Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yaarel" data-source="post: 8304752" data-attributes="member: 58172">The immortals are creatures of the Astral Plane. Compare how fey are creatures of the Feywild.There is no real difference between immortals, including angels and eladrin, except hierarchical rank.In linguistics (semiotics), some symbols are "deeper" to organize more of the other symbols to form a linguistic structure. Thus these deeper archetypes are more "powerful", especially if they are perceived to be necessary for survival. Sometimes assemblages of symbols tend to cluster together and associate more closely with each other.In the Forgotten Realms setting, each archetype is understood to be a commodity to put into ones "portfolio". The immortal can give the archetype away to someone else, or barter it, or sell it. Likewise anybody, including humans, can acquire the archetype, even kill and loot the archetype, thus become the new immortal with this commodity in ones own portfolio.There is no difference between an immortal and a mortal human who might become the next immortal one day.</blockquote>
