I'm working on details for my campaign dealing with the Black Crater at Tilverton. I'm not sure what book that storyline is in, but my question is about the black sphere there, and what it is...is it part of the Shadow Weave?
If it is part of the Shadow Weave, would the 3rd level spell Rend Shadow Weave disrupt the sphere? That seems too easy, or it would be gone by now, but I'm curious why it still persists years later, and if there are potentially more of these shadow spheres elsewhere in the realms.
Thanks,
Melandren

The events of the sphere are detailed in the Return of the Archwizards trilogy and in the tale that connects with Tilverton in Realms of Shadow.
Basically it was created when Weave and Shadow Weave energies fought with each other and made a nasty. :) |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

The Dragon Magazine adventure "The Door from Everywhere" (sorry can't remember the exact name at the moment) touches on the topic of the black void long enough to say it's such a dangerous thing that any PC who evades Cormyrian patrols and tries to enter the void is forever lost and can never be returned. Such a PC should have their character sheat ripped up and the player start over with a new character.
So yeah "nasty" as Kuje said 100%.
As a DM I would rule Rend Shadow Weave will disrupt the sphere, but such that something horrible and nasty is allowed out of the sphere a moment before is closes back up.
Good luck and may Tymora smile on thee! |
09/20/2008: Tiger Army at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz. You wouldn’t believe how many females rode it out in the pit. Santa Cruz women are all of them beautiful. Now I know to add tough to that description.
6/27/2008: WALL-E is about the best damn movie Pixar has ever made. It had my heart racing and had me rooting for the good guy.
9/9/2006: Dave Mathews Band was off the hook at the Shoreline Amphitheater.
Never, ever read the game books too literally, or make such assumptions that what is omitted cannot be. Bad DM form, that.
And no matter how compelling a picture string theory paints, if it does not accurately describe our universe, it will be no more relevant than an elaborate game of Dungeons and Dragons. --paragraph 1, chapter 9, The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene |

Well, IIRC the name of the article was indeed "The Door from Everywhere" written by Roger E. Moore and it was published in the Dungeon Magazine #88.
