Amoria
Elysium — Layer the First
The Blessed Fields, the Untroubled, the Bliss of Delight
Character of the Layer: Benevolence, acceptance and welcome
Amoria is the topmost layer of Elysium and is surely one of the most hospitable places in all of the Outer Planes. It closely resembles the Prime with burgs settled along the banks of the River Oceanus, except every way you look the plane dazzles with its peace and beauty. The River is one of the main routes of transportation through the layer, and ships ply Oceanus in both directions trading goods of all kinds. Yggdrasil also extends its branches to Amoria.
Amoria is the most populated layer of Elysium, with many residents utilising boats to travel around the layer. Its seasons are mild, with gentle winters and comfortable summers. Its rolling meadows and woodlands host an enormous variety of wildlife and birds. Even the wild animals are friendly here and will approach gentle travellers for a head scratch or petting. Colours and sounds appear deeper and more intense, yet somehow also restful on the eyes and the mind.
The layer contains the divine realms of Ishtar, Isis and Hathor. It is inhabited by the leaders of the guardinals, who use Amoria to marshal their forces against evil.
