[QUOTE="Rae ArdGaoth, post: 4387291, member: 21064"] Very cool world, Graf. I like the lexicon including slang and imperial words, it would really give playing the Imperium a unique feel. Atanatotatos' deities are a fine selection of modified Greek gods, if we do decide to go that route. There's no truly evil god, which is interesting, but I think in line with the Greek pantheon. I do wonder what the original Greek pantheon advocates (Rystil Arden and Wik) would have to say about that selection, only because they seemed to be very familiar with the deities. And I'm moving towards the "A very few established gods and lots of minor demigods/cults" camp. Wik made a character in LEW who worships Uncle Spider, a minor "saint" of one of the gods. Uncle Spider has a very different flavor than his parent deity, but their goals are in alignment. I think it's important for characters to be able to easily create the characters they want while also maintaining a firm core pantheon for creation myth, culture, and the PCs for whom a tailored religion isn't necessary. The feywild and the shadowlands [I]do[/I] sound cool! And I think Wizards intends for them to be more accessible, possibly as "low-level planes". That's the feeling I get anyway. It would be a simple thing for a DM to create a region of overlap in a forest grove or even a whole forest, very simple. The Imperium, while very cool, might not work for LEW for several reasons, but I think it should be added to the list of settings on the wiki poll page. I am happy to compromise the zones thing, and I think covaithe's idea about a "large central continent" with "zone-filled fringes" is a good idea. Or perhaps we could take Graf's Imperium's idea and have several continent central zones (be they on a floating islands or giant elephants) with smaller zones. ie, L4W mostly takes place on one, but there are other vast continents with ancient, thriving civilizations, and lots of smaller zones too. A good compromise between the flexible and the established, I think. It should be added to the polls' options. [/QUOTE]
