It is said that you ascended to the throne of Cania, the great archdevil Mephistopheles bound to your service by your use of his True Name. News from the depths of the Nine Hells is ever unreliable, but some claim that he served you faithfully, bowing and scraping before you even as he longed for your mortal life to expire. Some tales relate that Mephistopheles would attempt to trick you as he did the Valsharess. Other tales relate that the gods themselves would intervene and alter your fate. Intended for an evil PC that finished HotU; requires SoU + HotU + 1.66.
An appropriate post-HOTU "evil" scenerio, when combined with excellent writing and a compelling story, all contribute to my high vote. While some may complain about it's "shortness", I personally feel as if these short mods. fill a niche' for those of us without alot of time to play an epic scale game.

Brilliant! I'm absolutely impressed with how the causes for conflict fits so perfectly without having to distort any of the original story.

Thanks El Dano. Steve, nothing prevents you from playing the module with a good PC, but doing so makes no logical sense. The module assumes you chose evil quest options in HotU, and the module dialog and quests assume your PC is evil. As to why the module is mature, there are some sexual comments that your PC can make to one of the henchmen that are derogatory. The module includes no foul language and much of the evil is "cartoon evil".

Haildodge - excellent work. I think it's nuts that people praise you up and down and then subtract 1-4 points just because it is short. Does EVERY mod have to be 10+ hours? Hasn't anyone ever heard of a fun single session adventure?? Jeez. Anyway - I thought you captured my assassin's post-HOTU exploits perfectly. I'll definitely look for more mods by you - starting with the sequal. Thanks for sharing such a great piece of work. _________________________ El Dano Black Thorn -- a Forgotten Realms mystery adventure for levels 23-27.

Awesome module! Great story, fun roleplaying, technically very sophisticated, and challenging fights. It's also nice to see something for the villains. Well done and thanks! _________________________ El Dano Black Thorn -- a Forgotten Realms mystery adventure for levels 23-27. Mountain of Mirrors -- a classic PnP conversion for levels 4-7.

Truly an awesome mod. Everything was perfect, atmosphere, dialogs, scripting, though the stuff in the armory was a bit overwhelming. ;)
