Abrillion, the planet

Abrillion lies amidst the infinite expanse of the Material Plane, a realm of boundless possibilities and untold stories. Its landscapes are as diverse as its inhabitants, ranging from verdant forests teeming with life to desolate deserts whispering tales of ancient civilizations.

the world of Abrillion is orbited by a sun and a moon. The sun is a benevolent celestial body that provides warmth and light to the world. The moon is a mystical orb that influences the tides and is said to hold a special connection to the emotions of mortals.

Besides the Sun and Moon, there are five other astral bodies that orbit around Abrillion. These are:

The Astral Moon: A smaller, ethereal moon that orbits Abrillion at a slightly higher altitude than the physical moon. It is said to be the home of spirits and celestial beings.

The Crystalline Sphere: A perfectly spherical celestial body made entirely of crystals, reflecting the world below with perfect clarity. It is said to be a reflection of Abrillion's soul, revealing its true beauty and potential.

The Oblivion Gate: A rift in the fabric of reality, where matter is torn apart and scattered across the cosmos.

The 'Omen' Comet: A fiery comet that appears in the skies every few centuries, heralding a time of great change and upheaval. Legends say that its appearance is a sign that the world is about to undergo a significant transformation.

The Veil of Illusion: A shimmering veil that occasionally obscures the sky, creating a world of illusions and madness. It is said to be a gateway to the realm of dreams and the source of many of Abrillion's most fantastical creatures.

Abrillion's Regions

In the north territory of Ambria, just after Cloud Fall, lies a region aptly named the "Blighted Outlands." This wretched domain serves as a stark testament to the devastating power of the undead, a maelstrom of decay and despair where the living cling to survival in the face of relentless hordes of the spectral dead.

The Blighted Outlands

The Kingdom of Ambria also known as the Crystalline Coast is a mesmerizing coastline adorned with towering crystal formations, sparkling in the sunlight and echoing with the whispers of the ocean.

The Verdant Expanse

A lush, verdant forest teeming with life and mystery, home to ancient trees, mythical creatures, and hidden treasures.

The Obsidian Peaks

A towering mountain range shrouded in perpetual darkness, where ancient magic and forgotten secrets lie dormant, guarded by fearsome creatures.

The Whispering Sands

A vast desert of shifting sands, where ancient ruins and lost civilizations lie buried, their tales waiting to be unearthed.

The Celestial Archipelago

A chain of islands floating in the sky, connected by mystical bridges, where the stars themselves dance and the air is alive with celestial magic.
