So with the Starchild arc out of the picture, it seems MK needs a new overarching plot line for the year 708. 706 was the Winter Assault and 707 held Matthias' great LotR-like adventure against the Marquis and the forces of uber-hell. It seems only fair the 708 have a big story as well, something to continue holding it together rather than merely letting it dissolve into chaos. So far there have been two suggestions.
The first is to have another group of characters embark on another LotR-ish adventure to delve deep into Nasoj's territory and finish him off once and for all. Nasoj has recently become a bit of a joke. His forces are in shambles and he's too far away to be a viable threat to MK anymore. However, as this storyline would occur in his territory, it will be justifiably difficult without making him look like a recurring villain of the month or something. The only issue with this is that it's an all or nothing ploy. Either he defeats the invading party or dies off. The middle ground of him surviving but being defeated is but the first step down the road of cliche repetetive villain and I think Nasoj should have more respect than that. There IS a possibility that this hypothetical invasion somehow plays into his hands and makes him a viable threat again, setting the stage for future conflict. If anyone has ideas for how this would happen, go ahead.
The second idea revolves around Lilith. Previously in the Starchild arc (if I remember right) she was slated to be defeated and replaced by someone else who then goes insane, but with Starchild out of the running, she remains a viable villain. Already in several stories she has been shown to be gathering forces and power, eating away at Nasoj's power base so she wouldn't need to be established. It would be quite easy for her to simply continue her growth and become a threat to MK.
If anyone else has other ideas for the plot of the year (MK time) then please speak up.
