Okay, so for Pillar size: the Washington Monument is 555 feet tall and 55 feet across at the base for comparison. It's pretty tall, no doubt, but well within human standards. In fantasy land, kinda small I'd say, especially if we're going for awe-inspiring.

the Burj Khalifa is the tallest man-made thing on Earth, at 2,722 feet and I don't know how big across. At Washington Monument proportions it'd be ~270 feet wide.

I'd say this is more what we're going for - Each pillar is 2,500 feet tall, 250 feet wide at the base and, let's say, 150 feet at the top of the shaft before it forms into a pyramid. This would give us an obelisk structure that looks like the Washington monument but the size of the Burj Khalifav --Whinehurst (talk) 11:26, 12 November 2014 (PST)


So we're not going with the massive reaches the upper atmosphere tall? If we're not doing that, then are we still doing the thing where they go as deep as the core of the planet?

The Underdark extends miles underground, so how deep do we want them to go? --Spookyhappyfun (talk) 12:18, 12 November 2014 (PST)

'The Pillar's' Conslidaiont

I'd like to consolidate all the pillars onto one page; I don't imagine we'll have that much background for each individual pillar to merit a page each. --Whinehurst (talk) 11:27, 12 November 2014 (PST)

Works for me. When originally creating the pages, I think I had thought that we'd put info about the domains in each individual page as well as the history of whatever city had been founded there. But feel free to consolidate into the one page and just make separate sections for each one. --Spookyhappyfun (talk) 12:08, 12 November 2014 (PST)
