Elemental Plane of Earth — The Deep Foundation

The Elemental Plane of Earth is the world beneath worlds: stone before horizon, pressure with memory, and vaults vast enough to bury kingdoms in the dark.

• Plane Type: Inner Plane; Elemental Plane
• Moral Gravity: True Neutral
• Common Names: The Plane of Earth, the Deep Foundation, the Eternal Delve, the Stone Below, the World-Vault, the Root of Weight
• Planar Sigil: A black mountain-vein split by a single golden crystal, set within a square of layered stone
• Primary Function: Source-plane of stone, soil, mineral, pressure, metal, buried memory, endurance, weight, foundation, wealth, and entombment
• Usual Arrival Point: Gate-caverns, sealed vaults, stone circles, mine-shrines, buried roads, elemental fault-zones, or sudden arrival inside raw stone
• Dominant Forces: Earth elementals, primal earth elementals, xorn clusters, shaitan courts, crystal dragons, xiomorn vault-builders, oread communities, mineral intelligences, buried spirits, and hostile earth-lords
• Useful Tone at the Table: Silence, weight, darkness, treasure, contract law, hunger, collapse, endurance, and ancient things that have never hurried

The Elemental Plane of Earth is a limitless depth of stone, soil, crystal, ore, clay, salt, dust, and pressure. It contains caverns large enough to hold empires, tunnels narrow enough to crush a knight, vaults filled with mineral forests, and regions of solid mass where only earth-gliding beings can move freely.

Travellers often imagine it as an endless cave system. The truth is stranger. This is matter before horizon: stone, soil, metal, crystal, burial, foundation, and weight given world-scale reality.

Some regions are habitable. Lantern roads pass through merchant caverns. Oread towns cling to mineral rivers. Xorn clusters feed beside silver-veins and gemstone reefs. Crystal dragons hold luminous dominions. Xiomorn works stand in sealed distances, too vast and precise to be ordinary ruins. Shaitan courts bind labour, trade, law, debt, architecture, and privilege into contracts carved into stone.

Beyond these known spaces lies the greater plane: sealed mass, patient darkness, and foundations older than mortal history.

Cosmological Role

The Plane of Earth belongs to the primal order of the Elemental Planes. It is one of the deep sources from which the Material Plane draws mountain, cave, clay, fertile soil, wall, grave, road, metal, gem, and bone.

The Plane of Earth is ancient. In its earliest state, it is solid foundation: a primordial mass of stone, soil, ore, and pressure, difficult for anything except earth-adapted beings to enter or cross. Its present form — tunnelled, inhabited, border-crossed, politically claimed, and filled with strange cavern ecologies — develops after the Material Plane and the wider elemental convergences reshape access to it.

The Great Collision. The Astral Plane comes later. The Elder Gods come later. The Outer Planes come later. Titans come later still.

In the earliest age, Earth is matter learning to hold form. It gives shape to boundary, weight to existence, and memory to substance. Every foundation stone, grave mound, castle wall, buried road, mine seam, and mountain root carries some echo of this place.

Some scholars call the plane’s tunnelled and inhabited reaches the Eternal Delve. This is a useful source-name for the known cavern systems, not the whole truth of the plane. Beyond mapped caverns lies stillness, sealed mass, and pressure older than mortal history.

The plane’s borders blend with other elemental powers. Near Fire, stone becomes magma, basalt, furnace-vault, slag-sea, and obsidian fault. Near Water, earth softens into mud, clay, silt, drowned cavern, mineral spring, and grinding subterranean river. Near Air, Earth thins into dust, hollow echo, falling scree, and suspended stone. These borderlands matter, but the heart of the plane remains weight.

What the Plane Feels Like

The first sensation is weight.

Armour sits harder on the shoulders. Breathing feels deliberate. Voices vanish into stone after a few feet. Metal rings too loudly. Water is precious. Food tastes of dust unless protected. Light does not travel generously here; it pools around lamps, gems, fungi, lava cracks, and spellfire.

The second sensation is claim.

Open space belongs to someone. A tunnel may be maintained, taxed, guarded, sacred, abandoned, cursed, eaten through, or deliberately sealed. A cavern may be a market, a dragon’s nursery, a shaitan jurisdiction, a xorn feeding ground, a xiomorn worksite, a shrine to foundation, or part of a living elemental body.

