Mount Olympus

The single sacred mountain of Mount Olympus rises from a shining Silver Sea to heights barely visible and utterly incomprehensible, with seven plateaus marking its seven heavenly layers. The plane is the model of justice and order, of celestial grace and endless mercy, where angels and champions of good guard against incursions of evil. It is one of the few places on the planes where travelers can let down their guard. Its inhabitants strive constantly to be as righteous as possible. Countless creatures aim to reach the highest and most sublime peak of the mountain, but only the purest souls can. Gazing toward that peak fills even the most jaded of travelers with awe.

Geography

As the name implies, there are seven layers within the Seven Heavens of Mount Olympus. The layers are distinct though they do share general features, such as a mountainous landscape with towering peaks, idyllic valleys, and winding rivers. Each of the layers is referred to by their name as well as a more general reference; for example, Lunia is the name of the first layer, but it is also referred to as the Silver Heaven, with Mercuria the second layer also known as the Golden Heaven. The more evocative titles give a good overview of the landscape properties.
Seven layers:

• Lunia, the first heaven, the Silver heaven.
• Mercuria, the second heaven, the Golden heaven.
• Venya, the third heaven, the Pearly heaven.
• Solania, the fourth heaven, the Crystal heaven.
• Mertion, the fifth heaven, the Platinum heaven.
• Jovar, the sixth heaven, the Glittering heaven.
• Chronias, the seventh heaven, the Illuminated heaven.

Getting There

Access to Mount Olympus is restricted from outside the plane to the first layer, Lunia, and most often on the shores of the Silver Sea. Portals and gates often appear as two-dimensional silver disks, glowing with a soft radiance, and they are found in areas that have been consecrated by holy powers. Ancient temples to lawful good deities, and monasteries that adhere to the highest moral code can all potentially hold latent portals or gates to the Seven Heavens.
Another way to get to the plane is to die, Lawful good souls are brought to mount Olympus to be reincarnated as Achron.

Traveling Around

There is little in the way of impediment to travel on the individual layers of Mount Olympus, with easy well-worn paths crisscrossing the mountains, valleys, and other natural wonders. The Silver Sea is a sailor’s dream, with few waves and a gentle but steady breeze that fills sails with great ease. The inhabitants of each layer are friendly to non-hostile outsiders and are usually willing to lend a hand or offer guidance on a particular issue or destination.
Moving between the layers, however, is not as straightforward. To cross from a lower layer to a higher layer, a traveler must find a suitable path and then complete the Trial of Enlightenment. Finding the path is as simple as having the right desire while traveling – Mount Olympus has a way of discouraging travel from those that wish to inflict harm or steal for selfish reasons by twisting the path away from the next layer. Those that have the right desire still must complete the Trial of Enlightenment, a process that grows more difficult the closer a traveler gets to the seventh layer, Chronias.

Creatures & Denizens

Powerful & Mighty

The Seven Heavens of Mount Olympus are home to some of the most powerful forces for righteousness and justice in all the multiverse. Many lawful gods dwelve on this mountains, most keep to their territory and maintain their individual realms from outside forces. Travelers with good in their hearts can usually treat with these forces in welcoming settings.

Denizens

The natural inhabitants of Mount Olympus are almost universally good-aligned creatures that adhere to one of the core tenets of the plane. Archons are the best example, being the celestials associated with the Seven Heavens, but the angels serving the gods residing int mount Olympus are also notable extensions of their respective realms.

Features

Blessed Beneficence

In contrast to the dissonance experienced by evil creatures here, good creatures are literally blessed by the pervasive beneficence of the plane. Creatures of good alignment gain the benefit of the bless spell as long as they remain on the plane. In addition, finishing a long rest on the plane grants a good creature the benefit of a lesser restoration spell.
