Nov 05, 2003 23:21:45 Ok exactly why is the leader of carnival a darklord
***** possible spoilers below******

If she was an "angel" and chose to stay in human form to enter ravenloft to track the gentleman caller, why exactly does she have a pocket domain. I thought all domains were reserved for darklords only.

Nov 05, 2003 23:27:43 Isolde isn't a darklord, but, being an Outsider, she has a reality wrinkle. Although not a "domain", the reality wrinkle allows her to cross domain borders, closed or not, and distorts the fabric of Ravenloft around her (hence the Twisting).

I believe it even prevents the entry of darklords into her "personal space", but I'm not quite sure...certainly they would find their powers diminished...

I believe she's described as having a "pocket domain" in either Champions of Darkness or Heroes of Light, but I think this must be due to confusion on the author's part.

Nov 05, 2003 23:29:59 ok that makes more sense. i have been confused about this since the 2nd ed carnival accessory since it refered to it as a pocket domain... thanks for the clarification.

Nov 06, 2003 0:08:14 The concept of the reality wrinkle hadn't really been, um, ironed out in 2nd edition, so it wasn't out of line to speak of the Carnival as a sort of pocket domain, even though it's really quite different in intent.

same as devils, I recall reading Strahd tried to kill the Gentleman Caller (makes sence after what GC does to girls) but failed to cross the reality wrinkle. Still I would haved been an epic fight Strahd Vs GC.
