[QUOTE="Gold Roger, post: 5889061, member: 33904"] Not quite. The outer and inner planes are much freakier. As longlived, arrogant and mighty giants are, they are mortal and relatable. As mage tells apprentice: "There once was an archmage, wise and smart, who wanted to know the meaning of life. He summoned 7 demons and asked. From 6 of these he got 9 answers, each horrible and dark. The 7th ate his soul." The idea definitely is that sky and underdark do not use the same laws as the normal material though. You might call them different layers of the same material plane. Nope. Dwarfes are the servants of the abstract gods of law, inheriting the culture of the lost elder race known as architects. As their homelands drowned in flame and terror, they joined and guided the other species of our age. I felt bad fr a moment, that my and Eberrons elves both where once servants of giants. Then I thought how different these giants and elves are. And then I remembered how much I stole already. Feeling good now. This is just a snippet of a larger setting. The sky of giants is just an element for high level play and backdrop for giants in play before that. This is supposed to be used in actual play of D&D and the rough baselines of "solid land" is pretty standart for D&D, to be honest. Also, to giants it isn't sky. It's "sky" to the cluless berks below the sun, moon and cloud islands (if you'll excuse my planar cant) This setting might have a literal stairway to heaven (where heaven might be either the sky or the upper planes), so I'll prefer Led Zeppelin. But then metal isn't my cup of tea. Mastodon is ok though, so if they want, I'll lend them my scavenged IP for a song >< Ps: Forgive my spelling, I know it's atricious. I guess it's natural for a non native speaker with little writing practise. I'll try to keep this thread alive, as it's great source of amusement to me (and hopefully you). With luck I'll improve ^^ [/QUOTE]
