Message: <blockquote data-quote="Veltharis ap Rylix" data-source="post: 8978529" data-attributes="member: 66357">Have a tendency to fiddle with my writing well after it's been posted, so I may have edited something to my previous post that addresses your comments here already and/or edited something out that you are responding to. My apologies. Regardless...Such as when large chunks of the Catholic world broke away from the church in Rome in the Protestant Reformation movement that famously fizzled out and faded into obscurity?The biggest issue with the Faction War isn't that it happened, but that it was never officially followed up on (until the upcoming release, perhaps). Rather than showing how the Faction ideologies evolved, splintered, blended, etc. as time passed and situations changed, they were left hanging in the state they were in at the end of the Faction War module - which is to say, largely shell-shocked, burned out from losses suffered in the war, and either uprooted or formally disbanded in response to The Lady's Edict.The Factions are weakened and boring post-Faction War because they've never been given the chance to recover from the Faction War in any meaningful sense - at least not in an official capacity. Sigil is similarly boring for the same reason - until now, it's barely been touched since the Faction War.Previously, those who wanted to carry on in a post-Faction War Sigil had to do the work themselves, and I'm pretty happy with what I've cobbled together from the Planewalker fan update, my own headcanon, and various other sources of inspiration. Perhaps the upcoming 5e Planescape release will repair the damage from the Faction War in a similarly satisfying way.Or perhaps they'll just retcon it. Impossible to say, at present.</blockquote>
