Huzzah for the Purity Crusade.
The inhabitants of this domain are, for the most part,
modern (there are a few refugees from Olympus, but not
many), and certainly indifferent to traditional
ethereal concerns. From their point of view, Heaven
did them a favor by clear out the deadwood: the Host
hasn't really gotten it through its collective heads
yet that humans like having anthropomorphic gods.
There will always be ethereals around.
It might as well be them. This domain is home to all
the spirits created from the belief in Ancient
Engineers, Chariots of the Gods, Wise and Benevolent
Space Brothers, Lost Continents (obviously), Secret
Masters, Undersea Kingdoms and every other bit of
pseudoscientific claptrap that's cropped up in the
last 100 years. It's mostly innocent claptrap
(although getting rid of those damned Antarctic Space
Nazis was a chore and a half), but none of the
inhabitants has a very high opinion of the average
human's capacity for rational thinking. This is
probably reinforced by the few dream shades that show
up (the less said about them, the better).
The domain is ... well, garish. Seeing as it's more
or less run by committee, the landscape itself can't
decide whether to be above or below water, and
compromises by periodically sinking under the
surrounding 'sea', only to rise again. This has no
effect on the architecture or populace, naturally.
The architecture tends to Greek (lots of pillars),
Egyptian (lots of pyramids) and Crystalline (you can't
walk a yard without tripping over a crystal the size
of a Buick) - or, horribly, all three at once.
Naturally, the Lost Continentals have strong links
with Nybbas (a few of the Cattle Mutilators work with
Beleth, but she's otherwise not too popular): he uses
them in his efforts to short-circuit spiritual
impulses among his viewers. How well it works depends
on who you ask: the Host is certainly starting to
especially despise these ethereals, but Nybbas hasn't
yet hit upon a Media-supported religion that has a
successful (from his point of view) impact on
Destiny/Fate ratios. Most Lost Continentals don't
think that he actually will, but they're smart enough
to tell him that to his face...
