The Shrouded Lands

Written by Pookas Kreations

This land is filled with fog or mist, it is in perpetual gloom. A sheet of fog and low-lying clouds have enveloped this region for as long as any fey can recall. Only those with a very good reason enter this area.

Certain areas are considered “safe”, for training purposes or when mages need to draw on the magic encompassed here. This area is neutral ground and is for everyone's use. The Mists are also dangerous to the untrained or one without a strong will. If you walk into it without a clear destination, you might wander for years. Wander with fear in your heart and the Mist will provide the monsters you think of and devour you.

Those with the will can create almost anything they want. The mist responds to the will of the mage, whether he means to or not. Long ago Underhill was “carved” out of the unformed lands. Those of strong will can take and hold large swaths of land and make it into what they want. 

Geography

The Shrouded Lands is close to various other planes including the Faewild, elemental chaos, and twilight web. It is also coexistent with the shadowlands. There are many entrances from here to those mentioned previously as well as being able to step into a shadow or weak spot in various of these borderlands. 

It is mostly a featureless plain but easily morphs into what is being imagined by the traveler. 

Ecosystem

There is no visible sun, only a perpetual twilight. The wind current seems to shift the mist around but in no identifiable pattern. There is little water as nothing here requires either food or water, just energy in various forms.

Ecosystem Cycles

When Akadi, Goddess of Air was thrown down to Aquatica, the Shrouded lands changed as she no longer had influence over this pocket dimension. Also with the advent of the Chaos War the mist was corrupted with the influx of wild magic that bled through cracks in the planes.

Localized Phenomena

• The Mist moves even with no wind. 
• Science doesn't work here (except for the Resonator).
• limited psionics
• magic is enhanced, especially the schools of transmutation, alteration, and shadow.

Fauna & Flora

No plant life lives here, most life is creatures of shadow or spirit, motes, and various fae. of course, any creatures that wander in or are created and left that survive their surroundings.

Natural Resources

The only resources that can be collected from here are magical energy, and of course, trapping any of its denizens.

History

This is Akadi's playground/workshop, it is where she created most of her later children. She built the Resonator with the help of her children to attract lost souls.
