Heres the thing. Theres a bajillion things going on at any given time in a campaign setting. There are people rallying for troll rights and such. But heres the other thing: nobody really is interested in that. If your character, lets say Jadestone mcwhatshis name is walking down a street in sharn, and hes heading to Brians antique shop, the DM isnt going to mention the three guys preaching the word of the purple dragon, it just isnt important. I'm sorry, but you've got a valid point about how lots of things in history involve the common people, but remember this as well, would you rather be a nameless soldier in a handful of battles, or a man who does something unique and important. Thats the entire purpose of DnD, and all other roleplaying games. Oh, and on a side note, more of that sort of thing will be in my next campaign. Did I just counteract everything I just said?

Actually the guys preaching the word of the purple dragon, adds a good flavor to the city, and while it may not have a damn thing to do with anything..it might. (see other post)
The little things add flavor to the game,the make it seem that the PC's aren't the only ones in the game, and it addds to the beliveability, when you goo looking for random things.
I knew it was a bad idea to use the term "Purple Dragon." I intended to use that as a random term, not in a reference to the assorted already existent groups with that name.
I just made it up *taps nose* it's all in how you word things
in fact I want to work in the Purple dragon syndicate somehow now...
Look in the Complete Warriors. There already are the Purple Dragons, its a prestige class.
