[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 6149696, member: 11697"] One thing to consider is how the various outsiders relate in terms of age to the planes and to mortals (and potentially mortal belief). I'm in favor of creating the planes and then afterwards populating them with creatures that make sense for the plane and for that cosmology's history. Within the Great Wheel a lot of this is of course some very much after-the-fact rationalization for scattered, create cool stuff as we go, without a unified vision for all that time method of world creation from 1e to 2e to 3e etc. But I think it's important to take into account. If a particular outsider race predates mortals, do they necessarily need to be linked to any particular concept that easily makes sense to mortal conceptions? Or can you be a little more vague about it? Is appearance important? Is it more important than motives and actions? More thoughts on this later. :) [/QUOTE]
