Forgotten Realms has so much going on I can't keep track of it all. I was running a game when one of my players brought up the spellplague, so I added it into the campaign and then realigned a few things as the party started getting higher in level. They were level 12 when they started a whole series of planar travels and unearthing the master plot piece by piece (the Gods were getting killed off one by one and only Garlglittergold survived, because Gnomes). It wasn't just one big bad guy though, there was a bunch of evil backstabbers clambering to the top (Black Dragon & all her spawn, Vampire Coven, Lich Necromancer). The goal was to give the players the options of becoming new gods and selecting their portfolios to fill the gap of the old gods. The last session I ran with that group, one of the party clerics wanted to become a Hammer of Moradin, he got to meet one of Moradin's avatars in an abandoned forge on top of a mountain and after several crafting rolls and what seemed like days of smithing and constitution checks he finally had a hammer worthy of the god himself (Holy Adamantine Warhammer with a Rod of Empower as a handle), but as soon as he'd finished he found the forge cold and empty, the old smith was gone yet the hammer remained.... I miss that game... sniff sniff.
