So I've got a pretty wild campaign going, with intentions of getting my players into some seriously high level sht. One is a Harengon bard who straight up came from the Feywild (i played with him solo from level 1 to 3 in the feywild before he was hurled into the prime and ended up joining the others who started at 3), and another is a Shadar Kai warlock who sold his soul to Lilith (an arch devil) in exchange for a human heart and a life on the prime (he is from the Shadowfell) and of course his warlock powers (this naturally displeases the Raven Queen..).
There is far greater intrigue but I just wanted to give an idea of the scope of this campaign setting off the top. Getting to the point, this level of interplanar intrigue and the war that wracks the land is being orchestrated by what turns out to be a Raavasta. I would like the party to defeat his assumed form as a Book One boss, if you will, him being revealed but getting away, then again later on at full strength, to a similar outcome, and then bringing him back for a final late game appearance having undergone the transformation into an Altraloth. This works well as the endgame goal of the campaign, though the players don't know it yet, is going to be to be the ones who strike down the Hag Countess Malagarde (she is a night hag, and night hags are the ones who perform the altraloth ritual) from the seat of the 6th Hell as her invasion of the Feywild caused the death of the Spring Dryad and Tree which caused a famine on the prime by disrupting the spring blossom. It turns out, in the end, that the Raavasta was hired by and everyone was played by Asmodeus the whole time in a grand scheme to, among several other things, put his daughter Glasya, who has been posing as the level 20 Cleric guide of the party for the second and third books, on her "rightful" place on the throne of the 6th.
So thats the premise, the question is, does anyone have experience with Altraloths at all, let alone the existence or concept of one who originated as a Raavasta? Seems like the sky is the limit with the transformation, but I thought I'd see what people had to say. Thanks!
