They have to live and breaththe seven sins so after called home - to our world - by the sevenmystics they can use their sinful characteristics to gain power on ourearth as the mytics discovered that the rulers of mankind are always themost corrupt, most selfish and so on men and women.There are seven planes.Luxuria-------This plane is broadly underworld. A warm to hot and stuffy placetraversed by little steams and some lakes, where the most plants andeven the water have some drug like effects. You can find in the vastcaves many things to eat, places where it is cold are rare.Many underworld beasts are living here - some dangerous some not - andintelligent beings are dark dwarfs, dark elves and tieflings amongmany others who developed a culture where adultery, bestiality and rapeplay a big role in the society.As you can see, the theme of this Plane is "Lust". But as with any otherplanes the other sins are playing a role here, too. For example Wrathcan be playing a greater role in some adventures as the players bringthis over a clan of dwarfs or elves after one of them has committed arape.The men and women who were sent here have to learn that the "Masteryover the flesh" is one of the paths to reign.Gula----Try to imagine a sub-tropical land with fully intact nature and at theedges great mountains with cold crests.A land which gives its inhabitants many things to eat and consume, andeat and consume. Ad infinitum.This is Gula. The plane of Gluttony.Avaritia--------A land of endless hills, many forests and thousand lakes where everyimaginable and unimaginable element can be found is Avaritia.As a land which gives many things to its inhabitants to enrich themselfs- silver, gold, diamonds and many thingsmore - Avaritia is the plane ofGreed.Acedia------This is a plane of a vast and (it seems so) endlessly forest. Thisforest is inhabited by many plants and fruits, many eatable animals andwonderful rivers with fresh water. A very median climate with regularrains gives a place where living is easy as possible.This plane is the plane of Laziness and Sloth. To survive here means tobring others to hunt and collect for yourself as everyone tries this tofind maximum comfort.The mystics want the people to learn that only with Charisma and lettingothers do what you should do you can really reign.Ira---Ira is an ice desert with some grass steppes sprinkled in.Where the grass steppes have more milder weather they are coldnevertheless. On Ira it is unfriendly and even antagonistic to life.To survive here means to take what others have. And because these otherstry to protect their things it means to bring real wrath over them toget their things (meals, wears, houses, places).Ira is the plane of Wrath.The mystics want to teach the "Way of the fist" which each ruler has tomaster and use to really reign.Invidia-------A vast and endless ocean with thousands of islands of which some arecold with big mountains with many elemental richness and some havetropical forests with many things you need to feed yourself. Someislands are closer to another and some have many, many sea miles betweenthem. This is Invidia.The plane of Envy.Superbia--------A magical land of great and hot deserts with many oases, thick and denseforests, rivers of honey, lakes of gold, mystical fountains of whichsome give health and longer life and many more magical places (Imagine aFantasy Africa) is Superbia - tha plane of Pride -.Design Notes:I am using the seven sins as the base for themes and mood for the planesbecause the most players of RPGs (at least ) know Christianity and manyartist wrote and drew very popular artistic things about the sins (forexample Divine Comedy).Then it is easy to come up with good descriptions for places on theplanes and inhabitants of the planes. And with this adventure ideas arealso easier to come up with.TODO:Give detailed examples of places of every plane with places whereinhabitants of every race live.Give detailed examples how the inhabitants live on the planes.Also make the cultures and social life clearer.Copyright (c) 2007 sunmaster.Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this documentunder the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-CoverTexts.
