Sh [SG] Post Game Writeup.

In short, the hazard facing the world was that some crazy mage figured out a way to tap the sun, and no-one had yet figured out that the mathematics of certain enchantments requires energy upkeep that grows geometrically.  And the nature of geometrical growth rates is that they will exceed any finite number in a relatively short period of time.  So, to put it simply, someone was going to temporarily extinguish the sun.

The PC was basically chosen for being free to act, but far enough away from the problem that it would give the character enough time to get ready and attack from an unexpected direction, so to speak.  You were also far enough away that it would be extremly unlkely for you to get killed early on.  The conventional RPG thing of having the hero come from the first place at risk of attack would have been all-too likely to end badly at once.
