 Use the idea of conspiracy to create mystery eventually leading to a big series of confrontations and narrative payoff
 The primary challenge with this is coming up with ways to redirect the eventual conspiracy
-IE, you don't want to introduce the ultimate bad guy at the start, there need to be middle men that you work towards defeating prior to capturing the big bad

+IE, you don't want to introduce the ultimate bad guy at the start, there need to be middle men that you work towards defeating prior to capturing the big bad
+
+Another challenge to consider is creating teasers for the narrative peaks.
+IE, if your big bad is supposed to be a dark paladin, how do you tease him in the story without making it a final encounter.
+ - "Visions", "Proxies", etc that aren't the real version
+ - For certain types of creatures (ie dragons), you can have them fly by in a way that wouldn't be easily interacted with
