===Layers=== Arcadia is meant to be a utopia where civilization lives in harmony with nature, where rivers and forests run in perfectly straight lines like something out of a 8-bit video game. There are no rolling hills as the landscape is mostly flat, the hills or mountains that do exist as if they had been placed there for aesthetic value more than anything else. The grass grows perfectly even and fruit never falls from the tree but is always ripe for picking. Day and Night are strictly regimented, there is a "sun" called the Orb of Day and Night that sits itself in the exact center of the plane and visible from all points regardless of your distance from it. It never moves from its spot but it does rotate itself at set intervals so there is no in-between period of dusk or dawn. Just instantaneous light or dark on half of the plane at any given time. ====Abellio==== The only thing that can really be said about Abellio is that it it perfectly exemplifies Arcadia, and because there are only two layers for all intents and purposes Abellio ''is'' Arcadia. Militaristic Dwarves make their homes here at '''Mount Clangeddin''', realm of [[Clangeddin Silverbeard]], and spend exactly half of their time drilling or training for war, whether or not the war ever comes since Arcadia is unlikely to come under any real threat. The other half of the time they spend perfecting their craft, therefore it is a really good place to pick up weapons or armour, since outsiders are always welcome (so long as they adhere to the laws). It's also a good place to hire an army if a person were ever so inclined, since the Dwarves here are always tempted by glorious battle and righteous warfare. In the [[Forgotten Realms]] cosmology, Mount Clangeddin is connected to '''Erackinor''' in [[Celestia]] as part of '''Dwarfhome'''. Other divine realms include [[Reorx]]'s ''Anvil of Creation'', [[Saint Cuthbert]]'s ''Bastion of Law'', [[Izanagi & Izanami]]'s realm of ''Cherry Blossom'', [[Marduk]]'s realm of ''Marduk'', [[Lu Hsing]]'s ''Ministry of Rewards'', and [[Azul]] and [[Tlaloc]]'s realm of ''Tlalocan''. '''[[Formian]]s''' also live here, having migrated out from Mechanus, but they are quick to reassure outside observers that they are not here to invade or impose their heavy handed brand of order. Whether you believe them or not is another thing entirely. ====Buxenus==== Buxenus appears almost exactly like Abellio, though the landscape is a bit more rugged and the people are a bit more militaristic and regimented. If Abellio represents a plane of law and order where everyone works for the greater good, then Buxenus is [[Stupid Good#The darker side of goodness|the slightly darker side to that]]. The second layer represents how law can be harsh and unforgiving, where punishments can be disproportionate to the crime as a means of deterring others. But bear in mind the petitioners and native inhabitants to Buxenus will be of similar mindsets and are extremely unlikely to go breaking any laws, so what we're ''really'' talking about is making examples of outsiders and travelers who come to the plane and happen to step on the grass when the sign said not to. ''In short: don't travel to Buxenus unless you have read the rule-book thoroughly.'' Divine realms located here include: ''Azuth'', the realm of [[Azuth]], ''The Eye'', realm of [[Savras]], ''The Hand of Peace'', realm of [[Meriadar]], and ''Heliopolis'', the realm of [[Re-Horakhty|Ra, Horus]], [[Isis]], and [[Osiris]]. The '''[[Harmonium]]''' make their headquarters here, and are apparently massing for a recovery attempt at the missing third layer so they can bring it back to Arcadia. Though quite hilariously this is doomed to failure, as the only way to move a physical location from plane to plane is to fill it with a majority of people of a particular alignment so that the location itself re-aligns. While the Harmonium sees that as their goal, what they happen to be blind to the fact that their attempts at indoctrinating people to think as they do has more in common with a lawful viewpoint than a good one, so they run the risk of dropping Buxenus into [[Mechanus]] in exactly the same way that the third layer already did. ''(They aren't called the "Hard-heads" for nothing)''
