[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 4595296, member: 54846"] I meant silly in the sense of appearance. Sea Stars don't look fairly intimidating. ;) But then, Aboleth are giant one-eyed trout. On the topic of The Far Realms as one giant entity, I did have an idea a while ago I proposed to someone on these boards: The Real World once was a piece of the Far Realms. The entity that was in control of it 'fell asleep', and the chaos actually started to organize itself until it eventually fell into Order. So you have the Far Realms surrounding this Island of Normal. If this were, for instance, the "Far Realms = One Big Entity", the Real World could inhabit a pocket. Maybe the Real World is, in a sense, a corrupted portion or the equivalent of a dead/rotting organ. In fact, the Real World could be a natural part of the Far Realms (like how the intestines is filled with bacteria); it's a stabilizing affect, somehow. Aberzanzorax, I am curious about your theory in one respect: if the Far Realms is one giant organism, then couldn't it be killed? And if it's killed, what happens to the universe? Is there any sort of planar repercussions? Because knowing PCs, if they find out it's a plane that's alive, then they're going to want to kill it. [/QUOTE]
