Why the Great Kingdom Attacked Sasserine (SPOILER?)

[GVDammerung]

I think I know why the Great Kingdom attacked Sasserine in the background for the Savage Tide adventure path and I think it will be revealed in the Overload for the AP.

Simply put - The GK acted to stop a precursor action by a Demogorgon cult that foreshadows the action of the Demogorgon cult in the STAP. Consider three Dungeon adventures -

The "adult" adventure that introduced Scuttlecove, featuring Demogorgon, which will also appear in the STAP.

The Isle of Dread (which concludes the STAP) adventure, that features Demogorgon.

The lost temple of Demogorgon adventure set in and around Irongate, which features Demogorgon, right next door to the GK. Not yet revealed to connect to the AP.

I believe the last will be revealed to be connected to the AP, likely in an adventure in the AP. The GK/Sasserine connection will be revealed in an Overload.

Its a theory. :-D

As it turns out, it's a pretty GOOD theory too! :)

:-D

It would also tie in to Ivid the Undying's mentions of Demogorgon, if memory serves.

I figure you guys are weaving canon tidbits, much like the AoW AP did.

So far, I'm very much likeing this AP.
