Hi all,
So, this is something that I am interested in, since it seems to be consensus among the fandom that this is bound to happen in the Blackmoor universe.
- Even though I think it's not backed by Arnesonian canon, you heathens!
That said... Where does this concept come from, and, has it ever been detailed, in canon, or fanon?
I have to confess one thing, though - I personally dislike that Blackmoor is usually used as a sort of footnote in Mystara canon.
The original author did not intend that, and neither is the destruction of Blackmoor at the very end of the story based on anything
Mr Arneson wrote, said, or approved, AFAIK.
THAT said... What do you make of the Beastman(?) Crusades?
Between all that we have of Mystara, Wilderlands, and of course DAVE ARNESON'S actual Blackmoor,
I think this could be an intriguing concept to explore.
Personally, I have my own version of how these events come to pass:
As I have often hinted, in my continuity, the one cataclysmic event I would want to send the "Heirs of the Maiden" through
would be The Saga of the Dragon Cult.
I hint at such an event in the last chapters of The Promised Land, as it is discovered that the magic that essentially holds the world together is DRACONIC in nature...
Yours,
Rafe
