The line of rule was briefly interrupted in 1070 DR , when Teremir II of the Bormul Dynasty slew Coram II in a duel and briefly reestablished the Bormul ' s on the throne . When Alemander I killed Teremir II the next year , power returned to the Lions ' Dynasty .

Limbo Limbo was an Outer plane in the Great Wheel cosmology model that embodied the chaotic neutral alignment . The plane of Warrior ' s Rest in the World Tree cosmology was similar to Limbo in many ways but not quite as morphic . The batrachi formed a realm in Limbo called the Supreme Throne which became its own plane in the World Tree cosmology model . Limbo was lost during the Spellplague and may have fallen into the Elemental Chaos . Description . This plane was supreme chaos , a twisting , quicksilver place filled with bits and pieces of rocks , trees , the four elements , entire landscapes , strong winds , and random pockets of liquid , solid , or gas . Sentient beings could dampen down the chaos to livable levels and produce a safe environment as long as they maintained concentration . The size of a safe zone was directly related to the intelligence of the individual controller . Demigod s and more powerful beings did not have this burden and indeed could create realms that survived even if they left Limbo . Gravity operated only between solid objects that touched each other and had about the same strength as on most Prime Material Plane s . Thrown objects would fly straight until they hit a solid object . Objects with no momentum would hang in space until contacted by something solid . As described by the Great Wheel cosmology , Limbo had five layers that were nearly indistinguishable from each other . The first four layers were named for the chief race or deity that were most often found there . The fifth layer was referred to as the layer of Lost Gods . Gith and Slaad . The slaad were likely natives of Limbo and the githzerai were immigrants ( or refugees , if you ask the githyanki ) and the first layer was named for them . This layer was strategically important because of its connections to Gladsheim , Concordant Opposition , Pandemonium , and the Astral plane . Susanowo . Named after a deity from the country of Japan on Earth , he ruled a spherical bubble half filled with sea water and aquatic life and churned by storms of his making . Agni . Named after a deity from the country of India on Earth , he resided in a sphere of pure flame that floated through the layers at his will . Indra . Also from India , Indra ' s sphere was half filled with enchanted milk and his palace stood on an island - sized tortoise ( or possibly a tortoise - shaped island ) . Lost Gods . It is unknown if any race or deity favored this layer . Afterlife . When souls arrived in the plane of Limbo they were not allowed to manifest in some form but rather were absorbed into the matter of the plane . Occasionally a collection of spirits would become powerful enough to form what was called a " chaos elemental " , not to be confused with a being from the elemental planes . Realms . The realms of the powers that resided in Limbo floated through the various layers at will and so are listed here in no particular order .
