[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 3470349, member: 11697"] It doesn't say it openly, but it's supposed to be Tharizdun. At least that was my intention, and some additional text that said as much outright was trimmed before publication. Removing the direct naming of big T does make the demiplane more plug'n'play for homebrew campaigns, or anything else that lacks the core planar history, etc. But that was my original intention with the article, though I was under a pretty hard word count, so I wasn't able to go with some other ideas about Tharizdun that would have portrayed him as something other than a god, yet very much a product of the conventional multiverse rather than something from the Far Realm or elsewhere (though the original, but trimmed text above does hint that he's something wierd). Really, how many imprisoned beings of madness and entropy are linked to a veined purple whirlpools and creepy eyes? ;) I was drawing on the demiplane and big T's history from the 1e MotP, 2e Guide to the Ethereal, and 3e RttToEE. Again, the word count didn't leave me with an absolute ton of room to elaborate from the baseline in earlier editions, though since they never described the exterior I had some fun with the bubbling dreamscapes frothing around the demiplane's boundary, etc. I really enjoyed getting to talk about it.
