Nightlord in the Federation of Magic

Unread post by Robotech_Elder »

Ok this has been bugging me for most of the week. I would have sworn i read some where about a nightlord being within the federation of magic and he was pissed off because a silhouette was within his territory. Can someone help me recall where this is at? Either at or I'm just not remembering things correctly. :?

I'm telling you I read a reference somewhere about some Nightlord or maybe Shadowlord being mad because a Silhouette from phase world was in his territory or something like that. Maybe it wasn't federation of magic...Tolkeen? but its been driving me nuts trying to find the reference for it all week. I dunno why I'm obsessed with this issue right but I am.

Did you try the NightBane books? Maybe Nightlands?

Lord Grey is not a Nightlord. He is a Shadow-Lord.
Unfortunately he is NOT canon; he only showed up in one of the early 30's of the Rifters (I didn't buy the issue cuz the rest of it sucked).

The article was great..I've actualy used the concept of Lord Grey a couple of times in my campaign, I just don't own the Rifter he's in.
Basicly, he exists in-between the realm of elemental shadow and the physical plane.
His entire castle and surrounding tetrritory 'd-shifts' around the Magic-Zone at random.

Really Robotech_Elder, YOU should make a story about a Nightbane in Rifts who has a pocket kingdom. I would love to read it.
L-20 Pulse Rifle=25,000 Credits, Plastic Man Full Environmental Armor=18,000 Credits, Speedster Hovercycle w/Nuclear power and Laser=461,000 Credits.

Playing Rifts with your five older children, PRICELESS.

Its in Rifter 28. Personally, I've thought about doing a small dimension book on the Shadow Realm.

Woiuld not a nightlord with all their resources and power imo be too powerful for the FOM to handle let alone control. Odds are one would more than liely oust the current leadership and take control.

Palladium can't be given a free pass for criticism because people have a lot of emotion invested in it.

The Nightspawn sourcebook compared a Nightlord on Rifts Earth as being powered up equal to an Alien Intelligence, and on the top end of power not bottom. So a Nightlord on Rifts Earth would be extremely hard to handle, and require the likes of the other alien intelligences around on Rifts Earth to contain, especially when you consider all the minions that will be supernatural MDC beings and that exist in the hundreds of thousands to millions.
Fair warning: I consider being called a munchkin a highly offensive slur and do report people when they err in doing so.

'Reality is very disappointing.' - Jonathan Switcher from Mannequin

It's 'canon', not 'cannon'. A cannon is a big gun like on pirate ships, canon is what you mean when referring to something as being contained within one of the books such as how many dice to roll for a stat.

At least the peeps of Rifts Terra are in luck due to fact the Nightlords still have the same limmitations of crossing over into side-real reality from the nightlands. Praise Thoth the Mirror wall is in place still.

That being said, Lord Grey is NOT a Nightlord. He is a Shadow Lord (Galctus Kid stated the issue he shows up; Rifter #28). If you WANT a nightlord in your campiagn however, my sympathies to your players and condolances to their PC's kin. :demon: :nuke:

Nightlords are in fact among thee most powerful entities in the known megaverse. A Cabal of them have literally destroyed entire Dimensions before ..

Something that has never been done before or after according to canon ..

That alone should show you the power of the Nightlords.

One Nightlord in Rifts Earth NA .. would change the power stucture of the entire North American continent .. and have everyone guessing as to what is really happening as no one would EVER .. be able to discover in time what / who is really doing what ..

Till its too late .. And by then .. the Nightlord would have already been entrenched long enough to literally be impossible to (or close to it) to kick outta town (so to speak)
