Log X: The Primes

Update to a previous entry: It appears Equestria possesses a portal to and from Tartarus, in the Third Gloom of the Grey Wastes. Cerberus got out recently, and disported himself in Equestria briefly before returning to duty. Apparently, the Guardian of the Gates manifests locally as a much more frolicsome hound than his typical personality.

Of course, it's rather troubling that he would leave his post anyway, even if no prisoner escaped the Underworld during his jaunt. What happened, and is the Waste portal secure on the Equestrian side?

Devilsaurs. A world full of devilsaurs.

Martha! Bring me my double-bitted axe!

This is awesome.

It seems that the forces of Good might even want to send some researchers to this world to learn how it's keeping the fiends from summoning reinforcements or getting word home. Of course, you wouldn't want them to get caught and reveal the location of the portal...

And when you say intelligent, you just mean that they're bright animals, is that right? Because if they develop the spark of awareness, it's going to oblige the Upper Planes to make a stand for the souls of the new mortal race -- deviltouched or not, if they have a chance of salvation the devas have a job to do.

It sounds like several fun adventures could be set here. Very nice.

There really, really ought to be more Old West-style gaming done with the Planescape touch. I'll be whistling "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" all day now. :^)

Whew -- I've got to pick up my game if I'm going to keep in the running with this thread!

Name: Kereon (outsiders' name: Floodworld)

Access: A wandering portal that sites itself in public wells and fountains, usually in the Clerk's Ward. Fortunately, one doesn't get wet: the key is a gangplank laid over the water, which follows one through. The reverse key is the same, but portal back also wanders through various ships.

Prevailing Conditions: The portal comes out in a fleet of ships on a Prime ocean.

Inhabitants: Standard humanoids, with a relatively small number of dwarves.

Description: Several hundred years ago, Kereon suffered an environmental disaster on which the causes are disputed. Some say it was a fiendish or Inner-planar incursion, which leads cultures where this belief holds to be distrustful of planars. Others say it was a local problem caused by a megalomaniac with access to insane magic, or world-shaking battle spells that ran out of control. Whatever the case, the world was flooded, all but the floating ice caps of the poles and a few high mountain tops. All the prophecies agreed that it was to last almost precisely a thousand years. But the flood happened slowly enough -- over the course of a generation -- that the major nations were able to prepare.

With the guidance of the druids and the elves, populations of plants and animals of land, sky and freshwater were tucked away. Some were turned to stone and marked with metal signs so that they could wait out the ocean and be restored to life after the waters receded. Others were put into bubbles in the Ethereal. Many, especially domestic animals, were packed onto the ships.

The ships took forests of ironwood and reams of metal. They are bigger than the largest battlecruisers on most Prime worlds. It is almost impossible to power them; it takes regiments to man the oars strongly enough to turn courses a few degrees when two of them approach each other. Some are anchored with mile-long chains to the bottom, while others drift with the currents of the world-ocean. A village-ship may be the size of a supertanker, a double-thick barge carrying barracks, barns and rain tanks, as well as one-room operations for a smithy, butcher, tailor, and other professions vital to survival. Depending on its home culture, it may tow acres of flats on which dirt has been piled, renewed frequently with manure and rotated regularly with crops of beans and other staples, or greenhouses in which drip irrigation feeds vegetable vines on trellis after trellis. All of the villages have extensive fish trawling operations.

With each passing century, more of the ships are being replaced by iron barges, since even ironwood wears out eventually. Mining operations staffed by water and earth elementals and constructs bring up ores that are slowly laid out on shipyard ships until a new hull is added to the fleets.

Although millions died as the waters rose, millions more were saved, enough that cultures could be preserved with some hope of seeing the flood through. Among humans, galleons, triremes and junks can be seen plying the waters between city-ships, and the rare palace-ships still hold echoes of former glories. The elves and the ents have somehow managed to keep forests alive on floating hills, intensively cultivating wood that sells for ridiculous prices elsewhere. Their crafts include aspidochelons, miles-wide turtles magically bound not to dive except after careful temporary removal of the towns on their backs. Halflings and gnomes in smaller vessels tend to stick with more mobile, single-family fishing operations and the occasional salvage-diving outfit, trading for other goods and such luxuries as flour. White dragons are occasionally seen, apparently having made their homes on the polar ice caps. Even the orcs and the goblins sail the seas, with the home nation of the orcs being a single, massive floating island surrounded by their black-keeled navy. It's widely believed that the orcs' island requires regular sacrifices to stay afloat; they certainly raid for meat animals frequently, and captives with equal regularity. Its approach is always met with fear and the raising of armies.

