The Chaos Lands

Here lies the most extravagant and magical residents within the Petty Kingdoms. In order to gain allies to assist in the fight against the Blight, King Markus the Defender and his magicians tore the unreal, paradoxical Chaos Lands from beyond the Realm and bound the land and its residents to the physical plane. The surprised denizens of the Chaos Lands were initially hesitant to help, but once the threat of the Blight was explained to them, they eagerly stayed to help. Several of the timeless beings who reside in the Chaos Lands served alongside King Markus a thousand years ago.

The denizens of the Chaos Lands are made up of mostly previously incorporeal and extraplanar beings such as fiends, fae, spirits of the land, or any number of wondrous beings from other planes of existence. Their homes range from enchanted forests to houses that are bigger on the inside. Reality never quite meshed with the chaos, and those that live here relish in it. You will not find very many mortals in this land, and if you think you do, it’s far more likely they are something else in mortal form.

The peoples of the Chaos Lands cannot easily hide their magical nature. Especially amongst those who take human form, their skin becomes marked with curving and swirling lines and symbols. These vary wildly in complexity, patterns and colours. Those who display their magical nature more openly, such as horns, unusual skin tones or feathers, are less likely to show such patterns.

An example of a character from the Chaos Lands would be a Djinn who fulfilled a wish during the First Blight, fighting against it. Now, sensing that some new threat is interfering with that ancient wish, has returned once more to ensure the land is protected.

The appearance of peoples and kingdoms of The Chaos Lands could be inspired by, but should not be limited, to the appearances of: The Fae, Fiends, Spirits of the Land, Celestials, Djinn and Elementals.
