Planar Legend Lore

## Taroverulus

Taroverulus, the Golden Lawgiver, and the firstborn of Mandalos, governs the Halls of Mandalos in peace and order. Mandalos, the father of the humble Halflings, envisioned a community of song and music, of art and sculpture, in which the traditional craft of mortalkind would forever be enshrined, an idyllic land of peace and prosperity. For this reason, Paladins of Devotion, and Clerics of Light, find their beliefs mirrored in this plane. The whereabouts of Mandalos, believed to have retired from public life in pursuit of the tranquility of the countryside after the War of the Nexus, are unknown and unclear; however, he bestowed his power and his dragonstones to his firstborn heir and successor, Taroverulus. Taroverulus is believed to see the struggles of the Nexus as a trite and pitiful affair unworthy of his notice--with Logarius permanently gone, nothing can threaten the safety and security of the Elysium of his Halls.

## Radovius

Radovius, the Silver Shipwright, is responsible for the Silver Havens. He rules the plane, as well as its earthly territories, with a firm conviction in the principle of the greater good: he believes it must be brought about forcibly, even when ruthlessly so. For this reason, the creator of the Silver Havens eagerly leads the crusade of his people into the Nexus; in the days of yore, he was believed to have been one of the principal architects of Logarius's downfall. Although he is by no means seeking his own aggrandizement or to bring about tyrannical despotism, Radovius firmly believes that his role is to bring about the victory of virtue in the Nexus. Thus, an alliance with the Holy Order of the Knights of the Transmundane was a natural progression for the Silver Havens; following the downfall of the White Tyrant, the secretive pact was superseded with a firm and strongly-entrenched alliance, where the Heavenborn (Aasimar) of the heavens fight side-by-side with the Holy Order.

## Cassida

Cassida, the Bronze Huntress, created the Hunting Grounds for benevolent and independent souls. The Gnomes were created by her, and share her benevolent but whimsical leanings--Brilliant but down-to-earth, Callan Curioll Nirmarth is a prime example of her alignment, and the foremost of the Gnomish Artificers and Wizards. Cassida, however, relinquished the title of plane master, dedicating her life to granting a free home to all who fought for charity and freedom, in the eternal rush of the Hunt. The Hunt, as of recently, has extended to the Prime Material plane, and many individuals of the Hunting Grounds roam the earth in bands, seeking a worthy challenge. It is rumored that Cassida is one of such individuals…

## Moradinus

Moradin, the Dwarf-Father, staunchly governs the Promise (in Dwarvish, Oadengard, "Oath-Land"), the Dwarven afterlife, with the utmost respect for the noble ideals of honor and tradition. Moradin created Dwarvenkind in his shape and image, birthing them in the Promise but commending them to the Nexus, as Logarius ordained, such that all races might learn to coexist in balance. Moradin does not seek to bring the Nexus to submit to Dwarves; rather, he seeks to bring about the prosperity of his people and their security in light of the other planes' invasion of the Nexus, especially against the children of Neia, the chaotic elves, and especially the Drow, who have enslaved Moradin's children. With the False Logarius gone, Moradin seeks to free his people in the Nexus and eliminate any threats against their society. Wielding his mighty hammer **Mjulhand**, the Foehammer, his tower shield, **Dulftend**, and riding the ancient bear **Krogenchaft** to war, he is, however, unwilling to battle outside of the confines of law, order, and honor.

## Logarius

The masterless soul of yore, the ironically-titled Great Conqueror, strove to achieve balance in everything he pursued. In moderating the qualms of the Planescape, however, he is believed to have sowed the seeds of his own downfall. His successor, the White Tyrant, strove tirelessly to achieve knowledge of the many mysterious tales surrounding his so-called predecessor, but failing to achieve the vaunted title of Abysswalker at the hands of the Suspects.

## Neia

Neia, the Mother of Chaos, created the Wandering Isles as the physical manifestation of unrelenting change, untethered independence, and ultimate freedom. Once attached to Logarius, their tumultuous political alliances and conflicts mirrored their complicated friendship and eventual romance, and Neia appeared to have vanished at the same time as Logarius at the end of the First Planar War. Following the destruction of Shihen Ahen, the consumed city in which mortalkind first attempted contact with the Abyss (an event orchestrated by the machinations of Friede), at the hands of Logarius, Neia volunteered to sacrifice herself to keep fateful watch until such a time as Logarius's plans could come to fruition, surrendering her dragonstones to the suspects and renouncing her soul to the Firmament.

## Friede

Friede is the youngest of the line of Ancient dragons, and the youngest of the rulers of the planes, with Cassida being her elder by a scant few hundred years. She presides over the Cinder Covenant, and is the steward and ruler of the Ashen Dominions.
