I'm Running A FR Campaign that is starting in the Western Heartlands and I plan on having it go back hundreds of years to the prime of Myth Drannor-In Cormanthyr.


I made the city of greenest with the interesting people, a map and locations and such. all the town stats.

The Party consists of:
A Ghostwise Halfling-Hunter From the Chondalwood(Modified d20 Warcraft Scout-kindof like a no-spell no-familiar ranger)

A Calishite Human Druid from the Lake of Steam

A Moon-Elf Hexblade From Evereska

And A Drow who has no class levels as of yet but said he was considering sorcerer(Cormanthor, which ties into the plot)

The Party isall chaotic Neutral except for the moon-elf who is neutral evil. He isnt like a villain, he just doesnt go about his good deeds the right way.-throwing slaves into dark holes to see if its safe to enter-splat. etc.

Plot
I Started them off in Western Heartlands:Greenest with them doing the module - Bring Him Back alive. its a general d20 module involving mites and saving a merchants son who has been turned into one. I adapted it to fit the location as well as the realms.
--Heres where we are
Theyre going to get their reward from the quest in Berdusk(the man gave them cheques for the Berdusk Bank), and they are going to go back to greenest after hanging around there a while.

Then they do another module, Good friends and Fine Spirits

I had a series of original ideas afterwards that I don't like.

All i know I want after that, is they will face a catastrophe, possibly involving the nine hells, and an NPC will save them with a portal~he will die before being able to follow them, and they will get through and wind up in an elven forest city--Myth Drannor shortly before it's prime im thinking. They will be altered to fit into the past, possibly changing their races, maybe not, and their equipment will change to match the times as well. A weaker devil will have gotten to follow them and they will have to defeat it. They will not immediately know they are in the past. until they see a few locations that look familiar and figure it out for themselves.

The elves will be using a different calendar than the DaleReckoning so the heroes will not be able to get comprehendable answers for dates.

Before this happens I want them to see at least a portion of myth drannor in ruin.I have a pool of radience attack on myth drannor module i bought at the local bookstore I may use in the future.

The Drow is a descendant of an exhiled member of House Fey-Branche, and he is a worshipper of Eilistraee. Just if that help at all.

Thats an interesting idea, if you plan on doing that though you must be careful because the drow won't be able to go into Cormanthor, because of the Mythal if I am not mistaken, mainly because all of the trouble, or if he does he'd be in great pain.

A good adventure to let them see some of Myth Drannor in Ruin's would be having them patrol maybe or even rescue a Knight Of Myth Drannor, or traveling into the ruins to fins something.


History is written by those who survive such terriable times,and every person is a hero, and every person is a villan it depends on who's telling the tale.

How if that's the case did the drow manage all those raids in the Cormanthor as documented in LEOF?

She said if she wasn't mistaken, though because of all those raids I can't see the people too happy with a drow running amuck.

I thought I had read something about the mythal's making drow uncomfortable too, prehaps it was just in second edition. Time to dig out CEOE and TFOMD and cross referance them with LEOF
