The writers involved have mentioned that they had few concrete plans for the ToUD, except that many things in the Demiplane would worsen. I just wanted to contribute that one of the most cataclysmic events which could ever occur in Ravenloft would be the shattering of the Deathstone, the Boristi major artifact detailed in "Legacy of the Blood". Imagine two thousand Specters being unleashed in Borca's capital city!

You may want to read through on Joels current campaign re: the Death stone.
His PC's are currently in Har-Akir, but they are deeply entangled with Ivana and the Death stone at this point.
Though they have had minor dealings with Ivana for quite some time, the main Borca/Ivana arc starts around session
#85 iirc, but the deathstone comes to the fore in
#94.

Interesting! I'm planning on doing the same thing in regard to wizards learning spells, and I especially liked the good continuity and logic displayed in providing a way for the heroes to be reach Har'akir. It certainly makes sense that they could have saved a Vistanti caravan from Aderre, and more sense that the gypsies would thus be willing to conduct the heroes to the desert domain.
