Roguelike plot

Besides homework, my main project right now is writing a roguelike (I have most of the engine up and running, but still needs a lot of work). Now what I haven't got at all is a good plot of some sort. That's where I'd like some help. The basic premise is:
1) Middle-age Swords and Sorcery setting
2) There are procedurally generated dungeons the player navigates in search of treasure and stuff, but also a pretty large overworld (most of which will be generated as well)
3) "Permadeath" will most likely be present, which means that when you die, you can't reload an old savegame for that character. Might add some resurrection through god belief or something.
4) 2d game using ASCII characters instead of tiles. This is due to my complete lack of graphical skills, and it's a lot easier to program.
If anyone has a plot they've wanted to see in a game, please share!
