Eronia
Elysium — Layer the Second
The Singing Mountains, the Land of Rugged Peace, the Bliss of Wonder
Character of the Layer: Shelter, raw natural beauty, and hospitality
Eronia is a rugged mountainous layer of hills and jagged peaks, topped by brightly lit clouds and surrounded by valleys of white granite. The spectacular vistas that visitors will experience from the high mountain passes has led to Eronia being dubbed the Bliss of Wonder. On this layer, the weather is much more severe than Amoria, with violent windstorms, blizzards of snow, and lightning being common. The seasons are more extreme with bitter winters and hot summers.
The Great River Oceanus cuts through the mountains in a winding pattern, carving breathtaking canyons and gorges, bubbling into whitewater rapids and cascades. It is fed by waterfalls which scatter the light into rainbows. Navigating Oceanus at this point is perilous, and can only be done safely by experienced boatfolk, who call themselves ‘river rats’. Yggdrasil the World Ash also touches this layer with its searching branches.
Eronia is the plane of fierce passion about the importance of peace, of security and defending the underdog.
