Doesn't Bahumut live on one of the upper levels of Celestia?
Sage of Perth, perhaps could the god Uatau have some ulterior motive to allow the rise of evil and undeath in Amasaria, or perhaps is there some lofty purpose that we lowly mortals cannot comprehend?
Have the 'good guys' captured any of the technology from the undead? If they did, they might be able to reverse engineer it and thus fufill their needs in the war and Uatau's obligation. |

Bahamut lives on the second level of Mount Celestia, Mercuria. It is also the location of his home...Bahamut's Palace, said to be constructed entirely from his own treasure hoard.
Actually Uatau does have an ulterior motive, but allowing the rise of evil and undeath in Amasaria is not it. I cannot give too much away because two members of my gaming group are regular visitors to Candlekeep. What I will say is, that part of the reason for Uatau's silence has more to do with the continued survival of the entire world, than just one continent.
I'm a big fan of reverse engineering, afterall much of the Classic Battletech game is built on what you can salvage or reverse engineer from Clantech.
However there is a reason why the Successor States have yet to get their hands on any technology, and again it involves Uatau...frustating eh?...

Do you actually know what Uatau's motives are, or are they still on the drawing board?
Either way, you are one ingenious and devilish DM.
Do the Successor States win battles against the technozombies? If they did, and some of the zombies were found intact, and they don't get their hands on the technology, then wow, I'm signing on the undead side for now. Gotta love being LN with the ability to rationalize anything in DnD.  |

There are a lot of new dragon names int he Dracrinomicon. I know that i didn't spell it right but bear with me...
the book is really cool because it actualy has some draconic in it. Names could be made from them. There are also new dragon races in it. |
When God created man he gave out two gifts. Some he gave intelligence. To the rest, he gave sheer DUMB luck. |

Yes, I apologise for the slight "off-topicism" that has plagued this scroll of late. I'll try to keep all further off topic discussion to the ethereal mail system.
...except this last bit...

Actually yes, Uatau's motives are clearly defined, but it is necessary (at least for the moment) for story cohesion to keep the players 'in the dark', so to speak.
