For a mortal, it would be most if not beyond their lifespan to play. This is how the world is viewed by most gods."<br/><br/>He waved, and dozens of pieces fell into place, demons, chromatic dragons, orcs, hobgoblins and many more were scattered around the edges, and a small handful of pieces in the center.
