I have spent much of my life exploring the Savage Coast, discovering its history and learning its secrets. I saw the effects of the Red Curse before most people knew of it-and I saw the results when the curse spread to all parts of this beautiful expanse. I have undertaken the task of creating a history of the Red Curse, from theories about its origins to descriptions of its varied effects. I will describe the history of the Inheritors, those people who have learned to manipulate the powers of the curse, and I will tell of our efforts to end the reign of the curse. I do this for the people of the Savage Coast, so that should my efforts end in failure, they might learn, and through perseverance, find a way to terminate the affliction that now dominates and diminishes this region. I will attempt to describe the nations of the coast and the peoples of those nations in order to show what the coast was like before the coming of the curse. Most importantly, I will try find a way to lift the ruby darkness from our homes.

  • Planescape Part One: Sigil by Cutter
    Planescape Part One: Sigil By Cutter Welcome to Sigil, the City of Doors! The centre of the Planes and the local multiverse too. Sitting on the inside of a giant torus that itself floats above an infinitely tall mountain at the centre of the very plane of neutrality itself – the Concordant Domains of the Outlands. Here neutrality is enforced. Gods are barred from the city, and the Lady of Pain takes very aggressive steps to make sure nobody drags Sigil into the troubles outside. It is even a haven from the Blood War. Unfortunately, this means many, many criminals and troublemakers from outside land come here as a last resort. ‘Course, not everyone’s here of their own free choice. Sigil’s ridded in doors to other planes, and sometimes a local from outside falls in. What got them in Sigil rarely is what gets them out of Sigil, and they’re stuck here until they find a door back home. These planar doors all throughout Sigil would make it the most valuable place in the multiverse to hold. Master Sigil, you can master the Planes. But the Lady won’t let that happen. Piss her off and the best thing you can hope for is being locked in an extradimensional maze unable to die of age, hunger, or thirst. The unlucky ones get flayed alive in an instant. But on the bright side, you’ll see all kinds of things in Sigil. A devil and a demon (don’t call ‘em that, trust me) having friendly drinks in a bar.
