Abellio

Abellio was the first layer of Arcadia in the Great Wheel cosmology. An endless stretch of orderly plains dotted with a few mountains and hills, it contained the divine realms of Clangeddin Silverbeard and Marduk.

Geography
The large flat expanse of Abellio was a land of plenty. There were abundant forests, lakes, rivers, and open fields. In the harmonious ecosystem, even wild beasts contributed to the common good.

Trade
The main trade post of Abellio was the district of Mercantus, the portion of the city of Mandible that was above ground. It welcomed traders and travelers to its markets and inns.

Notable Locations

 * Mandible, a highly militaristic hive-city inhabited by formians, and the layer's main trading post. It was ruled by the Queen Mother K'l'tk'thra.


 * Marduk, the divine realm of the Untheric deity Marduk. A dry and arid land, but which still allowed trees to grow and streams to flow. It was inhabited by a peaceful and mostly complacent population.


 * Mount Clangeddin, the divine realm of Clangeddin Silverbeard. A perfectly conical mountain that rose about 30,000 ft (9,100 m) at its cloudy and stormy peak, whose interior had been expertly and luxuriously carved and decorated. Visitors were welcome in its halls, in particular for the purpose of ordering weapons from the expert smiths that worked on the mountain's forges.
