The Mirror Plane:
Not like the book. The Mirror Plane is an exact duplicate of our world, only reveresed. If you are a mage in the Material Plane, more than likely you will be a fighter of some sort on the Mirror Plane.
The Dream Plane:
This is where Morpheus keeps home when he isnt in the Palace or the Material. He rules the dreams while Talos rules the Lands of the Nightmares.
The Illihon Plane:
This is where the Olde Gods used to reside. It appears abbandoned but whoever is here always feels like they are being watched and can hear something approaching in the distance though it never arrives. It just sounds as if its getting closer. Illihon means 'The Dark Mind'. This realm is much like a Lovecraftian nightmare.
The Palace Plane:
The Palace. This is where all the current gods come to sit and talk and decide what to do with certain followers. Its a large hall with many chairs where they sit. There are several other rooms off the main meeting room but no one really knows what lies in there.

Divine History
In times past on Ulithelid, Illithiad meaning Noble Conquerer, the Illithiads were the dominate race. They had 13 gods who vied for power but stayed realtivly within the same power structure. They were a loose affiliation. They were independant of their powers and could only die if a certain task were performed for the each of these horrific gods. They stayed off of Ulithelid but watched from their lofty homes in Illihon, a far off plane. The Illithiads worshipped them out of gratitude for they were indifferent to the Illithiads. The humans, who had a little of their minds left, worshipped them out of fear.
One day a powerful group arrived. They took on the squid-like creatures and banished them to the far reaches where they would never return. Many newcomers died while all 13 Illithiad gods survived. The only remaining Gods were Arioche, a spider goddess, and Morpheus, a teenaged god of dreams. Morpheus was very much dark and broody and Arioche pretty much looked after him as his mother and father died in the Illithiad God War. He put everyone to sleep on Ulithelid while Arioche, the Weaver as she was called, respun the world to trap the Illithiads inside it.
Morpheus then spoke to the sleeping inhabitants in their dreams. He told them it was now ok and safe for them to have families as their threat and enemy were gone. The humans awoke and Morpheus dubbed a set group of humans to live long lives and never sleep. He called them Aelfin. Arioche created a sect of humans and was going to turn them into spider-like creature so they would be quick and see better in the dark, but she succeeded in stunting them instead. They inhabited the mountains and harvested ores and gems keeping their ears to the earth to listen for the awakening Illithiads. She called them Dwarves. The humans renamed the world, Ry'ia, forever forgetting the horrors of Ulithelid, but, still passing down the stories until they were lost or passed off as mere fairy tales.
Arioche and Morpheus know of an artifact called the Xaos stone. The Illithiads had it on their plane and they went to retrieve it after the war. It was said to be a perfect crystal of rainbow colors about 1/2 a foot wide and 2 feet long.
The brought it back to the newly named Ry'ia and then to Arioche's and Morpheus' dwellng place, The Palace. A plane where they sat and watched Ry'ia grow and helped the people.
For the longest time it was Morpheus and Arioche who ruled the universe. Until Arioche grew bitter. She gre bitter because when the new gods came to Ulithelid, only Morpheus and his family had innate divinity. The other gods that accompanied them were imparted with divinty. When everyone died in the war against the olde gods, only Morpheus and Arichoe were left standing. She grew bitter because she didn’t want to take orders from some young kid.
So she scoured the lands for followers appearing as a beautiful female elf of inky blackness. Fitting, as she was always in space weaving and creating. She found haflings, gnomes, dwarves and even some elves to worship her. She retreated with them to the Underground, where she knew the location of the Illithiads should she need them. She wanted all the Divine Power for herself.
But Morpheus, although young, was all too wise. He scoured the countryside and the world for people who would be willing to help him. Some stayed loyal. Others who got the taste of power decided to help only themselves. Morpheus couldn’t take their powers away so he let them be but they know he’s in charge.
Arioche stole into the Palace one eve under the guise of night and tried to steal the Xaos stone, for its power was to recreate the world in the holders image. But it was gone and Morpheus stood their looking angry.
"I have shattered it and scattered it across the world in 7 pieces. Only when they are rejoined with they hold the power they once did. They are being guarded by chosen who will keep them hidden. They will exchange hands every so often so you will not geth them Arioche."
The Weaver left the Palace and Morpheus went back to the Chamber of Sleep.
The 7 shards were placed with a new group emerging in the world, the Callers. Some called them Callers, others called them Summoners and even others called them Conjurers. Tribes, Clans and even Caller cities were springing up and it was them who had the shards. Aelfin callers, human callers, dwarven callers, there were callers of all shapes and sizes.
The Xaos shards were distrubuted to 7 different clans. The garnet stone of Anger and Temperance; the amethyst stone of Lust and Prudence; the amber stone of Sloth and Fortitude; the opal stone of Gluttony and Hope; the saphire stone of Pride and Faith; the emerald stone of Greed and Charity and the diamond stone of Envy and Justice.
When combined, they create the perfect, unflawed crystal; the Xaos stone. A stone that could unravel the world and re-create it to its holders whim.
But many years have passed and these are all but myths. Technology is somewhat existant and magic prevails. Some nations harness the powers of magic and technology into what is called Magi-tek and some nations have banished magic all together and use nothing but machines who run on steam, called, Mach-team (mash-team).
