It's original and enables to have an evil setting coterminous with a normal setting.If it would be my own setting, I would do it that way:1) All races emigrated to the mountains, including elves. Now, elves, dwarves, etc., all had to adapt to their new environment, so I would use Ice Elves and Fire Dwarves variant types from Unearthed Arcana (if I am not mistaken, since I have yet to get that rulebook).2) These mountains are some kind of Islands in a sea of clouds, and would be (at least vaguely) inspired from Tibet. There, priests, with their create food spells, and ability to turn undead would have become some kind of (good) theocracy. 3) In the dark lands below, there is no more light, so there is doubtly still normal vegetation. I suggest twisted vegetation such as carnivorous plants. Furthermore, there is frequent lightning storms which are the only source of (brief) illumination in these glooms. These storms are also magical, and have brought many sorts of weirdness, explaining many aberration monsters that roam the world instead of normal animals. Finally, undead are legions in this dark place, but they fear light thus rarely come to the places above clouds.4) Going to the land below the clouds could be more than adventuring in the above clouds society:- Rite of passage to a certain elevated status requires to go under the clouds seek and recover some ancient artifacts that will be used by the community.- Banishment of criminals, or those who reject the harsh caste system of society, or whatever.- Society requires certain substances or material that is found only in the land below the clouds, so some people make their living going there. As such, there is an appropriate prestige class.Etc.I suggest other people on this forum add their suggestions to this idea f setting.</blockquote>
