I got together with a couple buddies of mine and discussed an idea of a campaign. Once I brought up my idea the conversation picked up and idea were flying left and right. So now I bring it to my fellow GM's. In the following you will learn the history of my idea and what I have so far. I haven't fleshed anything out and the names you read here are made up on the fly. I would like some feed back and your ideas on this plot of mine. So without further ado... History Every faction has its leaders and its ranks. On particular faction is the Arcane Counsel. The highest rank being Arc Mage. Arc Mage Vilimir (Elven Sorcerer), who has been in his station for many millenia. He stood faithfully by the side of his elven sorceress wife, Nyla. Vilimir and Nyla bore six children;(born in order) Andimir (Magus), Briandor (Sorcerer), Davian (Inquisitor), Harivian (Summoner), Dandilous (Warlock...male witch?), and Kaelius (Wizard). Nyla died giving birth to Kaelius. Each child was born ten years apart. A millenium had gone by when Kaelius died to the hands of another wizard in a wizard duel. Seven years later Dandilous died in his sleep by being poisoned Tears of Death. Seven years later, Harvian, dies in a troll incident. Again, seven years later, Davian dies to the flame of a red dragon, then seven years after, Briandor dies to a Finger of Death from a wizard, and finally Andimir, was assassinated in his sleep with a bad case of a slit throat. Years have passed and it is getting close to name a successor for Arc Mage, when Vilimir, was assassinated. No markings, no struggle, and no witnesses. Without an heir to the seat or someone being named successor, the Arcane Counsel is in an uproar. A schism has began dividing factions and allies. Factions pointing fingers at each other with accusations of murder. All out war has broke out arcane casters have been taken out in the streets, buildings blown up, arcane societies flee in terror from one another and into hiding. Two masses of arcane casters are growing in power. Casters mount horses, dragons, and other beasts to gain an edge in battle. War has not broke out as of yet, but its only a matter of time. My Ideas The players are brought forth to investigate the assassination. No arcane casters will be allowed due to the Arcane Counsel's decision of an unbiased investigation. They are allowed into the murder scene and are able to take notes. The Arcane Counsel wishes them luck in their investigation with hand shakes and parting gifts of weapons and armor that level with the players (Like the was found in Drow Wars by Mongoose Publishing). Things that players find out: Kaelius, is very much alive...well, when I say alive I mean vampire...well when I say vampire I mean Vampire Lich. Like it could get worse. Maybe a Worm that Walks, but that would make no sense at all. Kaelius systematically killed his brothers by various means. Kaelius is also is on the Arcane Counsel under a false guise. When shaking the players hands, he casts a spell on their bones, for easy scrying (yes, I know there is no rules for this. But it was a great idea brought forth from my buddy). So the entire investigation they are being scryed upon and hunting parties are sent out to put a stop to them. Kaelius's brothers are also alive...ish. When I say this they came back as wraiths, lost souls sent to haunt Kaelius. But Kaelius was smart and trapped their souls in a gem. With this soul gem he made an aberration of their former selves. To give you a mental picture, think of the ring wraiths from Lord of the Rings. These wraiths are controlled by Kaelius, he sees what they see, and he gives them orders. These are not normal wraiths, if they are killed they comeback 24 hours later in a new shell. The only way to kill them is from different sources. One has to be killed by a woman, one killed by a gnome, one by a half-orc, one by an elf, and one by a human. Each wraith has the lich template and spells. Kaelius want the war to happen so when him and his wraiths come on to the battle field and start decimating everything people with side with him or cower in his power. A Bit About the Wraith Each wraith had a hatred in life, a bane if you will it. But they were also put in charge of different elements after Kaelius's death and are as followed: Andimir - Element of Water - hated gnomes
Now somewhere in the past all these boys have been wiped from the face of the earth, except snippets here and there, but never revealing their name. The players need to piece together who killed the Arc Mage, place how the wraiths fit in, learn how to kill them, and try to prevent millions of people dieing. The wraiths are named in their books which are guarded by their elements. A library of sorts. They have to figure out where the library is and how to get into and survive the trip. This will require some gathering of the information. Each book will tell them the true name of the corresponding wraith and how to kill him. So what do you guys think? Is it good? What are your ideas? Help me out please. |