The third sensation is temptation.

Gold and gem are common enough to ruin judgement. A traveller may walk past a ruby seam worth a kingdom because the tunnel beyond it breathes. A shaitan contract may offer safe passage in exchange for one impossible future favour. A xorn may accept metal as food, then remember the taste of the party’s weapons forever.

Major Regions and Campaign-Facing Areas

The Gate-Caverns

Most safe arrivals enter through the Gate-Caverns: huge chambers filled with ancient portals, trade-stations, guarded stone arches, ruined shrines, abandoned mining roads, and neutral ground protected by custom.

Gate-Caverns attract guides, smugglers, oread envoys, mephit pests, shaitan tax-collectors, xorn scavengers, crystal merchants, earth-touched settlers, and stranded Material Plane expeditions. They are the plane’s easiest starting point because they contain air, light, signs of ownership, and people willing to bargain.

The World-Vaults

World-Vaults are caverns large enough to contain weatherless nations. Their ceilings vanish into darkness. Their floors hold cities, fungus forests, crystal groves, mineral lakes, buried rivers, and ancient roads cut by hands that no longer have names.

Each World-Vault has its own politics. One may be ruled by a crystal dragon, another by shaitan law, another by a republic of oreads and earth-touched mortals, another by an elemental presence that considers all mining a form of injury.

The Opaline Courts

The Opaline Courts are the great shaitan jurisdictions of the Plane of Earth: contract-realms of marble, basalt, jade, salt, iron, and gemstone law. Their greatest known centre is the Opaline Vault, seat of the Peerless Empire.

Their roads are maintained, guarded, and taxed. Their contracts can protect a traveller from collapse, hunger, raiders, elemental violence, and unlawful seizure. The same contracts can bind descendants, memories, claims, names, labour, future discoveries, or rights to a road not yet carved.

The Opaline Courts are useful allies and dangerous hosts. They prefer order, profit, prestige, craft, durable beauty, and enforceable obligation. Their territory is safe by the standards of the plane, but safety there is purchased through law, service, toll, and debt.

The Xorn Clusters

Xorns live alone or in small clusters away from heavily governed caverns. They feed on metal and gems, understand stone by taste, and know mineral routes invisible to most travellers.

Xorn communities can be peaceful, predatory, hungry, generous, or impossible to understand by surface custom. A xorn that eats a crown may consider it a meal. A king may consider it treason. The plane does not automatically agree with either side.

Xorn clusters are among the best guides through unstable earth, provided their hunger is respected.

The Crystal Dominions

Gem dragons and other crystalline powers claim domains in caverns where gemstone growths form forests, towers, nests, and living prisms. These realms are beautiful, brittle, and politically complicated.

Crystal dragons are the most visible rulers in many of these dominions, but they are not the only gem dragons to claim the deep crystal vaults. Amethyst, emerald, sapphire, topaz, and other gem dragon powers may hold smaller courts, sealed nurseries, mineral libraries, or hidden sanctuaries inside the greater dominions.

Many gem dragons trade in gems and metals, cultivate living crystal forests, guard harmonic mineral growths, and protect communities under their rule. Some shelter subjects from shaitan slavery and harsh contract law. Others treat lesser beings as guests, students, pets, rivals, or temporary participants in very long experiments.

A gem dragon’s domain may appear peaceful until a traveller damages a growing crystal, disturbs an egg chamber, steals a harmonic gem, or breaks the symmetry of a sacred wall.

The Xiomorn Vaults

Xiomorn Vaults are ancient works left by primordial builders and experimenters. Their cavern-cities are too large, too exact, and too strangely unfinished to be treated as ordinary ruins.

Some xiomorns continue to build, seal, alter, or abandon vast structures according to purposes they rarely explain. Their vaults may contain engineered mineral ecologies, sealed life-forms, experimental elementals, impossible machines, or foundations prepared for cities that have not yet been born.

Travellers entering a Xiomorn Vault should expect architecture that still has intentions.

The Pressure Dark

Beyond mapped caverns lies the Pressure Dark: regions of nearly solid plane where movement requires burrowing, earth glide, magic, elemental aid, or terrible endurance.

The Pressure Dark contains dead portals, buried weapons, petrified seas, fossil empires, failed vaults, sleeping elementals, and places where the plane remembers a form it no longer wears.

