[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8651067, member: 7023840"] Weirdly, the best written example comes from the FR Gray Box (DM Source Book)- [B]Bringing characters from other worlds-[/B] [I]...These characters may come over because of the demise of their native world, the discovery of a portal to the Realms, or the fact they have gotten too tough for their homeland.
