[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 6766415, member: 6801228"] Okay, so I worked my way through all 33 pages of this. It was an interesting conversation until about page 20. I do like that this bit of lore came up, I've never heard about it before now. One of my first thoughts when I was reading about the Wall was "what is on the other side?" after all, walls are designed either to keep things in or keep things out. If it was a defensive fortification though using the "Faithless" who would have no incentive to help protect whatever it is didn't seem like the best plan. I was thinking of ways to alter it to fit my homebrew world, because as a writer I feel I need to homebrew my settings, when I ran across post #92 by JohnLynch and his awesome "Last Wall" idea, which I won't steal completely (because my homebrew involves a multi-pantheon idea which would make his wall of honor idea a bit strange, still incredible though) but my idea will look very very similiar I think. And I'm not just throwing things into the world "just because" a Wall to act as a defensive fortification helps solve two or three different problems in my homebrew, I just need to figure out which one it will work best against. I guess in closing. I appreciate this thread giving me a cool idea to help make my homebrew better, but all this discussion of human psychology and real world religions and justice seems a little circular. Unless you're planning a petition to change the Realms official lore then the Wall exists because it hasn't been retconned away yet, and no amount of hand wringing and arguing is going to change that fact until the official lore changes.
