==Locations== [[File:Axis map.jpg|right|300px]] [[File:Axis PA 1.jpg|right|300px]] ===Threefold Pillars of the Axiomite Godmind=== At the dead center of Axis are the three crystalline obelisks which first appeared in the wasteland and they are the largest structures in the whole city. The surface of each obelisk is marked with a constantly shifting stream of mathematical equations, which represent the Godmind's attempts at making sense of the multiverse; given that it has to contend with planes of improbable chaos, unspeakable evil, and idealistic good, this is a task that is unlikely to be ever completed unless law and order is brought to every other plane of existence, at which point the city of "Axis" will likely have grown outwards to envelop the whole maelstrom. The space between the three obelisks is where the Godmind chooses to manifest physically, though when it does not, the area still acts as the seat of governance for axiomite society. ===Aktun=== The "capital" of Axis is the district belonging to [[Abadar]], fittingly the god of cities, wealth, and civilization. Despite the Axiomites and their Godmind holding most, if not all, of the influence over the defense and construction of the city, ''De facto'' governance and rulership has fallen on Adabar's shoulders. At the district's outer edge, entrance is gained by walking through one of four immense golden archways, guarded by a colossal construct called "Lawgiver", who is capable of occupying multiple locations simultaneously, including on other planes while maintaining his vigil over the arches. At Aktun's heart is the First Vault, which is reputed to contain a perfected version of every creature and object that ever existed. ===The Wasteland=== While the city of Axis is measurably finite, the space in which it inhabits is not. Outside of the city walls the barren void that the city originated from still exists, stretching off into the infinite where it becomes virtually indistinguishable from the Maelstrom. From this wasteland the city gets routinely assaulted by the forces of the chaotic Proteans and abyssal demons, the results of which eventually created the Inevitables to be used as servitors and guards by the Axiomites. The city has also weathered assaults from the primordial titans and the battle scars are still visible from the walls of the city. ===Pharasma's Spire=== Axis is host to the pillar of quintessence that leads to the [[Boneyard]], which stands outside of the city walls and is visible from nearly all points on the plane. Unlike the [[Outlands|Spire in D&D]] that leads to [[Sigil]], the spire of Axis is not deceptively infinite, though it is impossibly tall, and continually growing. Reaching the spire would mean leaving the city and crossing the battle scarred wasteland to the base itself, where one would find that is is encircled by a tributary of the [[Hades|River Styx]]. The base is also surrounded by golden walls which are guarded by Inevitables, which oversee the polluted water and protect against [[Daemon (Pathfinder)|Daemons]].
