[QUOTE="Numion, post: 237288, member: 124"] I suppose they want FR to be able to offer different adversaries for different DMs. Settings that revolve mainly around certain constant threat get boring easily. Like WW2 game with nothing but Nazis. Or some Cthulhu games. Considering the size of the Realms there aren't [I]that[/I] many powerful groups. Thay, Shades and Zhentil Keep. Maybe Drow too, but I don't think they'd really want to duke it out on the surface. Zhentil Keep doesn't seem that powerful too. That leaves us with Red Wizards and the Shades, which I think is pretty cool. Two wielder of great arcane might, but who've chosen different ways to wield that might. Shades have the legacy of Netheril backing them up, while Red Wizards are self-made masters of the art. (And more importantly, the Thayans are humans. It's about time humans were the bestest casters evar, instead of some pansy elves ;)) [/QUOTE]
