The Multiverse

The multiverse surrounding Lunareth is infinite. Each plane of existence different than the last. Its people, cultures, laws, and even gods are all distinct and unique.

## Creation of the Multiverse

The Crescent Plane, home of Lunareth and cradle of the multiverse, came into being when the Elder Gods Erasil and Thusur shaped the planets, moons, and stars, arranging them to their desire. This act enraged the third Elder God, Turena, who used her power to create a minor plane of existence for herself, where she has spend the rest of time in isolation. In her absence, Erasil was intrigued by the power to create other planes of existence, so he began to research it. Eventually when he and Thusur discovered this power, they too created other planes of existence. It was this that sparked the dawn of the multiverse.

## The Crescent Plane

Known as the cradle of the multiverse, the Crescent Plane was the first plane of existence in the multiverse. Created by Erasil and Thusur, it is the home of the gods, Lunareth, and life itself. Erasil rules over this plane after his fellow Elder Gods, Thusur and Turena, denied their responsibilities to Lunareth and its people. After the Expanse, the most powerful gods of the multiverse have since left their planes and gone to the Crescent Plane, where Erasil formed The Pristine View, a fortress where all the gods of the multiverse can share and revel in the Elder Gods' creation.

### The Pristine View

Created by Erasil, this intangible fortress houses the most powerful gods in the multiverse. Here, Erasil can host feasts, bouts, debates, and spectacles for the other gods without taking his sight off of Lunareth, his most cherished creation.

## Plane of Stars

Inspired by Thusur's beauty, Erasil devoted himself to create a plane of existence in his lover's image. This led to the creation of the Plane of Stars, a mystical realm where the very laws of physics are altered. The plane is bombarded by sunlight, and the people there have learned to harness the gravitational pull of the stars to traverse the realm. After its creation, Erasil created Diesis, God of Invention, to watch over the realm. Diesis was fascinated by magic, and used his knowledge and drive to shape the realm to his liking, preserving its beauty and mysticism. He also took up the scientific journey to create life. He began with his son, Udros, the First Gith, who Diesis used as a mold for the githyanki and githzerai, which now populate the Plane of Stars. After the Expanse, Diesis left Udros in charge of this plane, leaving it to join Erasil and the rest of the Pantheon in the Crescent Plane.

## Plane of Shadow

What was originally an experiment between Erasil and Thusur, the Plane of Shadow is a realm with no stars or moons. The people here live in complete darkness, and their lifestyle and senses have evolved to show it. Also home to powerful monsters and dangerous magic, the people here are cold and harsh. To watch over this plane, Erasil and Thusur created Catarr, God of Darkness. Catarr is devious, able to manipulate shadow to his desire. He snuck into other planes of existence, primarily the Crescent Plane and the Plane of Balance, and stole thousands of mortals from underneath the gods' noses. He raised them in the Plane of Shadow, creating the Drow and Duergar.

Not content with the results, he created the Shadar-Kai after stealing the power to do so from Erasil. The Shadar-Kai he created were eternally loyal to him, vicious and cunning. They ruled over this plane, and its "lesser" denizens for centuries, until the Expanse, which offered the people of the Plane of Shadow a chance to escape their lives, which they did. Catarr also fled from the plane after the Expanse to join the rest of the gods in the Crescent Plane. Without the support of their god, the Shadar-Kai fell apart.

Now, the Plane of Shadow is quiet, as its people do their best to not stir bad blood with their neighbors. The worship of Catarr is forbidden by law, and all remnants of it are quickly dismantled.

## Plane of Elemental Chaos

In response to Erasil's distant behavior and lack of attention, Thusur, God of Light and the Stars left the Crescent Plane for a moment, taking their son Fivor to create his own realm in hopes of spiting his lover. The Plane of Elemental Chaos was the result, a land of unpredictable storms and disasters. Nothing Thusur or Fivor could do could undo the calamities in this plane, frustrating the pair. Thusur then left Fivor in charge of the plane and returned to Erasil, begging for forgiveness. Fivor grew to hate his father for abandoning him, driving him to madness. He chose to leave his new home as is, assuming the name "God of Disaster". From his new home, Fivor created Elementals, which he trained as part of his army to wage war against his parents. He also created the Genasi, which were much harder to indoctrinate into his army, so he disregarded them.

## Plane of Balance

After Thusur created the Triplet Goddesses, Muna, Ena, and Bana, he and Erasil created them a realm to rule over. They created the Plane of Balance, nearly identical to the Crescent Plane. The three goddesses bickered endlessly amongst themselves, splitting the realm into three separate kingdoms. When Erasil discovered how to create life, he shared this gift with the sisters, who in turn created Celestials, Fey, and Fiends. This was the first plane to be contacted by the people of the Crescent Plane during the Expanse. The Plane of Balance is divided into 3 subplanes, one for each sister.

### The Summit

Built high above the sky, this is the home of Muna, Goddess of Diplomacy. Boasting pristine architecture and lavish riches, this is the home of the Celestials, and only Celestials can access it.

### Faerie

Down in the ground, spanning farther than any of the other subplanes is Faerie, the home of Ena, Goddess of War. Here is where life began in the Plane of Balance, when Ena created an army of elves with the help of Erasil to end the fighting between her sisters. After this, Ena created more fantastic creatures and humanoids, which she called the Fey.

### The Hells

Down below the molten rock at the core of the planet Faerie lies The Hells, the domain of Bana, Goddess of Corruption. The cold, ashen territories that make up the hells are home to Fiends of all types, from Demons to Devils to Tieflings. Unlike The Summit, Bana allows all to enter her domain, however, no one that enters leaves the exact same. The Hells have a special energy that corrupts even the most righteous.

## Realm of Time

This is the home of Turena, Goddess of Time. She created this minor plane of existence to escape the other Elder Gods. In here, her power is absolute and mortal life is forbidden from entry.
