0307 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ {{"Mr Kitty"}}, a lurid green tiger with yellow stripes and orange gem-like eyes, grown from one of the vats in Hex 0208 makes these hills his home. He hates his name, but no one has yet survived long enough to give him a new one.

0308 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ See: 0505 A swarm of cultured, hyper-intelligent nanobots maintain a GREAT LIBRARY of ancient texts carved into the trees here. The nanobots attempt to set creatures at ease, assembling into their best approximation of any visitor's form.

0309 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ Here on the STARSHINE PENINSULA, the ancient tree's mirrored leaves reflect the void. The silver skinned goblin wolf-riders who live here are said to steal dreams and weave them into cloth.

0312 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The STAR GROVE grows in concordance with a distant star system, a living garden map.

0313 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ At the top of the mountain is a portal which will send anyone stepping through it to a random location on 1) this map 2) Hexenbracken or 3) krall and guarded by a starmetal golem.

0508 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The trees here were once batteries but someone used up the energy and neglected to set up the recharging. So the forest waits...

0603 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The devastation begins here, where sorceries clashed. The city of CANIS-3 after the Theta Bomb: a giant twisting gun-metal growth, home to Ant- and Dog-men, digging for relics in the white desert sand. Thirst, Slavery, and Unexploded Ordnance Hazard.

0604 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The devastation takes the form of hexagonal fracturing of the earth. Each hex is a different height, some tower above all, some plunge deep. Crystal centipedes live among the hexes.

0605 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ Here, it is a devastation of thought; no new ideas can happen; the only thoughts here are thoughts carried in. Those present live in grey desperation, welcoming travelers; if they could hope, they'd hope someone suggests they leave.

0606 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ A massive {{golden sphinx}} watches over the edge of the DEVESTATION. It's communication relay allows the Mind-Sculptor from Hex 0202 to monitor the area.

0607 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ Small settlements of greyscale holograms dot the gentle hills of the ONCELAND. These quiet folk drain what little color that can be found here to empower their heroes; towering titans of hard light that summon rainbows to their aid.

0608 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The woods appear dead, but they hunger for life. Any life. Yours will do nicely.

0609 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The dead trees have begun to bloom and yet they are still dead. An aggressive algae from another world has granted them a sort of undead existence, living off starlight and whatever animals get too close.

0610 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ A meteor has crashed into the dead forest throwing both the land and trees into upheaval. A chunk of glowing metal has been reported in the crater and rocks in the area have begun to grow teeth and tentacles.

0701 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ Miles of gently rolling plains covered in crystalline star poppies are dotted with the interstellar ships of the pirates who harvest them.

0703 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ A PORT CITY in the devastation. Once populated by transhumanist cyborgs, terrible events caused the deaths of all organics. Now, only the robotic husks continue, shambling along automated routines.

0704 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ Hundred foot tall trash heaps of the devastation. Golden shelled stag beetles and copper shelled Heracles beetles the size of dinner plates are found here in abundance.

0705 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ A vast grassy plain stretches to the glowing trash heaps on the horizon to the north. Ancient metallic wrecks reach out from the ground to the sky, and small blue creatures with many limbs search for working parts to help them one day reach across the empty void to the north.

0706 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ This pastoral plain of pink grass is home to the < The starflower fields that stretch across this plain capture and redirect light, causing anyone who disturbs them to become the focus of their lazer-like affection. Giant purple crickets tend these 4' tall plants.

0709 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The spire of the great CATHEDRAL OF OHM is wreathed in lightning, while its long halls sit mostly empty of all, including dust. Rumor has it that a great complex below the cathedral houses the treasures of the Arch-Tesla.

0711 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ See: 0812 The CRYSTALIAN MOSAIC dominates here. Overseen by a titanic psi-angelic creature comprised of wings and tendrils, slave-artisans toil eternally to fulfill the being's ever shifting vision of sublime beauty. A single crack in one of the city-block sized crystal tiles invites cataclysmic reprisal from the beast above, wiping out miles of intricate work.

0801 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ RAZOR PLANES As you travel east, the rolling hills turn to sharp cliffs, and the beautiful poppies into crystal-toothed snappers. A wrong turn here will drop you into a pit of gigantic carnivorous snapping-poppies, whose poisonous bite lulls your mind into a euphoric and self-destructive state.

0804 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ A small tribe of goblins enslaved by war witches mine the midnight clay pits.

0807 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ Carnivorous unlife lies in wait just below the ashen ground, but high above: floating discs, dead sky-whales, and lots of tethering chain, support a pastoral "utopia". {{Tyranny-of-Form}} lies murdered in her GRAND CATHEDRAL, slowly reviving, while the {{Murder Cube}} seeks the escapees from Hex 0013.

