So a little more on lore. I was trying to find out a little more on how the PoP storyline begins and it's all quite wordy and pretty vague at certain points. Basically I was trying to find out if there was any point to all the planes being accessible from the Plane of Tranquility instead of the old world zones:

Basically, the only relevant part is at the very end:
Quote:
"Now go and prepare. Soon the morning mists will lift to reveal the portals to a new age. The Age of Balance is nearly upon us."
With this, the elder walks from the large room and allows it to return to being an infirmary for the casualties of the new age.
The Book and the Pedestal
The night slowly pulls its face from Norrath, leaving only the dewy residue of its dark kiss. Creatures scurry to find a shady resting place to wait out the day, and the inhabitants of all the cities of man awaken. It will be hours yet before these cities become fully aware of their newest landmarks, the portals in the form of stone pedestals that litter the face of Norrath’s landscape.
Most days begin, fade, and end, all part of the slow blur that makes up the common life. Sometimes a clear path will present itself and lead its follower astray from that common life. This path comes to its traveler in a variety of forms: the magic in a child's first book; the promise of a couple’s first glance; the hero's first step into the dank mouth of some forgotten cave. All these things can break the blurry cycle of the day and yield adventure.
This morning will present to the citizens a new path, a path in the form of a portal--a path that will forever change their lives.

Basically you can keep all the lore and just drop the dumb part about pedestals with books on them, which I always felt was a cheap and cheesy solution to get everyone to start using PoK as a hub. It never made any sense. So just leave those 2 paragraphs out of the lore and voila!
