Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ripzerai" data-source="post: 2798785" data-attributes="member: 38324">Exactly right. Consider this to be "imaginary information."Although it's all closely based on the "real information."Sorel was created (by Ed Bonny) as an example of a slaad verging on the status of Lord of Chaos. Sorel was a death slaad in 2e, when that was the highest caste possible. After the publicaton of the Epic Level Handbook we must conclude that it is a black slaad (as a death slaad, Sorel would only be verging on white slaad status). In fact, Sorel must be an advanced black slaad, more powerful than most.As a native of Limbo of extreme antiquity (predating the tanar'ri and, presumedly, the Spawning Stone) it's probably safe to assume that the Queen of Chaos is a True Slaad, just as it would be safe to assume a native of Baator that preceded the baatezu was an Elder Baatorian. That's not to say that Limbo had no other natives, only that its greatest paragons are the slaadi.A lot of what I wrote is straight from Ed Bonny's article in Dragon #221 (info on the slaad lords) and Tales From the Infinite Staircase (info on the nature of the Spawning Stone and the True Slaadi that preceded it), just presented in a unified way. There is also, however, speculation. I should have included footnotes, but I am lazy. Maybe later.The biggest departure from "canon" was in identifying a portfolio for Wartle (who is from OP1, Tales of the Outer Planes).But yes, this all remains purely imaginary information, not real information at all. Caveat emptor, and caveat lector too.</blockquote>
