I want to do something with the Cloudlands. For those not familiar, they were described briefly in Elminster's Ecologies as a realm above the Stonelands. Now mostly destroyed, the ruins of their buildings makes up the ruins in the stonelands.
The Cloudlands were mostly destroyed during the Crown Vs. Scepter wars - they were not named then but are now.
Has anyone done anything with this? |

Dragons, avariel, avians, etc.
Yes, that would work as well. |

Alias and Alusair you say? What's that url? |

I knew we had talked about this before some time (relatively) recently. |

You might find some ideas in this thread from last year.

Wow Sage - I never noticed that reference. I love the name... but I'm going to suggest a slight change:
the Cloudlands of Avaeręther |

It's long been a region I've been fascinated with. And the tantalising reference in Lost Empires of Faerūn [pg. 134] names the realm as "Cloudlands of Avaeraether," but little else beyond that point.
So, yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing/working more with this reference and/or the info provided in The Stonelands and the Goblin Marches. |
