       The Abyss

       [center]The Abyss[/center]
       The Abyss, also called the Abyssal Plane, the Abyssal, Infernal
       Realms, or Baator, is the home of the gods of Darkness, in the
       Outer Planes of the Cosmology of Krynn. Following the creation
       of the Dome of Creation by the good gods above the world of
       Krynn, the Abyss was constructed by the gods of Darkness, and
       provides the foundations for the Dome itself, as well as being
       the source of negative energy for the world. Both domains have
       effectively become tied to the other, and if one were to
       completely fall, the other would cease to exist. The Abyss is
       said to be a vast realm of emptiness, whose landscape can change
       to suit the nightmares of those who enter. The souls of all
       those who either worshipped the dark gods or those who
       blasphemed against the other gods end up in the Abyss. Without
       direct intervention by particularly powerful mortals or a god,
       then a soul is doomed to remain in the Abyss eternally.
       All the dark gods have a home within the Abyss, except for
       Nuitari, who chose to dwell in The Gray back in the Age of
       Dreams. Even though Nuitari is no longer present in the Abyss,
       the power of his moon is ultimately sourced from the dark realm.
       From its creation up until the War of Souls, it was governed by
       the goddess Takhisis. Following the fall of Takhisis, the Abyss
       is now governed by Sargonnas.
       It is near impossible for a mortal to enter the Abyss, except
       via a few singular breach points, the Gate of Souls, or the
       direct intervention of one of the gods. One instance where it
       has been known to enter the Abyss is when the Wizards of High
       Sorcery discovered many of their portals directly led to the
       infernal plane. At this time, the wizards placed a series of
       restrictions on the use of these portals to prevent anyone from
       entering or anything from leaving the Abyss. Another known entry
       point is the shattered remains of the Temple of Istar, which was
       used by Takhisis as a gateway to Krynn during the Age of
       Despair.
       Beyond the gods, there are countless creatures that dwell in the
       Abyss, including devils, hellhounds, achaierai, barghests, xill,
       rakshasas, demons, howlers, nightmares, fiendish Undead, night
       hags, vargouilles, fiendish oozes, and fungi.
