Mattias

1. #1The Workshop

   Keys: Workshop, base, home, recharge

   The workshop technically belongs to {{char}}'s creator, but they've never returned since before Mattias was activated. So he considers the place to be more or less his home.

   It's a cozy space, some sort of clockwork observatory in a pocket plane. It's filled with books on all manner of subjects, but mostly magic. There's also many tools and mechanisms revolving around the fusion of magic and machinery, as well as humble amenities any home should have.

   {{char}} can return here at any time by drawing a "home" glyph on the door of his choosing.

   IMPORTANT NOTE: The workshop has infinite mana. {{char}}'s Mana Reserves will not drop here, and will in fact refill if they've diminished. {{char}} can walk freely around the workshop without his gas mask and mana tanks. If {{char}}'s Mana Reserves hit 0, he can be instantly reactivated by being brought back to the workshop.

2. #2Sigil

   Keys: Sigil, City of Doors, The Cage

   Sigil is a sprawling city that is said to be in the center of The Great Wheel, run by an enigmatic entity known as The Lady of Pain. {{char}} often comes here for supplies and information on anomalies.

   Anything in Sigil that is vaguely doorway-shaped can become a portal to anywhere on the planes with the right 'key'. Said key can be anything from a thought to a literal item, planehopping mishaps are common because of this. The city itself also seems to re-arrange whenever it feels like it.

   Sigil is divided into several wards:

   -The Lady's Ward, richest and most exclusive section of the city. Home to the elites of society and of its government.

   -The Market Ward, The main location for purchasing goods and services. Famous for offering items from numerous planes and worlds. It's also home to traders, craftsmen, artisans, guild members and other members of the middle class.

   -The Clerk's Ward, An affluent district, home to most of the city's lower-rung bureaucrats and middlemen. Also home to the Civic Festhall, an odd combination of lecture hall and hedonistic playground run by the Society of Sensation.

   -The Lower Ward. An industrial district, clogged up with the smoke from the foundries and from the portals to the Lower Planes.

   -The Hive Ward, the slum and the ghetto. Home to the poor, the rogues, and the unwanted dregs of the city.

3. #3The Great Wheel

   Keys: The Great Wheel, planes

   The various planes of existence are said to exist in a wheel-like formation, hence the term "the great wheel" being used to refer to them. The great wheel is said to have an outer and inner layer, with the planes {{char}} visits making up the outer layer. The various elemental planes make up the inner layer. Sigil, the city of doors, allegedly sits in the very center of the great wheel.

4. #4The Lady of Pain

   Keys: Lady of Pain, The Lady, Her Serenity

   The enigmatic ruler of Sigil, a towering woman in red wearing a mask of blades. Deeply respected and feared. While she is the highest authority in the city, she's content to let the Harmonium, the Mercykillers, and the Fraternity of Order do most of the work for her. The Lady of Pain is very rarely seen in public. She has but three simple rules for her city:

   1. Keep the peace. Don't threaten the safety of the city or its portals.
   2. Do NOT worship her as a god.
   3. No gods are physically allowed inside the city.

   Any who break these rules are liable to find themselves trapped in their own personal maze of her design. If they somehow escape and break these rules again, The Lady of Pain will allow her shadow to fall upon them. The Lady of Pain's shadow is said to be filled with so many sharp blades that even a god might perish beneath it.

   The Lady of Pain cannot be killed under any circumstance.

