[QUOTE="Telperion, post: 1824946, member: 15711"] Not to mention that the Slarecians were depicted as an ancient, long lost, race that was destroyed/exiled by a one-time-only union of the Gods and Titans. So, if those two groups couldn't get rid of the Slarecians, then there's nothing that can in my book. Anyway, I have yet to pick up the Slarecian book, and I never will. As if SL needed yet another group of bad guys... The one thing that really annoyed me was the fact that at the beginning, when the gazetteer to Ghelspad came out at the very end of the booklet there was talk about how the Planes are locked away by the Gods. How they have set guardians and wards on all the doors, how they control the pathways and so forth. This gave of a very strong Matrix-esque feeling and I loved it, since I have always found Planar Adventuring to be more of a headache than anything good. Totally denying Planar Travel would be just lame, but this way only the mightiest of characters would tempt the wrath of the Gods. Then the whole thing gets messed up by Edge of Infinity and by little bits and pieces here and there... Yep. SL was metaplot free for a good long time. When those metaplot books / novels showed up I took my business elsewhere. I still see SL as a gritty, low-magic, world that is on the brink of destruction. There's a post-apocalyptic feel to it that hasn't gone anywhere for me. And, yes, I didn't particularly like the Termana hardcover as it turned out. If I someday allow my players over to Termana I'll probably shrink those nations significantly and make the whole continent a whole lot more rural and savage. The way I first pictured it...Yes, I'll do just that... Agreed. However, now that I have all the material on SL I need there's probably going to be whole lot of homebrewing on those other continents. I like Ghelspad as it is, and the other continents have potentia. I just have to deconstruct a whole lot of stuff the books got "wrong" and make it "better". Well, for me and my players anyway...
