Only friends of the Eldar get to reside here, under the watchful gaze of Eldar Elluva and protection of Rouse - Lord of Law.

Of course back prior to Orion's disappearance in the early 4th century, Mount Eldahar was more like a military base than holiday resort. Orion surrounded the entire peak with a mental barrier to strong that only the combined might of several dragons managed to penetrate it.

In 2600 though the Mountain is testament to the Eldar's majesty. No one is allowed to dwell within a twenty five mile radius of the mountain's base unless given permission by Eldar Haletha. Save for a couple of Inns (built for the odd visitor or pilgrim from a far away land - The Blue Divide, The Sanctuary and The Tantalos), the land around the mountain is untainted by human hand and as pure and virginal as when first created.

Walking up the mountain, visitors travel upon a brilliant white stone road to a place located exactly halfway up the mountain's southern side. Here several Temples stand dedicated to all known religions and deities, tended by volunteers and servants of the Eldar. A gate of white metal, carved and shaped by the mind of Aphriel into a seemingly living fresco of leaves and intertwining branches bars any further progress up the mountain; beyond this gate the road leads to Elluva's home and the houses of the Eldar Council.

Invasion
On 3 occasions, in the 7th century, 10th and 26th, Mount Eldahar has found itself besieged by the forces of Chaos and Mordark. Only those on the mountain and under Rouse's protection have survived.

The Master Gate
At the top of the Mountain stands the twin black obelisks that are Baphomet's Master Gate. Closed after the Homeland Exodus, these collossal blocks of strange metal remain Mount Eldahar's most heavily guarded place. (See Gates)

Eldar and Federation Artifacts
Within a special vault deep inside the Mountain, reside several dozen ancient and clearly technological objects. Some of them are remnants the Qual civilization whilst others are objects captured from the Federation refugees.

Occasionally Elluva orders them brought forth in Mount Eldahar's defense.
Note - Many of these objects come directly from Julian May's "Many Colored Land" series.

 

Eldar Magical Objects
Though the Eldar cannot use magic, many of their allies can. This is why the Eldar have accumulated several dozens objects of varying power.
 

Its entrance appears as a plain wooden door, usually in the middle of nowhere. Anyone can walk around the door as it is free standing. However, once opened it is another story entirely; beyond the door is a sky full of stars. Anything passing through it becomes drawn at tremendous speed towards the Star Lodge, to arrive just inside its other planal entrance.

Inside a visitor might find any or all of the following beings, each renowned for his or her wisdom, dedication to preservation and defeat of evil.

1 Cabbos the Star Wizard - specialty in mathematics.
2 Shiene, Lady of Stars - wielding her Star Rings as weapons for the Light.
3 Lantri, alias the Lady of Night. Daughter of Thenox who dwelt in Darkness and founded Hell.
4 Ellenna of Dina. RIP 2601
5 Deva - Ghostly sister of K'dina and ex-priestess of Luna. RIP 2602
6 Chiron Storm bringer of Berthain. RIP 2602
7 D'einen Lore of the Black Elves. Taken to Alternate Eldahar.
8 Trojan, Chronicler of Legends. RIP 2602 - Mordark. 

After two hundred successful years in operation, Silverkeep was given into the keeping of the High King's loyal general, Elistar Hawk (a devout believer in Ortha and Linda). Thus from 2354 onwards, Silverkeep remained in the hands of the Hawk's.

Where magic and science combine to send an entire
skyscraper traveling through Eternium's Realms of Reality

The brainchild of a mad genius and half Vampire called Kalath, the Soul Sanctuary is exactly that - a Sanctuary for Souls. In Eternium's original Timeline, the year 1271, Kalath intended on his creation surviving a pre planned apocalyptic invasion.

Making a deal with Chaos to exchange all the souls of Eternium's human population with the souls of demons and vice versa in one single moment, Kalath built the Sanctuary as a way of protecting himself from the soul swap and anyone else inside.

Literally a Sanctuary for Souls, the building is interlaced throughout with a race and dense material called Duridium. When charged with energy the Duridium acts as a gigantic resonator that can be controlled and "plucked" to any frequency. Kalath had discovered many years before through experimentation with energy frequencies that particular resonance's made for unstable planal boundaries - in short, he realized that he could send an entire building through the planes and back again.

The Sanctuary has 44 floors above ground level and 18 below. It's central core lies suspended in a shaft that drops down one mile into the ground. Should the core destabilize, Kalath can order the entire thing jettisoned down the shaft.

Able to house and provide for up to 1200 men and women, the Sanctuary building contains some of the most advanced magical and technological weaponry known to man.

Kalath's vision of the Sanctuary was that it would be a monument of history and time. He intended for it to contain the best of everything - the best art, the greatest treasures and the most rare and gifted individuals.

