I don't use the interconnected multiverse. If there is a multiverse, traveling between those different realities is impossible, or that's what the Far Realms is and it's purpose, but the things out there are the biggest and scariest things.I agree, but I think it is a bit simpler in regards to beings like Atropus. I'd say Atropus is a Far Realms being, from outside of the reality of the world. He may create undead with his presence, but he isn't in control of them or the source of them in reality. The concept of Undeath likely existed before he showed up.So, yes, Orcus trying to take control of Atropus, this massive Undead power that came out of nowhere and that no one understands is perfect. And I find your point about the gods interesting. Because, to my understanding, the Hells and the Abyss are part of the Outer Planes. And the Demon Lords and Archdevils do have relations with various gods. Generally antagonistic relations, but... That's true of Nerull too. He hates everything, and he doesn't have any gods he works with or otherwise associates with (to my knowledge). And if he does, that would be the other evil gods... just like Orcus has very complicated relations and planar-political schemes with Graz'zt, Demogorgon, and other Demon Lords.</blockquote>
