[QUOTE="pming, post: 6628984, member: 45197"] Hiya! With regards to #5... One of the most excellent of excellent things about The Known World (a.k.a., Mystara), is that new things can pop up at any time and "fit" into the back story of the world without problem. For example, take the Hollow World. It didn't exist for almost a decade...then it did (e.g., the Expert D&D Set 2 [Erol Otis cover] and then the Hollow World boxed set came out). What I'm doing is simply "adding in" the Feywild and the Shadowfell as is, and then simply just saying that the general populace of the world (re: 99.9%) don't even know for a fact that it exists. The commoners have their own regional beliefs on how the world/multiverse is; they have their Hell, Hades, Abyss, Gehenna, Paradise, Heaven, Elysium, Valhalla, etc.... who's to say that what they think is "the afterlife" isn't actually part of the Feywile or Shadowfell? Maybe they have their own myths about it...[I]Don't go into a toad-stool ring when their is a full moon! Else you be trapped in the wee-folk's realm for all eternity![/I]. Adventure's use this kind of "commoner superstition" all the time for flavour background. Who's to say it isn't superstition...? ;) Also, just FYI, travelling to another plane of existence isn't nearly as easy or commonly known as even being possible...as far as I read Mystara (and I've been playing in it since before it was even known as Mystara). And, as others have said, Mystara [B][I]*IS FREAKING HUGE*[/I][/B]... so it's not at all hard to believe that there are faaaar more secrets to be reveled than is shown in the Gazatteer series. ^_^ Paul L.
