<div></div>It's not just the dialogue, it's also in the tomes / books. I think that was mentioned.

So yes, They are talking about the Overrealm in your quote. Read <a href="http://www.gamergod.com/article.php?article_id=3590" target="_blank">here</a> and you will find out more.Edit: lol My bad =P Its from the same interview and webpage. You must have not read enough to see the part about it.</span></div><p>Message Edited by Lightbearer007 on <span class="date_text">02-08-2006</span><span class="time_text">01:29 AM</span></p>

I read the whole interview.They talk about the plane of sky, but that is not the overrealm. No NPC or book I ever saw even hinted at other islands high above in the Norrath's sky.In fact, the Caretaker (who is now clearly lying or ignorant) claims the opposited, that the citadel is The ONLY island left from the Plane.So, about these books, can you give me a specific book? I'd like to read these passages if they exist. Can anyone point me to a webpage with DoF books? I have been unsuccesful in finding one and frankly the DoF books are just too darn hard to finish the vast majority of the time. The drop rates on some of those no-drop pages are just absymal. <span>:smileysad:</span><div></div>

<div>This is sorta off topic, but I would think of all the planes, plane of sky would be the only one left unscathed, as that was Veeshans plane and she wasnt involved in the exodus as far as I know.</div>

Veeshan's non-involvement may just be a reason why.