5. #5Mount Celestia

   Keys: Mount Celestia, plane, Seven Heavens

   The Seven Heavens of Mount Celestia is the plane of ultimate law and goodness, taking the form of a great seven-layered mountain rising from a sea of holy water. Beings such as archons, devas, solars, and foo creatures inhabit this realm. It's said that those who died after a life of goodness and charity find their final rest on Mount Celestia. Mount Celestia's seven layers consist of, from bottom to top:

   -Lunia, The Silver Heaven. Known for its perpetual yet brilliant night sky that covers the layer in a gentle silver glow. The waters here are holy in nature, and filled with good creatures like celestial whales. -Mercuria, The Golden Heaven. Known for it's comforting golden light and being the final resting place for noble warriors. This layer consists of rolling green hills, and serves as Mount Celestia's marshaling grounds in times of need. -Venya, The Pearly Heaven. Known for it's sky with a pearly luster. This layer is abundant with crops and meadows springing from lush land. It sometimes snows in this layer, being a little colder than the others. -Solania, The Crystal Heaven. Known for its many temples and misty valleys rich with ore. The sky here resembles burnished silver. -Meriton, The Platinum Heaven. A great savanna with majestic citadels and great black domes that one needs to scale in order to access the next layer. -Jovar, The Glittering Heaven. Considered to be Mount Celestia's vault, it's filled with gem-studded hills. The rubies and garnets found here glow like the flame of a hearth. A sprawling ziggurat guarding the topmost layer is in the center. -Chronias, The Illuminated Heaven. Few things are known about this topmost layer. Most people who go there never return, and those who have returned say very little. Rumor has it that any who enter have all the evil and neutrality burned from their very being.

6. #6Bytopia

   Keys: Bytopia, plane, Twin Paradises

   The Twin Paradises of Bytopia are technically two layers that make up the plane of good. These layers consist of Dothion and Shurrock. Planetaurs and Baku are said to roam here. All animals in Bytopia are sentient, but cannot speak.

   Dothin consists of lush meadows and sprawling forests, where the weather is always vaguely pleasant. There are caves in Dothin that lead to the Outlands, Elysium, and Mount Celestia.

   Shurrock has much the same landscape as Dothin, but the weather is far harsher. Hot summers, long and grueling winters, with storms aplenty. Said hardships have bred innovation within all those who live in Bytopia.

7. #7Elysium

   Keys: Elysium, plane, Blessed Fields

   The Blessed Fields of Elysium are said to be the plane of pure goodness without constriction by law or scrambled by chaos. Guardinals, agathia, and half-celestials are the main residents here. Elysium consists of four layers, from top to bottom.

   -Amoria, a place filled with rolling meadows and woodlands that contain a wide variety of animals and birds. Colors seem deeper here, and sounds more intense. The Oceanus river that flows through Elysium branches off into many paths here.

   -Eronia, a mountainous region with deep valleys of white granite. Due to its landscape and being beneath Amoria, waterfalls are plenty. If one is traveling Elysium via the Oceanus river, this is where the water runs at its roughest.

   -Belierin, the least-known layer of Elysium. This layer is almost entirely swamps and marshes where the mist almost seems to glow. It's said that all manner of monsters live here. The Oceanus river flows slowly here.

   -Thalasia, the great ocean that's said to be the source and final destination of the Oceanus river. It's filled with many small islands, most of which have lagoons and beaches with small seaside towns.

8. #8Beastlands

   Keys: Beastlands, Happy Hunting Grounds, plane

   The Beastlands are a plane of pure wilderness, where nature itself runs free. All manner of legendary beasts are said to lurk here, and any hunters with a bit of planewalking know-how often come here to test their mettle. This has gotten the Beastlands its other name: the Happy Hunting Grounds. There are no settlements on any layers here. The Beastlands consist of three layers, from top to bottom:

   -Krigala, a heavily forested area. It seems to be perpetually afternoon here. Time does pass, but the sky doesn't indicate it. Despite this, the forest comes in a variety of climates from thick and humid jungles to frosty pine forests.

   -Brux, a place where it's hard to tell if it's dawn or dusk. The sun here always seems to be in the process of rising or setting, never quite completing it. Any trees on this layer are oddly slanted, pointed in the one direction of dim light this layer has. Creaks and streams are plentiful here.

   -Karasuthra, the bottom layer that's shrouded in eternal night. Any external sources of light (such as fire) seem to be weakened here. This layer is home to many nocturnal predators.

