A cabal of powerful arcanists have come across an ancient Imaskari ruin containing the bounded soul of an ancient planar weapon called Pandorym. They inadvertently call themselves "The Pandorym" themselves.

Ultimately, their goal is use this weapon to slay the gods and become godly in their own right.

Foreseeing a glimpse of the religious battle to come, the gods have gone on a rampage, looking for "chosen" to fight the coming war. The gods brand many mortals with the divine mark, raising powerful allies on the mortal realm they cannot interact with directly.

The Pandorym have already executed stage one of their schemes. Divine magic across the realms is weakened of a sort, as faithful loose connection if their deities.

The Pandorym have allied themselves with the Twisted Rune who attempt to cause havoc across The Sword Coast. One plot is to control folk from their dreams.

Meanwhile, Temples across the realms fight among themselves blaming one another for the coming doom.
