[QUOTE="Todd Roybark, post: 8071616, member: 6920677"] Sorry, this generalization is incorrect. I know Iggwiliv from Tsojcanth. I like the vague details about her in that module. It leaves room for the imagination, and space for DMs to create. I frankly don't care about [I]any[/I] D&D "Canon"...it is a TTRPG not a soap opera or comic book. I don't follow FR or Greyhawk histories...my games are not subject to novels and so forth. The Time of Troubles in the FR taught me the lesson of decoupling the home game, from novelizations. Reboots, (in part) happen when the history of a product impedes being able to be creative with the material. The history restrains what you can do. I would argue that the Iggwiliv referenced in the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth, being a Legendary Name with scant details gives DMs more creative freedom to create the villain they want or need...then the more tightly scripted Iggwiliv is person X and Person Y and Person Z who invented Jiffy Pop.