0808 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ "How does one kill a Video Demon? Simple, apprentice - rewind his prison-cassette until he ceases to be...though our MONASTERY has only one Sacred Implement, and more tapes come every day."

0809 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ In the mines that go on for miles, a fire has burned for hundreds of years. The cinder trees live on, somehow, and salamanders nest in the branches.

0812 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ See: 0711, 0911 The smashed ruins of the CRYSTALIAN MOSAIC (Hex 0711) span this side of the landbridge. Tiny orange people in silver slave away to rebuild the once glorious work.

0901 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ Neon Cyber-Unicorns frolic and duel in the FRUITLESS ORCHARD. Their segmented steel-flesh is a delicacy to the people of the crystalline city located in Hex 0902.

0902 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ See: 0013, 0504, 0901, 1005, 1101, 1102, 1408, 1911 The CRYSTAL METROPOLIS towers over all, visible from every point in the land. It's citizens feast upon the bounty of the harvest of the world. {{Sad Ivory}}, the Sorceress Queen, spends her days atop the grand spire, reweaving the pattern of the stars in a mad attempt to woo the Sun to become her lover.

0904 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ A giant iridium hand and arm rises 500' into the air. Glitter harpies nest among its 15 fingers.

0906 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ Oil pools and steel jawed crocodiles.

0907 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ See: 1005, 1008 GATETOWN is a bustling city where beings from across the land may congregate under the watchful eye of the {{Beggar King}}. The only barrier to entry is that you must have something to trade, be it skill at arms or riches fine.

0908 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ All plant, animal, and monstrous life appears to be made from yards of black magnetic tape. The only exception is the sphinx who lives on a glass boulder at the eastern edge.

0909 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ At all times a GREAT GOLDEN CITY both exists and does not exist in the center of this land. When it is present the sky is purple, the grass is red, the wine makes you hunger, the food makes you thirst. When gone, the sky is green, the grass is blue, the wine poison, the food reasonably priced.

0910 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ DWEOMERDALE, a village of sentient illusions has migrated West from the PRISMATIC MOUNTAINS beginning in Hex 1110.

0911 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The rubble here is mined for iridium by the same tiny orange slaves dresed in silver found in Hex 0812. They do not appear to have masters, but are afraid to go out at night.

0912 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The devastation causes frequent earthquakes here, knocking chunks along the edge to fall into into the void. Velocer raptors nest among the peaks.

0913 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The remains of the MINISTRY OF INFORMATION are said to be in this area of the devastation. The rumored crystal data spheres attracting a steady stream of pirates.

1001 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ On mountaintop lies a great pulsing cube of flesh riddled with tunnels. Creatures and cults dwell inside the mucous filled corridors for life.

1002 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The trees of this area bleed when cut, and their fruit are beating hearts. Local tradition holds that if the last fruit is taken from the tree it will hunt down all who have eaten from it.

1005 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ A sloping plain angling steeply towards the void, inhabited by meter-tall, spherical fur balls that try vainly to roll up hill far enough each night so as to not fall into the void as they sleep. They are a delicacy in the city of 0902 (The CRYSTAL METROPOLIS) and 0907 (GATETOWN).

1006 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ Men and Women in traditional dress engage in bacchanalian excess around an enormous, sentient head who denounces their actions as barbaric and unclean. Beneath their garb they are outrageously attractive in a he-man, she-ra kind of way (all wear unitards into which they barely fit, and the men have impossibly full hair, the women are just straight up feathered and 80s-curled). Both sides will try to conscript the PCs into helping them (taint the wine with a purgative or else engage in lasciviousness in front of the head).



If aided, the head will let up to three people climb into its mouth. Wait there for two minutes and when he reopens his mouth you can be anywhere else in the map. He'll only do this once.

1011 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ A {{necromancer}} and a {{scientist}} are teaming up to build a undead cyber beholder using scraps from Hex 1010. They live in a cave served by zombies and lame scrap built robots.

1012 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ See: 1112 The devastation has caused this area to be under perpetual cloud cover resulting in a hot and humid land covered in black molds. A great circular pit miles deep has a carved stair leading down into it's depths. Rumor has it that a shadow dragon sleeps at the bottom.

1013 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ See: 1112 The entrance to CRYO-STATIONS X4, Zenon3 and I-r12 can be found here within the devastation. An infestation of robo-cockatrice has resulted in most of the sleepers being turned to steel.

1102 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ A tribe of centaurs, defenders of The CRYSTAL METROPOLIS in Hex 0902, are slowly being warped by the devastation. Some have begun building altars to dark things from beyond the void.

1106 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ See: 1107 The BEACON TOWER is kept lit here by a {{librarian}} and a {{summoner}} who settled down here to have children and chart the stars. Their Void Hounds patrol the hills, answering their call.

