Message: <blockquote data-quote="Saeviomagy" data-source="post: 6766847" data-attributes="member: 5890">My assumption on your meaning was that a lack of fugue plane and wall would cause the gods to cease to exist due to lack of worship, which I don't think is true even if you assume that all information about the afterlife is posted on billboards scattered around Faerun, and the gods continue being jerks to their own worshippers.I think you are saying that you've actually got some other rationale for why the lack of fugue plane and wall would cause them to be destroyed. I don't think that's anything beyond conjecture though.AO is about as consistently written as the hulk. On the one hand he's a god of gods, and he doesn't like people being aware of him. On the other hand it's apparently a commonly known legend that he created shar and selune. It's just a side result of being a prime target for writers along with an unquantified level of power.No, my difficulty is with the moral fallout from the existence of the wall.Incidentally, participating in this thread is actually helping me understand a lot more about the realms lore surrounding it. Which is good because it's giving me some great campaign-long plotlines.I don't think the issue with the wall is anything about power at all. It WAS put up by a greater god. It WAS taken out of service by a different greater god in the same role, and now it's back up again. It seems to be well within the power of the god of death to do whatever he feels like with it, because they regularly do so.I think it's hard to conclusively say that the FR gods are without power compared with gods of other settings. Other gods either can't or won't directly interfere with the world most of the time, while the FR gods seem free to. Other gods can't/don't do things like selectively deny magic to arcane casters at whim or alter the afterlife.</blockquote>