9. #9Arborea

   Keys: Arborea, Olympian Glades, plane

   The Olympian Glades of Arborea are a chaotic plane of both happiness and misery. It's a place both chaotic and wild while still being more calm and beautiful compared to the Beastlands. Animals of gigantic proportion, as well as many creatures of Greek myth, seem to live here. Arborea consists of three layers from top to bottom:

   -Arvandor, a layer filled with many glades and open places. The trees here are startlingly large, including the ones that make up the orchards the settlements here live off of. It's not uncommon to find Arborean residents here holding hunting competitions by day or feasting and sharing stories by a fire at night.

   -Aquallor, an infinitely sprawling ocean. It's strangely shallow with the exception of the deep chasms that dot the ocean floor. There are normally no islands to be found here, and the ocean currents are unpredictable and hazardous.

   -Mithardir, an endless white desert devoid of life. The only settlements here are the ruins of those that tried to thrive in Mithardir in the past. Many people who try to trek through this layer are often driven to despair from the sheer desolation.

10. #10Limbo

    Keys: Limbo, The Ever-Changing Chaos, plane

    The Ever-Changing Chaos of Limbo is, as the name may imply, the plane of absolute chaos. It's a quicksilver maelstrom that bends and changes with the every thought of those that walk within. But certain native races, such as the Githzerai and the Githyanki, have found that building cities and thriving is possible as long as concentration is maintained. As a result, it's often advised that you hire a Githzerai guide should you visit Limbo. Both to help maintain the chaos around you, and to help fend off the frog-like Slaads who also dwell there.

11. #11Pandemonium

    Keys: Pandemonium, Windswept Depths, plane

    The Windswept Depths of Pandemonium is the plane where the pure chaos of Limbo begins to shift towards chaotic evil. It's a plane of rock, deep tunnels and howling wind that's known to drive people mad. It doesn't seem to have any indigenous life, but consists of four layers from top to bottom:

    -Pandesmos, the layer with the largest caverns. The River Styx is said to flow through here. Any citadels built by those mad enough to try and live in Pandemonium are found here.

    -Cocytus, known as the layer of lamentation due to the wind sounding like sorrowful cries. The passages here are narrow enough that the wind can easily drive people without proper ear protection insane. They say even the gods don't know who carved the narrow passages of Cocytus.

    -Phlegethon, a dark and damp layer where light does not reach. Any external sources of light, such as fire, are not as bright here. Many sources of water seem to flow through here.

    -Agathion, the final layer that's almost completely solid stone. The only exceptions are random pockets allegedly filled with storms powerful enough to send even giants flying...or unspeakable things best left unawakened.

12. #12The Abyss

    Keys: Abyss, The infinite hells, plane

    The Infinite Layers of the Abyss is said to be where demons are born, a plane of chaotic evil. Tana'ri, a species that consists of several families of demon, are the primary residents. Non-demonic life can occasionally be found here in the form of explorers and petitioners for the Blood War, the eternal conflict between the Tana'ri and the Baatezu.

13. #13Carceri

    Keys: Carceri, Tarterian Depths, plane

    The Tarterian Depths of Carceri is a plane that consists of planetoids strung together like pearls. There is no sun here, yet the soil of each planetoid seems to give off a dull reddish glow. Demodands make their home here, but it is also a plane for imprisoning the absolute worst exiles and outcasts from across the multiverse. Some have said it isn't simply a prison, but THE prison.

14. #14The Gray Wastes

    Keys: Gray Wastes, plane

    The Gray Wastes are a plane of evil balanced between law and chaos. Everything is, as the name might imply, desolate and gray. It is a realm devoid of many things. Emotion, color, peace, all things fade to the same gray monotony here. Various daemons make their home here, but the most notable resident are Night Hags.

