[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 8111138, member: 42856"] The far realm is the most remote part from realitiy, it's the closest in my mind for the Moorcockian primal chaos from which reality was created. It's alien because it doesn't conform to our rules and our physics, but it's not alien for the sake of being alien, it's alien because it's made of opportunities to be shaped into whatever reality one could wish. Of course most denizen are dangerous because they don't share any values or concept with us... but there may be adventurers who actually seek to go into the far realm to create reality of their own. Most careful wizard do it safely, casting the tried and true Demiplane spell...but what if you seek more power? What can you do if you want your demiplane to extend beyond the boundaries of a small room, and you want to rule a valley, a country, a world, like the wizard of old (actually, of 3.5) could? That's when you venture into the Far Realm to shape it into a stable region conforming to your will. Adventurers in your group could be confronted to a group of philosopher mages in the process of doing exactly that. And their megadungeon appeared RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR NOTHINGNESS. A few of them will be upset at the PCs (free opponents to talk to and fight), most will say "let's ignore that megadungeon and build our utopia elsewhere/around it" and a few could become sympathetic to the player's situation and accept to shape a good amount of nothingness into a +2 weapon for them if they provide some service, up to an including removing some of their rivals among the philosophers. Ah, and of course, sales-devil will be very happy to remind them of their earlier deal saying that they can clear their debt by shaping sentient souls out of nothingness and selling them into eternal torment. What, you really thought the debt would be paid in gold? [/QUOTE]
