Bytopia

The Twin Paradises of Bytopia were two layers that formed one of the Outer Planes representing alignments between lawful good and neutral good.

No jink for your dinner? No problem. There's a roof that needs fixing — hop to it, lads!

The two layers of this plane were joined at one barrier which happened to span the entire sky at about 10 miles (16km) above sea level. Gravity for each layer was normal for that layer but switched direction as soon as one crossed the barrier. The inhabitants of one layer could look up and see the other layer hanging upside down high overhead. Several mountains reached the crossover point and a few met mountains rising up from the other side, allowing careful climbers a way to reach the other layer. Also the space between layers was filled with air, allowing flight from one side to the other. Each layer glowed with a golden-white light.

Layers

Dothion

Dothion was a bucolic land of old forests and huge meadows subject to mild seasonal changes and gentle weather. The landscape of Dothion was orderly and domesticated. Farms prospered and grew, animals were confined to the properties of their owners, water-powered mills made high-quality flour and meal, mines yielded vast amounts of minerals, canals efficiently brought water everywhere, and roads were well traveled and well kept. Known almost synonymously with the layer was the Golden Fields, which was the home of the Gnome Pantheon.

Shurrock

Across the barrier, Shurrock had much the same landscape features but much harsher weather: summers were hot and winters were long and cold. Storms were more common here, with booming thunder and heavy rains. Life on the Shurrock side was more challenging and kept the inhabitants busy, but both sides were virtuously industrious. Shurrock had an abundance of raw materials. As in Dothion, Shurrock was a place of hard work and satisfaction from a job well done, but instead of taming the land, work on Shurrock focused on the extraction of natural resources.

Inhabitants

The animals in the Twin Paradises were sentient with average intelligence or above, but did not have the ability to speak. Otherwise, most types of typical creatures of the upper planes could be found here.