The dwarves, last to be assailed by the rising floodwaters in their mountain redoubts, elected to seal themselves away, their masonry closing their cavern walls so tightly that not a drop would press through even under the mighty pressures of the world-ocean. Some chose to sleep, weaving powerful spells over whole dwarven cities under the peaks; others, mostly smaller freeholds, looked deep into the dwarven lore and found sources of chthonic magic that would feed them, warm them, and supply air for generations waiting for the waters to recede. Even the communities that slept made sure to erect powerful protections to keep their treasures secure. The mountain fastnesses are the closest of the sunken realms to the surface, and make tempting targets for raiders with magic to dive. Not all of these raiders are thieves, either, since fairly reliable witness has it that in the years after the surface people had floated off on their ships, the dwarves of the mountains with access to diving abilities were not terribly strict with the salvage laws in taking certain choice treasures from among what had been left behind.

Kereon makes an interesting choice of background for a Prime who has moved to the Planes. Solid ground under one's feet might take some getting used to, but kids on Kereon grow up knowing the sea like the backs of their hands, and the place produces a large number of elementalist mages. While it would be tempting for Sigil merchants to try to cash in by selling wood or foodstuffs to the floating vessels on the other side, making that business profitable enough for a settled merchant to get into it requires volume, and unfortunately the nature of the Kereon portal militates against this. Not only does its shifting nature make settled trade routes impossible (and the risk of coming out on the orc island is not inconsiderable), it's not terribly big to bring a load through, and one might end up on a personal vessel that can't take the weight of a load of goods.

Planar scholars might be interested in solving the mystery of what caused the worldwide flood on Kereon, and of course some who hear of the place consider plundering abandoned sites deep in the ocean. They might bear in mind that aquatic races such as the sahuagin and sea hags are quite happy with the current state of affairs -- so much so that persistent stories run through conversation among ship-dwellers that these races are cooking up some evil magic in the depths to cause the Flood to last beyond its appointed time. Worse: a new strain of thought on this matter is that life on Kereon isn't so bad right now, and if it's a huge sacrifice the hags need to keep it this way forever, well, there's a certain island we could all do without. Tracking down the source of this thought is probably impossible, but if it has lodged in any of the ruling heads of the races above, dark times may be confronting the oceans.

Name: Balgo

Access: Wandering. One must exit a window (which may be open) at least three stories up from a building in the Lower Ward, bearing a torch or other fire. That this was a single wandering portal was only discovered recently by the Guvners, who have successfully calculated its path in their Portal Log, and now know which buildings to use. They are keeping it mostly secret, although the building owners know their building is occasionally a portal site and enterprising touts of the Ward are known to be sharing observations on the matter. The other end wanders through a series of wind-sculpted arches in dry gullies on Balgo. Arrival in Sigil is to the outside of the building; travelers should be light-footed.

Prevailing Conditions: Human-normal. Extremely human-normal. The portal lets out in an arid but livable region near a harsher desert. Nonhuman travellers on Balgo suffer -2 to Con until they make a DC 25 Fort save on a 24 hour cycle, at which point the penalty reduces to -1 for the duration of their stay.

Inhabitants: Humans. Only humans.

Description: Although unusual species are a norm of which Sigil is proud, and Primes are well known for being shocked by the variety of beings that populate the city, Balgo really stands out in this respect. For a long time, it was mainly known as a source of Keyless; torch-bearing adventurers would head through the wrong path in the gullies -- often seeking someone else who had just come through, since the dried-up delta had a reputation as a place where people disappeared -- and would promptly find themselves sprawled on the streets of Sigil, usually badly injured and quickly robbed. The portal would have moved on, so no one knew how to get them back, and here they were.

Thing is, the only major intelligent species on Balgo is humans. The only dwarves are pygmies, and there are no elves, halflings, or gnomes, and certainly no orcs, bariaurs, or modrons. There aren't even any angels or demons -- the nation near the portal venerates ancestors and a multitude of local spirits, with an underworld afterlife run by the Father of their People, so their best concept of angels is as particularly helpful spirits. Which is close enough, but they take a while to realize that treants aren't the same thing.

