Introduction

Welcome! I am JustAnotherDM, although you can call me Alloknax or Vul. This is one of several documents that make up the lore and history series for my homebrew world of Hycalria. This document specifically is my Manual of the Planes, basically. It will cover all eight planes of existance, from the material plane that is Hycalria to the caged halls of Asithyn. Lets get started shall we?

Cosmological Model

Hycalria's multiverse is arrange in three layers, somewhat similar to the Great Wheel Model. At the top are the Upper Planes of Starhaven, Havithon, and Faerie. In the are is the Material Plane of Hycalria and its coexisting plane of Erithop. The prison Plane of Asithyn is on this level as well. At the bottom are the Lower Planes of Fugithos, the Abyss, and Hecithon. Now, lets get onto Specifics.

On the Natives of the Planes

Each of the Nine planes has its various inhabitants and natives. They are as follows:

Celestials. These are the inhabitants of Starhaven, home of the Gods. They are usually the servants of the deities. They also inhabit Havithon

Fae(Fey). These are the inhabitants of Faerie, and serve as protectors of Nature.

Elementals. These are the physical embodiments of Elemental Water, Earth, Air, and Fire. They can be found across the plane of Erithop.

Undead. Extraplanar undead make their home on the plane of Fugithos, and are known as the Hungry Dead.

Fiends. Fiends make their home in The Abyss. Demons rule some of the Abyss' seven Chasms with fang and claw. Devils rule the Circles of the Nine, within the Hellrift under the watchful eye of Asmodeus. Yugoloths embroil themselves in the Blood War between Devil and Demon. And more besides.

Shades. The Shades make their home on the plane of Hecithon, where Hycalria casts a deadly Shadow.

Cagewatchers. These strange beings are the Jailors of Asithyn, and keep watch over the prisons of the six Primordials of Hycalria.

Deities and the Planes

Many deities live among the outer planes. Because of this, they have a simple rank associated with their divine rank. These ranks are Planar Lord, Planar Baron, and Planar Duke. Collectively, they are known as Planar Rulers.

Planar Lord. The Planar Lords are the Greater Deities of Hycalria, the beings that wielded the magic to create the Planes of existence. This is the highest of the Planar Rulers, and only a few can and will exist. Notable ones include Draconicus, Funhythil, and Kusirath.

Planar Baron. The Planar Barons are lesser deities that serve the Planar lords, ruling over large regions of the planes. Notable ones include Yokari, Ducon, and Arador.

Planar Duke. The Planar Dukes are the Demigods that serve the Greater and Lesser Deities. Four rule over Erithop, the Elemental Chaos: Gunitan, Miana, Misovir, and Rislon.
