Message: <blockquote data-quote="Essenti" data-source="post: 5534451" data-attributes="member: 100205">"Aboleths, Illithids, and other aberrations are not true denizens of the Far Realms...  This is yet more faulty thinking perpetrated by those of us safely situated on this side of the veil. So many of us easily and incorrectly assume the squirming wriggling mass of flesh screaming in yonder smoking quivering heap was once a dweller from the depths of the Far Realm--yet even that thing could never survive on the other side.  This sadly twisted aberration *poke* is made of the stuff of our world. Warped by the influence of the Far Realms? For certain! Actual entities birthed in the otherness? Indeed not! These sad perversions of life are merely scars in the fabric or our reality, tears in the veil, hastily re-stitched by nature herself using whatever was on hand, or tentacle, as it were. These poor creatures react with minds and bodies made of similar muck to our own, though they are not but a fleshy cloak, mask, or glove for whatever might've penetrated the veil. A true denizen of the Far Realm is something else entirely; completely foreign and alien... we can only ever see the tools and machinations of their will." --Essenti De'Soles, to the students of the Seventh Circle.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
