PrincesOfHeaven

Princes of Heavens is a Dragon-Blooded-Campaign I recently cooked up. It is centered around a small Brotherhood of dynastic Terrestials, who get into conflict with Tepet Fokuf himself and are forced to become outcasts, as they resist the power of Fokufs forces. However, they do not chose to leave the Realm and to turn against it; they do it because of their sense of duty. The characters have a terrible secret which makes them renegades, but which is also given to them due to a prophecy directly linked to the maidens. After their escape from the Realm, they build up an army in the Scavenger Lands and march against the forces of the Realm to fulfill their destiny. At least, this is how I planned it.

The campaign is inspired by the PSX-RPG "Suikoden" (it's great, play it). The characters have some kind of zodiac sign or star constellation, which determines their fate. They are all part of one prophecy, which makes them change the face of creation and the Realm as a whole. I will soon give more information about it.

By the way; the secret, the characters carry around is a mighty, mighty artifact Fokuf wants to possess.

• I have to ask. Not to sound despairing to your idea, cause the Suikoden angle truly rocks, but… Fokuf? As in the Tepet Fokuf? Like... Regent Fokuf? Isn't being threatened by Fokuf sorta the equivalent to having someone sick their Chihuahua on you? Mnemon I could see worrying someone enough to scare them out of the Realm, but Fokuf spends most of his time wanking to the Immaculate Text. Is he going to be a bit more able of a ruler in your game? - Greymane
  • Well, you're quite right; it is actually not Fokuf who is after the secret. He is a fat, lazy Regent and nothing more but he I easy to manipulate and you're right; Mnemon has a role in this to play (to the good or to the bad). Remember that it was Windy who convinced Babarossa in "Suikoden" to hunt the PCs. Fokuf is in fact nothing but puppet of the mightier beeings. I thought of an Ancient Sidereal, loyal to the Empress, who sees the Realm struggeling toward chaos and who wants to strengthen it.The PCs have wondered,too, why Fokuf could be so badly after the secret. They also thought that there must be something else. Jiba
