Bal

Bal is a world full of life. Made up of four small continents and archipelagos, Bal's features are marked by vast oceans, making travel between land masses nearly impossible for most non-magical creatures. The world is rich in ancient magic, and there are a small number of direct, albeit limited-access, portals for planar travel. While there are many more connecting portals throughout the material plane, the locations are only known among the fey creatures and privileged warlocks.   While most resident cultures on Bal have embraced and thrived through magic, there are some now who would rather avoid it, and even fear magic. Consequently, there are some anti-magic fields scattered throughout the land. The lush forests, on the other hand, are known for patches of wild magic, where an excess of magical events have bent the fabric of the world just enough to create an element of chaos.   Each continent is inhabited with a unique array of races and cultures, but very few are aware or concerned about the other continents on Bal. Still a relatively young world, Bal as a whole is only now entering into the age of communication and recorded history. Travelers in the multiverse, however, are very aware and interested in the details of the planet. It is here, and in the realms of the gods, that much of the intrigue is spawned.   While the gods do not directly involve themselves in the drama of the material plane, there is a constant struggle between balance and power. Each continent is revered as a stronghold for one of the gods.
