Godthrone Continent
A mythical landmass blessed by the gods:
The Godthrone Continent is a massive landmass, completely detached from the rest of the world, governed by bizarre rules and unique physics. Each region within the continent is distinct, with no two areas alike. The connection between the planes can best be described as a giant wheel, with the Material Plane resting at its center. As one ventures further from the center, they encounter planes that embody the fundamental aspects of the physical world.
Between Plains
Lore of Between Plains
Ash – Ice – Magma – Ooze
The Between Plains are realms of transition, where the elements merge, collide, and struggle for dominance. These are unstable and volatile zones, caught between the foundational forces of the Inner Planes. Here, the elements blur into strange and chaotic landscapes, each embodying the tension and fusion of two opposing forces.
Ash Plain
Where Fire and Air Converge
The Ash Plain is a desolate wasteland, a vast expanse of ashen skies and smoldering ruins. Volcanic eruptions spew clouds of choking ash into the air, which settles in dunes across a cracked, barren landscape. Fiery embers drift like snow, lighting the dim expanse with an eerie, flickering glow. The air is hot and dry, suffocating for those unprepared.
Inhabitants of the Ash Plain include:
- inder Spirits: Elementals that hover as fiery shadows, feeding on the heat of the land.
- Ashborn Wraiths: Ghostly beings that rise from the scorched ground, remnants of those consumed by fire.
Ooze Plain
Where Water and Earth Blend
The Ooze Plain is a murky, swamp-like expanse of sludge and mire. The ground is soft and treacherous, sucking in anything that lingers too long. Pools of strange, bubbling liquid dot the landscape, and the air carries a faint, acrid tang. This realm is alive with movement, as oozes and slimes of all kinds shift and flow across the land.
Inhabitants of the Ooze Plain include:
- Gelatinous Horrors: Massive, semi-transparent oozes that engulf anything in their path.
- Mud Elementals: Lumpy, shapeshifting beings that drag intruders into the mire.
The Role of the Between Plains
The Between Plains act as bridges between the core elements of the Inner Planes. They are places of flux and experimentation, where the natural laws of the pure elemental planes bend and intertwine. The volatile nature of these realms makes them dangerous but also uniquely rewarding for those brave enough to explore.
Connections to the Material Plane
The Between Plains influence the Material Plane subtly, manifesting as volcanic eruptions (Magma), polar vortices (Ice), sinkholes (Ooze), or choking wildfires (Ash). Mages and alchemists often seek these planes to harness their chaotic energy, though such efforts frequently result in disaster.
These transitional realms are not just pathways—they are challenges, crucibles of elemental power where only the strong and adaptable survive. Those who master their chaotic forces gain access to potent magic, new materials, and unparalleled understanding of the elements' interplay.
