[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7514263, member: 6925649"] Think of it as a piece of their Universe where they physical laws and magic apply, and also they maintain their planar connections and contacts with their deities. Basically a piece of their universe centered on Toril was cut, and pasted into our Solar System. Elminster has been known to travel to non-magical planes, so he might be able to teleport himself to Earth and back, the level of magic is lower but not nonexistent. Elminster is one of Mystra's chosen, so he is able to bring his magic with him, as are others of his kind. His ability to scry is limited to areas where magic is prevalent, He can teleport to Earth, but he can't scry there. If he is there, he can scry to see what is happening on Toril, because that place already has magic in it. Likewise the gods of Toril can also transport themselves to Earth if they want to go there, the act weakens them however, so it is not a place they would actually like to go unless they have no other choice. There are other depowered deities on Earth that are living a quite existence, they keep a low profile however. Magic was once more prevalent on Earth than it is now. Some of them might manage to get on the crew manifest and go to Toril. The Roman/Greek gods and goddesses are still around, as are the Norse Deities, and those of the Chinese mythos, changing identities from time to time and moving to different places so nobody notices that they do not age. If they can get to the sphere surrounding Toril, they might be able to regain some of their powers. [/QUOTE]
