ORDELL’S EXPEDITION - Preamble
To whom it may concern,
My name is Gantys Ordell, writing this letter in the year 1492 by Dalereckoning. I’m an engineering consultant at
Amaunator’s Forge, a spelljamming vessel shipyard orbiting the planet Anadia. As of this writing, I am currently preparing for a
most ambitious voyage of discovery.
In less than a tenday, I’ll be embarking upon an expedition to survey all eight worlds of Realmspace. According to the
historical records, the last such expedition was undertaken in 1365 DR by the merchant captain Slade of Selune, who returned with
vast riches and many tales of wonder. The wealth of information brought back by Slade provided great insight into the workings of
the Celestial Design, though there have been more than a few scholars disputing the captain’s recollections, given his wounds of
the mind from a terrible battle with mind flayers on his return journey.
More than a century has passed, however, and much of the data acquired from Slade’s Expedition would be quite obsolete
by now. A new pioneer is needed to explore the worlds and return with updated findings. Following the return of spelljamming flight
in the wake of Mystra’s revival, no fool in the inner worlds has dared to venture further than the Arcus Belt, until now.
I have volunteered myself for this most dangerous of tasks. To this end, I have spent nearly my entire fortune to personally
finance the building of not one but three new spelljamming vessels (of my own design I might add) and hired reliable companions to
aid me along the way. With a stalwart crew and reliable captains in my employ, as well as the most advanced vessels to ever launch
from Amaunator’s Forge, I will surely overcome any and all obstacles that appear on this mission.
I have given instructions to the crew to preserve and deliver my writings to the university should I somehow fail to survive the
trials ahead.
May the knowledge I compile be of use to you the reader, should you choose to explore the worlds of Realmspace yourself.
Best of luck,
Gantys Ordell

REALMSPACE
Basic Terms and Facts
I watched the colored trails of distance cross
The heavens as the weaving lights came down.
I wondered when the dream would be a loss
And where the stars and stories went to drown.
The sands of passing fell and leaked away
As tethered feet were weighted down by love.
I wondered too what dreams were made to stay,
The dreams that gazers’ eyes pursue above.

[NOTE: The above image is filtered through a darkening lens that protects the observer from the overwhelming brightness of the Sun.]
The Sun provides light and warmth to all of the planets of Realmspace. It is the largest, most
massive object in the system. The Sun is more than a million times the size of Toril, and appears to the
casual observer as an enormous ball of brightly burning fire. The Sun is so bright that one can go blind
staring at it for too long (the above image is captured using specialized divination magic that can
dampen the illumination for safe viewing). For most living beings, it is impossible to visually examine the
Sun without specially prepared light filters. There are no areas on the Sun where most spelljamming
vessels can explore without being destroyed by the constant extreme heat (which can reach millions of
degrees in temperature).
Countless portals have been observed all over the surface of the Sun. These portals are
connected to the Elemental Plane of Fire, and vast multitudes of creatures of elemental fire use them to
travel between the planes. There are reported to be many different types of such creatures, including
intelligent beings such as efreeti that roam the surface of the Sun. The creatures living on the Sun are
also fiercely territorial, and many of them patrol its nearby orbit; ships that pass too closely will often be
attacked on sight.

Anadia is the first planet from the Sun. It is known for having the hottest, driest climates of
all the worlds in Realmspace, as well as some of the fiercest dust storms and earthquakes. Most of the
world is rocky canyons, deep arid valleys, and irregular mountain ranges. The local regions around the
north and south poles have a more temperate climate; they are characterized by rolling hills, plentiful
ponds, and circulating rivers. The north and south poles themselves are capped with mountains and
forests. At its equator, the planet is dotted with a belt of mountainous badlands; the regions in this belt
are known for periodic tremors and shifting geological formations.
The Underdark of Anadia is a huge network of winding tunnels and immense caverns. The
majority of the living creatures on this world live in the cooler depths of the Underdark, where both
water and sources of food are more abundant than on the surface. It is rumored that at the deepest
levels of the Underdark, one will find a great many portals leading to the Elemental Plane of Earth.
Due to the hot, dry climate dominating the surface, most of the rainfall can be found closer
to the poles, where there is enough moisture to support such weather. It is considered suicidal to travel
on foot past the equator from the north to the south (or vice versa), due to the lack of water in the belt
regions. There are however a number of relatively safe routes (with water replenishment points) that
lead through the Underdark from one side of the equator’s mountainous belt to the other.

