==The Double-Sided World==

The as-yet-unnamed world of this setting is a two-sided disc - planet-sized and circular, with a distinct 'top' and 'bottom' side. The 'bottom' side presumably has normal gravity, but is known to be much harsher and more inhospitable than the 'top' side. (Decision: [http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?761590-D-amp-D-5e-Let-s-build-a-setting!&p=19216996#post19216996] ) The identity of the two sides switches over with a periodicity measured in at least centuries; this appears to be a natural phenomenon whose nature is not well-understood. The last flip was some 700-1000 years ago, so that the earliest histories, the newest legends, and the faded memories of the oldest elves touch on it. (Decisions: [http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?761590-D-amp-D-5e-Let-s-build-a-setting!&p=19226204#post19226204] [http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?761590-D-amp-D-5e-Let-s-build-a-setting!&p=19317929#post19317929]) There's at least one huge pit in the surface of the world which is reputed to be where the elders tried to dig right through it before the [[LetsBuild5e:Religion|races were sundered]]. The edge of the world is virtually unvisited, but is believed to be an endless impassable waterfall, punctuated only by rare mountain islets thrust out into space, as treacherous as they are striking.

Although afflicted with periodic upheavals, the world is rich in resources: there are mundane resources such as iron and oak, magical variants of them such as thunderbolt iron and dryad oak, and non-variant special resources such as adamant and quickwood.
