Discord

TW: Arachnophobia

Discord can be accurately described as destructive, with a twisted landscape full of danger, chaos, and loud noise. Webbing lines most rock faces within the canyon decorated it in a nightmarish pattern. From stories long told, Discord has been home to the kucoon, an alien spider species as big as a house. Anyone who has entered the realm must be ready on their feet or they won't survive the next twelve hours. And don't trust the pretty ruby gems you may see lying around... they may have a mind of their own.

Hm... Historical records indicate that this place was once inhabitable, but I don't see how. Everything is covered in sticky webs and then... those beasts come out of nowhere, seemingly hungry for my flesh. I have to jot everything down while I can, before one of those thi-

Geography

The landscaping is cracked and barren — a wasteland that was once full of vigorous life and beauty. Scattered across the land are dead trees, either decaying husks or blackened twigs managing to stand in the dry, hard soil. Thin creeks can be seen traversing the land, giving small amounts of water to the remaining wildlife.

Localized Phenomena

Purple lightning storms may seem normal in other realms, but in the Discord plane, lightning is seen as something ominous. The storms that generate are vicious, capable of causing horrendous wildfires with grayish-black flames that eat at anything they touch — the one exception being the webbing that is scattered everywhere.
However, rain does not fall in the realm; instead, an odorless poison void of color falls like rain, causing the rivers and whatever other source of "water" to become poisonous. Surprisingly enough, the kucoon seem to be immune to the poison, allowing them to drink whenever need be and convince mortals who trespass into the land that the "water" is safe to consume.

Climate

The weather changes from hot and humid to freezing and rainy in the blink of an eye. It is said that the weather patterns are connected to the Eternal Hybrid, a minor celestial with connections to all things insectoid and arachnid.

The Eternal Hybrid

by Amelia Nite (CreArt)

Appearing as a bipedal wolf with fiery eyes, the Eternal Hybrid watches over Discord with a judgemental mind, careful not to lose control of his temper. He protects the kucoon with a passion, using his celestial gifts to enhance their growth and make them more predator-like, able to defend themself from every threat. The rain that falls is said to come from the Eternal Hybrid's grief over being separated from his family and forced into a life as a celestial.

Fauna & Flora

by Amelia Nite (CreArt)

The only known living creature in Discord is the kuccon. Its massive size dwarfs that of an average-sized human. Due to their size, they are described as an abomination, akin to something that should be set on fire. All the kucoon have blazing-red ruby eyes that glitter when the lightning strikes, illuminating them for any mortal trapped in the realm.
When hunting, a kuccon will lure its prey into its nest by closing off all other exits with its steel-like webbing, ensnaring its prey, and waiting until the prey becomes exhausted before wrapping them in the webbing to save for a meal later.

Be careful! That place is full of creepy things. Fangs. Long legs. And bulbous red eyes. You have to keep your ears perked and senses sharp to survive what's down there. You don't even get to see them until the lightning flashes in the eyes. By then, you're already wrapped up, ready to be feasted upon.
