	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 it 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.''

	Arcadia 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.
