Upper Planes
Overview
The outer planes aligned with the forces of good are known as the Upper Planes. This can vary from those who welcome good in all its forms, to those concerned with the capacity for good within the forces of law and chaos. Inhabited by the Cadences and several Axioms, the souls of those gods' devout arrive here in death. Oceanus, a sea whose surface flows like a river, connects each of these planes and allows for quick, albeit tumultuous travel.Arborea, the Avalonian Glades. "Let your heart be a compass. If it yearns to hear enthralling melodies, it will guide you to them." Alignment: Chaotic Good. A realm of magical beauty and vibrant emotions, where freedom, honesty, and artistry are paramount.
Flourishing forests, meadows, valleys and fields - surrounded by a gentle, shallow sea with chalky sand.
Presided over by the Archeart - Eladrin call the glades home, along with many souls of Fey ancestry.
Arcadia, the Peaceable Kingdoms. "Build, build, and build again. Perfection can only be reached from atop that which was built before." Alignment: Lawful Neutral-Good. This plane is one of cultivated symmetry and regimentation, where everything is kept in its ideal place.
Metallic gardens, pyramidal mountains, and geometric cities - cyclically illuminated by a clockwork orb.
Home to the Erathis and Hollyphants, mortal artificers who seek perfection petition Arcadia in death.
Bytopia, the Twin Paradises. "Seek abundance on one layer, and make something useful of it on the other. Work-life balance!" Alignment: Lawful-Neutral Good. Containing both virtuousness and industriousness - a utopia for those who find purpose in contribution.
Dual-layers of opposing gravity, of mild forests and harsh mountains, with each acting as the other's sky.
Bytopia values innovation and endurance in inventors and labourers alike, from its souls, to its Planetars.
Beastlands, the Wilderness. "It isn't often we get two-legs. Learn to walk the world as we do. You may then call these forests home." Alignment: Chaotic-Neutral Good. Unfettered by civilisation, a haven where those simply content to exist can find harmony with nature.
Three layers of boundless wildlands, of day, twilight, and night - though free from the struggle of survival.
Each is inhabited by sentient fauna and giant flora, with mortal spirits guiding both weather and rivers.
Elysium, the Blessed Fields. "Come, let the rivers wash away the worries of your mortal life - your family has been waiting for you." Alignment: Neutral Good. Concerned with neither order or chaos, rather good in all its forms, the Fields are the truest paradise.
Source of the Oceanus River; the four layers of forests, mountains, wetlands, and seas sit on its banks.
Pelor, and the mythical Phoenixes call Elysium home, along with any good mortal souls who petition it.
Mount Celestia, the Seven Heavens. "Your path is honest, but misguided. Our judgement is to give you a chance to make things right." Alignment: Lawful Good. A paragon of justice, measured with mercy, for those who wish to bring good by doing what is right.
Seven spiralling layers rise from a sea in a golden-silver mountain, transitioning from night to day.
Bahamut and Moradin inhabit different layers, with Ki-Rin alongside celestial and mortal Archons.
Ysgard, the Heroic Domains. "Every moment, every aeon, we fight. We fight that we might make of all the universe, a paradise." Alignment: Chaotic Neutral-Good. Change is inevitable here, and it is through fighting for what is good that change is for the better.
Three rock-glacier-rivers layers constantly shift, reforming seas, mountains, lava, and caverns alike.
The Stormlord and Sehanine reside in Ysgard, with good-aligned Giants and free-fighting spirits.
