Now, now. "Far Realm" appeared - in the best Giant Space Flea From Nowhere style, without meaningful connection to anything - when Bruce Cordell was sliding from brilliant development of Monstrous Arcana into meaningless "Let's add some hentacles... more hentacles... hmmm... what now? Ooh! I know! Some extra hentacles!". Aboleths first appeared before that. Ahem. In FR sources there were mentions of aboleths lurking out of sight for ages and ages.
Whether we like it or not, new edition trumps the old ones. Or in this case, it slightly changes it. The fourth edition does not state no aboleths walked Toril (or if you want to be literal, swam the vast seas of Toril) prior to the return of Xxiphu. It only states that the aboleths that are already in Toril migrated from the Far Realm. |
Every beginning has an end. |
