Damn! You put the Sundered Regions right where I was putting my "Far Side of the Silt Sea" bit. I'll move it farther North...
Sorry bro. I drew that map almost 7 years ago otherwise I'd move it.
Nope, my fault: mine's been sitting on my shelf since Valley of Dust and Fire, just never did anything official with it.
I understand how that is.
No big deal. The Sundered Regions are a small part of the other side of the silt sea. North, South, and even further east can still be developed.
Or you can just dismiss the Sundered Regions as complete junk and replace it with whatever you (or anybody) had planned. :P
--are they a Rebirth race Rajaat never knew of, visitors from the Athasian Astral, or something else? NB
Illithids on Athas? How do you fit them into established canon?
--are they a Rebirth race Rajaat never knew of, visitors from the Athasian Astral, or something else? NB
Non-native visitors to Athas. The remnants of the plane spanning illithid empire. It will also be connected with the githiyanki presence on Athas (Yathizor) which is DS canon.
But on the sundered lands stuff.... I really like it. Looks really good so far
Or you could always do a cross between the two like I did on the illithids. I made them something that the Nature benders experimented with..... they did not create them.... rather they captured some from elsewhere which they experimented on. This makes them older than any of the rebirth races, but also makes their origin linked to standard worlds......
I think I've read this on another post of yours and planned on using that in some way.
Also gave a real good reason for the githyanki to have found Athas. They were tracking an Illithid presence.
Thats what I was thinking as well. Yathizor was to be a staging ground for the Githyanki to crush the last remnants of the "imperial illithids" which happened to be in the Sundered Regions. Unforturnatly for them, (fortunate for the illithids) the Githzerai "nuked" the githyanki before they could attack the mindflayers.
(the other advantage of this was it linked the bioengineering of the Illithids to the lifshaping of the Rhulisti on Athas. This is why I was including them into the stuff I am working on about the descendants/experiments of the nature benders.)
I like this connection. It could be that the illithids learned their symbiot tech from the Rhulisti or the Rhulisti learned it from them. Furthermore, there may have been a time that the Rhulisti and the Illithids were at war with each other way early inthe Blue Age.

Thanks, but I have a long way to go before its done

Kind of what I was looking at...... though the illithids in my version were being used as a weapon (mind you a barely contained one) by the nature benders...... while the Rhulisti were quite skilled at lifeshaping/bioengineering..... having them work on the illithids gives a real interesting possible origin for psionics in Athas...... The major spread of it would be from the githzerai "nuke"...... but the origin of it being in the races to begin with however......
However another thought is that the Nature Benders became what they were due to their investigations into the parasytic nature of things like the illithids...... (kind of Cthullu-ish ..... they were driven mad by delving into things Rhulisti were not meant to know) but these would just be possible rumore floating around about the war between the nature masters and the nature benders.....
Heh..... been working on stuff on the nature benders for a long time..... they always interested me more than the jagged cliff dwellers did..... (must be why I am still working on the one thing in the background..... one of these days I will finnish it and send it out to people.)
For those that are interested.
Here's a basic outline of the Sundered Regions Project I've been working on. Its far from complete, but it will include the following:
You people should check out the link. That's a really nice map. Althougth the Dark Cupola sounds and looks pretty funny.

Cupola:
1. A domelike structure surmounting a roof or dome, often used as a lookout or to admit light and air.
2. A small rounded and domed structure, as for observation, on a tracked, armored vehicle.
In the Sundered Regions its a gigantic dome of shadow that's used to block the light of Athas' sun.
Sharn?
*Blinks*
Yeah I know. I made that map almost 7 years ago. Way before Eberron was created. I'll change the name at some point.
Besides, you can always say they ripped you off :D
Why bother? If the name fits, use it. Nay-sayers bedamned. Sharn also happens to be a mystical race of amorphous toothy spellcasters from Faerun, but the Eberron people never bring that up. I say, keep it!

Thats pretty much where I took the name from as well ;)
Tyr is a norse god as well as FR deity. No one's up in arms about that :P

Because it's based off mythology, like just about everything else in the fantasy genre. ;)
