On this big island the characters are on lives a vampire lord deep inland and in a mountain castle. He used to be a lord of a town that has long since been destroyed/abandoned now making way for natural and unnatural creatures to roam the woods that have since grown back. This vampire is about 1000 years old.
I'm looking for some ideas for how the characters might find out about him and maybe some ideas of how he turned and how this town he lorded over was destroyed.
This is a Homebrew world and demons will play a big part.
These sorcerer's who worship demons are looking for demon stones to open a gate to unleash the demon abyss on the world. These stones are scattered throughout the world.
My initial idea was that a wizard who once worked for this lord open a demon portal unleashing demons. The Lord and his men killed the wizard, and the demons but not without great cost. The town was destroyed, the people killed, and the Lord left dying by the bite of a demon. Except he didn't die, he turned. Some of his men who didn't die eventually died by this new hunger of the Lord, some turned into spawn.
The Lord fed in the lands below, hunting whatever he could until a hill giant saw him hunting, his speed and strength awed the giant and thought this lord was a god. So he became his servant which he feeds off mostly.
This is just an idea, if anyone has any ideas on how to make it better, or has a different idea altogether. I'm not sure how the heroes find out about him as NO one in the town even knows the history of that town since it was so long ago. I don't want the whole people disappearing scenario as I feel that it's overused.
Any help would be appreciated!
