This is the one http://dnd.starflung.com/planes.html Only a list unfortunately, though the names provide quite a few clues to their nature.

I wonder if there is a connection with the Azcans and Gnomes on Brun? 0 § (alt+0167) 1 . 2 : 3 ! 4 ¦ (alt+0166) 5 | 6 .| 7 :| 8 !| 9 ¦| 10 || 11 .|| 12 :|| 13 !|| 14 ¦|| 15 ||| 16 .||| 17 :||| 18 !||| 19 ¦||| 20 § . 21 . . ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2003 08:00:17 -0700 From: John Calvin Subject: Re: Mystaran outer planes >> This is the one http://dnd.starflung.com/planes.html Only a list unfortunately, though the names provide quite a few clues to their nature. << Thanks Havard. I've looked over this one and it does help. I like the sound of "The Plane of Steel" for Vanya. Many of the entries have listed the source of "Mystaros", so I suppose that they were taken from some of the work that James M. has done. Is there a single source that most of these were take from, or are planar references sprinkled throughout James' plethora of work? I'll search around through the Vaults (gotta love the searching capabilities) and see if I can find the planes I'm interested in. -John ===== Rule #85. I will not use any plan in which the final step is horribly complicated, e.g. "Align the 12 Stones of Power on the sacred altar then activate the medallion at the moment of total eclipse." Instead it will be more along the lines of "Push the button." from "A Guide to Becoming an Evil Overlord" by Peter Anspach __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Did she get demoted solely for being a member of the Brotherhood of the Shadow? Or were there more conspicuous reasons for this? Lancer --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

This caused her to lose Power, resulting in Thanatos advancing to ruling hirearch status. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ramses Ramirez" To: Sent: Friday, August 08, 2003 6:05 PM Subject: [MYSTARA] Hel's demotion in WoTI > I am not quite clear why the immortals decided to demote Hel at the end of WoTI and bring Thanatos up a notch to Ruling Hierarch.
