I'd love in the future to see answers or at least hints dropped in future plots about the following items:

* The lands or beings of the Vortex and the Continuum. Okay, obviously the two cosmic planes won't be back until Project Paradox is negated or otherwise solved, but I'd love to see hints to these effects. These cosmic beings are not "Angels" or "Devils", but we know so little about them. We know about air and fire elementals, but we could use some hints about those areas.

* Gnomes--They are so ubiquitous. We know they are aetherspace dwellers, we know they are powerful creates (at least those not on newton), and there are mysterious ones like Gorky Hardbottom and Jolly Bundy and magic chefs. I'd love to see more about their background.

* Finks--I'd like to think these are the opposite of Gnomes and their mortal enemies. So how come we don't see any outside of Newton? Is there a great fink empire outside?

* What were the powers of Nil were like when it was Shallamar. What kind of cosmic powers did their guardians have before the Taint warped them. Maybe we could have a plot around that.

* Hints as to the state of the planet outside the basin of life. The hunters came from beyond--where were they? What's the state of life outside the basin?

* Expanded cosmology. Other planes? Planes beyond Astral? Other cosmic planes? Other elemental planes? (Maybe different types of elements outside of the Platonic Four, or alternate elementals like Geniekind or the Paracelcian kind (undine, salamanders, "gnomes", slyphs)).

Granted, these aren't suggestions but rather I'm just letting you know what I'd love to see touched upon in future plotlines.

* Where and what is the 13th Astral sphere?

* Is there anything out there at the far edge of the Skarch Desert?

* Are there other parts to the spirit plane. The tosha pits only contain some spirits, where do the spirits of other creatures go?

* Is there any other plane further *that* way (because I always visualize the spirit plane being underneath prime, or lower down in the hierarchy)

If there is going to be one, I'd hazard a guess as its name being 'Ophiuchus'. Unlike other spheres, this was touched by the taint of Illith. Filled with snakes with heads on both ends.

Where do the Astrology signs come from? And the planets? And is there anything existing on those planets?

ohhh yes oh yes oh yes!!! Please let us one day have explorable planets!

Examine the crystal model on Xion. It's very interesting.

I want to know what role Ackleberry would play as a commune. There's Serenwilde and Glomdoring, which cover the basic taint vs. non-taint premise, but what would Ackleberry be? Would it be non-tainted or something else?

And Vortex and Continuum...man, I really REALLY want Hallifax, Gaudiguch and Ackleberry.

I'd like to know about what else is on our planet, outside of the basin, and what is on other planets, as Morgfyre has said before that he's had cults on other worlds.

What is Kane?!

Also, what life survived outside the basin (edit: What life meaning, how much, and what has it evolved into from the pressure of the, you know, barren tainted wastelands? Perhaps a touch more detailed than Tullywully.), and what happens when the Soulless (Crazen, I think) frozen in ice breaks free?

Will bards always suck?

They suck?

Yep.

How could you possibly know unl--- HEY WAIT A MINUTE! YOU CAN'T PLAY! That'll throw the WHOLE delicate balance we have established into complete disarray. Verithrax playing AND trolling, Shamarah no longer owling.

What has become of us, great Lusternia?

*dramatically staggers off the edge of a high cliff*

Lies and propaganda.

I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.

Death is a grumpy doctor?

Kay. I'm cool with that.

I'm still not sure if there are 13 spheres, because of that aetherspace bubble that keeps changing, and who knows if that's meant to be Neo-Shallamar.



Interesting. I'll have to check out Xion now that I have a ship. Of course, Aetherspace is not "real" space and I suspect the planets are orbiting bodies in a vacuum of traditional physical space. But you never know.

Of course, why do the Astral astrospheres represent Earth's zodiac while Lusternia has its own.

When Morgfyre said other worlds, he might have been speaking about probability travel--other cosmoses with their own universes, at least IMO.



Well, the valley sort of gives us hints about Ackleberry, so you can get hints. I want to know more about those two cosmic planes because right now there are little hints about that. We've seen the Lucidian observatory which hints at Hallifax, and Mount Zoarka which hints at Gaudigulch, but those hints don't suggest what the cosmic planes are like.

I guess what I'm saying is I'd like to see plots that reveal some of the mysteries. If those three areas can't come back until we get a larger player base, I understand, but let's see hints of what they were.



Yeah, that's kind of what I was getting at. However, I doubt it's all wasteland. The Wyrd gives hints at how nature can adapt to the touch of the soulless. After thousands of years I'll bet some areas are much more "normal".

Astral spheres represent Lusternia's zodiac because they hadn't thought of Lusternia's at the time. Estarra posted about it a while ago.

I was up on the rock early this morning and it still says thirteen spheres. Yes it could be Shallamar I suppose as last time I checked survey while doing the intro quest it said Astral. But I like believing there is another sphere somewhere, as Rika said, called Ophiucus. I was convinced of this during the big serpent event, because the other name for this zodiac sign is Serpentarius!

Anyway, this is my little obsession and I'm clinging to it! One day I'll be scouting the astral aetherspace and it will be there! I just have to BELIEVE! *closes his eyes, taps the heels of his ruby slippers together three times* "there's no place like Ophiucus, there's no place like Ophiucus.. there's no place like...

Damnit, will someone FIX that typo already?
