[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 9240690, member: 6796468"] So that settles -that-! Harbinger of doom! The current plan is that the elemental planes are going to be practically touching the Material plane, just like the Shadow Plane and the Feywild as mirror-planes. Then there's the Ethereal plane which connects to the different Heavens and Hells and probably lawfully aligned planes. And then comes the Astral Plane which stretches off into eternity, within which the roiling chaos of the Abyss, Limbo, and the Far Realm all reside, alongside even stranger realms beyond that no one knows anything about, even the gods of this world. And from the Primordial Chaos of the universe they issue forth to come to this world, this place... Attacking fairly constantly (Hence the Blood War) to try and break through. OH... OH hell... that... holy crap. That's a brain blast. The desolate plane. The plane where Glory died? Hell. It's -now- Hell. Glory twisted to Narcissism. To self-aggrandizement and the weakening and humiliation of the other. Glory the cautionary tale of the Pantheon because she was utterly lost, unwilling to even entertain Truth. But still she fulfills her role of protecting the Prime Material plane, her devils seek souls just as surely as angels do for the other gods, but far more aggressively, more -directly-. For their glory. For -her- glory. For Glory. The Blood War is no longer a "Devils versus Demons" exclusive affair. It's -everyone- opposing demons and other chaotic monsters from beyond the Astral Plane. Who come to the Prime for the same reason it's guarded: Souls. The gods and other spiritual entities of the Prime seek to keep the souls here. To foster and nurture souls and keep them safe as they grow and become more. But these other entities, the darkness beyond... they come and take and do not foster. Do not grow. They -just- steal every 75 years or so. Which might, in part, be why so many monsters and creatures are soulless? They're a finite resource, maybe? Not 100% certain on that part but... Holy crap... I like this. [/QUOTE]
