plotline so far:

- all 5 party members are presented with a key! the question is,
was the key given to them at birth? was the key given to them in a letter?
and what does thekey look like? is it physical key? or a body part?
a tattoo? is it a code? a rhythm that they could repeat? a series
of notes? whatever the key is all 5 party members have one
and mysteriously feel connected to it! they aren't sure why and this quest
will fill in the blanks and explain the mysterious origins of this strange
key!

- the keys are actually presented to them in some way/form by a being called a PLANESWALKER

-Planewalkers; by defintion in THIS particular D&D campaign are:
"Beings that can travel through dimensions at their will." in this universe
these beings are revered as gods, or even in some cases
fictitious. (they are most definitely not) (they're not gods as they did
not creative these universes, they only watch over them)

- in total there are 6 planewalkers that refer to themselves as
"The council of Six." when they are not materialising through universes
and observing all forseeable life they are spending their time in a place
outside of existence called "The Covert plane." these planeswalkers believe
it is very detrimental to existence that they don't interact with the physical
universes. viewing them is fine, speaking through a prophet is even fine but
touching them is not okay and tampering with the fabric of reality is not
okay!! they view the world like an ant farm, from afar and with slight intruige

-each planeswalker has vault! there are 6 vaults! (called The Cosmic Vaults)
each vault contains something personal to each planeswalker. each vault has what each
planeswalker thinks is insurmountable treasures, riches, lively essences, secrets to the most
powerful arcane magic that shouldn't be shown to mankind (or whatever kind lol)
and just really what they think is most important in a general exstiential sense

-planeswalker bob (will make a name later) get's real bored one day and decides to
temper with the physical universe (specifically the planet my party is on)
over decades he leaves prophecies (etched on walls of ancient temples and buildings)
(he makes himself seem like a god, a god to be feared but he's not, he's just like this dude
that was like 'yo check out how cool and important i am' and all his friends are like dude stop)
he makes it clear that there is a vault, he doesn't say where but he says it exists and it's
filled with treasures beyond everyones wildest dreams and there is 5 keys that
open the vault. wouldn't ya know it those 5 keys all end up in the hands of the members
of my party

-so there are prophets who speak with the planeswalkers! this planet has one of those prophets.
the prophet speaks tales of the keys and proclaims to know the guardians of these keys. this prophet
is extremely famous and well known. the prophet begins talking about the keys being dropped
or if i go with the idea the keys were given at birth they talk about the keys being "known"

-word gets out very quickly across the cities and lands (the prophet is an old af elf btw)

-there is a company (a company of idk what yet) on the outside they are just a company that
sells a simple product but it's a front for a very shady and evil cooperation that has been
accused to doing VERY SHADY AND EVIL THINGS (ex. like the institute from fallout i guess but
i've yet to figure out what's so bad that they do or why they do it!! they are really greedy tho
and want those keys to unlock mankinds greatest treasure, ect. ect.)

-CEO of this company kidnaps the prophet and makes them say the names/location of each of these
key guardians

-prophet is freed!! will hopefully be an NPC later in the game that teaches them about the
planeswalkers and the history behind the keys

-CEO sends them all letters to meet up at this dwarven city where an evil shapeshifting wizard
who works for the CEO kills a bar owner, taking his identity and awaits the arrival of my
party members

-when they arrive he takes the identity of this mundane dwarf saying "ah u got my letters ect. ect.
you were all chosen for ur great power and might and i need you to get this ______ for me in
______" which will be like his great great great grandmothers recipe in this crypt a few miles
away from the outskirts of the city. almost like?? unbelievable yet?? somehow really mundane
and believable. which is essentially just a set up because the crypt is filled with traps!!
and a mini boss i'm gonna make (haven't decided what yet)

-the party will find the dwarf at the crypt, awaiting their death!! but they won't die (i'll
make sure of that) and instead be forced to interrogate him hopefully getting at least some
of the answers they need like "why?" and HOPEFULLY this will start a chain of events in which
they will ultimately unravel the mystery, origin and treasure of the 5 KEYS and a vague
understanding of the planeswalkers
