[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8731555, member: 58172"] For the purpose of populating Fyreen and supplying suitable flavor and crunch for a "Doom Sun" setting, I propose the following cosmology: • Fyreen is Athas-esque • Fyreen defacto is Dark Sun, unless Spelljammer specifies otherwise or trademark brandnames require name changes. • Fyreen is defacto godless. The astrals do exist, but found no one willing to convert to their cults. The astrals abandoned Fyreen to its own devices. Fyreen continues its sacred elementalism of the Dark Sun setting. The Clerics focus on the elements as cosmic forces. The Druids focus on elemental features of nature. Templars might benefit from the negativity of the black hole. Obscure Eberron-style traditions might occasionally spring up. • The 4e Dawn War astrals are who destroyed the crystal sphere. • But they didnt destroy the sun. • The astrals visited the Fyreen when they shattered the crystal sphere, the sun collapsed shortly afterward, but the astrals are not responsible for the black hole. (I dont have an opinion about what caused the sun to collapse. I do find it plausible that the sorcerer-kings themselves destroyed it during one of their irresponsible magical experiments. It might even be a longterm consequence of them having turned the sun crimson in the first place. Plausibly, the Dawn War astrals were even doing a kindness, foreseeing the collapse of the sun, destroying the crystal sphere in order to allow the inhabitants of Doomspace to escape. Possibly, the astrals visited Fyreen in order to transport them away. But these astrals being the individuals who they are, probably did obnoxiously demand worship, and the inhabitants balked and became excessively hostile. Now Fyreen is on its own. The situation of the primordials in Doomspace is uncertain. The imbalance since the defiling began greatly harms the elementals. Probably, it harms the primordials likewise. I am unsure what prevented the elementals and the primordials from actively preventing the practice of defiling.) [/QUOTE]
