Rift's guide to the Realms
- This is a comprehensive study on the universes/realms/planets/dimensions that Rift McCarrion has visited and chronicled. It will forever be incomplete, as new worlds are discovered by others constantly. The first column represents the name Rift gave the location based on what he learned from locals. The second column is a very brief description. The "Fae Realms" are places Rift traveled to but was kicked out of immediately due to incompatibility.
Oghma Portal Schematics - 3 crucial necessities for safe inter-dimensional travel
The plane physics processor (PPP) is a dedicated microprocessor designed to handle the calculations of physics in any given inter-dimensional realm to allow beings (mortal or otherwise) to travel safety between them. Examples of calculations a PPP might include body dynamics, elevation, collision detection, fluid dynamics, breathable atmosphere, finite element analysis, and fracturing of objects.
The quantum drive is used to power the inter-dimensional portal. It is usually fueled by a radioactive substance such as uranium to produce the massive energy required to accomplish this form of travel. The quantum drive transfers such a large amount of energy at once it can only be used six times (pending on fuel supply) in a twenty-four hour period, to cool and stabilize.
The focus crystal is a gem of magnificent brilliance. It is rarest of all gemstones, as its purpose is to contain and project fields to produce a doorway in dimensional space and time. Such gems have to be of absolute purity without any defects, and also perfectly cut.
The size of the gem also matters, as the scale of the portal is determined from this measurement. The portal size/gem size ratio is two feet per inch.

Earth | Present day True Earth, where magic is not a real thing. Milky Way Galaxy. Humans - mostly harmless. Year 2021 A.D. Rift has an abandoned research facility located in Novgorod, Russia, and an estate in Shannon, Ireland, which was burned to the ground by Duex. |
Aarde | Human realm connected to Arcadia. |
Akasha | Holy cities and temples adorn an entire planet dedicated to a pantheon of gods. This is an Earth equivalent where polytheism is the norm. |
Apas (aka Vanaheim) | 100% Aquatic, with very little land mass. Atlantica, Atlantis, and other massive underwater cities are here. Cthulhu, the Kraken, and various other entities exist here. |
Arcadia (aka NeverNever) | Illyana's home realm. Land of the Fae, and contains a huge variety of mythical creatures. |
Asgard | Home of the brave and bawdy Aesir. Led by the "All-Father" Odin. Great place to throw a party. |
Bane | Intergalatic realm that was conquered by Zagniemn. How a magic wielding lich took over a very futuristic civilization is anybody's guess. |
Castle, The: Doorway, Dimensional Hub | The Castle is a simulation hub plane. No one is quite sure where it came from or who created it, but it changes shape to the needs of those who enter. |
Chardra | This is a human realm where Rift and Illyana met, under very different circumstances. |
Chauntea | Beautiful countryside realm, where farms are plentiful, and the civilization here has done away with currency. They barter for everything. Bazaars and Beaches. |
Cyric | The entire realm was conquered by Zagniemn, who is not present. He is on a conquest. The world is filled with multi-species slaves, and made to look normal via illusion. |
Deneir | Rift's library located here. Contains physical copies of his database as well as much of his research on other denizens and magical glyphs. Pocket dimension disguised as a realm. |
Erde | Human realm connected to Arcadia. |
Faerun | Fantasy world with Dungeons, Dragons, Drow, Elves, Humans, Dwarves, Undead, Monsters, Halflings, and other creatures. |
Ferelden | Fantasy world with Dragons, Elves, Humans, Dwarves, Undead, and Qunari. |
Gaia (aka Midgard) | Rift's homeworld. The land of beastmen, elves, dwarves, orcs, trolls, and goblins (where humans have gone extinct) and demons. Year 1929 A.D. Rift's Bio Lab here. |
Helios | Realm of endless light. No sentient life found, but blind creatures can be detected. Primary planet is far too close to its sun. |
Ion | Planet covered in black, thunderous clouds. Non-stop thunderstorm happening at all times. Swamp creatures thrive on this world. |
Istishia (aka Niflheim) | Frozen Ice/Snow world filled with intelligent Yeti, and snow elves called Khehlek. Very misty, and It is said that giants and undead creatures roam the valleys. |
Kelemvor | Nightmarish plane of black nothingness. There are gravitational problems on this world, very little life appears here. |
Lathander | Futuristic society comprised of East Indian culture and beliefs. Filled with beastmen, multi-armed deities, mythological creatures and humans. Said to be Shangra-La. |
Loviatar | Zagniemn's realm. He is known as the inventor of inter-dimensional travel. Harsh inhospitable realm filled with radiation, nearly unbreathable air, and little water. |
Malfeas | Prison planet used by several magic-based worlds. Contains species of all types. Duex/Tres has a haven here. |
Milil (aka Alfheim) | Strange world where inhabitants sing to one another to communicate. Its like a non-stop musical. Mostly Humans live here, but there are a few Fae and Elves. |
Mortis | Intergalatic realm with space wizards, bounty hunters, smugglers, and laser swords. |
Mystral | Green realm ruled by a goddess. She is supposedly the last survivor of a pantheon that destroyed itself. |
Oghma | Small pocket dimension created by Illyana, maintained by her magic. Rift's technology lab is located here. |
Olympus | Home of a peculiar set of gods known as Olympians. Led by a egotistical perverted elderly narcissist named Zues. |
Pamint | Human realm connected to Arcadia. |
Prithivi (aka Nidavellir) | Underground society lives under their planet's surface. Realm consists of Dark versions of Dwarves, Kobolds, Drow, Goblins, and Gnomes. The surface is barely inhabited, and this is where Rift built a hangar/garage. |
Pyra | About half of a planet that was destroyed by a meteor ages ago. It is in a shared orbit between two suns. Alien creatures survive here. |
Silvanus | Forest planet filled with centaur, Minotaur, dryads, satyrs, and harpies. |
Sune | Human realm connected to Arcadia. |
Talos (aka Jotunheim) | Land of Frost Giants. World best avoided, as everything here tries to eat you. |
Tejas (aka Muspelheim) | Supermassive volcanoes, lava pits, smog, orcs, and other hazards await you in this dinosaur infested vacation destination! |
Tempus (aka Helheim) | World of the Dead. Undead, vampires, and other unnatural creatures are said to have come from this place. |
Terra or Terran | Alternate Universe Earth where True magic exists. Year 2057 A.D. Lilith and Charion both have homes in this realm. |
Toka | Human realm connected to Arcadia. |
Umbra, The | Mirrored image of Earth, secret realm known for werewolves that call themselves Garou, as well as their enemies (the Wyrm). |
Vayu (aka Coliar) | Realm filled with wind blasted canyons and deserts. Sentient Reptilian and Avian species fight for control over the resources. Beings of energy dwell at the planet's core. |
Void, The: Desolation | Supposedly this is a universe that has been swallowed entirely by a super black hole. Proceed with caution. |
Yird | Human realm connected to Arcadia. |