Coliar is the second planet from the Sun. It is a massive gaseous world with a layered
atmosphere and many floating islands orbiting its gravitational center. There are many different sizes
and shapes of islands, and the distance between islands can range from as close as a few feet to as far
as thousands of miles. Some islands are so remote that they might never be discovered by explorers.
The most well known hazard for travelers on Coliar is the danger of falling from the edge of a ship or
island, which could result in either a death by burning from atmospheric friction or a death by impact
with a solid floating object (or passing creature in flight).
A universally known hazard for visitors to Coliar is the atmosphere’s outer surface layer,
which is composed of highly toxic gases. Despite the danger on the surface, the atmosphere is safely
breathable in almost every other region under the surface layer; this “clean air” phenomenon is known
as Akadi’s Blessing.
The climate of Coliar is tropical and temperate in all but the northernmost and southernmost
regions. There are frequent storms during the summer season, with the largest hurricanes spanning
thousands of miles. The weather becomes more turbulent the closer one ventures towards the
gravitational center of Coliar. It is surmised that this weather pattern may be partly due to numerous
portals leading to the Elemental Plane of Air near Coliar’s central core.

Toril is the third planet from the Sun, and is the shining jewel of Realmspace. It features the
most habitable, most populated, most diverse environments of all the planets in the crystal sphere. For
this reason however, Toril is also the most coveted by all the great powers, mortal and divine. Such is
the value of this world that gods and primordials battled for possession of it in an ancient war that
ravaged much of Realmspace. Practically all of the gods and primordials associated with Realmspace
maintain a foothold of influence on Toril, making it the battleground of choice for many divine conflicts.
This world is also known for having the greatest concentrations of magical energy, making it
one of the more popular destinations of the mages and magic-using civilizations in Realmspace. The
spelljamming vessel ports here are tightly regulated due to the politics and warfare of Toril’s most
civilized regions; almost all of the ports are located on Toril’s continents of Faerun and Kara-Tur, with
Kara-Tur hosting the majority by far. Visitors to Toril also commonly make stops at the planet’s sole
moon, Selune, where a thriving nation exists on the side hidden from Toril’s view.
Just as Toril has the most diverse array of environments in Realmspace, so too does this
planet possess the most diverse variety of climates and environmental hazards. Travelers to Toril are
advised to be cautious of the specific hazards and weather patterns of the regions they’ll be passing
through.

Karpri is the fourth planet from the Sun. Nearly the entire world is composed of a vast,
encapsulating saltwater ocean. The northern and southern polar regions of Karpri are each covered by a
continent of ice up to over six hundred feet thick and over a thousand miles wide. The equatorial region
is sparsely covered by drifting beds of floating seaweed and kelp; these plant congregations are islands
unto themselves, capable of supporting thousands of pounds of weight across areas large enough to
host entire cities. The rest of the planet between the poles and the equator is mainly clear, open water
up to ten miles deep over the ocean’s bottom.
There is an abundance of life on Karpri. Although most of its creatures are aquatic, living
under the surface of the waters, there is also a large variety of surface wildlife that has adapted to the
environments of the polar ice continents and the equatorial plant bed islands.
The climate of Karpri is comfortably and safely temperate for the most part, but its seasonal
storms can be extraordinarily hazardous, especially over the open water regions. The ice continents are
known to occasionally experience tremors caused by the pressures of various oceanic currents. Under
the ocean’s surface, it has been observed that there are some violently hazardous areas with crushingly
powerful currents; rumor has it that a number of these underwater danger zones are stirred up by the
presence of portals connected to the Elemental Plane of Water.

Chandos is the fifth planet from the Sun. Once an oceanic world of temperate climate, an
Ice Age has fallen upon Chandos during the past hundred years, transforming it into a frozen wasteland
of seemingly eternal winter. There are many irregular islands of stone that were highly unstable and
constantly shifting during the previous era, but their positions have been set by ice and snow as result
of the oceans freezing over. The frozen layer covering Chandos is as thick as 1,000 feet in some parts
and as thin as 1 foot in others; the oceans underneath the ice run as deep as 6 miles below the surface.
Most of the plant and animal life on the surface could not sufficiently adapt to the
indefinitely extended cold season, resulting in a great loss of life. Creatures living under the waters of
Chandos however largely managed to survive the Ice Age (currently referred to as the Great Change).
Surface creatures that were originally native to the polar regions have continued to thrive in the wintry
conditions; many of them have thus multiplied and spread out over larger territories.
Miraculously, there are a number of self-contained warm regions where non-polar wildlife
survived the coming of the Great Change. According to the native intelligent inhabitants, this was the
doing of some unknown magical power unleashed as the planet was shifting its climate. It has been
theorized that powerful mythals, epically scaled magic fields and wards, are keeping these unusual
regions temperate.

