    I can't help you with the information about the layer as a whole, but the main two sources of information about the Draeden are the Gold Box D&D Immortals rules and the Wrath of the Immortals D&D box (i.e. immortals rules 2). I believe there is some stuff scattered around the D&D books but it is just scraps.

    There is also a couple paragraphs about Ulgursheck on pg 126 of the fiendish codex I. That's where i first found it, and never found it again because i never thought to look in the demonweb section because it is a completely different layer. Lolth has a serious hording problem.

    Fiendish Codex I is the only mention of Ulgurshek. Draedens are very difficult to find info on; you'll want the Immortals Rules for that, or you can ask questions here (or search past threads).

    What I really wanted to ask, but couldn't because I'm bad at explaining, is, where would you place geographically if you had to the planes of the great wheel?
    I wouldn't. I'd drink hemlock tea first. I consider the very idea that these planes have any value to be utterly farcical. The notion that they could be equal in stature to the planes of the Great Wheel is completely absurd. Almost all of them are nothing more than clumsily-"designed," pale imitations of the planes they're supposed to be. But here, I'll do two for you for free: I would place The Abyss in the Abyss and The Nine Hells in Baator.

    I don't know why you think this is a desirable or interesting idea, but I'm not going to indulge it. Questions not pertaining to that abysmal excuse for a "creative" and "separate" cosmology remain welcome.

    This is a classic. I suppose the other conventional methods are also in order. Mind you it will ultimately depend on how Asmodeus feels about your accession.

    How could one become friends with Asmodeus? (this one's a little less serious, but is probably very important)
    Hm. Not really sure. He does have friends, of a sort...

    Psionics short out too. I would expect incarnum, binding, shadowmagic and truenaming all suffer the same fate. Martial initiators... hard to say.

    Rules-wise, shadowmagic definitely shorts out. Fluff-wise it is basically just a very alien form of arcane magic linked to the shadow plane. so if arcane magic goes so does shadowmagic.

    I respect your possition on the cosmology, albeit I might no share it.

    Ok... So what would you deem the best sources for valid/canon information on the planes, the deities who live theres etc. anno circa: 1350-1374-ish?

    I have access to most 2nd and 3.x material. Dragon Magazines also.

    Thanks

    Egh... odopi, probably a few Tarterian dragons, bonespears, shrieking terrors, varrangoins have been found there, though they aren't native... local hordlings... utukku, vorr... I'd expect some bloodthorn.

    Empyreal Citadels, I kinda want to talk about them but don't have any actual questions do, I dunno, any thoughts where they'd be located (aside from listed "rumors" in Toril and Greyhawk), and interesting things to fill them with?

    Also, kinda thinking about doing a Hindu inspired planar campaign but not sure how to structure it. Maybe kick out the transitive planes and replace them with a modified (see: neutral) beastlands? Keep Celestia and the nine hells but cut the latter down to seven? Any suggestions welcome. Understood if you don't want to touch this one.

    Mind you, all my Hindu knowledge is years old and I don't remember much, but maybe using the Plane of Spirits (Manual of the Planes) instead of the transitive planes?

    Thanks a lot! Vorr and bonespear will come handy. I already knew about shrieking terrors, didn't mention them since they're pretty much implied by vargouilles.

    Oh, is it already time for another round of Let's Refer To One Of Fro's Least Favorite Books? Alright then.

    Ugh, let's see... I would expect that if an Empyreal Citadel is not somewhere in the Great Glacier, then it's likely not on the macrocontinent at all - too many adventurers, wizards, kingdoms and empires traipsing around all across it. Anchorômé, perhaps, or Aurune, or maybe the Land of Flying Monkeys or the Unknown Lands west of Maztica.

    What other Prime worlds can we really talk about... hm. Eberron's not really my strong suit, but you've got Xen'drik out there, that's pretty unexplored. The strange land-bite south of it, perhaps? On Krynn I doubt one would be needed, but I'd say the outer isles around Adlatum would be suitable.

    What's inside? Very few eladrin, I'd wager, since they're not to interact with mortals on the Prime as a general rule and might get antsy about having to stay shut up in a hidden base with only other celestials for company. No asuras. Guardinals and archons, I would expect, with a couple of lower-end angels along, and allied celestial beasts.

    Have you thought about writing down your emotions at this point? Try to put yourself into the shoes of this lady friend you are mentioning: how would you feel in her place? Maybe you should give her some space, and some time away from you. She might get in touch eventually. What, wrong thread?

    Xen’drik is not only unexplored, but unexplorable due to magics moving things around constantly. Also, there is a far-northern continent, supposedly where the dwarves originally came from, that is so utterly locked down with cold and ice that no significant exploration of it have been made either.

    Sounds good. I had considered Athens but doesn't seem quite right, not enough of a demonic force to be countering. Aside, are the Empyreal Citadels one of the things you disliked from this source?



    That cosmology is not really my strong suit, sadly.
    Fair enough. I can't recall having seen much detail on it within the context of D&D in any of the older sources but it's been a while since I've looked.

    An NPC in the Spelljammer game I'm running mentioned something as being "from beyond the phlogiston". I'm assuming that this NPC was simply misinformed about the nature of wildspace the phlogiston, or at best was waxing poetical about describing something from beyond well-mapped, easily accessible by phlogiston flow, regions. But I want to make sure there's not a more literal interpretation I could be overlooking. So, probably a dumb question, but: wildspace the phlogiston just goes on forever, right? Doesn't have a border or an end?

    Wildspace is the inside of a Crystal Sphere whereas Phlogiston is the outside; the latter is endless, the former isn't.

    Wait, how did I miss that? Jeez, I guess I didn't do my reading carefully enough, somehow I thought they were synonyms (or, more precisely, that wildspace was the place, phlogiston was the substance). Inept Malimar is inept.

    Who (or what) exactly is Ulgurshek? I came across it in Fiendish Codex I, and it made me curious. All it says is that it's "An acient entity created before the formation of the Great Wheel."

    We probably did, I'm bad at remembering how long ago things were.

    I use braces (also known as "curly brackets") to indicate sarcasm. If there are none present, I probably believe what I am saying; should it turn out to be inaccurate trivia, please tell me rather than trying to play along with an apparent joke I don't know I'm making.

    Poetic way of describing something from another plane.

    Buuuut more likely that NPC was performing autocraniorectal oratory, if you know what I mean.

    Ulgurshek is a draeden, an incalculably ancient being from a race that despises elemental matter.

    You mentioned that you don't think Binding would work close to the spire... Did you mean the process of binding, accessing the supernatural abilities, or both?

    Along the same lines; vestiges seem to 'exist' in some sense in the cosmos; does their nebulous state extend to other realities?

    Meaning... Can I bind a vestige deep out in the Far Realm?

    Or when I trek to another Cosmology via the Shadow Plane?

    How about... Are Vestiges temporally linear, in that if I traveled back in time to 'before' the Vestige became a Vestige can I still bind it?

    If 'no' to any of the above, what would happen if I went to (far realm/alternate cosmology/distant past) with a Vestige already bound?
