Desh’Veroi

DESH’VEROI, LAND OF DEMONS

The astral sea ends at primordial world comprised of a multitude of landscapes slowly being fused together and transformed. A scorched forested hillside is squeezed between an industrial-looking city block with round doors and a trash dumpsite complete with Earth-like bulldozers. The edges between the sections bubble up a grey ooze that hisses with heat as they continue to collide. From the hillside there are thousands of landmasses in a chaotic collection within the metaplane.
The denizens of this patchwork plain have little natural physical form. They are thick incorporeal vapors that emanate from the grey ooze and float along the landscape. There are three of these types of creatures: one type infuses deceased astral creature flesh to become corporeal and animate the remains; the second can infuse machinery and puppet the mechanical monster; the third, more subtle, can infuse magical items and manipulate the powers within. These were called the shedim, gremlins, and imps—demons with no form of their own, so they steal what they can. They are pathetic whispers of life without substance. The whole land itself is pieces of other metaplanes ripped from their existence and added here by the colossal nephilum, whose size and form I can only imagine.
Far beyond the grey sea are stark obsidian-and-onyx mountains; assumed to be the original or final look of the Desh’Veroi. Inhabiting the mountains are the winged ghasts, whose deathly silence comes from the fact that they have no faces, only a series of ridged horns. They hunt whatever they can in the valleys below using unnatural senses.
Even the name, Desh’Veroi, is an ill-fitting amalgamation of Latin and Hindi, roughly translating to "The True Land" or "The Land of Truth." Whatever the denizens think that conveys, they aren't on the best of terms to ask.
