Lunia

Lunia is the first and lowest layer of the Outer Plane of Mount Celestia. It is sometimes called the Silver Sea, after its great ocean.

Geography

Lunia is a large mountain sparsely covered with citadels of white stone, atop white cliffs, and with the palaces of minor deities. Visitors report different architectural styles for these citadels. Some of the citadels are located on mountain peaks, some of which are miles long. Trading towns also dot Lunia, and sea elves from the Material plane are commonly found engaged in trade there. Lunia is the first of seven separate mountains that are all a part of a single mountain chain. To reach the next layer/mountain of Celestia, Mercuria, one has to first summit Lunia. It was always night in Lunia, but the dark sky is full of silver stars collectively so bright that a moon is not needed to provide light, and the temperature is like that of a summer's night. Most of the portal connections from other planes come into this layer. Some insist this is the only way to enter the greater plane. Most of those arriving by such a means find themselves plunging into a vast ocean of clean and fresh holy water, called the Silver Sea or the Silvery Sea, somewhere in the shallower waters near the shore. These waters are salt-free and pleasantly sweet and had the appearance of dark wine. The crashing of the waves on the shore in calm weather reminds some of chimes or the tolling of bells. During stormy weather, the sound is like that of thunder. The Silver Sea contains all manner of sea life, from schools of tiny silver fish, to sea elves, dolphins, and celestial whales, to giant creatures of the deep. In calm weather, some of these creatures can be heard singing songs of praise toward the archons. Those who cannot not swim are quick to be rescued by the zoveri and led to shore —assuming they are not a kind of creature harmed by holy water. To reach Lunia with the plane shift spell requires a gold planar fork tuned to the note of D.
