Golden Hills

The Seven Golden Hills, also known as Bytopia, are the realms of Garl Glittergold and his exarchs in the astral dominion of Arvandor. It was formerly a plane known as the Golden Hills. It consists of seven vast and rolling hills covered with beautiful green grass.

The World Tree Cosmology
In the World Tree cosmology the Golden Hills was a mildly good-aligned celestial plane connected to the trunk of the World Tree, and through it to the rest of the celestial planes. It was home to Lords of the Golden Hills (the gnome pantheon). The realm itself consists of seven rolling hills, one for each of the deities who make the plane their home. Urdlen, the eighth member of the gnomish pantheon, tunnels beneath the Duergar realm of Hammergrim.

Whisperleaf
Baervan Wildwanderer's realm is known as Whisperleaf. The name is taken from the oak atop the hill, from which Baervan cut his spear of the same name. A cottage sits beside the tree, which, despite its small appearance, is large enough to hold all his petitioners.

The Hidden Knoll
Baravar Cloakshadow's realm is known as the Hidden Knoll. It is full of tricks and non-lethal traps.

The Deep
Callarduran Smoothhands's realm is known as the Deep. Caverns extend far below the hill, which is the smallest on the surface.

The Mithral Forge
Flandal Steelskin's realm is known as the Mithral Forge. The forge beneath this hill is fueled by a portal to the Elemental Plane of Fire. Flandal also maintains a portal to Gond's realm in the House of Knowledge.

Stronghaven
Gaerdal Ironhand's realm is known as Stronghaven. The fortress is the first line of defense for the plane.

Glitterhome
Garl Glittergold's realm is known as Glitterhome. It is the largest of the seven hills, although Garl prefers to spend his time wandering the plane in his role as Watchful Protector.

The Gemstone Burrow
Segojan Earthcaller's realm is known as the Gemstone Burrow. It is home to many burrwing animals as well as gnomes.