The oldest primal earth elementals remain here like living strata. Some are so vast that travellers cross a portion of one without realising the tunnel, the tremor, and the pressure around them are all expressions of the same being.

Few guides willingly enter the Pressure Dark. Those who do charge heavily, demand legal protection, or refuse to speak about what they have seen.

The Fault Marches

The Fault Marches are the burning borderlands toward the Elemental Plane of Fire. Basalt shelves, magma rivers, sulphur chambers, glass tunnels, iron citadels, and furnace-mines fill this region.

Shaitan border stations watch for efreet movement from Fire and report to the Opaline Vault. The conflict between the Opaline Vault and the City of Brass can become violent, but the border is also a place of trade, military caution, smuggling, hired labour, shared interests, and uneasy diplomacy.

Shaitan forces, fire-aligned powers, free miners, salamanders, thoqquas, ash creatures, and mercenary caravans contest the richest seams. War here is often economic before it becomes military: tax, road, labour, smelting rights, slave-taking, mine seizure, and control of furnace-vaults.

The Mud Gates

The Mud Gates form where elemental earth yields to the Elemental Plane of Water. They are regions of clay sea, silt storm, drowned cavern, mineral spring, and grinding underground river.

These areas are dangerous because they look survivable. Travellers can breathe, walk, swim, and dig for a time, then discover the whole landscape is slowly swallowing them.

Mud elementals, oozes, drowned miners, clay spirits, and water-earth border powers gather here.

Laws of the Plane

Weight Is Truth

Things have weight here: bodies, words, contracts, lies, treasure, names, guilt, and promises. The plane favours what is grounded, supported, sworn, buried, or carried.

A false oath spoken in the Plane of Earth may grow heavy in the mouth. A broken contract may mark the skin like stone-dust. A promise carved into the plane can outlast the person who made it.

Stone Remembers Shape

Stone records pressure, passage, violence, mining, burial, and spellwork. Certain beings can read these records by touch, taste, vibration, or earth magic.

This makes secrecy difficult in settled regions. A murder in a tunnel, a stolen gem, an illegal excavation, or a broken road-marker may leave traces that a skilled earth-reader can follow.

Emptiness Is Made

Open space is valuable. Caverns are carved, negotiated, guarded, widened, rented, inherited, conquered, or awakened.

This is why territory matters. A tunnel may belong to a court, a dragon, a xorn cluster, a dead builder, a living elemental, a mining compact, a shrine, or the plane itself.

Treasure Has More Than One Meaning

A gem seam may be property, food, treaty-marker, shrine, dragon nursery, court-tax base, or part of a living elemental body.

Many native beings eat stone, metal, salt, crystal, or gems. This gives treasure a second legal identity: wealth to one culture, food to another. A xorn eating a silver idol, a mephit stealing salt, or an elemental absorbing a gemstone foundation may create a diplomatic problem before it creates a combat encounter.

Divine Powers and Sacred Presences

Elemental Lords of Earth

The Plane of Earth recognises elemental lordship before ordinary divine courtly rule. In its deepest strata, power belongs to mass, pressure, foundation, possession, endurance, and the ability to make stone obey.

Elemental lords of earth do not all rule in the same way. Some are sleeping presences felt through tremor, density, mineral growth, and collapse. Others act through cults, bound elementals, shaitan bargains, living mountains, or buried temples. Their authority is local, structural, and often older than the mortal idea of kingship.

Kishar, The First Ground

Kishar is the strongest sacred presence tied to the plane’s deepest identity. She is the primordial foundation, the condition by which earth holds form at all.

Her worshippers know her through stable ground, fertile soil, enduring structures, true foundations, and the terrible meaning of sudden movement. In the plane’s oldest strata, her truth is felt as stillness, bearing, pressure, and correction.

Shrines to Kishar appear as foundation stones, buried clay tablets, sealed seed-vessels, and quiet places where builders, farmers, miners, masons, grave-keepers, and earthpriests ask the ground to remain faithful.

Kishar’s presence should feel vast, impersonal, and sustaining. She is the reason anything can be built, buried, planted, or held.

Ogrèmoch, Lord of Crushing Earth

Ogrèmoch is the most dangerous named elemental lord tied to the Plane of Earth. He is a hostile power of domination, collapse, and violent stone: earth turned into tyranny.