Eastern Daas

Dark Sea is a vast, chaotically structured complex of underground tunnels, passageways and chambers in Northeastern Daas. Originally created by the Cabal, the elusive fifth Suraanese school of magic, who dedicated their time to the exploration of the human Soul, at its height, Dark Sea covered an area of some 15 square miles in size with an elementally created tunnel spanning 200 miles into the Heart of the Suraanese Empire - designed as an experimental underground road for the armies of Daas to move too and fro without being noticed. If the tunnel had been a success and disaster had not befallen the complex and its mage priests, similar tunnels would have been created going under other countries.

The Cabal experimented in various spiritual abilities but it was in the creation of gateways and their understanding of the physical, ethereal and astral planes that they excelled.

The Cabal studied the World Gateways (those Gates created by Baphomet leading to other Realms across the void) and created / manufactured their very own version. However by doing so they unleashed a veritable pandora's box of troubles upon Daas and Suraan, resulting in their eventual destruction circa 1430.

1800. The Priests of Wan use the Keystone of Soloman to trap the Living Dark and prevent it from growing in power. However one of the Living Dark's 3 Kings makes contact with Laylan Forfin, choosing him to be one of Dark's 3 Living Gateways and a channeler of the Dark's spiritual energy.

From this point on only the Doman's are allowed to enter.

2600. 800 years later the Keystone runs out of power and the Living Dark breaks free. It chooses a second being to act as a Gateway and vessel of its power. This time it chooses the young girl Kerri Dhwen. Laylak destroys the hill of Wan and unwittingly makes the High Doman of Wan half immortal.

The Doman continues his exploration of Dark Sea, unearthing many of the "lost" and forgotton chambers of old. Among these are a chair that allows anyone sitting on it to shift their spirit out of their body and onto the ethereal plane, an animated bone golem sparring partner, a magical metal seal holding back enough lava to completely flood Dark Sea and a mystical vault guarded by one of the most powerful creatures to exist; a Jixiliah.

Here in the Temple, creatures of all races can remember what it is to have a life and values. But most importantly they can remember the nature of Humanity as after centuries of torment in Daig, even the strongest and most intelligent of souls will de-evolve to become beast-like.

Legend has it, that at the very edge of the World, at the end of all Dreams, at the last moment in Time and the final resting place of creation, there exists a castle like but unlike any that have come before it.

this castle is the Castle at the End of the World and it shifts and changes with the ebb and flow of all ends.

always partially eclipsed in utter darkness, the castle exists part realised and part not; hence it never truly 100% exists. This unique position in the scheme of things make it less a part of Reality and more a part of the Unknown.

Things can happen there that couldn't happen anywhere else as the Castle touches all ends, everywhere. It is a link to the countless Realms and Planes of the Idiom, full of possibilities and an equal number of dead ends.

It is a perilous place, with shifting currents of void able to consume the unwary travelor. But it is also a place of mystery and mysticism, binding Id's together through a common legend - after all, how many World's have an End? Perhaps all.

Living in Eldahar's Castle at the End is Miriadra, the Spinner of Dreams - A strange and alluring woman who always hides her face beneath a heavy hood. Miriadra has dwelt in the castle for a very long time - so long in fact, that the Castle has claimed it's price of her. Miriadra could never live now outside of the Castle and it's many oddities. The Castle is her home and the voices that haunt her mind are from the many split incarnations of her that reside on other ids.

---

Miriadra exists in hundreds of Incarnations across the Idiom with each Incarnation dwelling at the "End of the World" or its direct equivalent. Her mind is a living gateway between Realities, allowing her to dream of far off places and actually send beings there.

Surrounded by Cliffs that are impossible to climb and literally sky-high, the Plane of Purgatory is one of the smallest, but most secure sub-planes of Eldahar's Dreamland.

Existing as a neutral place between Elondil and Daig (Heaven and Hell) it has quite a small population of Souls (around 1000).

Only Souls that are in Balance / dead Neutral alignment, can enter Purgatory. The only exception to this is the Immortals of Purgatory, many of whom have Castles or other homes in the Grey.

The Rulers of Purgatory are by default - The Lord and Lady of the Grey. Their symbol of power is the 3 Rings of Weal (aka The Rings of Neutrality). These Rings embue the Lord and Lady with Dominion over Purgatory and Mastery over its Plane.

Approaching Purgatory

There are several ways of reaching Purgatory ;-

When someone dies but has a perfect balance of Good and Evil on their soul, the World calls the Immortal of Death to personally weigh them and escort them to the After-life. Every now and then, even Death's precise instruments cannot  weigh the soul as the Balance is too fine. When this happens, Death escorts the dis-embodied soul to Purgatory where it spends the rest of Eternity.

Another way of reaching Purgatory is by crossing the Sea of Dissolution. This sea is a turbalent and dangerous place that is capable of dissolving all types of matter. At the base of Purgatory's cliffs lies the Shore of Dissolution. The Sea washes all manner of "echo's" against the cliffs. Fragments of furniture, lost memories, snippets of song, pieces of clothing, discarded cups, lumps of timber and so on.
