If I were as talented a writer as Eddings or Tolkien then I wouldn't have asked for help in the forums. I am quite grateful for all the ideas, and appreciate the help. I thought I had worked out the Campaign idea, but I'm finding an awful lot of inspiration here. I had originally made this a god thing. One god versus another. But I'm beginning to think that perhaps fitting in a level underneath that and making it be a king thing, or at least the king thinks it's about him.

Of course, all this may be moot, as it seems my players are deserting me for *gasp* lives. One of them is talking about moving, and the other about marriage...to a woman who doesn't play. I'm still planning on flogging him for his idiocy. But that will be for a later date.

The best thing for prophesies are to leave them very VERY vague. Even, like Set mentioned, not even saying children of an eclipse, but calling them children of a black sun. Yeah, it's pretty obvious what it means, but if I don't want the characters to be the actual prophecy later on, I can always change it to NPCs from a world that has a black sun.

Cheesy, yes. But still an out.

I am liking the idea of some sort of object being used to distinguish the players as the ones in the prophecy. Im thinking perhaps something akin to the compass pointing in thier directions.

This has given me a LOT to think on. I appreciate the suggestions.

I hadn't intended this to be such a MAJOR hook in the story, but merely a way to get the characters working together. But, this is turning out to be a pretty good sounding device.

I've gotten tired of the whole meeting in a tavern scene, or being hired by someone to do something. It all is too cliche and contrived.

Thanks again, all.
