A planar prison for powerful evil beings, conceptually similar to Carceri but run by a separate authority. Cannot be left by plane shift — the only way out is forward, through a chain of gem-keyed portals. The party is trapped here at the end of the recorded sessions.
History
- The party steps through a one-way portal from the cult complex and arrives on a frozen, blizzard-swept mountaintop within the Nexus 2021-10-19 @ 03:08:00.
- Identified via a knowledge check, boosted by ambient knowledge the party seems to absorb just from being there 2021-11-02 @ 00:18:18–00:19:54.
- Confirmed the party cannot plane shift or backtrack out; they must advance through a chain of gem-keyed portals, tracked by the Locate Portal Sextant 2021-11-02 @ 02:03:53–02:30:02.
- An angelic-inscribed circle near the arrival portal names several other regions of (or connected to) the Nexus: floating islands, a sunken location, a mountain range, “the scorch,” an ocean of storms, “the twisting,” a jungle of secrets, “the empty quarter,” and ivory walls 2021-11-02 @ 02:33:53.
Unresolved
The campaign’s recorded sessions end with the party still trapped in the Nexus, resting before pushing toward a suspected fiery plane next.
