[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7859218, member: 6802378"] But some rituals from the prime material plane could summon dark powers and theses would "taint" that zone. It would be like in the game "the Call of Cthulhu". Or the zombie plague could be caused accidentally when a powerful necromancer tried to escape and the ritual went wrong. Maybe a region is the battlefield between minions of Vecna and Kas the vampire. I don't talk about direct control, but sending agents or causing troubles. My theory is after some events in the land of the mists some crystal spheres (but not we know) would be "blessed/cursed" with planar gates. The demiplane of the dread woud be linked with some "terror islands", outlander domains from in the shadowfell, where life isn't so hard, or influence by dark powers is weaker. I suggest to open the mind for new ideas. The players should be ready or warned against surprises by a DM with a lot of imagination, for example a rhul-thaun (halfling subrace from Dark Sun) using elemental spirits to create life-shaping technology immune to necrotic damage by undeads and radiation from the dead land. Or PCs find ruins where a defiler tried to create an army of constructs as the perfect slaves and soldiers, but a betrayer caused an accident the the constructs rebelled against their creators. After they lost energy and stood still until they were reanimated by ghosts possessing their bodies. Later a defiler necromancer undead finds life-shaping technology and with inverse engineering he creates "undead technology". Or PCs after a "weekend in the hell" they go from lands to the mist to a unknown region where the industrial revolution started with a wicked twist. There wasn't coal for the steam machines, and then the source of energy is ghosts and lifeforce by humanoids. Most of them aren't slaves really but convicts for a shorter punishment, poor people who couldn't pay doubts, or spirits saving money to "buy" an reincarnation in a "superior body". It wouldn't be a bad action if this lifeforce is donated voluntarily. The small letter is there is slavery by criminal guys and some tyrants are using this energy for their war machinery. [/QUOTE]
