Cast of Characters
Sayaka von Seckendorff. That's me.
Nethys. A half burnt man who says he's a god.
Amaya. An exotic-looking, grey-skinned sorceress with powers over shadow. She carries no weapons.
Taj. A roguish young man with the mannerisms of a snake-oil merchant. Fights with two daggers.
Lodrin (son of Borin). A dwarf. Bearded, stocky, reliable. Devote follower of another god called Abadar.
Malgos. An elf warrior in magnificent plate armor. Wields a large, curved sword just like a No-dachi.
Tad. Not to be confused with Taj. Another human, this one a rough looking survivalist-type with a strange, part-cat-part-dog companion.
Planes
A Planar Primer
What are the planes? It took me a while to understand that people weren't talking about flying machines I remember from before, they were talking about different layers of reality. Like, alternate dimensions and stuff. Pretty crazy. Especially when they overlap.
"Yet even beyond this existence of countless planets exist more worlds—entirely different dimensions of reality known as the planes of existence. Except for rare linking points that allow travel between them, each plane is effectively its own universe with its own natural laws. Collectively, the entirety of these other dimensions and planes is known as the Great Beyond.
"Although the number of planes is limited only by imagination, they can all be categorized into five general types: the Material Plane, the transitive planes, the Inner Planes, the Outer Planes, and the countless demiplanes." Paizo dot com, Pathfinder Core Rulebook
