Memora

In the grand tapestry of the multiverse, there exists a realm of serene beauty and unyielding goodness - Memora, the Terraced Gardens of the Immortals. This plane, also known as the Deva Realm, is a celestial haven where the virtuous find their eternal rest, and the Immortals walk amidst the splendor of divine creation.
Memora is a realm of nine terraces, each a vast and resplendent garden, ascending in grandeur and tranquility. Each terrace, named after a precious gem or material, is a testament to the harmonious blend of nature and divine architecture. From the lush greenery of the Emerald Expanse to the tranquil waters of the Sapphire Serenity, each terrace is a paradise unto itself, culminating in the Heaven of Jade Totality and The Golden Tower of Heaven.
Inhabiting these divine terraces are celestial beings of pure goodness - devas, angels, and the souls of the virtuous dead. Each terrace is also home to various deities, their divine realms nestled amidst the celestial flora, a beacon of their ideals of lawful good.
Traveling in Memora is a journey of spiritual growth and enlightenment. The plane itself, inherently lawful and good, guides the souls through their journey, from the first terrace to the Golden Tower of Heaven. Each terrace presents its own lessons and trials, and only by overcoming these can a soul ascend to the next terrace. The ultimate goal is to reach the Golden Tower of Heaven, where it is said that souls become one with the plane itself.
Yet, for all its tranquility and beauty, Memora is not without its challenges. The plane resists spells and abilities of chaotic or evil nature, and those of such alignment may find themselves repelled by the plane. But for those of good heart and strong will, Memora offers a journey like no other - a journey of self-discovery, spiritual growth, and eternal peace.
So, whether you are a curious player seeking a celestial adventure or a lore-hungry Dungeon Master crafting a divine narrative, Memora awaits. It is a realm of endless possibilities, a testament to the power of goodness, and a beacon of hope in the vast multiverse.
