Avernus

Geography

The Geography of Avernus is under constant flux, for reasons unknown to most researchers of the arcane. The Dimension appear to beform itself through means unknown, morphing and melding in accordance to events in the realspace and other planar dimensions. The Wastelands taking on the topology and even structures of places where henious acts takes place. Some scholars stipulate that these 'Emergences' as the locals call them are caused by the planes themself rejecting the very land that was so tainted, that it cannot be allowed to exist within themselves anymore. This hypothesis is not widely accepted however as it proposes that planes themselves are reactionary organs, able to react to the events that happen within them. Nonetheless the fact that Planewalkers have seen incredible topological changes associated with vile acts previously seems to point at some sliver of truth within the theory. What exactly trigger these changes are unknown however.
