But it is also said that the World Serpant wrestles with the great Giant-Father, a primal being of rock and fire. Their struggles are earthquakes, their wounds are volcanos, their battle field is ... home."In this cosmology, World-Serpant = Healing, Water, Plant, Knowlege, Law and Giant-Father = Earth, Fire, War, Chaos, Death, Strength. (This leaves room for an Air, Trickery, Music, etc. Fey trickster archtype spirit.)"The Church teaches us that our fathers had sinned, and the Mists were sent that they might offer expiation to our Lord. The Mists take the wicked to Hell for eternal suffering, in life and death. All praise be unto the Lord, let his wrath fall upon the unfaithful and preserve us against vampires. Amen."Your world is slowly being eaten by Ravenloft. Sometimes whole islands are taken, but they are eventually returned -- once they're completely ... clean. But sometimes, something comes back with an island."Lem' tell yer, landlubber, I's seen an islan' fall rit outta th' sky, I has! It were smokin' an' flamin', lik a pitched hull all a-fire, till th' bleedin' thin' come splashin' not a half-league from me bow! Ach, th' wave were big'n a kraken's fart! I's took me cutter out fer lookie-loo, an' the bleedin' thin' were still glowin' like a nereid's lagoon, an' a shore full o' some ragg'd barbarian-kin. Blest er curst, I's left it fer stronger souls than I's got."Your islands are linked to Ysgard. They come, they go, but to a place far kinder and more heroic than Ravenloft.Perhaps combine 2 & 3, having your world be a sort of transition between Ysgard and Ravenloft, where islands appear (from Ysgard) and are leached into Ravenloft. In this cosmology, Ravenloft is a parasitic plane. Is your world endangered? Is Ysgard endangered? -- N</blockquote>
