Well, you asked me to help you un-uninspire yourself, here I am.

I might as well start with what I think the mindset of the Aboleths might be. My thinking is that, after so long (presumably) in a black hole, the Aboleths would themselves be altered at least mentally. They, once planning to dominate 'lesser' species (and perhaps ally with their 'equals'), would now be more destructive in nature (like a black hole). Basically, everything an Aboleth finds that isn't also an Aboleth (or sepulchre, or whatever), it wants to kill or convert (or something along those lines). One could think of the Aboleth homeplanet as a great big "black hole", with the Aboleths (playing the role of horrible, crushing, warping gravity) spreading outwards far in every direction to bring everything under control of the Aboleths. I'm not sure how that would be represented in-game, though (small death dominion? lots of unrest from undead, mindraping, betentacled beasts roaming around (so you'd have to patrol heavily to keep up your income, resulting in fewer people or less income)?).

I'll post more when I have time (I don't right now, you see).
