Gameplay
Haven is at the center of a soft spot between our world and others, the
known other worlds are listed below.
The Other
Also known as the realm of the Fae. This is the world from which magic
flows strongest and the one that is naturally closest to ours. It is a world
of strange forests and sweeping planes, filled with monsters, bands of
wildlings and the fabled Golden City. The Golden City is where the Fae
normally live, from a distance it is incomparably beautiful, shimmering
like a golden diamond day or night. But nobody who has ventured close to it has ever returned.
The Godrealm
This is the place where the gods reside; it is also supposedly filled with
monsters and wondrous things. No sane person would ever use gate magic to
access this place, as the Gods often do not take kindly to such things and
do not need bridges to travel to other planes themselves.
Hell
Hell used to be a world not unlike our own, but a long time ago a vicious
war broke out between two groups of powerful sorcerers, and they turned to
fleshforming to create living weapons to send to the battlefield. Creatures
with no purpose but to kill, destroy and cause suffering. As the war
progressed these creatures became more and more deadly until the sorcerers
created creatures capable of creating even better creatures. From this
point it wasn't long before the entire world was overrun by these living
weapons, now usually called demons. Magic users from all other planes
sealed the doors between their worlds and hell, trapping them inside. But
they are always there, and always looking for a way to cross over and carry
out their only goal, to bring death, destruction and misery.
The Void
This is a place that even the forces of hell fear. The void is nothingness,
a huge black vacuum. Far from lifeless however it is home to a myriad of
mammoth Cthulian nightmares that float through the darkness and wait for
millions of years in the void, always hungry. The creatures of the void
have no known disciples on earth and nobody not entirely genocidal would
ever open a door there, the entire world could be sucked through like
opening a black hole or one of the creatures could come through and set
about devouring our universe as they did their own.
The Wilds
The Wilds is a world not unlike how ours must have been a few million years
ago, it is also the home of the wildlings, although they are often found in
the Other as well far more exist in the wilds. The Wildlings are humans
who live in the Wilds, depending on the location they vary in sophistication
from spear-wielding tribesmen to castle building kings. The Wilds is also
home to amazing earth-like creatures, both animals that exist today as well
as animals that did exist or present ones grown to a huge size. It is a
place with wolves the size of houses, mammoths and even dinosaurs.
The Elemental Planes
These are worlds that are made entirely of a particular element, this is a
water plane, a fire plane, a lightning plane and so on. Far from lifeless
however these planes are filled with creatures made entirely from those
elements, some primitive but some remarkably sophisticated and intelligent.