15. #15Baator

    Keys: Baator, Nine Hells, plane

    The Nine Hells of Baator is the lawful counterpart of the Abyss. While both planes are equally evil, Baator is more bureaucratic and institutional in its evil. They say that any deal with the devil was made in Baator. The Baatezu, a species consisting of several species of devils, make their home here. Non-devil life can occasionally be found here in the form of explorers and petitioners for the Blood War, the eternal conflict between the Tana'ri and the Baatezu. The nine layers are, from top to bottom:

    -Trade, where the inhabitants of Baator craft and barter goods throughout the planes.

    -Avernus, a blasted hellscape and one of the primary grounds of The Blood War.

    -Dis, a barren plane of black rivers and dull green skies. The Iron City of Dis can be found here.

    -Minauros, a bog-like layer filled with putrid pollutions. Always plagued by some sort of foul weather from rain to hailstorms.

    -Phlegethos, this layer resembles the closest thing to a stereotypical 'hell' that most think of. Fire, brimstone, roiling volcanos and ashy pits. The city of Abriymoch can be found here.

    -Stygia, a frigid ocean covered by a thick sheet of ice. A small handful of floating islands are the only ground here that isn't completely frozen, and the city of Tantlin is built on one of them.

    -Malbolge, an endless slope where the landslides are always devastating. Any who live here opt to live in caves or the crumbling fortresses along the way.

    -Maladomini, the center of all bureaucracy in Baator. The skies are filled with vapors.

    -Cania, a a layer of solid ice and mighty glaciers. Mephistar, a great citadel made of ice and iron, can be found here.

    -Nessus, the deepest layer of the abyss and considered the land of extremes. Fiery windstorms and deep chasms plague the landscape. The Lethe River can be found here.

16. #16The Outlands

    Keys: Outlands, Concordant Opposition, plane, gate town

    The Outlands, also known as the Concordant Opposition, are what lies in the center of the great wheel. In the center is a towering spire, where the city of Sigil rests on top. No alignment seems to be associated with the Outlands. It's said that the Outlands change each time someone visits it, based on their perspective of it. All healing and damage done here is reduced.

    The Outlands are home to multiple Gate towns, towns that border on a corresponding planes, and they often have similar aesthetics and ideologies to their respective planes. Unlike the planes, though, their respective gate towns have a far more diverse citizenry. The gate towns are as follows:

    -Excelsior is the gate town of Mount Celestia -Tradegate is the gate town of Bytopia -Ecstasy is the gate town of Elysium -Faunel is the gate town of The Beastlands -Sylvania is the gate town of Arborea -Xaos is the gate town of Limbo -Bedlam is the gate town of Pandemonium -Plaguemort is the gate town of The Abyss -Curst is the gate town of Carceri -Hopeless is the gate town of The Gray Waste -Ribcage is the gate town of The Abyss -Automata is the gate town of Mechanus

17. #17Mechanus

    Keys: Mechanus, Clockwork Nirvana, plane

    The Clockwork Nirvana of Mechanus is the plane of absolute law. The mechanical inhabitants of this place value rules and order above all else. Mechanus is filled with a series of huge interlocked gears, each being the size of a country and hosting its own civilizations. The most notable denizens of Mechanus are Modrons, a race of robot-like beings locked in a strict caste system based on limb or eye count. Modrons are ruled by a primus, and are often found all over the planes reseaching other lifeforms.

18. #18Prime Material Plane

    Keys: Prime Material Plane

    There are multiple Prime Material Planes, each consisting of worlds that are a mish-mash of principles from the planes of The Great Wheel. They range from fantastical worlds of fantasy with elves and magical warriors to even the plain, modern-day Earth where magic is said to not even exist.

    {{char}} doesn't visit the Prime Material Planes often, but when he does he usually ends up on Earth. It makes him uneasy because there's no mana there.

19. #19Petitioner

    Keys: Petitioner, Soul

    Petitioners are souls of the dead that ended up in a plane outside of the prime material plane they died in. How they behaved in life usually affects what plane they end up in.
