My player are currently in Nibenay.

I want some suggestions of ideas I could add to my campaign (not involving the Naggamarakam).

I already read all Dark Sun book involving Nibenay. I need fresh idea's.

My player are interested in House Shom's and the elven tribe.

Here are some suggestions of the top of my head.

Is one a defiler? Or could be mistaken for a defiler? The Veiled Alliance could target him for assassination.

Hired by House Shom to guard a wood cutting expedition to the Crescent Forest

Elven smugglers. The party could either be trying to stop them or trying to obtain an item that only the elves can get.

Or if the party includes or knows other merchants, elven smugglers approach them about selling the illiset goods the smugglers plan to bring into the city. The party has to decide if the risk is worth the profit.

If they are enemies of House Shom they could try to ambush a caravan only to find the guards are really belgoi in disguise.

House Shom has kidnapped a rival and kept the rival captive in a house in Nibenay until a ransom is paid. The rival, maybe a pretty woman, tries to get the party to rescue her and take her to her home city, with promises that her family will reward them.

I've looked at different plot devices in the Ivory Triangle. One idea is to have Temmnya Shom try controlling the Zwuun with an ancient Wind Mage artifact. Another is the House Stel/Sky Singers plot from Elves of Athas, but use House Shom instead.

We play ad&d 2 edt, year of the Mountain Fury (The Psionatrix is about to kick in for the next campaign)

My player are;

- A Tyrian Mul Gladiator lvl 11
- A Thri-kreen Water cleric lvl 11
- An elfe Preserver/Psionist/Thief lvl 10/9/10 from the Sky Singer Tribe
- An Aaracocra Air cleric lvl 6

I've looked at different plot devices in the Ivory Triangle. One idea is to have Temmnya Shom try controlling the Zwuun with an ancient Wind Mage artifact. Another is the House Stel/Sky Singers plot from Elves of Athas, but use House Shom instead.

The Skysinger player just made an Alliance for his tribe with House Shom.

My player are also trying to find the Zwuun, since they are in a long quest to find a way to kill the Dragon. They heard the Zwuunn know some information from the Green Age (since the mage forming the Zwuun were in Nibenay even before Nibenay himself). Right now, they had some puzzle solving involving the Nibenese writting on the wall. They try to decode that and that will lead to some clue on how to contact the Zwuun.

Also, there actually a power struggle with the Sky Singer vs The Clear Water. Both fight an underground war to control the Hill district. As I said, one of the player is with the Sky Singer.


I need some other plot idea revolving around that.

Also, if you have some interesting elfe or templar character to suggest (not the stat but the personality and background)....

I don't have any specific characters, but my campaign hovers around PG-13 in terms of content, and a bunch of topless templars kinda of messes with that. So I use Arcanamachs (Hand of Shadow) and Auditors in their place with the excuse that templars are tending to public works and duties in the Naggamarakam. They could make a nice change of pace.

For an elf character, how about a Night Runner who is adding to the problems between the Sky Singers and the Clearwater tribes. He can either be hired by a third party, or doing it for tribal or personal reasons.
