[QUOTE="RealAlHazred, post: 6748653, member: 25818"] [b]Originally posted by Syltorian:[/b] I was wondering about some of the inhabitants of these two planes. [i]Lamannia[/i] is described as a realm of wild, untouched nature. [i]Thelanis[/i] is a mysterious realm of legends and magic, and strongly associated with the fey, all shown very nicely in Keith Baker's [i]Gates of Night[/i] novel. Now, I was wondering about some of the fey creatures which have not only exceptionally strong ties to nature, but ties that actually define them. These would, in the 3.5[i] Monster Manual[/i], largely be the dryad and, to a lesser extend, the nymph. Both are put, per the 3.5. [i]ECS, [/i]in Thelanis (p.99), which fits considering the strong mystical flavour and real-world legends about these nature spirits. Wood and water spirits were, after all, famous for charming people, drawing them into a world where time worked differently, and for being utterly unpredictable, helpful at one time, but using terrifying curses at others. That fits Thelanis superbly. Yet the dryad is tied to a tree, the nymph has a strong relationship with a lake, both of which seem connected to Lamannia. So I was wondering how people go about this. Is it possible for creature to be connected to two planes at the same time? Say, a dryad being created when Thelanis touches an exceptional tree? Where do nature spirits - your traditional Greek river-gods[1], for instance, who are equally mystical (Thelanis) and naturebound (Lamannia) fit in? Many thanks! [1] N.b. On Eberron, they would naturally not be gods, though, like Radiant Idols, could get themselves worshipped as such by intent or accident (as the Greensingers do, though not under the label of god).
