Asphodel

A land of beige and muted colours, similar to the colour palette of the late 1980's early 1990's, Asphodel is the chthonic land of those who ascribe to the Hellene point of view. It's a dour and unexciting place, filled with old but not antique furniture, and one too many ping pong tables.    The normal dead, it seems, like ping pong and the trappings of 'the basic bitch'.    While Persephone Kore Chthonia spends a fair chunk of time walking through Asphodel, it is known more widely as 'that place people go through without sticking about'... unless a person died without any renown, a forgettable life and forgotten death as one of the multitude of 'eh, it was a living' people.

Geography

Rolling hills not quite large enough for sledding or skiing, a lake not quite deep enough for a swim, light not quite bright enough to read a good book. Asphodel is the land of missed chances.

Ecosystem

Everything is dead.

Climate

Almost pleasant enough to not need a light jacket.

History

Where else were they going to put the scores of dead, who did no heroics or found no renown? Store them in the middle, jiggle them about until they forgot themselves, then invent this game called 'cribbage' to keep them occupied.

Tourism

None in their right or wrong mind would want the boredom of Asphodel to rub off on them long enough to visit.
