So i know this should be done by me, but since people here enjoy to help and to give ideas, i'm going to ask for some help with my homebrew story. It is complicated so i don't expect you to comment at all, but it will be very appreciated.
I have a problem with my story, things don't mix well, i have this feeling that it's just not working, and that it is of poor quality. I want it to be of better quality.
So basically i have to match up some things, because i started the game as a module, but expanded it later, improvising a lot of stuff, like who is Caiden Cailean in this new world.
The world started from the will of an omnipotent but careless being, who let the primal lesser beings known as Priori to exist. they eventually organized the Planes of Existence. At this time The Arcs developed the Orbs of power and the Dragons developed Magic and eventually a war rose for dominance of Celestia, the Arcs won and the Dragons went to the Material Plane and the Elysium, where the majority of the metallic dragons stayed.
Some Arcs grew corrupt and followed a dark arc named Xanathas who thought they were being oppresed and they deserved more power. They became Demons and were banished with the power of the Master Orb, but the final battle was so cataclysmic that changed the structure of the planes. Ohm Ethel the commander of the Arcs became the First Deity, closely followed by other Arcs. The rest of the races were created by this cataclysm and the Master Orb was broken and dispersed through the planes.
The story of the PCs starts in the country of Arialel, in the continent of Variah. they were helping a corrupt dwarf king to uncover a problem with the massive power of Torag being manifested against their kind. At the end they couldn't save the town and they were transported to Elysium, just at the end of the great mountain of Celestia. They arrived in Caiden Cailean's realm and quickly got the attention of the drunken god, who made them participate in a tournament against chosen individuals from other gods. Finally they lost the tournament, but the other gods were insulted by the fact Caiden Used mortals in his game. Also the gods were at a point of Cold War between Chaos and Law. Caiden gave the PCs a mission to Sabotage the Church of Ohm Ethel, because they were being oppresive. now they are sabotaging the church, while the Wizard of the party is allying himself with the magical academy of Weriard, which are enemy of the Church in the country of Deia (a Theocracy)
I haven't figured out how to proceed, i'm kind of blocked. That's why i shared this. I need help to articulate this. main questions i ask to myself are:
1. Where did Caiden come, and what is his problem with the Lawful Gods and Gorum. also who is Gorum in this world.
2. Where do Torag entered in all this.
3. How should i create the climax of the story? i was thinking in making the PCs realize there is someone, 4 demon lords that escaped the banishment, that are reuniting the fragments of the master orb to bring their master back. and these someones are manipulating the gods to fight between themselves. but i haven't figured out an argument strong enough.
4. There is an Elan Cryptic PC, which comes from an organization of Elans, still don't know how to get him in the story, the organization comes from the city of Sigil (you should've heard of this city) and they are mercenaries and chaos mongers.
If someone have read all of this, just by it he/she has my most deep gratitude. And i hope i can get out of this mental block xD
Sorry also for my english, it is not my first language.
Bump D: well i think writing this has been good anyways.
Yes, is Clash of the Kingslayers. And i do know a lot of Paizo Setting, this is just not played inside it, but in a homebrew world.
The thing is, modules can be played in any setting, i just have a hard time adapting, mainly because i wanted a planar tournament, but didn't cared at that moment to find a legitimate way of justifying it. Also the main argument of the gods and their war.
I know i can make my own gods, but i wanted to include Caiden Cailean in it. if you read the post well, you would see i made some homebrew gods, but Caiden here is not the same Caiden as in pathfinder, he did not use the starstone, so his motives are also different, and i just wanted suggestions after i contextualized.
Cayden is not Cayden if he did not blackout after the test of the Starstone.
You're right, Cayden is not Cayden, he's Cayden :}
