[QUOTE="Derren, post: 4469834, member: 2518"] Okey, then what FR lore would you propose to use as comparisation? Except that there are less high powered individuals in the entire history of Krynn than what most organizations have in the FR. Ok, so over the entire history of DL you have about 10 high powered individuals. Compare that with FR. Seven sisters + Khelben + Elminster + dozens of others. DL dragons were always portrayed rather weak. Also what does it matter if teh dragons serve in an army or sit around the countryside? Do you think that the FR has fewer, less powerful dragons (Nexus, Klauth, Balagos, Daurgothoth, Tchezzar, Inferno,...) Do we mean the same Solace? The well travelled village sitting right on a big, important trade route? And Tarsis also was a trade hub, although nothing compared to the pre-cataclysm Tarsis. Both cities are not really points of light where no one dares to leave in fear of monsters. On whole Ansalon trade flourishes and there is no real "Don't go outside because the monsters might get you" feeling. When something threatened the people of Ansalon then it is open warfare and not wild monsters. All organized in a highly structured army. Later Thakisis had even very lawful knightly orders. And draconians have a rigid military society. No chaos at all. There weren't many "wandering monsters" in DL unless it was a time of war and the wandering monsters were enemy soldiers. All not so dangerous as to make it a PoL setting. Rather those are points of darkness in a sea of grey. Yeah, because it was war and those "monsters" were working for the other side. Except for the nation of Blöten consisting out of several cities and villages, all ruled by Ogres. And no, they weren't just big dungeons. Those Ogres for example traded with dwarves for example. And then there is Sikk'et Hul, a peaceful goblin nation. I think that is rather your problem. [/QUOTE]