Separating the Inner Planets and the Outer Planets is the Arcus Belt, a vast field of floating
asteroids that orbits in a ring around the system. There is no atmosphere in this region of Realmspace,
but a number of creatures have made the Arcus Belt their home, including wildspace pirates, conclaves
of mages, and wildlife native to the void of wildspace. The distance between asteroids can be as close
as a few dozen feet or as far as several miles. Collisions between asteroids tend to be rare, usually
occurring when streaking comets or meteoroids slam into them with sufficiently pushing force.
The entrepreneurs of Realmspace have funded and organized mining operations in the
Arcus Belt, eager to obtain the valuable minerals and precious metals that many of the asteroids
contain. Natural gases can also be extracted from some of the asteroids, though such efforts tend to be
hazardous endeavors due to potentially volatile deposits. Maps with recorded safe routes through the
Arcus Belt are extraordinarily valuable to merchants and miners, since they can cut travel time through
the Belt by half or more.
Rumors and legends abound of what one can find in the Arcus Belt, including tales of buried
treasure, of ancient ruins, and of strange monsters that dwarf the largest whales.

Glyth is the sixth planet from the Sun. It is a rocky, mountainous world with land covering
about 80% of the surface, and temperately warm climates. There are numerous seas and lakes
composed of a mysterious, gelatinous substance rather than bodies of water, though a large proportion
of the gelatin’s composition contains water. Most of the natural flora on Glyth’s surface has been
purposely burned away in fires by intelligent design as well as warfare. The polar regions are capped by
frozen tundra and dirty ice.
The gelatinous substance of Glyth’s seas and lakes is safely consumable and possesses
nutrients necessary for sustaining life. As such, a number of the indigenous animals and plants have
adapted to the gelatin as a source of food and water, at least those few still living on the surface. The
planet’s Underdark on the other hand is home to a thriving collection of plants and creatures that have
largely escaped the ruination of the planet’s surface.
Environmental conditions on Glyth are almost comfortably habitable in the current era - a
stark contrast to the time before the Spellplague, when much of the air was polluted by smoke, and
frequent acidic rains forced the inhabitants to seek shelter for survival on a regular basis. Eventually,
over the course of the past century, the planet’s environments stabilized by gradual, natural means,
though there is still the occasional acid rain shower in some regions.

Garden, sometimes referred to as “Yggdrasil” or “Yggdrasil’s Child”, is the seventh planet
from the Sun. This planet is a cluster of asteroids that are anchored together by the roots of a massive
plant. The asteroids attached to Garden are referred to as “Pods”, and they vary wildly in both size and
composition. The plant that holds the cluster together is comprised of a network of “Cores” (spherical
clusters each up to a hundred miles in diameter) interconnected by roots to the asteroids, each other,
and a much larger Core at the center of Garden that is over a thousand miles in diameter. The smaller
Cores are also known as “Buds”, while the central Core is often referred to as “The Seed”.
There are many small plants and animals that live on Garden, adapted to living within the
main plant network, or within the tunnels and caverns of the asteroids. The planet has a number of trade
outposts and towns located either within the asteroids or at the Seed; most of the natives are
descended from space pirates whose crews were stranded during the Spellplague, when spelljamming
flight became impossible.
Visitors to Garden are cautioned about the variable gravity of the planet, which can shift
dramatically depending on where one travels throughout the network of Pods and Cores, turning up to
down and down to sideways with a few steps. The planet maintains a breathable atmosphere and
comfortably warm temperatures throughout its body.

H’Catha is the eighth planet from the Sun. This planet is shaped in the form of a flat disk,
held together by unknown forces. The geology is that of a saltwater ocean with islands and small
continents, and the ocean up to 20 miles deep. The ocean water tends to spill over the edge, but as it
leaks down the sides of the planet, the water turns into steam; the steam turns into clouds that migrate
over the planet until they eventually return to the ocean as rain. The bottom of the planet is composed
of adamantine ores, making it one of the hardest naturally occurring surfaces in Realmspace.
As it revolves around the Sun, H’Catha wobbles slightly along its axis. This wobbling creates
an alternating cycle of movement in which one edge of the planet is brought closer to the Sun while the
opposite edge moves away from the Sun; the edge brought closer to the Sun is warmer than the edge
moved away, effectively producing seasons for the planet. The ocean of H’Catha tends to be calm
during most months, but it does experience storms during its Summers.
There is a wide variety of wildlife and vegetation on H’Catha, thriving in the stable,
temperate climate of this planet. The central continent of H’Catha, which hosts a huge mountain known
as the Spindle, is home to the largest variety of surface creatures on the planet. The ocean also hosts
many creatures, big and small, ranging from tiny shrimps to the gigantic eyes of the deep. The
Underdark of H’Catha connects all the islands and continents with its network of tunnels.

