Cosmic Keystone: Difference between revisions

* Used very literally in the ''[[Dungeons and Dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]]'' adventure module ''The Apocalypse Stone''. The ''Stone of Corbinet'' (which must always be italicised) is the Cosmic Keystone used by the gods to create whichever world you choose to set the campaign in, and which connects it to the other planes. As long as it stays in Castle Pescheour, the Axis Mundi, everything's fine. The castle is watched over and kept secret by the Pescheour family and their servants. The [[Big Bad]] is an exiled prince of the family whose brother was chosen to rule the castle in his stead, and who doesn't even know what the ''Stone'' really does, but wants to steal it so he can play king himself. He sets the player characters up in an elaborate [[Batman Gambit|Batman]]/XanatosGambit to have them steal it in his stead with no idea what they're actually doing. As the world starts to [[EndoftheThe End of the World Asas We Know It|fall apart]] gradually as a result and the heroes eventually find out what they've done, they must hurry to undo their mistake—the [[Big Bad]] certainly isn't going to that, being evil enough to [[Earthshattering Kaboom|let the world be reduced to nothing]] if he can't have his way with things.
