Wanderland

"North of Heaven and south of Hell, you'll find Wanderland."

Wanderland, the enigmatic plane between planes, is a world of nonsense, shenanigans, and tomfoolery. It is a place where tea partiers never seem to end, caterpillars know everything, doors talk back, and other silliness thrives. And now, as the gods themselves have lost their powers, Wanderland has become the newly adopted home of Nivi Rhomodazzle. Essentially, it has become her safe haven, a plane where her citizens adore and cater to her every whim, having usurped the tyrannical Queen of Hearts with the help of adventurers from Babel.

## History of the Plane

Wanderland's history is difficult to decipher for many reasons. The rules and makeup of the plane seem to change randomly, such as creatures being smaller or larger than before, unexpected but stringent rules of social etiquette, and other instances of reality being altered. Simply put, trying to gather info from any of Wanderland's residence is generally a fruitless endeavor.

What is known is that Wanderland thrives on nonsense. Generally the point of it all is that there is no point, allowing Wanderland and its citizens to live in blissful and zany ignorance. There are a few known details though. The Plane was initially ruled by the tyrannical and greedy Queen of Hearts, who used her immense size and strength to bring something resembling order to her kingdom. She was served by an army of card soldiers so vast that no other force in the plane could stop them. As such, most of Wanderland's citizens sworn fealty or went into hiding. Presumably, there were once rules of Clubs, Spades, and Diamonds, but their heads were most likely separate from their shoulders a long time ago.

The only way that Wanderland could be reached was with the help of the White Rabbit, who would randomly travel between her home plane and many others, always complaining about being late for some appointment before disappearing. It took all of Nivi's magic and mastery of chance to locate the rabbit and, in time, convince her to aid her in her desire to take over for the Queen of Hearts. With many of Wanderland's citizens behind her, along with adventurers from Babel, the Queen would be removed, and the plane is now ruled over by Nivi herself.
