Wouldn't the Lunar heaven be an Orlanthi Hell though. The place where
all the Orlanthi children have been told that the Red Emperor and his
despicable minions live, torturing any Orlanthi they might capture
there.
And surely the Lunar afterlife doesn't include all your ancestors and
clan founders. You would be there on your lonesome. Spending an
eternity in Afterlife tainted with Chaos all because you sold out.
You were quite right not to rise to the IRA ruse. I take it back.

Well you just hit on one of my pet projects; Garsting.
Garsting is a blank land so there's no authoriative source on what's
there. However looking at what surrounds it can give clues to what
it's like. The Elf Sea is on the nth Eastern border I think. Not that
much known about it except the prescence of HUGE fish detailed in
Griffin Mtn. There's the Redlands to the Nth beyond the Sea. Pentians
Sun Nomads. A bad place to expand into. Even the Lunar Empire has
trouble with the pesky nomads.
Then there's the Mad Sultanate made by Jannisor a hero in the
beginning of the Lunar Empire. Jannisor I'm sure was a mighty Lodril
Hero. Apparently he was later erased by the Lunars but I have a
cunning plan that explains his possible resurgence and resurrection
in Garsting. As for the MAd Sultanate I'm sure it's a bit like Arkham
Asylum ala Batman. Plenty of disturbing and ill people in there. Now
that I think about it a good place for adventure. Problematic in that
if you enter an occupant escapes. Some sort of conservation problem I
guess.
What else is around there?
