Dread possibilities and other heresies - A Last Look into The Mists
Dread possibilities and other heresies – A Last Look into The Mists
One last trek through the mists, friends. One last trek is all it takes. Will it spell the end? A new land? Unsure. May something out there pity us.
Author’s Note: The year is ending and it’s almost Christmas… Will I do more Ravenloftian goodness? Well, someone has to in the face of Poseurloft! But really, we’ll see. I’m tired of D&D, as has been noted by the lack of crunch for a long…
Ghostly visions, Drakov’s endless wars, Lovecraftian Gods, Evil Artifacts and more! IT MUST BE CHRISTMAS! But really, let’s have one last look at Ravenloft.

Troublesome Timelines in Sigil and Beyond
Gather quickly, my free time is limited. I have dire and gruesome fortunes to unearth.
Alleissa, the protege of Midwife Mebbeth can do more than treat what ails ya and talk about the art a bit. Did you know I have some knack for fortunes and looking at possible events? Don’t just take my word for it… Gaze into this crystal ball and allow me to show you. Why are you reluctant? Despite this…

Spelljammer’s Steamspace – Always Weirder Pastures
“So, what you’re trying to tell me is that you’re not an elf?”
-“No, sir.”
“And this isn’t the North Pole?”
-“It could be!”
“So… Sargent, have you been trying to mess with my goddamn mind this whole time?”
*”I’m in the fog as much as you are, Major! This ain’t Earth, it’s aliens. Roswell and all! Aliens!”
“Get a grip of yourself. This, err, non-elf can help us. Now, isn’t that…
Can I make this weirder? Of course I can! Further looks into Steamspace, now with more references to WWII era conspiracies and Orson Welles Radio Broadcasts!

Spelljammer’s Steamspace – Light and Dark
Take heed, mighty explorer! Danger is afoot! Always prepare!
You are among the brave few, those who readied themselves for the great journey into a breathtaking new world, one of many that swarm around the very source of much great power. The Steam Titan, as many call it, as a colossal body that anchors the many sites we aim to use for our cause. Far from alone, there are others like us who…
More spelljammer with heavy magitech involved. Since I’ve gone steampunk, a somewhat critical look at VIctorian steampunk, while looking into a dystopian cousin world.
Spelljammer’s Steamspace - Desert Winds
https://daemonsanddeathrays.wordpress.com/2021/11/12/spelljammers-steamspace-desert-winds/
A fascinating cluster of worlds unlike any other. There is one true world within steamspace, an incredible Gas Giant that bounced between several sun-like star shapes. Orbiting the giant are many moons which foster life, while acting as a means of sampling the greater world for the benefit of the denizens below. This charter details the various inhabitants upon each of the moons. The Known Moons of the Gaseous Body, a cosmic cradle that harbors a bubbling and steaming watery world below known as “Steam Titan”, are as follows: Bashar, Destiny Expanse, Victoriana, Noire, Metallum and maybe even more. Splinter from the Iron Coil Gnome crew became a vital part in the infrastructure and well being of the moons themselves. While the company presence in the Crystal Sphere fizzled as fleets of Minoi entered roughly ten years ago, they left behind means of survival on otherwise hostile worlds. Enter moons built on extremes and oddities. Behold a fantastic gas giant that tethers all of them together, the very source of wondrous power here. But for today, let us look at the first two moons.
I’m starting to make my own Crystal Sphere, what fun! This one has a heavy handed bit of steampunk included.
The Cluster Sphere: Spelljammer… in the Mists?
Fantastical Space would be one of the last things people associate the Demiplane of Dread with, but it exists even there. The recently discovered “Castle Darkspace” is a testament to that. While T’laan stews and broods in nihilistic apathy, he knows that it’s possible to break the veil into greater space. But, this is but a facade meant to give false hope. And by all means, others who have touched a Spelljammer have fallen to the Dark Powers. Even the maligned and much ignored “Port Barmy” has its roots in a Spelljammer ship. Save for the latter domain, all things Spelljammer have found their way into a unique “Cluster” or rather “Mist Sphere”. The Mist Sphere works much like a Crystal Sphere, complete with Wildspace connecting the worlds. However, there is no true world, solely the domain and lands trailing off into mists. However, they can be accessed by spelljamming.
Be warned though, for those who sail their incredible ships in this sphere cannot leave normally. Trying to seek the Phlogistan has disastrous results. Consistently, a spelljammer will explode upon impact. Likewise, entering other domains and clusters beyond this one spells doom. Doom already comes for all who dare to trifle with the mists. As of 740, even arcane space (excluding the phlogiston beyond) was not immune. Tower Darkspace was taken into the mists. By 743, Rogerport and Gnomonia had joined. Primordium Station was taken in 748 and The Chariot fell in 757. By 758, these were no longer islands of terror. The Mists unveiled that the spelljamming days of yore had returned, but with a dark twist. A new Sphere of sorts revealed itself, but those within were very much trapped. And worse, new locales and minor domains continued to appear, such as the Sparkling Halls in 759. Perhaps the Arcane Space is doomed to fall to the Dark Powers in due time?

RAVEN-JAMMER!
Conspiracies and Terrors of Wildspace and More
I realize that my lesson started and shifted a but abruptly. But, you seek the worst and weirdest that arcane space has to offer. Why would I slouch on a golden opportunity to explain all that is delightfully dooming in the stars beyond? Ah, yes. Do stop me at any moment. As much as I relish spreading nightmares, it could be bad for the tutoring contract. So, young one, let us talk particular subjects involving space today. After all, fear not when being taught by the famous Jermaine the Arcane. I always provide means of rescue advice.
Author’s Note: Spelljammer, at last! All the same, October kinda of usurped a bit of that. And so with that, have some RavenJammer! Likewise, conspiracies and mysteries within the setting too. Also, the largest heresy to the alternate cosmologies, they’re just Crystal Spheres with Planar elements… Don’t be mad at me! Plus hey, I love a good conspiracy angle, the retcon fits the Great Wheel and its many mysteries to some extent. Primers be damned! (But, mostly Clueless.)

Worlds and Cosmos of Spelljammer - Fantastic Space!
Worlds and Cosmos of Spelljammer – Fantastic Space!
Arcane Space, a strange place for those not initiated. Plus, for those lacking the essential tools of travel, it’s deadly. There is no natural air here, likewise the heat is very unnatural. This is especially the case within the traveling warp known as the phlogiston, a realm of burning energy that can shuttle protected spelljammers in rapid time. Yes, it truly is wonderful. And for many,…

A Day in the Planar’s Life – Of Sigilian Happenings
More day-to-day life with the Cage. Turbulence looks to be a recent norm, but life finds a way of adapting or addressing such matters. Those who aren’t content with being clueless eventually find their way here, lest they give up or fall. Life ain’t easy, but many have carved a niche out of it. Plenty either just use others or get ahead in some other negative way, but that ain’t the city as a…
