[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9276447, member: 6802378"] [I]Living amoung souless nPC is really horrible. Think about that: you have to choose to vote between Neo, Trinity and Morpheus, but it is totally useless because the elections winner always be the agent John Smith.[/I] Maybe the Dark Powers don't create new domain in the way you guess, but maybe they "recover" timelines with a bad ending about to be "deleted" becaue time-travelers saved the day. For example there is an alternate Krynn where the Kingpriest becomes the one deity, and it is a dystopy until a group of heroes avoid it. Then the Dark Powers "catch and recycle" that dystopian or apocalyptic timeline to become a dread domain. Volo was in Ravenloft for a relatively short time, and the famous Lord Soth was a dark lord for a time, and also Vecna before becoming a deity. The demiplane can't be only a "hell" because there are innocent people suffering and the evil creatures are allowed to cause more damaged. A true purgatory should be focused toward the redemtion. The Dark Powers seems to want to promote the evil. Other point is if wicked or nobleheart character are psichologically tortured, those traumas leaves very serious consequences that are not easily treatable. I mean if the psychological stress caused by fault of Dark Powers is too serious, then those victimas become "inoperative", or at least Intellectual performance deteriorates too much. They lose their cunning and make more and more mistakes. If the Dark Powers "burn their toys", then they aren't useful any more. And maybe there are internal fight within the Dark Powers. Then a faction could help a group of heroes to harm the interests of another group. Or maybe "innocent people" in Ravenloft are reincarnation of criminals from a previous life, or people with a "spark" of Tharizdum, the elder elemental eye, and then the demiplane is like a nuclear cemetery for radioactive waste. Then some souls can escape when they are suffered enough because that "spark of Tharizdum" has been "purgerd". Some times some souls can reincarnated out of the demiplaned, and later in again.
