Enough to destroy the planet's plantlife to create the desert wasteland. Enough to drink dry most of the world and deplete the ELEMENTAL PLANE OF WATER to nearly nothing... The Forest Ridge and the Crescent Forest are the result of thousands of years of people carefully trying to restore the land.So why is there a forest, there, and why does it have "Arcane Radiation" which doesn't exist anywhere else and what -is- Arcane Radiation?Similarly: If there's an ocean-sized ooze out there, why is it chilling in one empty seabed instead of rolling over the land consuming everything in it's path? And also how did it get there and not get fought and killed by the Sorcerer Kings in the 6,000 years they spent defiling the world before they locked Rajaat away?And most importantly: What story does it tell?Like I get the desire to throw Weirdness into the setting in general, but anything you add needs to enhance the story of the setting, expand on it, enrich it. Not undermine it, or go off in a completely different direction that changes the tone drastically.</blockquote>
