Message: <blockquote data-quote="zouron" data-source="post: 160660" data-attributes="member: 920">Melkor, about Domains of DreadMelkor you cannot decide what you bring along with you to Domains of Dread (or Ravenloft as the place is falsely called).In domains of Dread Darklords never gain what they want the most.The Darkpowers tempts you, but they don't care about getting anyone but YOU under their foot. The Darkpowers will keep their initial word, but not in any form you will like, not at all.yes you get to rule something in Ravenloft, it might not be the mega domain you thought it would be, it all depends on your worth to the mist (vecna actually had a very small domain). You don't take anything with you, you go alone everything created in your new domain is a mockery of what you know, everything will be just wrong, but seem right on surface (Lord Loren Soth's Bashees that were suppose to tell him the story of his own damnation kept changing the story, twisting it, still able to reconize it but just not right... very annoying for a man of strict rules and behaviour like Lord Loren Soth).WHEN more then one person is brought to Domains of Dread, it seems that the actual Darklord is not nessecary the one everyone thinks it to be (a former dark sun domain, whom is no longer described due to license transfere, has a dragonking as Darklord, but in reality it is the high priestess that is the Darklord).Okay finally one rule when dealing with the dark powers, you will never get what you want (vecna wanted kas dead but never could and vice versa), you will never like what you get but it is what you asked for. The darkpowers are more tricky to deal with then a wish under a wish hating DM, the Darkpowers don't manipulate you, they just offer you your darkest desire in return for nothing... on the surface.**********************************************Okay Vecna I am not sure of I did not buy the modules where Vecna escapes Ravenloft, but in those he DOES escape he takes over sigil in a short period. I believe basically he became very powerful (he is a greater god now right? so that is part of the reason).As for Soth, this is a bit twin fold.Out of Character: Soth is a very priced trademark of WotC and the rights to the campaign setting Ravenloft was given to Arthause (whom produces RL material today)In Character: Soth was rejected by the Darkpowers, he was better at being his own doom then they were his, but while he was in RL he seemed to be unwilling to act at all, so why not let him be his own doom elsewhere.Soth's highest wish was to gain his family back (or so he thinks) as well as when he entered to gain the spirit of Kitiara to serve him. in the end he he offered his family and everything, he kills them all and it all starrts over again.basically I would say both escaped cases are due to real world reasons rather then game vice.</blockquote>
