Krigala
Krigala is the first and topmost layer of the Outer Plane of The Beastlands.
Geography
Krigala is a heavily forested layer with trees of all sorts of varieties. The main way in which Krigala differs from the other two layers is its sky. It is perpetually noon in Krigala, with the bright sun directly overhead and never moving. The sun appears to be at its highest point in the sky no matter how far one might travel. Time does pass, but the sun gives no indication of this; instead, time can be tracked by the fact that precipitation of some form falls exactly once per twenty-four hour period.
Despite the fact that it is always midday, the layer has a variety of climates. Some regions are covered in fog; others even have snow. For the most part, however, it is just warm enough for all of the vast plant life.
The River Oceanus flows through the center of Krigala in a relatively straight path. When the river does curve, bayous and oxbow lakes are formed. Some of the largest trees are able to bridge the river with their massive branches. The current is strong, and where it flows from Elysium and to Arborea, the river is marked by white-water rapids.
It is possible to physically move from Krigala to Brux, the second plane, however such portals are invisible and seemingly random. The layers overlap each other in a similar manner to how the Ethereal Plane overlaps the Prime Material plane, so one could be walking beneath an archway formed by a large branch and suddenly find themself in the twilight of Brux instead of the eternal day of Krigala without any other change in the immediate environment. The interlayer portals also tend to be one way, so turning around to walk back under that same branch would not likely return the noonday sun. Fortunately, interlayer portals are very common, so it is not too difficult to find an alternate path back to Krigala.
Portals to Arborea and Elysium are also present, usually appearing as openings in large, hollow trees. The same type of tree always leads to the same plane. For example, silver-plated beech trees that are portals always lead to Arborea, as did lightning-blasted oaks. Sequoias connected to Elysium. The portals shift frequently, so what used to be a portal on one day might be nothing but a dead tree on another.
To reach Krigala with the plane shift spell required a gold planar fork tuned to the note of F.
