CHICKEN ADVENTURES
·   What is clearly a Gawd appears before you, and beseeches you to go on a quest to SAVE THE WORLD!  You aren't buying it, you don't know him or his place in the scheme of things.  At which point they turn to "I'm a Gawd, do it or I make your life Hell" as a way of selling it.
·   Your position in the pecking order has suddenly changed, along with a great many others.  You need to find out what's going on.
·   Thpptt, the Slug God, is drunk and high, and sleeping it off in your bedroom.  Much against your will.  He claims he's been kicked out of Heaven, so for your own peace of mind you have decided to find out how to get him reinstated.

Hello! Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, in Dungeons & Dragons 3.5e, warlocks works with magic the same way as other arcane casters - through touching the Weave. However, it is impossible not to notice the "dark" orientation of the warlock's invocations - all his magic refers to the Nine Hells or has a "dark" theme    . So, from lore's point of view, what is the source of the warlock's magic in the 3e? And how can a warlock with a good alignment have access to the dark magic of this class? Bring down all the power of lore and fluff on me, please, I need it right now!
