[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8211868, member: 6779196"] I’m just going to say, I very much doubt “islands” is meant literally. While I think the concept of making them literal islands and the Vistani into sailors is cool, I’d be extremely surprised if that was the way they went with it in the new book. I suspect they just mean “islands” in the sense that they are isolated. I think if you want to get a sense of what the domains will look like, take a look at Curse of Strahd. It’s a valley surrounded by mist that discombobulates you and sends you back to Barovia if you try to leave without Strahd’s permission. No coastline to be found. If you leave, whether with Strahd’s permission, with a group of Vistani, or by killing Strahd, where do you end up? Who knows! It’s an extraplanar space, its relationship to other extraplanar spaces doesn’t need to conform to normal physical rules. I kinda doubt that it will make any practical difference whether the domains are in a single connected landmass or not. Travel between them will be as convenient or as inconvenient as the plot demands either way, so I don’t really see any value in making it specifically one way or the other. [/QUOTE]
