[ Arborea ] [ Arvandor – Olympus | Aquallor – Ossa | Mithardir – Pelion ]
Arvandor — Olympus
Arborea — Layer the First
The EverForest, The Mountain of the Gods
The Ardent Frontier of Arvandor (called Olympus by the Greeks) is one of plains and mountains, forests and savannah, valley and sea. Everything here is larger than life, emotions and coloured amped up to the next level. It’s the plane of Olympian quests, and the Deep Magic of the ancient elves. It’s a place of meddling powers, of mythology written large, and timeless history interacting with the present. It’s a plane where passions run wild, where every tree bears delicious fruit and every plant glorious flowers. It’s the plane of epic stories written large.
