Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jürgen Hubert" data-source="post: 3127256" data-attributes="member: 7177">Ravenloft could be a dimensional seal created by the dragons of old to keep the rakasha lords sleeping. And it requires the frustration and torment of evil souls to keep the greater evil of the demons contained, so Ravenloft draws in evil beings who are gradually brought to ruin here. And it abducts other people as well - to provide the evil ones with a canvas for their struggles. Yes, that means that innocents will suffer - but even more innocents will suffer if the demon lords get out. This also explains why there seem to be no dragons to be found anywhere in Ravenloft - of course the dragons don't want one of their own to get caught in this trap! Likewise, the dragons don't want people with dragonmarks to caught up in there, since they contain parts of the draconic prophecy - and this explains why Ravenloft isn't as magitechnologically advanced as Eberron itself.You might also wish to introduce some sort of time dilation - for example, one year passes in Ravenloft for ten years on Eberron. This explains the backwardness of many domains - the people got transferred in different historical periods. Still, in this scenario, Ravenloft is ancient, which means that many domains must have existed and vanished again before the current constellation came into being. Finding them, and learning about the implications of this, could be a nice campaign goal for higher level characters...</blockquote>
