-==== The Infero (Anubis) ====+===== The Infero (Anubis) =====
 A massive, gently-sloping mountain with perpetually gray skies and dark rivers, the Infero is [[gods:anubis|Anubis]]' world. Uniquely among the Celestial Planes, Anubis operates this world as a sort of catch-all pit stop; nearly every mortal soul arrives at the Infero after death, collected and guided by Anubian [[lore:races:supernatural#celestial_origin|celestial beings.]] A massive, gently-sloping mountain with perpetually gray skies and dark rivers, the Infero is [[gods:anubis|Anubis]]' world.

 Eventually, every soul will come before Anubis at the Hall of Finality. The only exception to this is Jaernian [[lore:backgrounds:nomad|nomads,]] who go to the [[settings:planes:kurago|Kurago]] after death. From the Infero, souls may be sent to an afterlife on a celestial plane, allowed to visit their loved ones on earth, or travel the planes as a spirit. Some also choose to reincarnate onto the Material Plane. Perhaps out of respect, or perhaps out of fear, we have no records of adventurers visiting this plane. Eventually, every soul will come before Anubis at the Hall of Finality.

-==== Meadows of Vitania (Isis) ====+===== Meadows of Vitania (Isis) =====
 Created by [[gods:isis|Isis]], this heavenly realm is the home of not only Isisite priests, but any mortal soul judged by Anubis to be pure of heart. Full of vast open fields of wildflowers and dotted with cozy buildings and small towns, Isis has ensured that her home is also a welcoming home for good people and planar travelers. Though express permission from Isis herself is still required to enter and exit Vitania, she is more than likely to grant passage to most. This has caused some problems in the past, allegedly, but Vitania is quick to rebuild after any missteps. The Meadows have a few different areas: Created by [[gods:isis|Isis]], this heavenly realm is the home of not only Isisite priests, but any mortal soul judged by Anubis to be pure of heart.

Line 23: Line 23:
 This body of "water" laps gently at the shores of the Verdance. Fittingly named, this sea appears like a mass of melted gold - though it feels just like water to the touch. Rumor has it that a single touch of the Golden Sea will restore all of one's health and youth. Guided by celestials of Isis, some souls have been seen leaping into the Sea, never to return. Some think that the Sea provides a path to reincarnation onto the material plane, while others believe that this act dissolves one's being into the pure life energy that the Golden Sea is composed of. This body of "water" laps gently at the shores of the Verdance.

 [[gods:osiris|Osiris]] has manifested no less than three separate celestial planes, each with a specific purpose. She strictly forbids travel in and out of them, with those who visit staying forever - barring the incredibly rare extenuating circumstance. Each of her planes are lush, natural locales with few to no signs of mortal inhabitance. [[gods:osiris|Osiris]] has manifested no less than three separate celestial planes, each with a specific purpose.

 Home of the souls of sentient plants and certain plantfolk, and takes the form of a pristine, untouched wilderness. Insects flit between flowers as big as dinner plates, and tangles of vines and leaves form natural bridges across crystal-clear, burbling links. Some visitors to Arcadia exist, most often the souls of Osirisites who have curried their deity's favor and been granted the ability to visit and take in these lovely sights. Home of the souls of sentient plants and certain plantfolk, and takes the form of a pristine, untouched wilderness.

-The light-bearer, and god of order, [[gods:ra|Ra]]'s divine realm, while it is referred to collectively as the Radiant Citadel, is in truth 3 fully separate divine realms each with a clear purpose and reason. The commonality with all 3 realms is that they conform to Ra’s true order, a place where all beings fulfill a divinely appointed purpose.+[[gods:ra|Ra]]'s divine realm, while it is referred to collectively as the Radiant Citadel, is in truth 3 fully separate divine realms each with a clear purpose and reason.

Line 50: Line 50:
 The true and primary divine plane of Ra where the full power of Light-Given-Sentience coalesces into the God-Star, the purest manifestation of Order in existence. The God-Star acts as the eternal sun hanging overhead. Much of the land is a barren waste devoid of all moisture and life. The will of this realm is to annihilate all chaos within it, and all forms of life are sources of chaos. The functions of this are perfectly predictable, with clear purpose in this design. Within this realm, each of the avatars of Ra sit upon their thrones as they continue to orchestrate his true order. The true and primary divine plane of Ra where the full power of Light-Given-Sentience coalesces into the God-Star, the purest manifestation of Order in existence.

-==== The Pale Lands (Rudri) ====+===== The Pale Lands (Rudri) =====
 The [[gods:rudri|god of chaos]] has also created three worlds of their own, each serving a specific purpose for the continued existence and power of the Dweller in Darkness. Mortals have only ever visited one, which appears to be a dreary home of pain and chaos, inhabited by the souls of Rudrite devotees who have become things truly monstrous. The [[gods:rudri|god of chaos]] has also created three worlds of their own, each serving a specific purpose for the continued existence and power of the Dweller in Darkness.

 A world beyond mortal comprehension. It takes the form of a planet-sized orb of energy that is buried deep within the Duhebris, dotted with twelve continents of brilliant golden crystal. The golden continents, the Merfakta, are crystallized notions which it has polished to perfect understanding and regurgitated as Rudri's "Golden Rules" or "Golden Chains" - when a new Rudri is made, they know the Dusphara and the Dusphara knows them. It assigns these twelve Merfakta to the new god to keep it restrained and to keep both of them alive. Some speculate that these "Golden Chains" serve to keep Rudri eternally bound within the godpact, passively entropic and mostly humanoid. A world beyond mortal comprehension.

-==== Interian Battlefields (Mishra) ====+===== Interian Battlefields (Mishra) =====
 This plane is a landscape that resembles a massive city on a pleasant autumn day, with architecture constantly changing as it's rebuilt and destroyed. Oddly enough, [[gods:mishra|Mishra]] herself is never seen on this plane - barring extraordinary circumstances when an event on the plane warrants her attention. This plane is a landscape that resembles a massive city on a pleasant autumn day, with architecture constantly changing as it's rebuilt and destroyed.

Line 69: Line 69:
 It's possible to map and categorize the most populated parts of this plane, but this map would only be accurate for a few days before some major part would crop up, and another district would be blown to bits. Due to Mishra's eye falling far from this plane most times, it isn't particularly hard for someone to access the Interian Battlefields - but not much lasts here, no matter how valuable it might be, and one runs the risk of being blown to bits before managing to find anything important. It's possible to map and categorize the most populated parts of this plane, but this map would only be accurate for a few days before some major part would crop up, and another district would be blown to bits.

-==== Library of Babel (Tarus) ====+===== Library of Babel (Tarus) =====
 Maintained by [[gods:tarus|Tarus]], the Library is the archive for every individual’s knowledge, and each location can be put in one of three categories. It is thought that unfortunate creatures hit by the //Babel// spell are flung through here, their minds overloaded and crushed by the weight of all knowledge in existence. Maintained by [[gods:tarus|Tarus]], the Library is the archive for every individual’s knowledge, and each location can be put in one of three categories.
