So I am sketching out a campaign. I might even call it it an AP at one point.
The premise is that the qlippoth are making a bid to retake the Abyss. Under the guidance of a new qlippoth lord the likes of which have not been seen eons they are now waging war against the demons and mortals are being drawn into the conflict due to the machinations of both sides. The campaign would be mythic and would culminate with the heroes facing off against this new Qlippoth Lord.
Any suggestions? Something to do with culling and the phrase "Unto evil" have come to mind but nothing solid.
I'd be happy to help, but it would help to know more about the setting:
Does the campaign take place mostly in The Abyss, The Material Plane, or both? How long into the campaign do the PC's travel to the plane? What are the stakes for the mortals? What do the mortals have to gain in the end? Do any Good/Lawful outsiders get involved?
Otherwise, only ambiguous titles come to mind:
Abyssal Front
Where the Evil Ones Clash
The Enemy of My Enemy
Culling the Abyss
Ancient Evil Untamed
Parts 1 and 2 would be on the prime. Parts 3 and 6 would be in the Abyss. 4 and 5 might have brief trip to the one of the celestial planes but would have time spent in the Abyss and prime again.
At one point some good outsiders who have been observing will get involved and see about trying to work this situation out to the Light's advantage trying to put a crimp in boths by the end.
The stakes for mortals are either death or being part of the solution that the Qlippoth have developed to counter demonic spawning rates.
This is my one official bump.

2) Out of the Darkness and Into the Light
3) Endless Day and Darkest Night
4) Heaven's Abyss
After some pondering here's two related ones:
Abyssal Kings or Kings of the Abyss
Thoughts?
Shadows of Evil's Past
Liking those Zodin and DM...
So now i'm somewhere between Kings of the Abyss, Shadows of Evil's Past, and To Evil's Depths.... *pondering*
I really like Abyssal Front. Evocative of a war footing...
Further pondering...
The Sin War.
Have to admit, "Pay Evil Unto Evil" was the first thing to come to mind even before I got to the end of that first post.
Have you named the individual chapters yet? Or are you snagging those names in here as well? =P
Otherwise ...
"From/To Outer Darkness"
"Evil Never Sleeps"
"Oblivion's Origin"
"Where Darkness Dwells"
If you want to play off the Qlippoth's origins you could go with something like ...
"Husks of Vile Hunger"
"A Shell of Smothering Dark"
"Sin's Exile"
Or something along those lines.
After much consideration and only the slightest of alterations the title for the campaign is "Sin's Exiles."
I will however mine the other suggestions for chapter titles. Thanks :)
Woo!! Glad to help =)
Although if any of my players abbreviate to SEx they will have to loose 50 exp.
If the qlippoths do a bloody ritual to open a gate into the abyss. Call this chapter "The Blood Red Gate".

I don't know if they'll do that, but if they do i'll there is a strong possibility i'll use that.
