Mechanus

On Mechanus, law is reflected in a realm of clockwork gears, all interlocked and turning according to their measure. The cogs seem to be engaged in a calculation so vast that no deity can fathom its purpose. Mechanus embodies absolute order, and its influence can be felt on those who spend time here.

Geography

This plane is filled with an infinite number of country-sized circular interlocking gears which are habitable on one or both sides. These great flat wheels are at least 1,000 miles in diameter and have teeth that mesh at right angles, all turning slowly in synchronicity. Each disk has its own gravity that operates in a sphere circumscribing it exactly and pulling normal to the top and bottom surfaces. The void between the gears is filled with air, allowing easy flight. Outside a gravity sphere, objects would feel only very weak attraction to nearby disks.
A plane of Law and order, Mechanus had equal amounts of light and dark, heat and cold, and equal measures of the four elements. There is a place for everything and everything is in its place.

Fauna & Flora

Even individuals living here exist to fit into the greater scheme of things and thus achieve a perfect society. There is no pain, but the only pleasure is in successfully filling a role like a gear in a machine. Passion, fantasy, and illusion do not exist here, except for what might be brought in by visitors, and any who try to foment individualism or stir passions for a cause soon find they are not well received. Modrons are the primary inhabitants of Mechanus.
