    Only Syre and Daniel are given any importance.
    I don't believe anyone else of that bloodline should be as powerful (or at least has as much potential) as Daniel or Syre, as these two each got half of what makes up the Targaryen Bloodline (Infinite potential and World Dragon Jörmungandr).

    There are other alignment planes too. What baator and abyss are just the Lawful Evil and Chaotic Evil subworlds.
    I also believe it is the same world origin, just different aspects of it. it is an absolutely sprawling world origin

    The system for The World of The Gods is needlessly complex.

    Keep in mind that calling it "world of gods" is a misnomer. it is "worlds of gods", plural.
    It is one of the three most powerful "worlds", and it is actually a whole cluster of different worlds linked together.

    here is the wiki page explaining it http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Great_Wheel_cosmology

    This is why the Pathfinder system makes more sense.

    does that mean that theres 9 world will's in total? i am really confused. Or is the alignments the reasons gods exist? since a god is basically a weaker version of world will.

    Im sure this is what you were going for but this response strengthens my statement a lot.

    The problem is all the little changes the author made to his plagarized version of The Forgotten Realms and D&D mechanics.
    They add and change so many things that Leylin ends up just being able to circumvent. Thus they are needlessly complex systems.

    I think they are aspects of the same world will, the same way that "the father, son, and the holy spirit" are the 3 aspects of yahwe in christianity or that rama and krishna are aspects of vishnu

    Or how leylin faulen is an aspect of leylin farlier. Both of them cultivate separately yet are the same person and when leylin faulen become a god, leylin farlier soul healed and he awoke and started transmitting more power to leylin faulen.

    Or maybe a clone is more significant separation than an aspect? in which case it would be equivalent to how leylin faulen can emit devil aura and also answer prayers to kakulkulan.

    And there might be even more world wills

    The 4 confirmed planes:
    Prime material plane
    Chaotic evil plane = Abyss, home of demons
    Lawful evil plane = Hell, home of devils
    lawful good plane = Seven Heavens/Mount Celestia, home of archons

    So that is 4 confirmed. Although I can't find the exact reference though, but I remember MC mentioned not being as familiar with the celestial planes as he was with the hells. It is possible that the author decided that gods all live in the celestial planes and as such treats them as a singular thing instead of 3 seperate planes (lawful good, neutral good, and chaotic good).

    Also since we have seen no references to the neutral evil plane it is possible the author cut it out too. But if he hasn't than you would have 9 or 10 planes. Depending on whether or not
    True Neutral = Concordant Opposition/Outlands, has no natives but all races can be found here, also sigil the city of doors is at its center (from planescape torment).

    This one is a bit suspect because it is possible that the author of WMW has decided to cut it out and that neutral plane is the

    Author might or might not have cut out the neutral planes. such as:
    Neutral evil plane = Tarterus/Carceri, home of Yugoloths aka daemons
    Lawful neutral plane = Nirvana/Mechanus, home of Modrons
    etc

    Also, there are "halfway" planes. For example, in the halfway point between lawful neutral and lawful good you have
    LN-LG hybrid = Arcadia, origin home of soul legions, and metallic plants and animals. Also populated by various angel migrants from the other good realms.

    If that is the case that would mean 17 planes with 17 world wills. And that is just the alignment planes! there are also elemental planes such as fire, water, etc.

    Also, every plane has layers. For example, even arcadia, a mere halfway plane between LN and LG has 3 layers. While hell has 9 layers and abyss has thousands of layers.

    Every layer tends to have its own different unique laws of reality, and every layer is generally bigger than the prime material plane. In fact many layers are LITERALLY infinite

    but why didn't leylin ever try finishing that 1% of law himself? its not like he can't get his own insight into laws or learn laws like a normal person.

    Cause it seems as though you can't have concurrent ownership of 100% of the same law, which is stupid, but it seems to be the case.

    While that is likely true, I think it's redundant for Leylin's situation, cause AI Chip + time.

    I always thought the reason he couldn't just comprehend the law was because he stole it. All his comprehension of it came from elsewhere so he had to finish it in the same way he started. By stealing and devouring it.

    Though I agree that the novel seems to make it so that only 1 person can be in control of a law at a time even though it never actually says that.
    The author really needs to give some clarity regarding that.

    I'm pretty sure that's irrelevant. He's trying to gain the rest of the laws of gluttony in preparation for his ascension to Rank 8, which requires several complete laws, with one as the main basis, which for Leylin will either be his law of devouring or a some kind of law of dreamscape.
