Catala and the Sage of Catala
This realm is a bastion of Order in the midst of Chaos. It is a little over 400 square miles large and is slightly oval shaped. The rim is surrounded by several hundred yards of densely packed forests. The center area is a well-manicured garden maze of hedges and flowering plants. Hundreds of small sitting areas are found in the maze, each unique with fountains, statues, central trees, bowers, pocket gardens and topiary displays.
In the largest open place is a watery area with a single dwelling that has outcroppings over the pools and streams that surround the estate. This building is a sprawling mansion of exquisite design that Frank Lloyd Right would think he must have designed.

The Sage of Catala
The Sage of Catala lives in this manse and his servants tend to the garden as well as his needs. This Lord of Chaos holds one of the best known Shards of Paragon. It retains somewhere between a 10th and a 15th of the original Sigil.
He fancies himself removed from the battles of Law and Order. He does not mind visitors and he is a cordial host but it is not easy to get to him.
Since the realm floats deep in the seas of Chaos it has been the choice of the High Lords of Chaos to leave the Sage alone in his bastion. Then again he is the repository of a mighty realm's knowledge and power. They might feel it safer to leave him alone.
