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?
- 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
- Tribal politics
- Formation of the Whites/Blues
- NPCs
- Lamp - start as agkelos and see her fall to sek-agkelos, maybe as a sacrifice to remove curse swords?
- 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:
