 ====== Campaign Ideas/Scratchpad ======
-===== Alpha and Omega Prologue =====
-  * Redemption story - characters start as anti-heroes and become heroes.
-    * "Curse of Adel"? 7/10/some number of swords marked on the heart that kill them after something?
-    * Have to "do" righteous deeds based on number of the curse?
-    * Twist: End up having swords removed by others, their own actions do nothing? How to phrase smartly?
-  * Main Arc Outline
-    * Apollion (w/ Dragoons) invades...Dythos?
-    * Characters on expedition to...World Tree? to find weapon to use against Apollion
-    * Attacked by syphkolk + allied dragon
-    * Justice & Mercy (Tsedaqah (Kree'sis) and Chanan (Hilastay'reeon)...fix names) intervene. Mercy saves party but Justice places curse on them for breaking 'holy ground.' 'Angel of the Lord' (somehow associate with Chronos mythos) acts as call to adventure, says they will save the world from Apollion?
-  * 26 sessions? ~9 session per act.
-  * Initial colonization generation of Dythos
-  * Free Company? Something with Dawn since they will come from the east?
-  * Taming wilderness

-  * Regional catastrophe
-    * Aeseri offshoots/monotheists
-    * Villain - Immortal? Prophet of Elesh? Wants to kill the Creator? Immortal with Family Drama?
-      * Dragon Apollyon? Symbolism could be Dragon:Seal:Player. Player Resurrected? How to not make obvious. Mark of ~Adel turns into seal to protect against dragon?
-  * No starting magic users but Player Fates: Prophet, Judge, Priest, Paladin, etc. lead all characters to some level of divine magic
-  * Dusk Riders - frontier calvary (free company? Despot?), maybe focused on finding monothiests in the West for some hidden power?
-  * Heroes - those that end up sacrificing for the players:
