Not to be a stick in the mud, but here's another thing to take into account.
I've always considered my realm to be set in the past relative to all the
others. After all, there are things that have/will happen in my realm that if
we had one all encompassing world, would effect the whole darn thing. And with
the different planes of existance, you would think that an evil and all
powerful necromancer like my evil villian would take full advantage of any
portals he could find, pouring his army into a less prepared realm. Of course,
I've also envisioned allowing other people, if they so chose to do so, use my
realm to help form and create a background for any one of their characters.
You see, not to give too much of the plot away, most of the characters in my
realm do not survive the next 20 years of their time. Leaving a void and
desolate realm for any rouge or king to form his fortune. Anyway, it's not
important, just some thoughts. It's not like my realm is really all that
important anyway. Thats my 2 cents.
