Hey gang. Since I like to incorporate themes, even if the players don't catch it on a conscious level I like those nice 'aha!' moments when a player gets it later, when I decided there where seven sorcerer kings, I -had- to associate them with the cardinal sins.
That said, I'm mixed on some of the assignments, and stuck on Gluttony. Any of these assholes can be 'Pride' of course.
I'd like the magic to tie into the Gluttony; since they haven't yet met the Necromancer, I could make him a Ghoul King...
Here's my cliff notes:
The Sorcerer Kings are neither necessarily Sorcerers or Kings, but they ARE powerful spellcasters that rule tracts of the Lost Lands.
- Kasdeya Ecstasy - The Despotrix. Lust Female Tiefling wizardess (diviner).
- Munkar - The Scorpion. Greed Rival of Petros the Black, trained by the Black Scorpion mages, believed to have ties to Marignon.
- Vuhlkar - The Necromancer. Sloth Never seen by his regular citizens, it is said he is busy with research and maintenance of the nation. He has an often changing group of "Most Excellent Apprentices" who infight and run things day-to-day.
- 'Humungous' - The Warlord. Wrath Little is known of the lord of the wastes, he is believed to be a giant, and has mighty personal magics and no patience for dissent.[li/]
- King Maladrach - The King Envy The grasping king of the Twisted Forest.
- Keraptis - The Ancient. Pride The scheming (mad) wizard and crafter of horrors, Lord of White Plume Mountain. His mountain moves regularly.
'Humungous' started from a smart ass joke/comment from the players when they encountered the sand-blasted, scrawny servants that talked about their 'mighty master'. Jokes on them when they meet the Empyrean sorcerer king in the Hockey Mask.
Yes, it's THAT Keraptis. I made White Plume Mountain move a la the mountain in Krull.
Munkar is straight up the bad guy from Deathstalker.
King Maladrach is the ruler from Tyranny of Dragons, redone. He's a villain in his own right.
