[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 3983665, member: 704"] I have a different interpretation of the differences. The Abyss is a realm of immortal evil full of demons bent on destruction. It is a dark pit of hatred, anger, and the denizens therein are bent on causing destruction and pain 'because its fun'. The general goal of any abyssal type is to cause mortal suffering. If an abyssal demon sees a person on the street, it will run over and stab and torture him. The Far Realm is a realm of cosmic evil with no discernable motivation. It is a nightmarish and twisted place devoid of anything resembling reason. The denizens of this realm cause destruction and pain due to simply not caring that the pursuit of their own goals will cause the destruction of mortal souls. The general goal of anything from the far realms is by definition impossible to comprehend. If something from the far realms saw a mortal on the street, it would probably not notice if it stepped on it. END COMMUNICATION [/QUOTE]
