Avalas

Avalas, also known as the Battleplains, was the first layer of Acheron. It contained the divine realms of Bane, Gilgeam, Gruumsh, and Maglubiyet, according to the Great Wheel cosmology model.

Geography
Of all known layers of Acheron, Avalas contained the largest number of cubes, which ranged in size from cities to continents. The layer was also the most densely inhabited of the plane.

Collisions between cubes were constant, happening as frequently as once a week and sending resounding vibrations throughout the layer. The collisions also slowly eroded the cubes, destroying structures on the surface, carving canyons, and collapsing tunnels. Due to the very orderly nature of the plane, the cracks on the cubes' faces were always perpendicular, so large cubes always broke down into smaller cubes. For that reason, older cubes were typically the oldest, while larger ones were younger.

The layer was continuously replenished with new, featureless cubes that were generally avoided by other cubes' inhabitants due to their lack of food sources and places to hide in the event of a collision.
