Ilm'eari

A small, rocky planet with a population of about 15 million. It is a neutral planet hidden behind a dangerous nebula in the Jar'lich sphere. The planet of Ilm'eari is host to a fair sized Drow monarchy, driven mostly to the Underdark of the planet due to the dangerous fauna and environments on the surface warped by frequent magic storms due to the nearby nebula and after effects of The War of Roses. More recently, a felinid Kingdom (now theocracy), known as the Murrpau, has been rediscovered. The surface almost seems to mirror the Underdark with large glowing mushrooms and strange flora abound. In contrast to this, the monarchy is in the possession of a sizable flotilla of spelljammers, mostly for the purpose of guarding a mineral rich asteroid belt surrounding the planet.

The moon, Dil’xae, is a cold, near inhospitable moon save for one area that has recently become home to a mad, seemingly immortal wizard named Frex, who pulled out from a different plane of existence, an enormous casino/fortress. He runs this giant casino and den of debauchery strangely called “Frex’s Facinorous Fortress".

## Government

The drow kingdom is an absolute monarchy. There are noble factions that squabble, but the true power lies with the royal family, primarily with the King Patriarch and Queen Matriarch, although there are many princes and princesses that do help with legislative tasks. King Patriarch Bae’zar Aleanana and Queen Matriarch Bae’olin Aleanana, or more colloquially the Fated Night King and Queen, rule equally and have been said to have a strong love for each other that has endured centuries of hardship.

The Murrpau Kingdom was more of a republic than a kingdom. The queen, named Ruby Path, was more a figurehead than a ruling person. The power lay in that of the council, headed by the tressym felinid, Tome of Secrets. Recent uncovering of dealing with devils led to a coup by the Clergy of Bast, deposing Tome of Secrets from power. Ruby Path abdicated the throne and the government system changed to a theocracy instead.

## Prejudices

The drow of Ilm’eari have little prejudice save for a fierce hatred of illithids, creatures who manipulate gravity and time that run opposite of the teachings of Quar’xyra (Drow representation of Labelas Enoreth). Those who practice the art of dunamancy in the city will face swift reprisal from the Royal Mage Guard.

The felinids of the Murrpau Theocracy also have a hatred towards the illithid, especially given what happened to a third of their population while in stasis. A deranged and quite old mind flayer (named Qhausdodess) was trapped in the stasis vault for decades and decades, subsisting on the brains of the felinids in their repose. So currently, anything with tentacles (including yummy octopus) is now banned from the kingdom. This may change in the future; many felinids remember enjoying a nice octopus ceviche.

## Crime

Crime is dealt with fairly by both the drow Monarchy and the Murrpau Theocracy. The same, however, cannot be said for Frex’s Facinorous Fortress. There is only one judge that presides over all cases, Frex himself. And he can be both facetious and draconian, as mad wizards are wont to be. Mark the warnings on the rule boards well, as punishment could range from having to compliment the wizard for an hour to being torn asunder while your soul watches from the ethereal plane.

## Climate/Geography

A myriad of climates on the surface due to the strange weather phenomena. It is a patchwork of glowing mushroom forests, poison rivers and lakes, yawning canyons, lava fields, icy tundras, and more. A lot of the climate reflects the actual underdark, however it is much more dangerous due to raging magical storms and oversized fauna.

## Major Settlements

The capital city of the drow and deep races is located in the underdark, the same goes for the Murrpau Theocracy. The surface cannot currently be tamed.
