But they are widespread among the planewalkers in general. Also, those philosophies are generic enough. City of Brass is busy with internal politics and conquests on its own plane. A few specific ones. Xaositects, Harmonium, Athar, Signers (due to "power of belief") - yes, of course. But others are already more interested in the Inner planes - like Doomguard (Negative Quasielemental planes), Dustmen (Negative Energy), Godsmen (Ethereal). The rest may have specific interest here or there. Not much to do for the Anarchists on the Inner Planes, but then there's the City of Brass, for one.  Yup. But how and why different?E.g. there certainly will be Sensates. But the Sensates who hang out on the Inner planes to begin with would probably be not big on the feasts, but come there for the great wild elemental landscapes and related experiences - and even the more "boring" ones would be focused on things like sight-seeing at the Radiance or experimental cuisine via protomatter shaping.Signers - perhaps not much, but those who would be interested in extreme (as in, up to making fancy demiplanes) creative expression. Jann? Maybe. Especially since as planewalkers they can more easily find eager fans encouraging them. If a genie sorcerer ever subscribes to "mad artist" thing... that's going to end in about as much of unhinged !!fun!! as a Reigar. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" /> They aren't. All factions are assigned some natural allies. They aren't. Generally speaking. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" /> Because if you are Athar, you are fired up about the deities and finding alternatives to them - which implies claiming to know as everything "should be" rather than admitting it should not be in any particular way. If you're a Bleaker, the whole storm in a teacup the Athar raise is even more meaningless and delusional than almost everything else. Because they are philosophies and beliefs, not clubs. Something is more important.They are generic enough to overlap a lot, but there are defining differences. So, people may agree on almost everything in general, but see different sides of questions as more important. And prefer some or other methodology - e.g. Godsmen vs. Cyphers ("big picture" vs. "here and now") or Cyphers vs. Sensates ("be a part of the action" vs. "observe/experience it all, don't get distracted").</blockquote>
