[QUOTE="arkwright, post: 7890115, member: 6925177"] Let me see. The Sultan is wrong. The book states that a century ago, there was a sizeable salamander presence on Jiese. However the enslaved efreeti Liesi stirred up trouble, and they fought a massive civil war. The surviving sultan is inbred, dumb, and rules over only a few thousand salamanders. The book briefly describes a room with a map showing how the Sultan thinks that the world/Lanjyr is extremely tiny. He thinks all he has to do is conquer a few thousand humans and he will rule the world. He is wrong. Why did the Ancients take Jiese when it had creatures on it? Best guess, they made a mistake. They tried to carve off an uninhabited section of the Plane of Fire, but they got a wedge with a few salamanders on it. Why did the Ob fail to notice the salamanders? Well, they must have seen them. The Player's Guide is fairly explicit in saying that there are salamanders on Jiese. I would have to assume that the Ob investigated and found them to be a fairly negligible threat, particularly since they previously had no real way of invading Lanjyr. I'd assume 'use worlds without life forces' was more for the [I]new[/I] worlds they would be plucking out of the multiverse. Side note, if you google 'City of Brass' you'll eventually find a map for an [I]awesome[/I] and enormous palace on the Plane of Fire, which makes a great fit for the sultan's palace. I can probably find you a copy if it would be useful. [/QUOTE]
