Description
Nun is a boundary plane. Unlike Limbo, Nun exists as the border between good and evil on the side of chaos. As a result, this boundary plane is extremely tumultuous.
It has a great, swirling sea of chaos at its heart. There are two opposing whirlpools, one "up" and the other "down". It is believed the downward whirlpool is connected to the Aether Plane and the upward whirlpool is associated with the Astral Plane. Getting too close to the center of this chaotic sea would result in being ripped to shreds by extremely divergent tidal forces of epic proportions.
Common Inhabitants
The following creatures are common in this plane: chaotic souls, some demons, and a race of humanoids called the nithmael.
Unique Inhabitants
Nu (god)
Creator of Worlds
He appears as a tall, bearded man. His eyes are large and show the Material Plane from the Aether Plane.
He was instrumental in the creation of the Material Plane (see Demi-Planes). Nu used the chaotic waters of the plane to create parts of the Material Plane.
Locations of Interest
Fortress of Nun - Nu somehow manages to reside in a rotating fortress at the center of the maelstrom.
City of Termus - This is a city built upon a huge slab of rock from the Elemental Plane of Earth. It is the city where the nithmael live, forever rotating around the upper whirlpool of the maelstrom. The nithmael were created by Nu. They were created for a single purpose: to destroy the Material Plane. It is believed that Nun will one day release a great army of nithmael to exact their purpose under certain circumstances.
