Editing Hollow World (section)

==The Downside==
Now, being a native of the Hollow World may sound like a pretty sweet deal... y'know, apart from being a glorified zoo exhibit for the [[Mystaran Immortal]]s and any [[adventurer]]s from the surface. But there are some pretty major downsides to this whole project. Even [[Mr. Welch]], the legendary [[Mystara]] promoter, thought that the Hollow World basically fell apart when you thought about it too hard, and put together a video explaining why, which you can watch [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P-lecJnF5E over here]].

What's the problem? Essentially, because the Hollow World took each resident culture at the nadir of its culture, they are trapped forever at the verge of complete and utter failure, meaning that they literally only continue to exist because they have a bunch of dedicated immortals who are working around the clock to actively reset things when they finally die out. The Gentle Folk are super-pacifists who literally have no survival instincts. The Blackmooor elves cannot grow out of their apathetic indifference to the world around them. The Brute-Men and Beastmen are stuck in the Stone Age whilst surrounded by more advanced civilizations. The Nithians can't grow out of being a bunch of backstabbing douchebags. The whole Hollow World project depends on the Spell of Preservation to keep them from just crumbling into nothing, and even then, it only works because the Immortals are constantly shoring things up by resurrecting the dead or switching civilizations to more hospitable points on the Hollow World.