His influence gathers in cruel mountains, slave mines, tyrant caverns, shattered vaults, and places where the ground becomes weapon rather than foundation. His followers favour strength, entombment, tribute, and the rule of the hardest thing present.

Earth elementals, primal earth elementals warped by cruelty, corrupted earth spirits, brutal deep powers, desperate miners, and stonebound cults may answer him when the plane’s patience turns predatory.

Ogrèmoch works best as a campaign antagonist: a lord of earth’s cruelty, not the identity of the plane itself.

Local Earth Cults and Buried Powers

Many caverns have their own sacred laws. Some honour ancestor-stones, crystal saints, sleeping elementals, fossil beasts, mountain mothers, mine-spirits, foundation guardians, or buried rulers.

These powers rarely control the wider plane, but inside their own vaults their authority can be absolute.

Inhabitants

The Plane of Earth is more populated than first-time travellers expect. Entire societies thrive inside nooks, seams, vaults, and pressure-sheltered spaces unknown even to experienced guides.

Common and important inhabitants include earth elementals, primal earth elementals, mud elementals, crystal elementals, xorns, shaitans, earth mephits, salt mephits, oreads, crysmals, thoqquas, sandmen, earth wysps, mudlords, earth veelas, mineral dragons, crystal dragons, xiomorns, living statues, stone guardians, earth pneuma petitioners, and earth-touched mortal communities.

Earth Elementals

Earth elementals are among the plane’s oldest inhabitants. Some remain fused with the plane for decades or centuries, thinking slowly, waking only when disturbance reaches them. Others move through the interior in patterns that look chaotic to visitors but may express fault-lines, mineral hunger, ancient routes, or laws of pressure.

They are not all soldiers or servants. Many are territorial presences, living hazards, old guardians, or expressions of a place’s stability. A peaceful elemental may hold a tunnel open for generations. A hostile one may close a road by deciding it has been empty long enough.

Primal Earth Elementals

Primal earth elementals are the great ancestral expressions of the plane’s first mass: colossal presences of bedrock, pressure, fault, ore, and sealed weight.

They are not merely larger earth elementals. A normal earth elemental may guard a tunnel, break a wall, or move through stone as a native body moves through its own country. A primal earth elemental is closer to a living stratum, a mountain-root with intention, or a pressure-front that has learned to remember.

Most remain in the Pressure Dark, the deepest World-Vault foundations, ancient fault-lines, sealed xiomorn works, and places where the plane still resembles its earliest solid state. Their movement can close roads, open dead caverns, crush false tunnels, reveal buried cities, or shift the border between regions.

Primal earth elementals should feel like events as much as creatures. A party may bargain with one through tremor, sacrifice, earth magic, carved oath, or the mediation of Kishar’s priests, xiomorns, shaitans, or ancient oreads. Fighting one should be rare, catastrophic, and landscape-changing.

Shaitans

Shaitans are earth genies of contract, stonecraft, wealth, title, pressure, and dominion. Their Peerless Empire maintains roads, mines, vaults, fortresses, markets, borders, and legal systems across many settled regions of the plane.

They value strength, skill, wealth, precision, beauty, and enforceable words. Their contracts can protect a party from collapse, hunger, raiders, and unlawful seizure. The same contracts can turn a rescue mission into hereditary debt.

The Opaline Vault remains their greatest known centre. Its border stations toward Fire watch the efreet and the City of Brass, though shaitan dealings with fire powers are not always simple war. Trade, rivalry, military caution, and shared interest all exist along the Fault Marches.

Shaitan rule is orderly but harsh. They prefer willing service, but enemies, debtors, prisoners, and defeated rivals may be forced into mining, road maintenance, court labour, or long contract-servitude. This makes shaitan territory safe by Plane of Earth standards, but never innocent.

Xorns

Xorns are mineral-eaters and deep-route knowers. They live alone or in small clusters, especially away from heavily governed caverns and open tunnels controlled by other powers.

A xorn’s hunger is rarely symbolic. Coins, gems, weapons, armour, crowns, reliquaries, and trade-bars all smell like food. A xorn eating a crown may consider it a meal. A king may consider it treason. The plane does not automatically agree with either side.

Xorns can be guides, neighbours, thieves, witnesses, or hungry disasters depending on circumstance. Offerings of ore, gems, or metal can secure temporary help, but a hungry xorn remembers the taste of a party’s equipment.

