Day of Judgement?

Besides the Wolfen War (whenever it comes) which of the other
"mega plots" around PFRPG do you feel will change the world as it
is known if it comes about?

My vote is the combination of the 300,000 plus orcs, goblin, ogres massing at
the Western Empire border and the the
Nimiro Giants invadling the Old Kingdom Low Lands.
This could be really bad for the Western Empire as the Middle
Kingdom prepare to revolt again. Unfortunately, I don't see the
Black Demon Ship helping them on this one. I'd love to be apart
of the adventure that finds a way to keep this from happening.

In no particular order, the following strike me as world-shaping events that have been foreshadowed or are already occuring:

-Wolfen Empire vs Eastern Territories
-Timiro slave revolt
-Western Empire expansionist tendancies, and their impending civil war
-The weakening of the magical wall of the Land of the Damned
-Shadow Coast rebellion
-Kingdom of Giants vs the Gromek
-The attack on the Library of Bletherad

Also what about the impending world shattering cataclysmic event, that Slayer of Mountains is preparing the Western Empire, and Emperor Itomas for??
Although thing we will never see where that was going without Bill Coffin

They got through 2 or 3 and you don't hear about it anymore. Same thing here. You have one of the most powerful wizards on the planet, teamed up with the planets most corrupt power, because...?

Huh... I'm not a RIFTS player (don't even like most of the system), but I'm pretty sure I can think of 5 of those dangers off hand that have been fully elaborated upon.

Personally though, I like that not all the big plot hints in PF are fleshed out. That's where GM'ing comes in! They are sourcebooks and worldbooks, not adventure books, and they are there to provide the push needed for us to get on the way to great adventure. If they fully fleshed out all the stuff they hint at, there wouldn't be much left for us to do :-)
