Beastlands

The Wilderness of the Beastlands, also known as the Happy Hunting Grounds, was the Outer Planes representing alignments between neutral good and chaotic good.

The beast within finds expression without here on the Beastlands.

— Wanderer of the Planes

The name Happy Hunting Grounds was given to this plane by those that first scried it, assuming the abundant and varied game and wildlife would be a sportsman's paradise. But the native inhabitants of this plane were all capable of speech and comparable to humans in range of intelligence. All natural creatures and their giant versions from the Material Plane, including mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and invertebrates, excluding enchanted creatures and monsters, were represented here, and they called their home the Beastlands.

Layers

The Beastlands had three layers, all heavily forested with normal and giant trees, plants, moss, and fungi. A single sun was present in between the layers causing each layer to have a single time of day that never varied. Weather was regionally distributed and provided all manner of conditions for the habitats of all creatures. Weather in one region did not affect adjacent regions, so an arid desert could exist next to a snowy winter region for example.

Krigala - Selera's Empire

Krigala was a heavily forested layer with trees of all sorts of varieties. The main way in which Krigala differed from the other two layers was its sky. It was perpetually noon in Krigala, with the bright sun directly overhead and never moving. The sun appeared to be at its highest point in the sky no matter how far one might travel.

Brux

The second layer of the Beastlands was constantly in dusk or dawn due to two suns on opposite ends of the horizon, hovering there and turning the sky a reddish hue. The landscape of Brux was similar to that found in Krigala.

Karasuthra

The bottommost layer was the land of starlight. Above any clouds or fog that might exist in a region was a clear night sky full of wandering stars. The stars moved randomly such that all attempts to map them into constellations were unsuccessful.

Inhabitants

In addition to the myriad species from the animal kingdom were the usual Upper plane sentient creatures. Another form of life unique to the Beastlands were the mortai, also known as the "faces in the clouds". They appeared as cumulus clouds with large humanoid faces and could communicate with anyone if they so wished.