Crystal Dragons

Crystal dragons claim luminous caverns and gemstone dominions. Their personal empires are often smaller than shaitan territories, but they can be more humane, more beautiful, and more difficult to understand.

Many crystal dragons trade in gems and metals, cultivate living crystal forests, and protect communities under their rule. Some shelter subjects from shaitan slavery and harsh contract law. Others treat lesser beings as guests, students, pets, rivals, or temporary participants in very long experiments.

A crystal dragon’s domain may appear peaceful until a traveller damages a growing crystal, disturbs an egg chamber, steals a harmonic gem, or breaks the symmetry of a sacred wall.

Oreads

Oreads act as envoys, settlers, translators, miners, priests, traders, and border-folk between mortal worlds and elemental earth. Many live in small communities or scattered among larger cities.

They are often the best interpreters when mortal property law, shaitan contract law, xorn hunger, elemental territoriality, and xiomorn pride collide. Their work is dangerous because a single mistranslated claim, insult, or ownership term can create a feud.

Mephits

Earth and salt mephits are numerous, troublesome, useful, and frequently exploited. Shaitans treat them as pests, minor servants, contract-victims, scouts, messengers, clerks, and labourers.

Some mephits flee authority and live as thieves, guides, gossip-brokers, salt-hoarders, or tunnel-pests. Others rise inside shaitan systems as seneschals, minor power-brokers, or specialists in the petty law of roads, tolls, stores, and work crews.

A mephit encounter should rarely be only comic relief. On this plane, even a minor pest may know who owns the air, which road is safe, and which contract has just become lethal.

Xiomorns

Xiomorns are primordial vault-builders and experimenters whose works mark the deep plane. Their abandoned cavern-cities are too large, too precise, and too strangely unfinished to be ordinary ruins.

They are divided into two broad kinds. Vault Builders are mythic beings capable of vast acts of creation, sealing, alteration, and abandonment. Vault Keepers are lesser but still formidable custodians, inspectors, maintainers, and guardians of xiomorn works.

Some xiomorns continue to build new vaults. Others guard older ones whose original contents have changed, escaped, died, evolved, or begun to speak. Their goals often appear capricious to outsiders, but xiomorns insist that their purposes are exact.

Travellers entering a Xiomorn Vault should expect architecture that still has intentions.

Lesser Earth Denizens

Crysmals, thoqquas, sandmen, earth wysps, mudlords, earth veelas, earth pneuma petitioners, mud elementals, carnivorous crystals, and other earth-aspected creatures fill the plane’s smaller niches.

Use them to make the plane feel inhabited between major powers. A crysmal cluster may mark a valuable vein. A thoqqua may reveal a Fire-border breach. A mudlord may claim a drowning road near the Mud Gates. A carnivorous crystal field may make treasure and predator indistinguishable.

Personhood, Law, and Consequence

Killing creatures in the Plane of Earth has consequences depending on place, personhood, status, threat, custom, and authority.

A rampaging mindless elemental in an unclaimed collapse-zone may be treated as a lethal hazard. A xorn eating a treaty-stone inside a shaitan court may be a criminal, a starving neighbour, or a diplomatic incident. Killing an oread envoy can trigger legal reprisal. Destroying a mephit gang in a salt mine may please one court and offend another. Breaking a crystal dragon’s guardian may require compensation even when the party acted in defence.

Mining is equally dangerous in law. A party may think it has found free treasure. The plane may know otherwise.

The plane is old enough to remember violence. Bodies buried here do not always stay silent.

Travel and Arrival

Safe travel depends on three things: air, orientation, and permission.

Air pockets exist in many inhabited caverns, but they are resources. Some are natural, some maintained, some rented, some guarded, and some poisoned. A party that assumes breathable space is common will eventually be punished.

Orientation is difficult because there is no sky. Maps use seams, pressure-lines, mineral colours, echo patterns, gravity cues, carved markers, guide-stones, and local agreements.

Permission matters because open passages usually belong to someone. In settled regions, unlicensed digging is trespass. In sacred regions, it is sacrilege. In unstable regions, it is suicide.

Quick Rules Reference

Use these as universal table rules before edition-specific mechanics.

