I'm back. Hey there, Gary.
Mordenkainen the Magnificent, your character, lives in the Obsidian Citadel, correct?
What is Mordenkainen like? What does he do to enjoy himself in life? How long has he lived? And does he plan lichdom?
Why doesn't Mordenkainen go and remove Ivid and free the peoples of Aerdi from the tyranny of the Fiend Seeing Throne?
Why does he choose neutrality instead, and why did he form the Council of Eight?
I realize you did not produce the From the Ashes Boxed Set, or I would ask: why didn't Mordenkainen bring back Tenser and Otiluke, and proceed to teleport down to the Bright Desert and fry those two traitors, Rary and Robilar?!
And why is the Obsidian Citadel way up in the northern Yatils? It's COLD up there, in the northern Flanaess (no magic to moderate that climate!)
