Last year with Waldi of Cafe de Nuit, I started the construction of a new cluster for the demiplane of dread.

After a while, I have decided to come back to it.

I am looking for any help to construct this. People willing to stat darklords, or anyone willing to beef up some of the non existant fluff on some of the darklords.

What are the plaines of Lost Innocence?
Part steampunk, part wild wild west, all terror. Oh and also with alot of trains thrown in.
Featuring new takes on legends like the Wendigo, and featuring cultures based on victorian england and native america, with also a culture based on the aztecs.

It features a variety of new darklords, and 2 new dread elemental domains.

Weapons and Technology
Firearms are no exotic weapon in the Plains of lost Innocence. Guns and pistols are aviable for moderate prizes in every "civilized" settlement. Unregarding of the CL of the domain, the white settlers use always firearms as favoured ranged weapon.
The natives have only few firearms (stolen or bought) and use primary bows.
Crossbows are virtually unknown in the Plains (and, according to the widespread repeating firearms are not realy usefull here).
Any firearm taken out of the plaines of lost innocence, is subject to the whims of that dread domains darklord, and as such most fall apart.

Domains

Great Domains
Grand Central : The mysterious Train-Master - A sprawling metropolis based on the foundations of New Glenwich. Its leader the greedy Mayour Grubwich III and ruled of the train-master the sinister dark lord of mad steam-tech.

Grand central has three unique levels, which are positioned above each other.

The lowest level, is a mixture of slums, and factories, and also serves as a water collection basin. It is located just above the sewers, but alot of these open up into this layer, so disease is run rife.
It is the world of the slaves and the lower class, and as such many of the grey skinned orcs and poor humans toil down here, with also many mutants and outcasts (there is also a civizilisation of drow down here, who usually live in luxury, and also organise the slaves, and also run alot of the criminal underbelly in grand central).
The main food source down here is a special type of black rice made to grow in darkness, another lynchpin of there diet is fungus bread, made from flour which is composed of the various fungi which grow in this damp underbelly.
Looks akin to a smog and darkness filled venice.

The second level is in the daylight, and is a sprawing metropolis. It is the level most seen by visitors. It is filled with merchants, and workshops (many run by drawfs).

The third is suspended by chains, and is composed of various floating gardens, and manors. It is the realm of the rich.

This looks fun. I have a question though, I don't know much about the RL adaption to Gothic Earth. Like your cluster, is it connected to the regular RL by the mistways and Railroad 666? I love that, RR stations in all the domains that just aren't noticed!

Very cool. It looks like you could even sneak in Caretaker from Ghost Rider (I just saw the movie on DVD). He would be a perfect fit as hero, anti-hero, or villain.
