[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 3999711, member: 11697"] With respect to Mr Baker, who as the top guy for FR probably shouldn't have to ask the question in the first place, the Blood War and its ramifications played a significant role in the history of Hellgate Keep, the Nar demonbinders and their legacy in eastern Faerun, the Imaskari might have had some yugoloth influence in their magic (from a novel that Mr Baker wrote no less) and I'm sure if I spent an evening casually browsing some FR sourcebooks I could find some more references. Don't consider this a rant to high heaven. I'm just disappointed in them. They've really made some IMO unimaginative changes that really put a kick to the junk into a more complex and dynamic take on the planes. We're going back to extraplanar dungeons for heros of the appropriate level to adventure in, which I find really unfortunate. Plus with making the 'loths "soldier demons" now, I'm twice disappointed. I remember Andy Collins asking about the yugoloths a year or so ago on his own forums, and I remember the rather massive amount of material and opinions that he got on the topic. All that, all the sources they could have spun ideas off of to make a really cool re-envisioning of the 'loths and the best they can come up with is "soldier demons" working for an unnammed abyssal lord. Very inspirational. Bravo. Ok, maybe that turned into a rant. Bah. It was coming I suppose. [IMG]http://arcanofox.foxpaws.net/shemmysmile.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
