Illithids are from a 5-dimensional macrosphere which has no stable orbits and thanks to the inverse hyper-cube(5) law their "sun" has continents floating on the fusion ejecta which are cool enough to support life.Thus they are evil, because they evolved being lit from below.Also, the Sun makes them nervous. They're sure it's going to fall (remember, no stable orbits in 5D!).Cheers, -- NPS: Anyone else read Greg Egan? If not, go do so now. Particularly Diaspora.PPS: Okay, now for actually reading for comprehension... sounds like a great campaign! The biggest issue I could see would be simple oxygen. With all plant life dead, you're not going to be replenishing your O2 supply, even if you figure out how to melt the frozen "O-flakes" on the ground.So, some portals to Elemental Air are in order, and perhaps some to Elemental Fire to keep things in the cities from freezing. The Djinn / Efreeti war might have spilled over into a few cites (if you want another pair of factions in the mix).I'll bet the Githyanki city has a large portal to Elemental Fire in it, with quite a few Red Dragons making their home thereabouts. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
