Apr 02, 2006 9:48:20 I've been thinking a lot about Pandius, City of the Immortals, this week. (You'll find out why reasonably soon.) Wrath of the Immortals gives quite a good description of it, but it is lacking in detail, apparently due to space considerations.

A search of the Vaults revealed very little on Pandius, which leads me to wonder if no one has yet done any work detailing it.

Here is the only official information we have on Pandius:

Apr 02, 2006 10:23:04 I agree with you Thorf. The map of the city of Pandius is too "small" to represent a city of the immortals. The artistic representation on the last page of the book is, what I would think, closer too what it should be like.

I have often wondered in the past about the status of Pandius, which is clearly an Inner Plane: its address is listed as Ethereal-Prime-Pandius. The descriptions of the Multiverse in both Immortals rule sets state quite clearly that the Prime, Ethereal and Elemental planes are the only Inner Planes. I always thought that all other planes must be Outer Planes.

Maybe Outer Planes have a bias toward some Sphere (so was stated in the mitical-filosofical Immortal boxed set). But you need a plane with no bias toward any Sphere of Power, if you want to host any and all the Immortals as equals.
So, you need a plane "un-outer"... or an Inner Plane!
It could easly be a poket plane in the Ethereal.

On the other hand, if you compare the map and the picture, you will find that they are remarkably consistent with each other. Perhaps the scale could be adjusted?

Apr 02, 2006 11:35:17 Yes... On the piture there does seem to be lot more "city" in the background, than the map would suggest. One could argue that the map in the book only depics the city center, excluding the suburbs :D

yes unfortunately Pandius is one of the places that the Vaults of Pandius contains very little information about. Hmmmm.
