How old is the Far Realm?

[Desdichado]

ditto on both counts. maybe three counts.

who's counting.

Not me.

 

[Zaukrie]

I can't remember, is the Dark Plea from Cordell's mind from the Far Realm?

I love the Far Realm, I want more minis and adventures and monsters from the interaction of the two existences that should never mesh, but do.

 

[Crothian]

I'm not sure how old it is, maybe it came into existance around 2002?

Named beings yes. "Lords" is entirely up for debate. We don't know honestly.

Mak Thuum Ngatha 'The Nine Tongued Worm' - worshipped as a deity by the psurlon of the Astral Plane

Piscaethces the Blood Queen - one of the "elder evils" worshipped by the Aboleths (don't read too much into the name, because they don't embody Evil, and time is well, meaningless on that elder designation). Other so-called elder evils are worshipped as gods by the Aboleths

Tharizdun / Elder Elemental God - maybe. It has been suggested, but there's no firm proof.

The critters in the ELH whose names I cannot spell are powerful, but not unique beings from the Far Realm

The Dragon King - name for a being imprisoned in an artifact on Toril, recent material has seemed to rewrite it to being from the Far Realm rather than a deity from another world on the prime material

Any stats?

IMC, the Far Realms are outside time, so the question is moot.

Mak Thuum Ngatha's stats are way too broken (sorry, couldn't resist)

The Far Realm is all times. It is older than the chaos that spawned the gods, and it has not yet been borne. It is the now that you see, and the now that will never be.

 

[Dragonbait]

Are there any named lords of the Far Realm?

Personally, I would not use the term "Lord" because that would denote some kind of familiar heirachy, and make the Far Realm a little more comprehendable. Something that it should never be... Until they come out with the Far Realm completely statted up in a d20 expansion, along with prestige classes, variant standard races linked to the plane (look! A human from the far realm, and there is a gnome!), and so on.

I'll say it, even though it's painfully obvious: You could incorporate the cthulu d20 gods in there.

And, of course, trust anything Shemeska says. Wether or not it is correct does not matter . He just makes it sound damn good, and that's what is important. No, I'm not saying anything he has said in this or any other thread is wrong.

I disagree. For something from the Far Realm, I think that Land Outcasts' writeup is very appropriate.
