Changes in AP2, location G. Abandoned Keep Spoilers!

[James B. Cline]

I've added an elf gate and the npc Quilindria (Second Darkness) to this area. Quilindria has currently been turned to stone, can communicate telepathically.

One of my pc's is an elf so I'm really playing up the connection with Kyonin.

Second Darkness AP5 Spoiler Required:

So if you've read the 5th book you get introduced to Quilindria the Succubus, now for purposes of the AP I have reduced her level, but otherwise she's the exact same character and I'm using her content almost completely except for her connection to the Queen. I'm using her as an infiltrator trying to find ways into the elven capital and in this case she has found one leading directly to the Lotus Hub, unfortunately for her she was turned to stone years ago by the evil fey after loosing a riddle contest when confronted by Dancing Lady. This does a few thing like giving the PC's a chance to travel to Iobara, except that the elven kingdom is horribly racist against humans, but if they can get the portal functioning I might give them a +1 Economy for it, but that will definitely require some diplomacy with the elves.

The primary reason for adding this is that one of my players is the daughter of an elven ambassador to Restov and her father was recently imprisoned after being accused by the Winter Council of using the kingdom treasury as a slush fund to send his daughter, all fluff. The fluff is that he is wasting time sending resources and entertaining diplomatic relations with a nation that has no cultural attatchment to Kyonin, the player has been tasked with finding historically relevant cultural connections with the old kingdom of the elves and to prove that the Stolen Lands were a significant part of their history. I wanted to a way to keep that elven politicing rp aspect and have a plausible reason for having a population of elves be in the kingdom without having them travel through the River Kingdoms.

Now of course in the future I'm sure I can develop some kind of plot where the Winter Council says its too dangerous to have a portal to the capital in barbarian hands (the PC's).

Lastly, I'm trying to open up something so eventually there may be a plot with Treerazor to take the portal as a backdoor into the elven capital. I'm trying to find feasible plots for the high end game and more reasons for mass combat, my players really like the army building stuff.

Thoughts? Questions? Its always good to have the vast and creative ideas of the paizo forums!
