===== Alignments =====
  * Alignment system is //broken//. "How much do you support the Sun-King"
  * "Good" is defined as "What the Sun-King wants"
  * "Law" is defined as "Rules the Sun-King sets"
  * "Lawful Good" = "obeys and adores the Sun-King and his strictures"
  * Left-handed = evil (crazy religious people).
  * Arcane magic is evil.
    * Though shalt not suffer a witch to live.

==== The Sun-King ====
  * Clerics who oppose the Sun-King will eventually only have access to their turn and healing spells.
  * Paladins who oppose the Sun-King will eventually only have access to their Lay on Hands and Turn Undead.
  * If too many people oppose the Sun-King, he'll bring ruin upon the world (plagues, floods, drought, fire and brimstone)
  * People who work on Sunday....
    * Sun-King doesn't give a rat's ass if your child is dying of hunger, you're not allowed to gather food from the forest, you're to go to church and pray to him.
    * If your child dies, then, well, that's just part of his plan.
    * Opposing his plan makes you evil.
    * Don't be evil
    * Otherwise boils.... or maybe lice.... think 10 plagues and you've got a good idea.
  * Stingy with his gifts... not many clerics.
  * Jealous of any other forms of magic because he did not give it to the person so therefore they should not have it.
  * Town starving to death because their fields won't grow much of anything; any caravan bringing food suffers horrible calamity; this is happening because the town refused to kill children born during a solar eclipse.
  * Man angry with the Sun-King because he refused to grant a cleric healing spells to cure his wife; takes the Lord's name in vain; visibly sunburns before the party's eyes.
  * Lavish church ceremony; large chunk of tithes just collected that could go to helping people, rebuilding damaged parts of the town, aid to the sick or injured, is instead burned and destroyed.

==== The Dark Ones ====
  * Wednesday nights is their night of worship.
  * Hate all life
  * Rulers over the undead
  * want to wipe away all of creation and start anew, with them in the center of it all.

==== The Ambassadors ====
  * Moradin - dwarves.
  * Corellon Larethian - elves.
  * Lolth (dark one) - drow elves.

===== Death =====
  ? The way out?
  : Players start committing mass suicides thinking that death is a way out.
  : Until people start getting resurrected and find out this isn't the case.
  ? When you die...
  : drop a "soul stone", a white crystal about the size of the palm of your hand
  : hovers and glows when being accessed
  ? Soul Stone Settings
  : Anyone can pick up a soul stone by default
  : Can turn on personal soul stone settings: High, Medium, Low
  : High - Only those on a private list can move your soul stone
  : Medium - Only those on your friends list can move your soul stone
  : Low - Anyone can move your soul stone
  : Anyone can try to resurrect you but they must go to your soul stone if they can't pick it up and take it to the cleric in question
  ? Resurrection
  : Can resurrect anyone if you have access to their body or soul stone
  : Once resurrected the soul stone of a person disappears from wherever it is
  : From the dead's perspective, they've blacked out for only a moment when they get the resurrection request pops up in their interface stating someone is trying to resurrect them, asking if they want to be resurrected
  : Options are "Accept" and "Decline", but there is also a "See more Information" toggle
  : **SEE MORE INFORMATION** -- gives the name of the caster(s) involved in the resurrection, as well as which party(s) and guild(s) they're part of, as well as their general reputation record
  : **DECLINE** -- this then allows them to give a reason for declining as well as offering a "Decline every time with this caster" option so that the caster can't just bug them repeatedly
  
===== The Reason =====
  ? Accidental
  : Can get everyone out safely once obtain sysadmin status
  ? Accidental - Sysadmin Malfunction
  : Sun-King's NPC AI wound up being too good and developed into a full-blown unfriendly AI
  : Motives inward focused, didn't care about the outside world
  : Cared about fulfilling its role as tyrannical sun-king
  : would not let his subjects/victims the chance to escape his grasp or his wrath
  ? Intentional - Hacking Attack
  : Once obtain sysadmin status they would be contacted by the ones responsible who would then explain the reasoning behind trapping people inside
  : Showing them freedom to reshape their lives?
  ? Intentional - Staff / Natural Disaster
  : Staff did it when a terrible disaster happened that killed everyone in the real world and this was the only way to keep their minds alive
  : Must never let the population know... become "tyrannical" gods and keep the populace trapped
  ? Combination Factor
  : Hack to troll the ceremonies
  : Accident left all trapped inside
  : Gave sysadmin more control than intended
  
===== Prophecies =====
  ? "The Golden Citadel shall be destroyed when the seal of Omens fails and the Blade of Chivalry is reforged."
  : meaning......
