Behind The Scenes

There were implicitly a couple of other creatures of the area, even though you cannot fight them. The crystal shards are an "other standard" extra-planar entity from Rolemaster called Crystyls, which shift between planes of existence and can exist in multiple places or planes simultaneously. In principle they are tremendous sources of information, if you were to communicate with them mentally. The sea of mud implicitly houses "other standard" extra-planar entities called Hoard, which were technically colonies of single-celled organisms, which would also move between planes of existence and were mutually self-aware. There may have been Traag, which were eaten by the magru. These would have resembled black panthers living in subterranean caverns with the ability to summon demons. The Broken Lands seems to possess numerous allusions to "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath" by H.P. Lovecraft, which was relevant to Purgatory and the design of The Graveyard. The lesser vruul reflect its "night-gaunts", which are undead in Rolemaster, though "nightwings" were analogous "other standard" entities who were soul devourers. It is a spin-off of the Bandur Etrevion story and related to Shadow Valley. The Dream-Quest itself, Shadow Valley, and Castle Anwyn were influenced by faerie lore.
