Heroes of the Borderlands, Part 11


11. This module’s dramatic climax battle happens when the Shrine of Evil Chaos is conquered and thus unable to be used to offer blood and souls sacrifices to an evil immortal.  In this location, there is a tiny crack in the fabric of reality that connects the Material Plane to the Lower Planes.  That crack is an ideal location for the Chaos sacrificial altar to give blood and souls to an evil immortal.

If these Chaos sacrificial altars could be located anywhere; then why not build one under the Keep?  Documenting the main reason why the Chaos sacrificial altars are located here - could give Lawful people an edge on finding and then destroying other Chaos sacrificial altars.

Closing that crack will be a great benefit to Lawful people who live or travel within that river valley.  The long-term impacts on Chaos, if Lawful people destroy many Chaos sacrificial altars, are up to each individual DM to decide.

First, this destruction of a Chaos Shrine will attract the attention of both Chaos and Lawful immortals.  Second, this will lead the player character to seek out and then destroy more Chaos Shrines.  Will this one event start a war where Chaos and Law attack each other’s shrines and temples?
