Subject:  Re: Campaign Musings: Bral 200 years later
Okay everybody, this s a request for ideas and input. I am gearing up for my
a new SJ/PS campaign which will lie 200 years after the commonly accepted
current date of the various sources. Here are some of the axioms of the
game, I would love some assistance in exploring the ramifications before we
get started:

Over the past 200 years the College of Celestian has been in control of a
gate to Sigil (City of Doors, Planescape) which has given them access to
almost every plane of existence. The Arcane have become constant customers,
and show a distinct aversion to entering the City of Doors. Rumor has it
they are based out of a demiplane called Union (Epic Level Handbook). Also,
due to the prescence of this ortal the EIN  have now stationed a  Lionheart
class station in Bralspace called  __________ in the sphere. Andru  holds
firm that  it appraoch no closer than  10,000 miles past the  small grouping
of asteroids the  Rock claims as its territory.

Andru still sits upon the throne of Bral thanks to a steady supply of
potions of longevity. He has become more and more paranoid due to
assassination attemps by the descendants of this brother Calar, whom he
murdered in order to ascend the throne. Even after 210 years on the throne
he still but one of a number of powers on the Rock.

The Unhuman War II broke the back of the Scro  War machine, it is only now
that they are starting to pose an organized threat again. The main thing
holding them back is their honorbound treaty with the rest of the Known
Spheres, a treaty brokered by Ilinduril Leafbower (Descendant of the
Legendary Admiral form the Unhuman War I).

The Vodoni Empire has NOT yet been discovered in this variant timeline.

The discovery of an Outpost of the Elders (Juna) by House Seven Stars of
Bral is 200 old. Due to a strange energy pulse the interveing 2 centuries
have seen a massive spike in psionics and sorcery across the known spheres
(This reperesents the transition to the 3.5 ruleset in my universe.)

The Elven Fleet unveiled both psionic helms and cloaking helms about 100
years ago. As far as anyone knows they still hold a monopoly on them.
Rumors, as always, surface of pirates and slavery with these unusual helms.
Many discount them as distorted stories of the Pirates of Gith.

History tells of the "Black Months," a time 200 years prior when the suns
dimmed across the local supercluster of spheres and stayed that way for 3
months. Chaos and confusion were coupled with famine as crops failed on most
planets. While many theories and legends surround this period there is no
way to verify them. The Gods remain silent on the subject, and scrying seems
to be blocked.

Dugkash is now a recognized Scro God and grants spells in most spheres that
have a scro prescence of 1,000 or more.

Due to their status derived from open access to the Portal to Sigil in the
Celestian Temple HOuse Seven Stars has become a powerhouse of trade across
not only several spheres, but also several planes. They maintain a fleet of
9 ships, with an oversized octopus ship christened Valis as the flagship.
(DM note: Valis is equiped with both planar sails and an ethership power
core in adition to a major helm.
