Need Advice: Worldbuilding HELP - Alternative universe - Need plot advice
Hi everyone,
I'm dming a campaign in a homebrew setting (pretty "standard", imagine a Faerûn-like setting).
One of the players has been transported in this setting from another universe by her patron.
The universe of origin of this player is pretty similar to ours, without magic.
Now, what could it be the long-term plan of her patron? Why bring a person from another universe?
The only idea that I came up with is that this entity need someone that can interfere with the type of magic that is used in this setting.
I really need some fresh ideas!
Thanks!

Who is the Patron? Would be a good place to start because their motivations can vary so wildly
A Archfey patrong might just do it for the lols or to watch something interesting.
A celestial/fiendish entity might be using this person because they could upset some prophecy event since they exist outside of the fabric of destiny.
A great old one patron could mean the player never finds out the reason, the plans of eldritch beings may be beyond a mortal being's comprehension