This would mostly make Balgonians a target for mockery, except that there appears to be a good reason there are no other intelligent species there: the planet appears to be allergenic to nonhumans, particularly its extremely rare deposits of mithril. Their mithril weapons strike deep and draw much blood, armor of it gives other species the creeps to touch it, and one known Balgonian shaman's mithril holy symbol is an object of legend in the fiendish community. Balgonian mithril equipment can fetch high prices when the target is right, especially from human chauvinists, although to date this is partially because sources have been extremely rare.

Now that the portal has been codified, more Balgonian mithril equipment has been showing up through Fraternity outlets. The faction stands to make a tidy penny off of it, before other interested groups work out the route and the price drops to the typical market rate for similar magical features. However, mithril is rare on Balgo, and merchants seeking the native stuff are already having difficulty finding it in the nearby tribes, requiring trips to more distant markets.

Name: Zath (local); The Twilight Caverns (Sigilian casual)

Access: The pilings beneath a stone dock in the Ditch lead to a cave in one of the monolithic columns that hold up Zath's land plates, about halfway out on the radius of the warm middle plate.

Prevailing Conditions: Frequently dark or dimly lit, but with occasional sun; most parts have a disk of land several miles above. Otherwise human-normal in most parts, except for two small divine and infernal realms, detailed below.

Inhabitants: In addition to the usual humanoids and Prime animals, there is a substantial population of avariels and bat-people here. Dire bats are also a more common presence. Creatures of dawn, dusk and twilight are more easily found here than elsewhere.

Description: Zath consists of multiple plates of stone 1-3 miles thick, held apart by fat pillars about 10 miles wide and 100 miles tall. The middle plate is the widest, at about 700 miles in radius and with the most pillars (a middle ring of 6 and an outer ring of 12), plus the enormous Spindle that winds its way through the middle of the world. Higher and lower plates decrease in size, so they have radii that give the whole collection the outer profile of a sphere. Gravity is pointed downward on all plates. The total land area would be similar to that of a normal Prime, though oceans, rivers and other water features take up about half. Whatever creator deity made the place was wise enough that while waterfalls occur from upper levels (mist and cloud by the time the affect the weather below), the middle and lower levels are bounded by mountain ranges and do not usually lose moisture this way, but only through evaporation. The entire crystal sphere is air-filled, and is not large.

The sun travels on a tilted elliptic orbit around Zath, shining between the plates. The zenith of the tilt rotates around the plates once a year, giving seasons. When it is visible between two plates, the light ranges from dawn to mid-afternoon. Areas very near the edge of a plate get more light, with light more frequently day strength; on the upper plates, a ring around the outer edge has no level above it and gets many hours of direct sunlight compared to the rest of the plate. However, plates farther above and below get fewer hours exposed to the sun at all. The net result is that the centers of plates are cool and often dim, outer edges are warmer and drier, and upper and lower plates are colder in general, with the highest and lowest two or three plates ice-bound due to being in darkness for most of the day. Plates below the middle are colder than those above, and can sometimes be completely shaded, whereas the middle and higher plates get at most a deep dusk, deepest when the sun peaks on the other side of the world (the local winter).

There are four wandering stars near the crystal sphere, which the inhabitants have associated with various gods according to their cultures; the usual pantheons are known on the Prime. The planets possess large elemental vortices which occasionally open to refresh the elemental composition of the ecology inside the sphere (mostly air and water); there is a portal to Vacuum at the bottom of the sphere which collects anything that falls off of Zath. There is also a silvery moon, which travels on a circumpolar orbit that rotates once per month.

The pillars are rugged enough to be climbed, although the trip is long. By dint of many years of labor and spells, each neighboring pair of disks has at least one pillar between them with a Long Stair cut into them. These are populated with occasional inns with high prices (priests or magic items to create food and water are expensive) where travelers' truces are strictly respected, and those who make trouble find a swift trip out an airhole back to the ground. There is little room for shipping of any but small items, and teleportation between disks is welcomed by the wealthy of the various nations. Tireless genie ferries and magic carpet services are available near the edges, and some of the gnome nations have started to work out the kinks of balloon travel.

