[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 177823, member: 2020"] I am really, genuinely sorry I have to make this post. I ask those affected by it to grit their teeth and not leave the IR, and remember that they still have surviving Powers to play. As DM, I must do my job, and unfortunately - this time - that job involves hurtful rulings. - - - The Dark Powers are good to their word. All those 70 million people sent to Ravenloft, are sent to Melkor's Domain. They immediately become his property. He has a very real and most awful Carte Blanche over what he does with them. He can do to them, whatever he is going to do to them, immediately. Melkor determines if they live, or they die. Melkor determines whether they become undead or Shade. Melkor sets up the rules on what magic or psionics will work. Melkor sets up the rules on what technology will work. Melkor, can ABSOLUTELY prevent any escape from his Domain by his subjects (as per the Ravenloft Campaign Setting rules.) There is no possibility of those sent to Ravenloft overthrowing Melkor. It is literally impossible. Melkor can even choose to give his subjects to the other Darklords of Ravenloft as gifts. Melkor, can do whatever he wants, and there is nothing that can stop him. For now. When the Militant Fair arrive, that will change. (The Militant Fair are coming, too.) However, for now Melkor has free rein. [/QUOTE]
