They attempted to return to the present to prevent this future, but they were each instead sent to a different time in the distant past. One of my players is a Karrnathi soldier that has found himself in ancient Karrnath, near the end of Karrn's reign. I'm looking for any sources that may give details about this time period or about Karrn himself.   Now, since I don't expect there to be a whole lot that already covers this, I'm also looking to perhaps spark some discussion of Karrn and the time. How do people perceive him? Cruel and greedy? Honorable but narrow-minded? And what of the era? Would we say the humans were in their Iron Age? Early Middle Ages?