The Frigid Badlands, much like the Arcus Belt, forms an orbiting ring of floating debris
around the system of Realmspace. Unlike the Arcus Belt, the debris in the Frigid Badlands is composed
of frozen water ice clusters. Despite the abundant source of water in this region, there are very few
creatures willing to live here due to the freezing temperatures of wildspace so far away from the Sun.
Also like the Arcus Belt, the distance between asteroids can be as close as a few dozen feet or as far as
a several miles, with collisions between the asteroids being rare.
Due to its inhospitable environment, the Frigid Badlands region is treated only as a
transitional barrier by most spelljamming vessel crews, with occasional stops within it to replenish water
supplies. It is rumored that certain types of valuable crystals can be found in the Badlands; a number of
entrepreneurial survey expeditions have been sent into the area for the purpose of finding crystal
deposits, much to no avail.
The greatest treasures that have actually been discovered in the Frigid Badlands are the
frozen carcasses of ancient creatures; these carcasses are perfectly preserved within the icy
confinements of the asteroids, and are believed to be remnants of the Dawn War, in which gods and
primordials fought for dominion of entire crystal spheres. Casualties of the Dawn War included monsters
of myth and legend, all of whom may possibly be found floating silently in the Badlands.

The Distant Fringe is the void between the Sphere Wall and the rest of Realmspace, the last
leg of the journey from any of the planets to the shell that encapsulates the entire system. This region of
wildspace is vast and filled with mysteries. Traveling through the Fringe can be somewhat risky if one
chooses to do so without regard for the potential hazards within it.
For the most part, the Distant Fringe is unoccupied wildspace with almost nothing in it, but
there are parts of the Fringe where one might have greater chances of running into dangerous
creatures, or rogue asteroids, or anomalies of time and space. Most spelljamming travelers will never
have any trouble or surprise while journeying through this region, but there are a number of ships that
have gone missing while attempting unexplored routes.
There are a number of portals in the Distant Fringe that can lead to other locations within
Realmspace, as well as other planes. The locations of these portals (the safe ones that is) can be
extremely valuable for spelljamming vessel crews, especially those of merchants and explorers, for the
time that can be saved in transit towards their destinations. According to some rumors, there are even
portals to other crystal spheres, as well as to planes that are taboo for exploration, such as the Far
Realm. Astral Corridors (see Basic Terms and Facts) are abundant throughout the Distant Fringe, which
makes it an alternate place of exit from Realmspace on journeys to other crystal spheres.

The Sphere Wall is the final destination of spelljamming vessels before leaving the system of
Realmspace, or the first destination of those entering the system. The Wall is so large it appears to be a
perfectly flat, solid surface rather than a curving structure. The material composing the Sphere Wall is
bumpy and cold, and seemingly indestructible no matter what manner of attack is used against it. Travel
by foot is possible on the Sphere Wall’s surface since it produces a similar level of gravity as the planets
of Realmspace, though this gravity may vary depending on the region of the wall being tread upon.
There are locations dotted along the Sphere Wall where portals leading to the gaseous
atmosphere outside of Realmspace will periodically open and close. Most other portals lead to the
Positive Energy Plane, the Plane of Radiance, or the Elemental Plane of Fire; these portals are visible to
the planets as the stars in the night sky, due to the blindingly bright light emitted by them. The portals
may be as wide as a thousand miles or as thin as only a few yards; most are large enough for the
passage of spelljamming vessels.
Most of the Sphere Wall’s surface is devoid of atmosphere or flora, so it’s impossible for
most creatures native to the planets to live on the Wall, and the temperatures may vary greatly due to
the presence of the portals to the Elemental Plane of Fire. Due to a great deal of magical energy lining
the surface, storms of wild magic may occasionally form over the Wall, lasting up to several tendays.

To whom it may concern,

I watched the colored trails of distance cross

The heavens as the weaving lights came down.

I wondered when the dream would be a loss

And where the stars and stories went to drown.

The sands of passing fell and leaked away

As tethered feet were weighted down by love.

I wondered too what dreams were made to stay,

The dreams that gazers’ eyes pursue above.

The celestial bodies of Realmspace revolve at

There is no breathable air in wildspace so

Mystra, goddess of magic, is the caretaker of The Return of Swords

Look up and see that little twinkling light,

A twinkle, twinkle far away from here.

Below the Moon, a little to the right,

And straight ahead until you see it near.

A single point among so many wrought

From gleaming light to fill the dark expanse.

The lucent mantle of that tiny spot

Bestirs the lookers on to wishing glance.
