[QUOTE="Wrahn, post: 2533204, member: 9191"] My view of the What Isn’t is precisely that… It isn’t. It can not have been created, because it never was created. It isn’t some kind of alien place it is an alien state of being or non-being. I guess what I am saying is from a story telling perspective, hints about the “What Isn’t” is fine, traveling there, peering there and having a profound effect if fine, but defining it detracts from the feel of the place, it should be unknown and unknowable. I didn’t like placing it on a map for that reason, nor giving it an origin. I like the idea of Volkath’s return, but am a little leery of it. Volkath by nature is much more powerful than any god, probably more powerful than all of the gods combined. I think care needs to be given to making sure there are no direct confrontations between anyone and Volkath. He should exist on the higher plane of being and act through agents. On the other hand: [sblock]Perhaps this is a piece of Volkath’s will which had been left behind, perhaps even traveling through the What Isn’t trying to figure out what happened when Volkath ascended. Perhaps there reason was driven from it’s mind and it convinced itself the it was Volkath and through it’s delusion it had created the What Isn’t. Just something to think about.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
