Welcome to Zak’s Trigate Obsidian Vault!
As you navigate, there is a sort of language to the links. By looking at them and seeing the symbols and colors, it will give you a better idea of what something is.
Factions are represented by a hex icon, with the more full it is being an indicator of the six tiers.
One of the largest factions has a unique color to it, so The Planar Council looks like this. The other panplanar faction, The Recreancy, looks similar but with a different color. Descending in the size of their reach, you would for example have the following:
Terrus is one of the many planes that makes up the setting, and belongs to the Planar Council as a faction, hence the blue color. This would be opposed to, say, Porré, which belongs to the Recreancy and has a red color.
Each location has the potential to be filled with Flora and Fauna. Sometimes they may have life, with sophonts such as Humans or Laughing Elves potentially having their own civilizations. They speak their own Languages, have their own Cultures and Religions. Of course, there are numerous Events that make up the past of the setting.
I won’t cover them all here, but it will be available elsewhere should you need it!
