The Twin Paradises of Bytopia

Material produced below is from the "Manual of the Planes"

It is the plane that faces itself.

It is the home of the gnomes.

It is two sides of the same coin.

Bytopia is unique among the Outer Planes because the surfaces of its two layers face each other like the covers of a closed book. By looking up from Dothion, the "top" layer of the plane, the traveler can see Shurrock, its other layer. In a similar fashion, one may stand on Shurrock and see the towns and farms of Dothion overhead.

Each layer of the Bytopian plane is an idealised world. Dothion is a tamed, pastoral landscape, while Shurrock is an untamed wilderness. The philosophy of the plane - personal achievement working with social interdependence - infuses both of its layers.

The distance between the two layers of the plane is about a mile, though sharp mountains rise from either side and sometimes meet in the middle. Travel between the two layers is common by flying as well as climbing the mountains.
