Editing Kuo-toa (section)

==Eberron==
Keith Baker expanded on the uniquely [[Eberron]] spin on Kuo-toa in his second [[splatbook]] for [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]] (you know, the ones he wrote himself rather than trusting [[Wizards of the Coast]] not to butcher them?) - in it, he describes kuo-toa as an entire race who live simultaneously in the [[Material Plane]] and the [[Plane of Dreams]], perceiving both at the same time. Unfortunately, since the Plane of Dreams has largely shifted into/been subsumed by the [[Demiplane of Nightmares]], this leaves the entire race trapped in a literal living nightmare, which is the reason why their home ocean is so salty it's completely inhospitable to most forms of life - even [[sahuagin]] can't survive here. Also, their "gods" are actually [[Quori]] who have been captured and warped into new identities by the collective power of kuo-toa madness, still horribly aware of their true selves but unable to act outside of their forcibly assigned identities, so most of the dream-fiends stay ''well away'' from kuo-toa lands!
