Richard Archeron/Territory

## Demiplane

Richard's demiplane is located near Sharon's own demiplane, where the strongest unoccupied energy storm near Norland was located.

Every book he’d looked at, every one of the half dozen legendary mages he’d consulted with regards to the topic, even the Mage Association, the answer had been uniform: he had to look for a null point in the void that had been calm for a few centuries for a good demiplane. However, as his master, Sharon insisted that the demiplane be constructed in the center of an energy storm.

### **Properties**

* Elemental Soil as the base of the demiplane. The ground littered with motes of yellow like gold strewn across the meadow.
* 18 Energy absorbing trees beyond the legendary grade were planted in the demiplane by Sharon.
* Manapool
	+ The pool started emitting a faint mist as mana started radiating from within, clear liquid slowly starting to fill it. Richard walked over and cupped some of it with both hands, finding it strangely viscous with a strong aura of mana that made it clear that this was amongst the best mana springs in existence. A single vial of this would be considered a powerful mana potion, able to fetch over a thousand gold coins.
	+ The mana pool had already been filled to the bring, the liquid flowing out and being absorbed by the earth. Grains of magic crystals were forming where the mana water was absorbed, and a thin layer with dozens of them had already been formed at the bottom of the pool; one of them was already milky white, showcasing great purity. Just this pool alone could harvest ten thousand gold a day.

### **Level 22**

* At this point, Richard’s demiplane had grown to a circumference of several hundred metres. The energy-absorbing trees continued to drain the energy storm all around, turning it into elemental soil on the edges. The entire place looked like a barren rock, but picking up a random pebble would be pure earth elemental energy, useful in a number of potions, spell arrays, and equipment.
* His mana pool now had three layers, and the uppermost level that was a metre wide was already full. Liquid mana flowed down from it to the second level that four metres across and a full metre deep, this one a little more than half-filled as well. The third level had several smaller ponds that would eventually cater to individual elemental energy, forming crystals of specific elements, but that would have to wait until the second level was filled.
* A thick layer of magic crystals already lined the bottom of the top pool, with quite a large number of those crystals being extremely pure. It hadn’t been terribly long, but Richard himself had to go quiet at the sight of more than a million gold’s worth of crystals. This was already enough for Noelene to pay the costs of breaching their contracts with customers. The energy absorbing trees were most certainly amongst the most precious treasures in all the planes; seeing their efficiency, he knew that a regular legendary mage would give up their entire life’s savings for a single one.

### **Level 27**

* His demiplane had grown half fold, and the original energy pools were now overflowing into lakes at the base of the hill. Magic crystals were littered everywhere, filling the place with a rainbow glow.

## **Faelor**

### History

Richard and his initial party were all sent there after the Nobles from Norland made massive Offerings to the Church of the Eternal Dragon requesting the Portal coordinates to be altered in plot to kill him.

After many things he managed to develop his own force there, eventually becoming known as Crimson Dukedom.

* Currently, it is under danger of attack from Reapers as the Doomsday Imprint was found in the plane. Ten years countdown

### Territory

Crimson Dukedom is located in the Bloodstained Lands, controlling all of its borders. It was created in — and has been expanding ever since the attack of Joseph Family. Crimson Dukedom has reached the core of the Ancestral Barbarian Lands, and is only a step away from conquering the whole of the Ancestral Barbarian Lands. The Land of Turmoil is under the control of the Broodmother, who has created a ”nest”. Although inhabitable for most people, it is effectively under Richards control.

the capital — has been flourishing under Raymond Joseph and Reyna.

## **Forest Plane**

### History

used to belong to the Schumpeter family until it was taken by Gaton.

### Territory

Richard is in control of 2 tribes (Evernight Tribe and -). He has also frightened the rest of the tribes under the nearest world tree by destroying a couple of them. All the nearby tribes have run far away, leaving much space for Richards exclusive use.

## **Resting Orchid Plane**

The biggest drain on his resources was actually the Resting Orchid Plane. Senma had to remain there to deal with Stardragon just in case he showed up, and he also had to keep fifty rune knights stationed there at all times to ensure that an ambush didn’t take out the portal. Book 6, Chapter 147

### **Intro**

Faelor, the Forest Plane, the Resting Orchid Plane under Senma’s care, and the Tulland plane that was being guarded by Asiris.

It looked like the peak of this plane was right on the edge of the coast, forming a 10-kilometre cliff. Such terrain couldn’t be formed naturally, and made it look like this was a section of a plane that was cut off by a powerful god. This peak had a strange name as well; it was just called the Godnest.

With the continent being so small, the Resting Orchid Plane generally had the same climate from north to south. The constant hail and snow was unbearably oppressive, each flake the size of a young child’s fist. Sometimes the snow was piled so high that even large warhorses would occasionally sink in completely.

After an entire week of marching forward, Richard finally had a taste of the arduous climate of the plane. The temperature was often several dozen degrees below freezing, and without experienced guides marching through these snowy lands was a great danger in itself. There were bottomless pits on either side of the elevated path that could instantly kill a horse.

Godtear Rift. This valley was ridiculously huge, a hundred metres below ground on average with the lowest point being nearly a kilometre deep. The rivers of the north formed rapids that disappeared into the depths, re-emerging in the southern part of the continent. These waters never froze even in the depths of winter, but cascading mist normally rose hundreds of metres into the air when the plane was at its coldest.

At both ends of the valley were small mountain ranges that blocked any seawater from entering the lowlands.

After a lengthy discussion with Senma, he learnt that the plane had inordinate power for its size. There were legendary beings here, and more than one at that. Its magic was developed as well, although it took the route of Klandor’s totemic warriors instead of Norland’s runes.

Originally home to barbarians (including totemic warriors). Only plane which is entirely under control of Richard.

City of Saints

## **Goldflow Valley**

One could say the Goldflow Valley was nominally under his control now, but Cyrden had never returned to Norland to pledge his allegiance. While Richard was aware that the situation in the plane was an issue as well, and Asiris had made himself available whenever needed, he still had no idea about the actual scenario there. He had sent nearly a million gold’s worth in all sorts of resources there, but there wasn’t any good news at all.

contains a huge amount of special ores.

need high level warriors to mine

## **Boulder Highlands**

Formerly occupied by Ward before Richard headed over and took over the plane. The specialty of the place was the energy crystals below.

## Trivia

* Gained four additional planes from the Brahms Marquisette.
* Gained three top-tier planes from the Elven Empire. Unlike humans who spread out, the elves were famous for thoroughly controlling a small number of powerful planes. They held absolute control over the locals in each location, forcing them into endless labour to feed a perfect resource-generating machine. Anyone with these planes would make money doing basically nothing.
	+ The income from any one of these resource planes was more than 100 million gold a year, more than double what Richard made even from Faelor. Of course, the Dragon Plane had higher overall potential and Goldflow Valley would get to such a point as well, but even with the point buy system the Archerons couldn’t ignore this huge influx of resources. This was enough money to support 300,000 elites— each a fully-equipped level 12 soldier. This was enough to lay waste to an entire empire!
	+ Most of the resources on these three planes were extremely useful, from things as simple as high-quality iron ore and a special metal used for bows and arrowheads, but they were all enormous in quantity. Even if most of the initial processing was taken care of within the planes themselves, they would still need to transport thousands of tonnes of materials to the outside. The astral chrysalis was the best way to solve this problem, but it was a special unit from the broodmother and couldn’t be remade so easily.
