[Edit: Discovered that Irian manifest zones don't work any more strongly while the plane is coterminous. Going to have to think about how to make the planar travel bit happen.]
Possible manifest zone:
- List of possible difficulties getting there
Aernal, maybe near to the Undying Court:
- Getting to Aernal in the first place (sea encounters, etc.)
- Dealing with unfamiliar elven society (possible interest of Houses Phirlan & Thuranni - Thuranni is the rangers' favoured organization)
- Elven unfriendliness to dragonlike critters/Possible mention in the draconic prophecy/Possible draconic interest
- Interest of the undying councilors themselves, for and against
- Anyone interested attempting to capture both party & ravid
The Cathedral of the Silver Flame:
- Some of the party members are warforged, and Thrane has indentured all of its warforged
- Getting into the cathedral with a big dragonlike critter
- Interest of Houses Phirlan & Thuranni, 'cause they're ubiquitous
Somewhere in the depths of Xen'Drik:
- Finding out where to go (library time, chasing clues, could turn this into a quest in itself)
- Possibly getting a patron for the journey (the site will have archaeological interest)
- Getting there (sea encounters, getting through the wilderness, giants/drow/etc.)
- Some sort of divine-magic-related ritual to strengthen the manifest zone enough for the critter to pass through
Anyone else have ideas?