1110 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ See: 0910 Proud warrior {{Aurach Mintas}} sits in his REMOTE PALACE on an improbable peak watching the images of his past battles as lasers flicker through the gem-backed memory crabs. He stirs rarely, and challengers are few these days; in his idleness an incorporeal demon has taken root in the palace, always whispering.

1111 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The Western edge of the PRISMATIC MOUNTAINS contains a massive gateway leading down into the depths of the MAGMA WARRENS that all eventually converge on Hex 1311. Demonic things emerge regularly and harass anything in the area before they cool off and fall to ash.

1112 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ See: 1113, 1213 An odd adventurer's boomtown SWER-AL has sprung up here. Treasure seekers often venture into the lair of the robo-cockatrices and the shadow dragon's pit (see Hex 1012 and Hex 1013). They say the town elders keep a robo-cockatrice in a dry well and use it to render steely justice to lawbreakers, lining the square with the unjust.

1113 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The devastation caused strange changes in the rock of the mountains, and weird mountain men mine the ore and sell it to the smiths of SWER-AL.

1202 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ In his polycrystaline tower {{the knight}} who holds himself personally responsible for the devastation sits morosely strumming his nine-stringed harpsichron. The psychic strains of his music float over the hills, causing the rusty death machines to slumber on.

1203 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ See: 1207 Here a great chain of lesser modrons hanging onto each other trails into the void. philosophers of cosmic order gather to contemplate the wonder. Modrons attempt to bridge the gulf between Hex 1203 and Hex 1207.

1210 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ Storm clouds rain down fine metal filings over a land of weathered hills and valleys. The lightning is otherworldly, and the gorgon oracles in the TEMPLE OF BOVAX at the center of this hex are said to know the secrets of these storms.

1212 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ Rubble-strewn slopes lead down to the devastation. A sprawling underground machine, insane from eons of loneliness, uses its countless goose-neck arms to reach through lava tubes and snag unwary creatures. The machine uses its harvest in sadistic social experiments.

1213 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The cemetery of SWER-AL (in Hex 1112 ) is a series of stone cairns on rocky ground, as digging is impractical here. A {{Necrophage}} tends his flock of Wraiths in secret, biding his time.

1311 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ See: 1111 The lava-tree of RY-LOSH. This volcano is constantly erupts--not lava--but a glowing crystalline fractal that constantly grows upwards with gracile boughs and terrific cracking sounds. Frequently, the higher branches collapse under their own weight and rain down the mountainside in radiant landslides. Rumor claims that a clan of magma-octopi live at it's heart.

1312 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The CAGE OF LIGHT. This strange fortress is composed of glass, mirrors, and invisible walls. It is home to {{Prismax the Unblinking}}, his armies of laser-droids and prism-golems, and the 13 stolen wives of Urgis Khan.

1403 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ See: 1602 Blocking the narrow isthmus here is THE BLACK ENGINE, an antediluvian war-machine of lightless anti-chromium. From its many screaming laser-maws, it shoots neon fractal dolphins and waves of edgeless sharp. The belongings from several rangers from Hex 1303 lie crushed underfoot, and the particulate remains of the rangers themselves clot its intakes.

1408 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The PLEASURE DOME OF URGHIS KHAN is now a cracked and gutted wreck of saunas and nymphariums. Insane pleasure droids and frenzied massage bots still stalk its darkened arcades. {{Wyglaf the Cyber-Eunuch}} still retains his mind, if not his body, and would reward anyone who could humble {{Sad Ivory}} the Sorceress Queen in Hex 0902.

1409 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ Broken droids and sparking appendages drag themselves to the center of this hex. Mechanical eels fly clockwise overhead, all emitting the same D minor chord. {{Teremach the Tesselator}} has almost completed his masterpiece.

She'd do anything to be human.

1412 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ Much of this hex has been buried under the crystalline fractal eruptions of Ry-Losh. A malfunctioning servo-bot, living in an old missile silo and desperate to be loved by Lady Serotonin of Hex 1411, is trying to make her a human body.

The land here is highly arable and safe from various radiations and mutagens. The protector of this string of farms is {{Doctor Gordon}}, a brilliant-man that has invented a generator that shields this region from most dangers. On good trading terms with USE-BA in Hex 1503.

1506 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ Starjackals prowl through the yellowblade windsong grass that covers these plains.

1509 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The caps of the giant mushrooms forest here resemble abstract windows of stained glass and color all light that enters the hex. {{Cacophonius the Sculptor}} lives in a small workshop among the shrooms where he blends the colored light of the forest with his collection of sounds to create sentient waveforms.

1510 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ See: 1511 The giant mushroom forest thins here, mostly due to the giant herd beasts that knock them down and eat them. They're nearly blind, very territorial, and can't turn once they start to charge.

