Quest Suggestion #3 |

And the third one....
We have two Necromancers - one of them is the undertaker at Narrow End - in Silgrad and we have the dark Forgotten Forest North of the Town.
There could be evil things going on with lots of zombies, undead, skeletons, even vampires...
I canŽt imagine the exact plot of the story yet, but I think thereŽs much potential in it...

I think this is one of the quests we should weave the bards into. Say, create a faction called Silgrad Bards, have all the bards in Silgrad a member of that faction, and then have random quest-related stories/songs which are linked only to Silgrad Bards ? And then have one or two of them stories about things that supposedly happen/happened in the Forgotten Forest.

Lots of necromancers! |

Valderon,
Is the second Necromancer you refer to mine? Shal? Or do we have three necromancers in town? Hehe...
As for plot and quests, I have the storyline for Zhalkallum Shal pretty well worked out at this point...

Hi Sheikizza,
Reena and I asked ourselves the same question. I just know that somewhere else was a 6th-house worshipper mentioned of whom I thought he might be fitting into this 'spoiled-rich-people-worshipping-daedra' storyline (which on the other hand would be a good distraction for Shal IMHO) and there was somewhere somebody else, too, who wanted to make a necromancer. So that would sum up to three plus a 6th-houser ... it seems that dark times attract dark people.
Greetings

Well, one of my houses has a 6th house worshipper. Feel free to use her however you want
IMHO, the key here is the Forgotten Forest. It's an ideal meeting place for worshippers - especially if we manage to create some kind of mystery surrounding it. Perhaps we could spread some superstitions around the townsfolk - so that they are afraid of entering it.
Of course, we'd need a more definite story about the place - these are just general thoughts.

Why is the Forgotten Forest forgotten? |

Hi Ashen Shugar,
thanks a lot for kickin' my brain into gear.
I remember when Sheikizza came up with the story of her necromancer and his ancestor I had some suggestions how we could make Shal's predecessor a long lost memory, nobody alive can remember.
So here's another idea (although I may miss one or another detail and Sheikizza, I hope this fits into your storyline; please tell me, if not): IMHO we could make the Forgotten Forest the place where the ancestor of Shal was finally defeated and with his dying breath he cursed the place. This would explain why the people are reluctant to go there (without remembering why; Reena just reminded me that it is of vital importance that nobody remembers what happened in Silgrad Tower and the forest centuries ago ... apart from Shal, of course), it would explain why the 'spoiled-rich-daedra-worshipping-people' chose this place for their rituals (adds to the eerie thrill) and it would be an area the witches might want to 'uncurse' or better 'heal'.
Hit me with your comments.
Greetings
Quentin Fortune

I like everything i've read here so far!
If Shal is going to be connected with the bored rich demon worshippers, I think it would be cool for him to perhaps use them for most of the quest storyline.. you know, using them for their money, or their influence, grant them minor boons in return, which they take to be great powers (for example, he gets someone to throw Imperial investigators off his tracks after he became a little sloppy with his gravedigging, and in return he casts a spell on them and tells them they will "live to be ancient", but really it just accelerates their aging so that wither away and die, something like that), and eventually at some point when he is confronted it is at a time when he is meeting with them and it turns out that all along he planned to make them into his/her zombies or worse... and so then the PC is forced to fight his way through them if he/she wants to confront Shal violently.
just thoughts, i dunno if this fits at all.

This part of an aging spell is an excellent idea. Could add to the drama, if there might be possibility to reverse the spell.
I just hadn't planned to have the rich spoilies led by Shal, but by (one of) the other Necromancers, the Undertaker most probably (there are too many necromancers around, I'm losing track :look. But it could be a good idea, if Shal, at some point of the story, gets rid of his 'rival' and gets hold of our little circle. Then they would most definitely have bitten more than they could chew.

We might have 4, I am working on Necromancer for Reich Parkeep. But he might just tie in to some local quests.

Okay, what if, during the PC investigation of the Forgotten Forest, the PC is fed information that leads them to believe that nothing too important is going on, just a bunch of rich bored people getting their jollies? Then, when the PC slowly starts to uncover things that don't fit with that scenario (perhaps with the help of a few old tomes they might recover), they tumble into the story of Shal and find themselves in over their head (if they indeed had believed that what they were investigating really wasn't that dangerous).

Sounds good. I think after finishing my murder quest, IŽll start with one of the main quests.

I've come up with my own take on this, however...it doesn't really have anything specifically to do with necromancers (they are SO overused, it's absolutely ridiculous, no offense anyone ). It has a bit to do with some messed up summoning, however, and yes, it has historical significance, in the fact that no one knows what happened, or exactly why, but they know what the effects have been (and yes, I have come up with a number of...coincidences). Give me a few more days and I'll have something a bit more cohesive.

Katse,
sincwe I don't know, I have to ask: have you followed the complete story of Sheikizza's - may the gods bless her - necromancer Zhalkallum Shal?
This is in my opinion a good necromancer story, most of the things mentioned here are additional things from another quest I once came up with and we tried to combine both storylines.
So, if you haven't read it, go for it.
And I'm eagerly awaiting your ideas.
Greetings
Quentin

You can find Sheikizza's main idea here.
To find more information about things related to this nefarious character, search for 'Zhalkallum', it will bring up quite a few results.