The frequent twilight and shade make Zath hospitable to crepuscular creatures. In particular, the undersides of the disks are home to tangles of all sorts of vine and bush, with perches for bird and beast, but especially for a race of bat-people. Little known elsewhere on the planes (and often taken for tieflings when they do show up in Sigil), bat-folk are actually a quite nice bunch, if you're not a vegetarian. They are obligate carnivores, and usually hunt birds, although other creatures will do. These days they mostly practice the keeping of various poultry (who are light, and can, after all, avoid dying in case they fall). Their settlements, with houses made of woven vine and thatch, hang among the jungle clinging to the undersides of the disks. (They themselves do, indeed, sleep hanging upside down.)

As nations go, the largest and most prosperous are on the middle disk, which has the most room and the best growing climate. Humans have taken over most of the open spaces and founded the current major nations there, of which there are three, with smaller kingdoms and island nations scattered about. Halfling and gnome nomads and settlements are common. The disk immediately below the middle is mostly populated by dwarves and gnomes, the disk immediately above mostly by elves and treants. There are some substantial human presences on both.

Further up the land is getting colder, and the next two disks are rugged, wild places not strongly held by any nation. Scattered settlements dominated by any race tend to cluster around resources like mines of gold or mithril. Even further up the land is so cold as to be almost useless for standard mortal settlement. These disks are completely controlled by frost giants, who resent that the little folk below them have taken the largest disks -- shouldn't it be the other way around? -- and so they make frequent war excursions down the Spindle, where their disks' road is. Fortunately, such a chokepoint tends to make those invasions ineffective, although the independent-minded scrabblers who make their living on the frosty Middle Upper tend to suffer a bit too long before calling in help from the folk below. Below the dwarves' disk is the home of the frostland orcs, who are also happy to stage raids on the warmer lands above. Unlike other worlds, the orcs also claim to be protecting the other realms from even more terrible lands below, and it's true that human and dwarven historians have records of the orcs fighting battles against terrible hordes of shadowy invaders from the smaller, coldest disks farther down.

The polar disks, just a few dozen miles across, are the home of two groups of ascended mortals: heroes, villains and adventurers who have shaped Zath's history. Although the sun rarely shines on either, the ends of the Spindle shine with their own light -- bright above, and sullen red on the bottom -- and the divine powers of the inhabitants keep the realm as warm as they please. The immortals are fairly interventionist, and they are happy to take devoted, worthy souls that are willing to make an afterlife questing on the Prime Material, for good or evil. Each hero or villain has a method of reviving petitioners that fall in battle on Zath -- the Diabolich ties his former clients' souls to his Immaterial Phylactery, while the Archer That Hunted Death has the lightning reflexes to summon his servants back home an instant before the fatal stroke falls.

-----

About 1 in 6 frostland orcs has the cold subtype, and these tend to be the leaders and warriors of their people.

Zathan Bat-People: thin-boned, light creatures, these monstrous humanoids can fly on their wings, but their hands are part of their wings, so they must typically come to rest in order to use their thumbs. However, when doing so, they are as dextrous as normal human hands. Arcane bat-person casters study how to modify the normal gestures for use on the wing, and only a spell new to the campaign might call for a Spellcraft roll to see if they can adapt it properly.

HD: 1d8. A Zathan bat-person who takes PC classes replaces his racial 1d8 with the normal hit die for his class.

Attributes: Str -2, Dex +6, Con -2, Int +0, Wis +0, Cha +0
Favored class: Rogue

Special Qualities: +6 racial bonus on Listen checks; Blindsight (Ex) (lost if bat-person is deafened, only operates in air, must be triggered to be used); low-light vision; ultrasonic hearing (bat-people may use this frequency range to communicate); fly 30 feet (Average maneuverability; may not operate equipment with hands while flying); bite attack 1d4; if unshod, bat-people possess claws that can attack for 1d4 lethal piercing damage and can grip well enough to give a +2 racial Climb bonus.

Weapon Proficiency: Zathan bat-people have a number of claw-augmenting weapons which their fighters, monks and rangers are proficient with, and which other races would treat as exotic (and probably impossible to use, unless one has claws).

LA: +2

Now that right there is an excellent first post. Clear flavor, well executed. A good world to send a group with a mind to let blades do the talking for a little while.

Welcome to the boards, CatDoom!

The following enormous list of canonical primes was assembled by Ripvanwormer in response to a request in another thread, and is included here for ease of location by searchers. He mentioned that his primary source was Paul Westermayer's Guide to the Spheres. Names of worlds are followed by their canonical sources, and occasionally a line or two of description.

Argus, Draenor and Xoroth were added as having been mentioned by Bari as showing up in the Warcraft RPG material.
