Sounds great Walt, I'll have to read up on my Norek book soon I gather. Actually in my campaign Norek is not a part of Rhakhaan either, but they are negociating some kind of treaty with both Cynar, Remeriath and Haalkiatine. Lorgalis is not very active at the moment, but he could be.
The starting point for our campaign are two significant events:
First, the resurrection of Zyax, the Warlord for the Forces of Ulor at the end of 6049 TE. With this the War around U-Lyshak begins. A war for which Logarlis had a long time to prepare. This was the first move of the Unlife Forces: with this move the raised hopes of the Council of Norek and the forces of good of help through an ancient hero of the past are squashed quite at the very beginning - what delicious plan of Logarlis, hitting all the hopes and even the very faith of the people in the Gods of Orhan!
The second, the unexpected meeting of Kier with whatever group of people trying to get his hands on the seadrake artifacts.
In our campaign the players have still to devlop their strategy against Ulor and the Cult of Yarthraak. The discussion goes from raising an army, to walking right into Cynar and demanding back the regency to some diplomatic actions and even to the (stupid?) paln if finding some old artifacts.
And on this they have to accept some very hard compromises. For example, to get the help of the Thieves of Cynar (to get the players with Kier back into the Royal Chateau to look for the Sea Drake Amulet) Kier had to sign a treaty giving the Thieves "free-hand" and protection in some certain buisnesses.
Perhaps soon they have to negotiate also with the Duke of Plasidar. I?m still not sure what will the demands of him, but they will for sure be fullon because for the moment (spring 6050) Kier has nothing to offer him but needs his help.
