Planning Unther

{{DM}}

Refer to Dragons of Faerun, especially the section on the church of Tiamat.

Use the adventure, but grant all monsters +5 hit/dmg/AC/saves and double hp, due to some magical effect permeating the temple from the altar below.

The Platinum Knights!

Use various prestige classes to come up with organizations. (Talons!)

Allies: *Church of Bahamut **Alarmed by Tiamat's rise to power **Want to help reduce her influence **Primary goal is to destroy Tchazzar **Willing to hold out for aid in their quest **Representative: Lord Kauldur, High Priest of Bahamut, Dragon Knight Champion (pal21)

*Northern Wizards (also church of Mystra/Ishtar) **Want to liberate Unther under their rule **Want an enlightened magocracy **Want to expunge both Tiamat and Gilgeam **Representative: Isimud, Dweomerkeeper and Archmage (wiz10dev5acm5ewiz3)

Possible Allies: *Church of Bane **Centered in Mourktar, home of the largest temple to Bane in the Realms **About 10,000 troops to offer **Not about to demand Banite domination of Unther... **But wouldn't mind a major temple or two

*Shuruppak **A powerful force against the enemies of Unther... **But who does he consider "Unther"? **Undoubtedly hostile to Tiamat **Difficult to know how he feels about other factions

*Night Masks **Having infiltrated Unthalass and Messemprar, they are capable of wreaking significant havoc on the occupation force **They're willing to help...for the right price.

*Greater Thay **The Tharchioness wants a return to the status quo **But she'd also like to see Thrul ruin himself **But she sure doesn't want to see him succeed

Enemies: *Mulhorand **The Pharaoh wants to conquer Messemprar **But would prefer a peaceful transition **He would ban worship of the heathen gods Tiamat and Gilgeam **Representative: Pharaoh Horustep III, son of Horus-Re, King of the Eternal Realm

*Church of Tiamat **Mostly just wants power **Confident in the ability of their dragon armies to reconquer Unther **So what does that say about their ability to conquer Free Unther? **Has been using divine magic to keep people of Messemprar fed. What happens if they stop? **Representative: High Priestess Ankhisis, daughter of the Dark Lady (fav5sor5mys10emys5)

*Church of Set **Secretly responsible for much of the chaos that plagued the Church of Gilgeam, leading to its downfall **Currently nurturing hostility and competition between the sons of Gilgeam. **Epic Spell: Eclipse
