Lower Shenzala (shen-ZAH-la)

Written by orphidor

Lower Shenzala is a place of persistent dawn. It's the realm of the Deities who are more aligned with chaos and light.

Geography

Like its counterpart, Higher Shenzala, this Realm is mostly comprised of empty space. Unlike Higher Shenzala, Lower Shenzala is in a state of eternal three-quarters brightness. The only solid ground in this Realm is created through intense concentration by the Deities, forming islands of material that float unmoored through the vast emptiness.

Climate

The climate here varies depending on the desires of the Deities. Each Deity controls the weather of their area of influence, creating rain, snow, or fog on a whim.

Fauna & Flora

Like the climate and the floating landmasses, the flora and fauna of Lower Shenzala are up to the determinations of the Deities. Through focus and meditation, the Deities are able to create new animals, flowers, and trees, many of which couldn't exist in the other Realms because of their ethereal or bizarre natures.
The dead behemoths used to make their home here, judging from the floating bones they left behind. What they ate and how they lived in the sheer emptiness of this Realm is unknown. The Deities often collect the bones and use them in their floating domains.
