[QUOTE="DarkCrisis, post: 8803210, member: 1788"] You get those characters aren't omniscient right? They can't handle every single problem that pops up. They have their own lives and missions. To go back to the comic book analogy. The Avengers are "Off on a space mission" every time Spider-man is dealing with a city wide event by himself. And they never mention they 400 other heroes running around NYC that could be helping... because it's Spider-mans story. Elminster is activity involved with The Harpers so they can go out and "do good" without his hand holding because as powerful as he is, he's just one man. There is a place for your heroes and stories and solving world shattering problems in Faerun. Happens in the novels all the time. Demons running rampant over the land in a Drizzt book and hey no Elminster in sight dealing with it, because it's Drizzt's story. Wolfgar gets kidnapped by a demon and taken to the 9 Hells, no Elminster is called in to help out. Heck, Drizzt could have asked Alustrial for aid... and doesn't. Because it's his story. You don't like Faerun, thats fine. But there is room for you and your heroes to save the world there. Always has been. [/QUOTE]
