted them for what they were and travel with him. Here's the group: tanaruuk monk fey'ri sorcerer fey'ri rogue shade elf ranger human favored soul eidoloncer (ghostwalk campaign option) Now comes the real problem, I'm not very familiar with the realms, so any suggestions given would be greatly appreciated. I need suggestions for the “dark lord”, the ritual he was trying to perform, location for where the tanaruunk originally lived after running away, where the elf was originally from, and some way to tie all this stuff together. Or.... is this just a waste of time I've been conned into by my players?

If two of them get kidnapped, i suppose that the other members of the family will do everything in order to find them again. --3) An elf shade may be a follower of Shar who visited the city of shade in the shadow plane, before it's return. Sure theese ideas are somehow poor, but i didn't have the time to think about them. Have fun!
