Radrathron
(Realm; Limbo)
written by Heiner de Wendt
Character. It's true that the multiverse is nothing bad madness.
It's wrong to give in to desperation because of it, though. Instead, one should enjoy this madness, dive into the insane weirdness and
have fun with it. If you don't agree, that's your problem, berk.
Power. Dra'on, Eternal General of No Armies, Duke of the Drunken,
God of a Billion Journeys. Chant has it Dra'on belongs to the race from which both githzerai and githyanki developed, and has ascended
to godhood far before Gith was even born.
Description. Radrathron is, at first glance, a city of buildings
created with a thousand different materials, all placed into a gargantuan fortress. Chant has it each petitioner of Dra'on gets a
building of his own within this city, though not all want these buildings at all. So, there's a good bunch of empty buildings, while
some cutters here own several. For approximately every twenty petitioners here there's a tavern,
also belonging to one of the petitioners (sometimes to several of them). The whole city seems to be a place of gamblers and drinkers, in which
outsiders are welcomed only if they take part in the whole thing. People here don't really care about anything, except having fun.
Dra'on, God of a Billion Journeys, often creates interplanar portals, letting his petitioners unexpectedly end up in places all over the
multiverse. These portals also often work the other way round, bringing in people to Radrathron from countless different places.
Since these portals only open up for a few seconds, the poor sods end up stranded in a place of barmies who're actually happy about being
barmy, and try to convince everyone into joining their barminess. Drives most of 'em barmy, sooner or later.
Principal Towns. Hey berk, Radrathron IS a town.
Special Conditions. All visitors here have a 1% chance every day of
being sucked into a suddenly appearing portal, ending up anywhere in the planes. For petitioners, this chance is at about 1% chance per
decade. Berks who got sucked into this realm by the power have a problem even if they're able to cast
powerful spells. Teleportation and any other spells able to transport a cutter someplace else only
work if used to reach another point in the realm. This is only true for people who got sucked in by Dra'on, while others can cast their
spells under Limbo's normal magical conditions.
Principal Non-player Characters. Barmy
the Mad (Px/male githzerai/
Wild Mage 16/Xaositects/CN) is Dra'on's politically most important proxy. While he's got no special powers or anything, one should
think twice before acting against him, for it seems Dra'on has taken a special liking to this blood, who doesn't have his name for
nothing. Barmy the Mad goes talking to any important visitors, be it the leaders of an army of githzerai who want to stay in town for
some time, or the proxies of other gods, or whatever else. Barmy's also said to be extremely interested in beautiful humanoid ladies,
and some say he's got more children than the Lady's got dabus (though he probably doesn't know about many of them).
Services. First off, you'll find the strongest ale of the planes
in this realm. The "Ale of the Drunken God" is said to literally have kicked Zeus, ruler of the Greek pantheon, from his chair as
he tasted it. He received it as a gift from Dra'on, who promised Zeus a truly new experience - and it seems Zeus agreed. While the
two gods aren't really friends, they sometimes visit each other, or at least send their proxies to the other god's realm.
Visitors should be warned, for this ale is served in all the inns, and while never lethal, it has made many a basher drunken for the
rest of his life. It's said to taste really good, though.
