the dead three are obviously gonna play a role, itd would be ridiculous if they didnt.
Mindflayers seem like the obvious disc 1 boss
Also note, this is Forgotten Realms.
Unlike most normal fantasy settings, in FR stuff ties together in weird ways due to the way DnD works.
A plot about mindflayers can quickly become one about demons.
A plot about giants can quickly beocme one about the elemental plane of fire.
Theres a lot of DnD Isms that in turn lead to a lot of strange stories, sort of stories arising from mechanics