1607 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ LAKE MEROEE flows eternally through the shattered grasslands and into the star filled void in great cascading sheets of ice. Mirrorscale sahuagin guard its shores and the secrets of the eternal spring at the heart of the lake.

1701 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The endless and immaculate pleasure gardens of PERSOPHELIX are tended by hovering cypherskates whose "beards" of delicate pruning appendages incessantly groom the land, occasionally vivisecting an insensate reveler who has overindulged in the vibro-pools.

1704 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ A malfunctioning {{Mark V OGRE supertank}} has, for years, been running round in a circle here. Mostly out of ammo and delusional, it has adopted the samurai code and seeks help to be free of its "curse".

1708 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ This entire peninsula grows, like a tumor, from the forest out into space. Insect-Men with poisoned hive-minds and giant mounts seem compelled to defend it. Soon it will touch Hex 1908, where the Techno-Vampire Counts prepare frantically and launch occasional aerial raids.

1803 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ Satyrs train dim-witted Centaurs to herd even dimmer-witted sheep-people. They are all using laser guns, light swords, radio communicators, and other remnants of high military technology as mundane everyday tools, not imagining them as weapons.

1804 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ See: 1805, 1902 Crashed space ark being repaired by nanogolems. Metalic purple jewel encrusted dinosaurs dwell here now, some with lazer eyes.

As it passes it leaves a 1km-wide magenta-cyan-sparkly slime trail that causes random genetic re-combinations if touched.

1806 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ {{The Jacksonian}} and His Amazing CORUSCATING CARNIVAL exhibit wonders of superscience while selling fireworks, jetpacks, and 44 anthrophages that have been transformed into kittens.

1812 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ See: 1813, 1912 The powerful rakshasa {{Delo}} dwells atop a ring of giant yellow mushrooms in a series of sumptuously appointed (and garishly colored) yurts. If you can impress his succubi and incubi courtesans he might reveal the secret of the Starpool.

1901 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The earth's crust here is thin, cracked in roughly hexagonal patterns with occasional missing pieces through which the void may be seen.

1902 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ {{Kilgore Crimegod}}, the legendary cyclops crystalsmith who replaced his eye with a small portal, has made the sober, informed decision to go mad.

1905 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ Watching the Hoverboard Races was once a favored indulgence of {{Sad Ivory}} the Sorceress Queen, but neglect has cracked the ceramic curves and choked the access tunnels with dead leaves. However, the degenerate, carnivorous androids of the area maintain disarming smiles, glib voices, and a few functional hoverboards that they use to chase down prey. The name of {{Lord Nichrome}} causes them to fall to their knees, mewling and begging in abject terror.

1906 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ A crumbling, elevated highway serves as the only safe path through this hex, although glitter harpies nest upon it. Packs of howling turboghouls ("http://vaultsofnagoh.blogspot.com/2012/06/bestiary-of-vaults-turboghouls.html") kill anything on the ground.

1909 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ Pilgrims to the VALLEY OF SHADOWLESS DEATH pray fruitlessly to the thunder gods for rain. The crystal sorceress ("http://genealogyreligion.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Gozer-the-Gozerian.jpg") lures the most penetent to the top of the valley with her languid screams of forgiveness, whereupon she picks them off one-by-one with her lazerbeam eyes.

2002 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ SPARKY'S CYBERNETICS CAFE AND LOUNGE stands, apparently unscathed, amid the devastation. You're just as likely to fine an iridium haired flyboy, as you are a dwarven runesmith, or astronotica hypno-drone 3000 drinking and telling tales of glory at the bar.

2003 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ Jagged non-Euclidean peaks. The red star (that cannot be seen from anywhere except within this devastation) looms lurid and huge in the sky here. Ghosts of dead AIs babble machine code to burnt-out graftpunks and soulless dwarves, and a vile, subsonic hum causes nosebleeds.

2004 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The bladebushes of the crystalline scrublands burn continually under the watchful eye of a tribe of tekno-goblinoids. The tribe's shaman have mastered the audible spectrum and their metallic blade drums are legendary.

2006 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ An old speedway emerges from the devastation in Hex 2007 and runs for about three miles before terminating suddenly in an abandoned iridium strip mine. Scintillating ghosts guard the wreckage of a red pleasure craft, its tinted windows still dark after all these years.

What purpose does this lemming-like plunge into the void serve?

2010 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ The devastation is reaching across the void, trying to reach toward Hex 2012. Mutated creatures who are constantly in pain as their bodies twist and warp rend anything that's "normal" in utter hatred.

2012 ⇖ ⇙ ⇗ ⇘ See: 2010 GRINDOLIX, a city formerly over-shadowed by the now-fallen ASTROTOPIA (see Hex 1911) has lost its chief rival and therefore its will to compete for greatness.
