Current Plot Theories
There are a number of theories:
Original Theory One
Initially, I thought the plot was all about us. Later I realised it
wasn't - and we were just a means to an end - a scatter gun approach to getting
some of us...
Theory Two - The Cabal are trying to dipose Mystra
Having obviously got the Gatekeeper crystal, the Cabal have moved onto their
main event. The killing off Mystra's Chosen may be just another "minor
obstacle" rather than a main event - but along with the use of shadow weave...
and the lack of further details to go on - and having just finished reading
"The Temptation of Elminster" - well diposing of Mystra seems like
an iteresting line...
Theory Three - expanding on Theory Two -
OF COURSE, having said that - the various references to "other worlds"
that this game throws up - Dryfton, Rane and Carlett, the hints from Jewelia's
divinations... well there may be something more akin to the plot from Raymond
E Feist - the Rift War saga... Another world entirely intending to "take
over ours". Mystra and her weave may just be another obstacle to remove
to make that process easier...
But I've no real evidence for THAT theory... :-)
