So, let's say my character goes to the Forge, puts together the focus that allows me to return. I get killed, go to Manifest, possess a live body, then cast Plane Shift to take me and my possessed body back to the Forge.
So, what happens? Do I now get to be a functional ghost on the Forge? Reading a lot of the Forge material, that might be a first.
So, according to Ghostbound history, 1000 years ago people found this cave that leads to the gates to the afterlife. Do these lead to the Fugue plane? Apparently, some dwarves found the gates first, nothing in the book says anything about how long they have been there. So, somewhere waaaaay back the PM's crystal sphere got created. Do all crystal spheres have an interface to the afterlife, or was it created by someone (a deity or group of deities, I presume)?
If it was created, then how can someone create such an interface on the Forge? Or is there one already, like out in space, from the original worlds that were destroyed? Do they have Manifest Wards? Can a Manifest Ward be created anywhere, or only where the entrance to the afterlife place intersects with the PM?
Just an observation, but it seems to me that TSR/WotC started out with the leaves on the tree (game rules/campaign settings), then reverse engineered to the deities and planes, but never got around to building a cohesive creation system that explains the actual existence of the multiverse in the first place. It's kind of like designing a house from the rooftop down, then finding out no foundation could possibly support all the parts.
