Editing Talislanta (section)

===The Lower Planes===
*'''The Underworld:''' Classical Sheol in as much as it is not an evil place, but also not a ''nice'' place. Dotted with graveyards, burial mounds, tombs, mausoleums, catacombs, and cenotaphs, all souls of the dead come here, crossing the Sea of Eternity, and walking the Forever Road to the Halls of Death, where Death judges them. In the northern region is the citadel Omnus, a library presided over by the spectral being called Destiny, or the Author of Fate, where all days, past, present, and future are written. If one can pass the Nine Gates of Omnus, they can petition Destiny for a glimpse of the future. This features the city Ebon; whose residents are tall, dark, and undead. The Malum now in the Iron Citadel in Talislanta are Ebonites back to the world of the living.
*'''Oblivion:''' A volcanic realm inhabited by devils. Once they were Archons, but they were cast out and make their home here now. Oblivion is surrounded by the Barrier Wall, a 1000 ft tall structure guarded by sentries, with two great iron portals allowing access and egress to the realm, one coming and going to the Underworld, and the other to the Riven Lands. Most devils live in the bleak stone castles that extend into the noxious atmosphere, while the lesser ones toil in the mines, pits, and dungeons, or hide in whatever crevices and holes they find.
*'''The Demonrealms:''' Home to the anti-elementals that are the demons. The ground is constantly breaking away into floating masses of sludge, seas burn, and black lightning rends the poisonous skies. Everything that is destroyed or dies in the Material Plane eventually ends up here to be broken down by the demons.
*'''The Void:''' A swirling darkness with a central nucleus of negative energy, The Dark, to which everything in the Void is drawn towards. All matter and energy that comes from the Demonrealms is turned back into aetherium here and distributed back into the Omniverse through the stars. Think, Room Of Lost Souls in ''Beetlejuice'' - damnation for the damned.

In those Riven Lands the devils and demons fight until the end of time. The parallels to [[Planescape]]'s [[Blood War]] are obvious - although, since Talislanta had already been puttering along over the 1990s, this might well be an independent borrowing from Michael Moorcock's classic Law/Chaos dynamic.

South of the Demonrealms is the Raging Sea; south of that is the chaotic Nether Dimension. The Sepharans are from the latter. They've got a lust for the Nether Ones from the Void. Think of the Nether Realm as Talislanta's Leng.

The Dark Dimension, not to be confused with the Dark or the Darkness (we didn't come up with these names, leave us alone), is its own horrible thing, riddled with canyons and pits under a manta-infested black sky. It mainly interacts with other planes by way of the Brood.
