1) Not sure, but it's common mythology taught by some of the deities, so it's there.

2) Rivensblight, as RA mentioned, was a city once mostly for elves, but it's a fallen and corrupted city. Grey Elves could come from anywhere, or you could make up your own snooty city.

3) I could Giants by the tower (I'd expect frost by either air or water more than earth, but that's minor) and there are several mountain ranges around that might have giants.

Keep in mind, no one's been very close to any of the towers.

Presumably Rivensblight is twinned with Rheim, and Ravenblight with Riem, and Rivenblight with Rhiem. Clear as mud. What do you mean by corrupted? As for making up a city, I feel a little too new here to try any large-scale meta-creation.

 

[Bront]

Actualy, it's Rivenblight (see the map in the tavern).

Rheim has nothing to do with it. Wrong direction (It's north, Rheim/Riem is just south of that map)

 

[Trouvere]

Yes, I know, I was just (apparently unhumorously) commenting on the problems we have with cities of variable name.
I just read the wiki entry on Rivenblight. That seems perfect, actually. 13% Grey elves in a population of 90,000; Drow, undead and nasty things from the Underdark (hmmm - so Enworld is a fairly thick pancake, then? or else the Enworphant has parasites crawling into its back - ick) in the lost third down in the crater.

 

[Bront]

Why do you think the Drow have dark skin?

 

[Trouvere]

Where did I say they did? Actually, I suspected Enworldian Drow aren't black skinned, because Rivenblight's wiki entry said that there were a fair number of Drow masquerading as other types of elf. They do still seem to have links to the Underdark, though.

Even if the EnWorld disk/hexagon has the same thickness/diameter ratio as a CD, that still would be enough for a disk tens or even hundreds of miles deep. I think there's enough space for a big underdark inside that.

Yes, definitely. 250 miles if it were a CD. I imagine it as thicker than that, anyway.

Looks like we've got quite a crowd at the RDI. I'm thinking I'll go ahead & start recruiting for my next adventure, tentatively titled S2: Orc War.

As the name suggests, it will be a combat intensive senerio. The Northern Vastermarch has just been subjected to a large-scale invasion of orcs from the Northern Mountains! The characters in S1 are caught in a part of this right now.

It was a surprise attack, and there's no way a call for help could have reached the RDI in time for anyone there to help. (It's like a two week trip up there.) But given the lax nature of time tracking in LEW, I can still recruit outside of the RDI.

If anyone as reason to be up that way, and would like to participate, I'll get up a recruitment thread. This adventure has already been approved. I submitted my plan for all three parts of my S adventure up front. S2 is mostly unchanged. I have almost completely rewritten S3, so I'll resubmit that when the time comes.

Count Nodis in, if the adventure can accept level 5 psionic characters.
