Nishnatoba

Made famous by the decisive battle waged upon it during the War of Humanity, the nearby plane of Nishnatoba has been popularised in modern times by combatants and warriors alike, as it is one and the same with the interior battleground of the Matsuhama Arena. In every known area of Nishnatoba, you may be killed at any time, for any reason (or no reason at all), and without retribution.

Shrines

Once regions dedicated to House icons, every Divine has the shadow of a master shrine on Nishnatoba. Each shrine has a specific area of the plane set aside for itself, and all such areas are restricted to ten rooms or less. These areas may be travelled to by touching the correspondent shrine on the Prime Material Plane during a crusade.

The following areas of Nishnatoba are set aside for master shrines:

• An Ancient bone yard - an old bone yard, located on a dangerous slope. Once home to the Fist of Oppression of the Ebon Fist, the master shrine of the Tsol'teth Genesis controls this region.
• The Ancient Garden of Darkness - once home to the Triune Globe of the Sect of the Black Lotus, the master shrine of Twilight asserts its influence here.
• The Carnival's Causeway - a desolate path lined with abandoned carnival fare. Once home to the Living Tarot of the Carnivalis Institute of Jestering, this waypoint is now the domicile of the Wayward Heir's shrine.
• The Chaos Tundra - a forgotten ruin steeped in snowy, frozen wastes. Once home to the Wheel of Chaos of The Occultists, the master shrine of Babel now controls this empty space.
• The Desolate Glebe - a desolate field, most of the plant-life there is dead. Once home to the Crown of Thorns of the Blood Congregation.
• The Forgotten Library - a long-lost repository of maps and atlases. Once home to the Stag Crown of the Sentinels of Nature.
