The Maps of Myrist

As mortals cross the astral barrier, the Plane of Fear manifests in physical form, assaulting all of the senses at once. The manifestation does not reveal the plane's true nature, but is a mask that conforms to the various preconceptions of The Faceless' mortal followers. The real appearance of the plane remains an eternal mystery. In fact, many scholars and devout of the Faceless claim that the realm of the Lord of Fear is far too intense for any mortal mind to absorb and comprehend, thus making concealment from mortal eyes a vital necessity.

What appears to the minds of those daring, brave, and likely foolish enough to willingly breach the barrier between the mortal and astral realms is an enormous jungle and swampland of fire and death, marked by graveyards, dark gothic mansions and castles with terrifying dungeons and caverns. The sky lurking above the horrific jungle is a constant haze of crimson that will often rain the very blood of the unfortunates who have fallen victim to The Faceless and his minions – either through sacrifice upon the prime or death within his realm.

The plane is inhabited by grotesque, fearsome creatures of great variety. Each creature is loyal solely to their creator, The Faceless, and serves only his divine will and might. Without hesitation, these frightful denizens of fear often attack in blood-thirsty hordes, mercilessly tearing their victim's forms to unrecognizable piles of flesh, bone, and blood upon which they feast.
