Lotrimin Crux

Author's Note. If this section seems empty, that's because it is! Most of the game-worthy content you'll find in these pages is on the relatively distant, backwater plane of Waking Materia, on a distant cluster in the Sulatian Eighth. However we hope to deepen the lore of these central planes in the near future. Please look forward to it.

The Lotrimin Crux is a common term for the cluster of ten planes at the centre of the expansive Black Sun Empire, named for the Black Sun's capital plane, Lotrim. These ten worlds are often called cruxplanes or hubplanes. They are far and away the most populous planes in the known universe. The humanoid-settled planar region around the Crux is sometimes called the Greater Lotrimin Crux Region or GLCR.

Sometimes called the Black Web (especially by worshippers of the Rebel Gods and other enemies of the Dynasty), the inner cluster would represent the administrative, military and resource core of the interplanar Black Sun Dynasty for the entirety of its reign.

All of the innermost Cruxplanes have Full planar integration scores, meaning the vast majority of their residents are aware of other settled planes, Voidwalking, et cetera. Most of the planes in the inner GLCR have High to Full integration scores.

In terms of metaphysics, there is nothing particularly special about the Crux or the planes therein; it is simply most densely populated group of planes in the known universe and has arrived there through normal paths of history.

The Cruxplanes

At the centre of the Crux are twin planes Lotrim and Achros, which are surrounded by an irregular "oval" of eight planes. Surrounding Lotrim are:

• Arboria
• Kalmor
• Dohr
• Noctis

Surrounding Achros are:

• Cephera
• Yevena
• Sulat
• Pitravat

Planar Tiers

Planes are sometimes ranked by tiers of separation from the inner Crux. Lotrim and Achros are considered 0th Tier planes; the surrounding eight Cruxplanes are 1st Tier. Planes directly neighbouring the eight Cruxplanes are 2nd Tier, and so forth.

Examples

Waking Materia is a 5th Tier plane, as the most direct path from the Crux is to travel from Lotrim to Sulat (1) to Vangelis (2) to CM4715 (3) to SR3880 (4) to Waking Materia (5).

Rozsa is a 3rd Tier plane, as the most direct path is from Achros to Noctis (1) to FE7200 (2) to Rozsa (3).
