Message: <blockquote data-quote="Urriak Uruk" data-source="post: 8206654" data-attributes="member: 7015558">There is a theory that Cyre actually was sucked up into a Domain of Dread, for the following reasons;<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Mournland stops at Cyre’s artificial, political, borders and thus had to be caused by some intelligent actor. The Dark Powers certainly count. It also explains why it stops so exactly at the water that the docks were left behind.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Mournland’s border is a wall of “dead-gray mist”. The link is obvious. In 4th Edition, this dead-gray mist supernaturally drains people of hope.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Forge of War states that Dannel ir'Wynarn insistence that the crown of Galifar belonged to her was the only thing keeping the Last War going, making her prime Darklord material.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dark Sun material describes Kalidnay as having been destroyed by "unknown disaster" that left it only "a jumble of ruins". The ruins in the Mournland are described being "moved", "rearranged", "turned 90 degrees", or "found miles from where war-era maps say they should be", which certainly can be described as a "jumble". The one adventure that travels to the ruined city (DSM2) mentions several structures remain intact, and many appear to be ruins purely because they're centuries old, which fits the multiple Mournland adventures with surviving structures, and several people seem to have died suddenly in a way that their body was intact. (While some of the Mournland's signature features are absent, all outside descriptions of Kalidnay are centuries after the fact while all descriptions of the Mournland are 0-4 years after its creation.)</li> </ul>Source: <a href="https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Demiplane_of_Dread#Mapping_the_Demiplane" target="_blank">Demiplane of Dread - 1d4chan</a> I highly doubt this will ever be confirmed (it's kept ambiguous purposefully so DMs can create whatever fate for Cyre they want), but it is one of the strongest and most consistent theories IMO.</blockquote>
