[QUOTE="Charles Phipps, post: 8606708, member: 70298"] 102. Worship of Devils and Demons was almost unknown outside of the Underdark prior to the Time of Troubles. The deaths of so many gods combined with their (usually atrocious) behavior during the event resulted in many people seeking alternative forms of worship. 103. The deity that Asmodeus slew for his divinity was Amaunator. The Devil was cheated, though, because it was actually said deity wishing to be reborn as a god of good rather than order. It also bound Asmodeus to war against Demons eternally as servants of chaos. 104. Demon cults are tiny things usually with only a rare one like Lolth, Asmodeus, or Orcus growing to anything resembling a religion. Even gods of evil tend to have more redeeming qualities than fiend worship. A dozen members is a large one. 105. The Dungeons and Dragons cartoon took place in the Time of Troubles (why Tiamat was running around) and in the Border Kingdoms. 106. Durnan married an Alias clone who was, of course, an adult when he married her. She'd been in the Feywild for a century. 107. Festhall bard is a perfectly legitimate profession and many bards get their training at them. Some of the best, most inventive music comes from those places. 108. The "best" endings for all video games are canon. Which means that, yes, Mephistopheles is dead in the Forgotten Realms' Nine Hells and Aribeth was redeemed. Its not like there's not other fiends to take his place. 109. The Tarrasque is real but the general strategy is to just evacuate people away from it and rebuild afterward. Only complete morons attempt to slay it, stirring it up, or control it. Which means that there's adventurers hired to stop these fools. 110. See 107#, Like Godzilla, it spends most of its time underwater and sleeping with it only coming up every few decades to feed. 111. The Demogorgon has no cults, no religion, and one genius head and another emotional head. It still has people who venerate it simply because it is the strongest of all evils. It also loves chatting. 112. The Demogorgon used to have a third head before it was cut off by Bahamut. Previously, it was a far vaster danger to the rest of the Multiverse as two heads would team up on the third to inflict misery and doom on the Multiverse. [/QUOTE]
