How many Netherese Arcanists and Wizards from other magic using cultures are now under the surface of Faerun due to the Imprisonment Spell. The Netherese used the spell as a form of punishment and I am sure other groups have as well. So assuming nothing has freed them, and that the fall of Nether and the Time of troubles didn.t actually cause the death or freedom of these individuals, there must be quite a few. ANy thoughts?

-No, seriously. There never was, and never will be an absolute number. So, you get to choose.

If you really want a number. Then I'll give you some dice to roll.
Since there were at least thousands of netherese during their time, we can assume that at least 10d30 were imprisoned for the hell of it. And these are just commoners off the street. Probably ****** someone off by bumping into em.
Then we can take 20d8 and say that they were randomly spread between level 1 and 6, precocious apprentices.
15d6 could be rival mages or precocious journeyman who didn't want to wait to be masters randomly levels 10 to 15
10d4 would be masters who just had really mean rivals (levels 16 to 23)
5d6 could be people who cast wish and messed up
and then throw in 7 people who were level 40 arcanists and just ****** off karsus at some point.

09-19-07, 02:40 PM I wasn't so much looking for a number, I was more interested in finding out if this was a viable idea for a campaign. The idea is that someone is using magic to locate and release these individuals causing a lot of chaos and confussion as they are freed and start to assert themselves on the modern realms
