Something about me I am a newish DM and player having played for about 2 years. My experience dming is with LMoP. I started playing after i discovered Critical Role.
My idea is to have the Children of malice as a villain their plan is to the break the current dynasty way of life by proving that the Bright Queen is going trough typhros (souls that have undergone multiple cycles of the consecution are driven mad when their minds cannot reconcile the memories of many lifetimes), that she is unstable and that Lolth can help them win the war. My problem is that I can't think of a way they would be able to do it. I am asking if anyone has an idea how this could be done?
NOTE: I am not asking for a fully worked out idea just at least a starting point
I dont know what the bright queens stats or abilities are but on a very basic level:
If the Children of Malice can find things out about her past lives, maybe with something like Legend Lore or Contact Other Plane, then things like the Message Cantrip or Sending spell can probably be tweaked to make her think she is hearing voices, various illusion spells can make her see people from her past, Disguise self to make some one look similar but not the same as some one for her past or the Dream spell and Modify Memories to really mess with her.
ou also have poisons and hallucenagenics to mess with her as well.

Hey I'm a Dm that is currently running a wildemount campaign and i think i could help with your problem.
Maybe the Bright Queen might experiences some sort of hallucination and one of the members of children of malice ceases the opportunity by acting as a undercover spy as a healer, adviser or some sort. influencing the bright queen with malicious thoughts and injecting her with power that helps her win the war against the dwendilian empire if she grows desperate by tapping a bit of powers of loth.
I'm inside a discord with other wildemount dm that could help you if you want to flesh out more of your plans.
I'm running a campaign in Wildemount now. I started with Unwelcomed Spirits and now the party is heading south to Asarius with a Kryn Dunamancer npc. I would love to this discord to be able to bounce ideas of other DMs if possible.
I am about to start DM'ing a Wildemount campaign, also using a Group patron from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. I'm a week out from session zero and currently discussing with the party what kind of Patron they might like. I gave them 4 of the options and have idea seeds for all of them to start in either Xhorhas or the Empire, so I'm anxious to see what they pick. Mostly new players. Anyway, point is I saw this thread and if there's a Wildemount DM discord going on anytime I'd love to jump on and chat about ideas sometime. Especially when I have a clearer idea of our campaign, haha. Cheers!
