[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7055845, member: 6704184"] [MENTION=996]Tony Vargas[/MENTION] the line between our world and The Otherworld is, generally, fairly thin, and there is more overlap than in standard DnD. Some places are more like Manifest Zones in Eberron, where the world is both our world and The Otherworld, while others you have to do something to go from one to another, and in still others you can't move Between without great risk. Because Between is a place, too, and [i]it is not empty.[/i] As for the Tuatha, there is some blurring, and colloquially people call most humanoid "pretty"* Fey, Tuatha, while Fey use the right terms. The old myths are pretty close to accurate, as I first used this setup in my alt history earth setting, Crossroads. A world where The Morrigan made a deal with Mordred to help him beat his treasonous half brother Arthur, and by binding herself to his line, ie they made babies together, she brought The Otherworld closer to our world, and his kept magic from fading. People call her The Queen Mother, now, amongst her many other names. So, the relationship between the Fomorians and Tuatha is pretty much the same, and the Fomorians are of the same race as the Jotuns and the Titans. I don't know enough about the Fir Bolg to have found a place for them yet. [MENTION=82504]Garthanos[/MENTION]: great observations. In my worlds, Odin and Lugh are definately separate beings, but they also definitely get along. I've toyed with the idea of Lugh being the same being as one of Odin's brothers, though, along with either Thoth, or maybe finding a SE Asian or Indiginous American deity for he third brother. [MENTION=82106]AbdulAlhazred[/MENTION]: there is definitely still a distinct world of the dead, but it's hard to say how strongly it is connected to parts of The Otherworld, or if it really is separate in terms of DnD planes, or just very concrete and hard to get in and out of areas of the Ltherworld. The Norse Nine Worlds definately exists, though. Jotunheim was the setting for a big adventure we had, and is home to a race of Leonid dragon people, as well as Goliaths, Trolls, Ogres, and some others, besides the Giants and Titans and Fomorians. and mega fauna. The World Tree itself can be visited as a world, and is an infinite forest where every tree is part of The Tree. [/QUOTE]
