WISHLIST: ANOTHER herbert sherbert weird kenjammin original questline based off the descent to avernus module!

TITLE: GASP! POLITICAL INTRIGUE! SPIES! DANGER! THE COUNCIL OF LORDS! AMN! OCS AND NPCS WE WRITE TOGETHER! THE ELECTION OF NOT ONE, BUT THREE DIFFERENT DUKES DURING THE TRIAL OF VANTHAMPUR. ESCANDALO….

REAL TITLE: a sprawling political campaign we write together based off various sources of dnd media.

TIMELINE: post-act 3 (duke ravengard verse.)

NOTE: this is WYLL-SPECIFIC, i also have ideas for vampire, githyanki, shar, mystea stuff….. but idk if yall wanna see that lol. if you want, you can steal these ideas for your own rps! would be fun, show me your rps!

RELEVANT DND INFORMATION:

amn is a city like baldur’s gate, but actually a nice place to live. theyre a lot newer, but they’re extremely powerful, and they HATE bg for stealing their business, they DON’T want them in the council of lords, n there are potential conspiracy plots and assaination plots alluded to potentially.they have a history of war with bg as well. amn is NOT in the council of lords, but they are an entire state apparatus

council of lords members:

Amphail: Lord Dauner Ilzimmer

Baldur's Gate: Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate and Marshal of the Flaming Fists Ulder Ravengard (now grand duke wyll ravengard.)

Daggerford: Duchess Morwen Daggerford

Longsaddle: Dowell Harpell

Mithral Hall: Queen Dagnabbet Waybeard

Mirabar: Marchion Selin Ramur

Neverwinter: Lord Protector Dagult Neverember

Silverymoon: High Mage Taern Hornblade

Waterdeep: Open Lord Laeral Silverhand (she was also the leader of the Alliance)[4]

Yartar: Waterbaron Nestra Ruthiol

baldur’s gate is ruled by the council of four. this was:

vanthampur: captured or killed after betraying elturel and ulder, her seat will be up for election either way

polmyer: largely lazy conflict averse old man

stelmane: killed, her seat will be up for election

ulder: wants to step down for his son, was deposed by gortash, is still the marshal of the flaming fists, but the seat may be open for election as wyll takes on the role during a period of martial law

there are hundreds of refugees out of the city gate

there is already not enough room for lesser nobles to have manors and estates in the upper city, some of the nobles are actually quite poor due to failing businesses

space and resources are not being properly allocated, there is a whole nature reserve for dusthawks, but this space could be used for housing or hunting

in general, nobles CANNOT be seen helping people, it is a sign of weakness, any support for the common people has to be veiled, including bids for electoral candidates. if a noble helps someone publically, they usually end up dead unless theyre really really smart or powerful

even if you are elected, there is so much red tape, it is honestly better to simply join a crew and protect ur community that way

elections include the votes of the common people

the watch only helps the nobility, and humilates and is violent towards commonpeople for the most slight of infractions

the flaming fist SUCKS except for ulder. so whats ulders fucking deal. he is the comissioner gordon of baldur’s gate, i guess

any incoming political ambassadors are interrogated thoroughly to check for spies, it sometimes takes hours at a time, they are Not Trusted

MY PREMISES:

vanthampur is on public trial, two seats are up for election, while wyll is grand duke under martial law

the lord alliance approves of wyll—to an extent, certainly more than gortash, to help him and solidify their allegiance, the lord alliance is coming to baldur’s gate.

in addition, an emissary from amn, who is NOT a spy, and their guard (who ARE spies and such that are there to sow discord and rig the election etc) have come

the cult/conspiracy of ansur has been formed, people who believe in the good of balduran and ansur and believe that the heroes that saved bg actually KILLED ansur have developed into a faction of detractors

tiamut cultists are fighting the remaining dead three cultists to get back tiamut’s hoard of coin, leaving people dead in the fallout

the guild is growing in power, scraping against local crews

the nobles mostly still believe in gortash or at least his vision for the future. some commoners do too. gortash is still a political prisoner, he longs to go back to working on the steel watch.

ulder is back in charge of the flaming fist, however, the people hate them now more than ever. ulder is also falling prey to BAPHOMET’s influence, and will need constant mental healing from the strain.

the refugees need homes and are constantly being preyed on, they do NOT have votes in the election, but they still deserve to be helped

OUR JOB:

make npcs, deal with all this shit!! will be FUN!

this will be A LONG-TERM TWO-PERSON COLLOBORATION, please like this post if you’re interested in doing something like this!

we do not have to ship. at all. platonic is fine. in fact, platonic is great, shipping is also great, but i want to do PLOTTY stuff! ty!
