[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7473005, member: 6801228"] Right, ignorant. They have no concept of the true threats outside of their little island of a world. Now tell me, if we were to make a list of all the times in literature the people ignorant of the "true paradigm", which list is bigger. The list of those people being portrayed in a positive light or the list of those portrayed in a negative light? I've got no horse in this race, but this is the essential problem when you begin setting up an "over-setting" which is the "true shape of the multiverse". This is the part which gets people's hackles up. In fact, it is also the reason why there are some people who when seeing Ravnica being announced, and knowing that Ravnica or Dominara or what have you has previously been portrayed as "The Center of the Multiverse" or a concourse of multi-dimensional portals, have immediately been saying "well those people in their corner of reality think they are the center, but everyone knows that the true center is Sigil and these people are just now being discovered and being shown the true wider world" Whether or not Eberron people who talk about Spelljammers or a Ring City get thrown in the loony bin is incidental, though a symptom, of this perception that "you don't know the 'real truth' of reality and what it looks like" which isn't a positive state for people. But it is very easy to see it as being implied, since the people of planescape see a far bigger picture than the people of the individual settings. [/QUOTE]
