I found that 4e made gnolls and Yeenoghu interesting to me for the first time - because of their role in the fall of Nerah - but an origin story involving Yondalla is pretty weak. And there's no real permenanent mark there, either - the whole point of the story seems to be to justify a status quo (Yeenoghu is back on the Abyss, where he belongs; anytime that there were not gnolls in the world is some mythical pre-play time that we won't actually deal with in the game) rather than set up a dynamic situation.Like others, I didn't really follow the Orcus/Bloodstone bit.The bit I liked least, though, was this:<s>The implication of this is that the focus of play should shift away from interesting, immediately engaging monsters like devils and demons and on to ones that have meaning only for a certain group of Planescape cogniscenti (demodands, daemons, modrons).</s></blockquote>
