The Non-Canonical Demiplane

The Ladies' Hiking Club has had two occasions to visit an unusual demiplane.

Loot!

The Ladies were able to remove quite a haul from the Chamber of Non-Canonical Events, including Vega's now-iconic red-fur +1 Flail, seemingly constructed from the fur of the fire-breathing sweetheart pup. Cherry recovered a number of exotic spices, large cans of food, and a giant bottle of wine, none of which have been used or otherwise tested. An eye was also recovered from the pie, which has been retroactively identified as an ocular implant that would have the effect of being able to detect a leak of arcane energy from the Green Dream: the energy that can be used to identify Fanny as the phylactery of Naraoch. (This method was also successful with Violet Verihendrion Miller.) It appears, therefore, that some unfortunate mage with an interest in those effects found his or her way into the kitchen and ultimately into the spiced-meat pie.
For her part, Fanny came away with a couple of palm-sized opals that she ultimately swapped for ivory carvings without the knowledge but I mean probably with the implied consent of Matthew Legge, Bridlip's jeweller, and a necromantically charged hair pin that she sold along to The Arcanaeum at (unbeknownst to her) a very steep discount. The creepy basketball knows his business.
Vega also made off with a very old, profoundly reduced and distilled Potion of Animal Friendship that she further refined into an epic-quality version on a successful skill challenge and presented to Chantrelle Pittypat on Stille'en of 866WA.

When its wee mouth opened in shock, Vega seized the key and dropped the bunny on its head, it seemingly having served its purpose. The others, once again, shou                   nny, but the half-hearted apol                               ready back in the buffet room, seething.

Arcane and Planar Interp                             tion

Vega was able to identify a number of the languages and runes in use upon the door leading to the Antechamber. She noted in particular that, in addition to some knotwork from the Autumn Age -- identifiable but completely illegible -- there were other languages that were completely unfamiliar to her, and she had at least a passing familiarity with dozens of written languages.
Another anomaly that jumped out at her was the use of modern Mauldeno in arcane script, invoking some verbiage pertaining to the currents of the Astral Sea. They led her to conclude that the Chamber and the Hall were likely aspects of the same demiplane, overlapping between the Prime Material and the Astral Plane, potentially even invoking a gateway to the Ethereal: the whole thing is a jumble, but an insanely complex and precise one. Several of the phrases in Sylvan seemed to describe circumferences and descriptions of physical objects like minuscule cylinders and hooks.
She has to wonder if this inscription, which wasn't present in the Chamber, explains some of the anomalies in the Hall, including their seeming ability to control the guest list; the fact that their enemies seemed to have died and then presently returned to the buffet, and -- most concerningly of all -- the fact that the events in this chamber are recorded on this wiki page, suggesting that the non-canonical nature of this demiplane has been corrupted somehow, potentially raising (or lowering?) the stakes of the events therein
