It occurred to me that you guys—the patrons—might not be as up-to-date on where everything is these days, especially if you’re still referencing the old Archives. Don’t worry—I’m sharing this on the AND Channel so my friends can’t see it, either. I… haven’t figured out how to explain the whole “multiple Universes” thing to them yet. But! That’s a problem for later, right? Right now, you guys need to catch up on the new layout we’re working with!
So, we still have the Flipside, as usual. Our Cafe is in Klamath Falls, Oregon, though we usually serve coffee all along the West Coast. In our Universe, the Flipside was also originally called Arcadia, and it’s pretty normal overall. We do have an extra continent now—Te Riu-a-Māui—but that’s no big deal.
Then there’s the Otherside, now condensed into three Planes: the Upside, Midside, and Downside. Each Plane is centered around a Core, which are Eden, Skald, and Keris, respectively.
- Eden is ruled by Eve and her oldest child, Belphegor. Its subregions are Morningstar, Infernus, Avalon, and Duat. Morningstar is ruled by Eve’s son, Lucifer, and is the Authority of Eden. Infernus, ruled by Eve’s daughter, * Mammon, is its Commonwealth. Morningstar and Infernus also have an Allegiance with the Isles of Avalon. Duat, known as the “Wilds” of Eden, isn’t governed by Eve but by Anubis.
- Skald is ruled by Eve’s on-and-off again husband, Abraxas. Skald’s surrounding territories include the fortress of Dominion, the forests of Thorn, the peaks of Olympus, and the Nine Realms. Dominion, ruled by Satan, another of Eve’s sons, is Skald’s Authority, while Thorn, ruled by Beelzebub, one of Eve’s daughters, is its Commonwealth. These two regions have an Allegiance with Olympus and the Olympian and Chthonic Gods. The Wilds of Skald are the Nine Realms—Niflheim, Muspelheim, Asgard, Vanaheim, Alfheim, Jotunheim, Midgard, Nidavellir, and Hel—overseen by Odin.
- Keris is ruled by Astaroth, the youngest child of Eve and Abraxas, and the Demon Prince of Creation. The core territories around Keris are Amaymon and the grand Mayda lake, along with Nightmarch and Achegloom. Mayda, ruled by Eve’s daughter, Leviathan, serves as the Authority of Keris, while Amaymon, a sprawling land of the dead, is its Commonwealth and ruled over by Eve’s son, Asmodeus. In Allegiance with Mayda and Amaymon is Nightmarch, home to Yokai, Kami, and Oni. At the edge of Keris lies the wilds of Achegloom, a realm of eternally hungry spirits governed by twelve High Achelords
And then there’s the Between—a prison created by Abraxas and Lilith. At its core is the Colorless, from which stretch four realms: the Teal, the Red, the Black, and the Pale.
- The Teal, overseen by Eisheth, is a prison for lower-security Elders and Pseudohumanoids. These prisoners aren’t typically violent but are still dangerous in their own right.
- The Red, managed by Ardat, holds the high-security, violent types: boogeymen, dangerous Otherside killers, and sadistic non-humanoid Elders.
- The Black, overseen by Naamah, is reserved for massive, unearthly beasts and monsters, which lumber in a pitch-black void.
- The Pale, managed by Hope, is the most twisted realm, a decaying, rotting domain full of the least humanoid of the Elder prisoners.