• The plane is earth-dominant.
• Unprotected arrival can entomb travellers inside stone.
• Air, food, water, light, and open space are resources.
• Tremorsense, burrowing, stone shape, earth glide, and mineral knowledge matter.
• Loud movement attracts attention.
• Mining or taking gems may be theft, hunting, sacrilege, or treaty violation.
• Falling, crushing, suffocation, petrification, acid, collapse, and getting lost are core hazards.
• Social encounters matter as much as survival encounters.
• Primal earth elementals are landscape-scale powers, not routine wandering monsters.
• Each major region has its own encounter ecology.

Mechanics Tabs

The rules below are mechanics compatible for different game editions.

Running the Plane

For most sessions, build each Plane of Earth scene around three questions:

• What holds this place open?
• Who claims it?
• What happens if the stone moves?

A fight in an empty cave is less interesting than a fight beside a cracked support pillar, a hungry xorn witness, a shaitan contract-marker, and a gemstone seam the enemies are trying to collapse.

Useful encounter pressures:

• The exit is above, below, or behind stone.
• The battlefield changes as it breaks.
• The treasure is alive, sacred, claimed, edible, or load-bearing.
• The safest guide wants payment the party dislikes.
• The obvious enemy has legal standing.
• The stone remembers what the party did.
• A primal earth elemental is moving somewhere far below.
• The plane offers wealth faster than wisdom.

Best Three Adventure Hooks

The Foundation That Moved

A city on the Material Plane begins to sink without warning. Ancient foundations remain intact while newer buildings fail. The cause is a deep excavation that disturbed an old Kishar shrine connected to the Plane of Earth. The party must descend through collapsing undercrofts, negotiate with earth-touched custodians, and decide whether the city’s newest district must be abandoned to save the rest.

The Contract in the Gem Seam

A shaitan court claims ownership of a newly opened gemstone cavern beneath a mortal kingdom. The local miners insist the seam lies under their ancestral land. Xorns have already begun eating the disputed gems, treating them as food rather than wealth. The party is hired to prevent war, but every faction has a valid claim under its own law.

The Stratum That Woke

A xiomorn vault, a mining colony, and a crystal dragon dominion are all built into the same ancient layer of living stone. A primal earth elemental begins to stir beneath them, closing some tunnels and opening others into sealed regions no map records. The local powers blame one another. The party must discover whether the movement is natural, provoked, or deliberately awakened by Ogrèmoch’s followers before the whole World-Vault changes shape.

Historic and Mythic Context

Across mythic traditions, earth is foundation, grave, fertility, endurance, mountain, underworld, wealth, and boundary. The Elemental Plane of Earth gathers those ideas into a single cosmological source: the place behind the sacred mountain, the buried city, the cave oracle, the foundation sacrifice, the ancestral mound, the mine that should have stayed closed, the clay from which life is shaped, and the grave that returns bodies to the world.

In ancient elemental thought, earth is one of the great substances by which philosophers and storytellers described reality. Classical systems often place earth beside air, fire, and water, associating it with matter, weight, solidity, and the terrestrial world. In play, the Plane of Earth turns that symbolic weight into geography: stone has memory, treasure has hunger, and a tunnel is never just empty space. See Classical element and Earth as a classical element.

The plane also draws from older mythic associations of the under-earth: chthonic powers, buried ancestors, hidden wealth, sealed oaths, caves, tombs, mines, and fertile dark. Earth is also seed, womb, root, wall, road, and the ground that allows settlement to endure. See chthonic deities.

Kishar expresses the oldest and most stable version of this truth. In Mesopotamian myth, Kishar stands among the primordial powers associated with earth and cosmic structure. In the campaign, she is the condition by which earth holds form at all: the foundation beneath later gods, cities, walls, and graves. See Kishar.

Mountains, pillars, roots, caves, and deep foundations also connect the plane to the image of the world-axis: the point where upper, middle, and lower worlds are joined. The Plane of Earth does not need a single world-mountain to express this idea. Every foundation, sealed vault, impossible pillar, and mountain-root can become a local axis where mortal life touches deeper reality. See axis mundi.

Ogrèmoch expresses the plane’s violent corruption: earth as domination, crushing force, and hatred of movement. He is useful as an antagonist because he turns the plane’s neutral qualities into tyranny. Weight becomes oppression. Shelter becomes imprisonment. Foundation becomes a tomb.

Between Kishar and Ogrèmoch lies the usable plane for play: a world of treasure, pressure, law, hunger, silence, and deep consequence.
