	Of all the planes, the Beastlands is the most untamed. This land has no cities, towns, no citadels, just endless wilderness of all types. It is land before civilization, much as its [[Gehenna\|opposition]] is land after civilization. Any terrain you can find on the prime can be found somewhere within the Beastlands; from meadows and forests to savannahs and veldts to plateaus and chasms. The environment here is lush and wild, the epitome of independence - your survival is ensured by none but yourself. This land so embodies nature that proficiencies dealing with nature (such as tracking or wilderness lore) get a ~~+10% (the equivalent of~~ +2 ~~on a d20)~~ bonus. The sole exception to this is weather ~~sense~~, which suffers a ~~-20% (~~-4) penalty due to the unpredictability of the weather in the Beastlands. The weather is as wild as the plane itself, the sky capable of being completely clear one minute and pouring down torrents of rain from dark storm clouds the next. The skies of the Beastlands are in constant flux, thanks to the presence of the [[mortai]] - cloudlike creatures that dwell in the skies of the plane.

This land so embodies nature that proficiencies dealing with nature (such as tracking or wilderness lore) get a +2 bonus. The sole exception to this is any attempt at foretelling the weather, which suffers a -4 penalty due to the unpredictability of the weather in the Beastlands. The weather is as wild as the plane itself, the sky capable of being completely clear one minute and pouring down torrents of rain from dark storm clouds the next. The skies of the Beastlands are in constant flux, thanks to the presence of the [[mortai]] - cloudlike creatures that dwell in the skies of the plane.

	Besides the mortai, the sky features two sibling celestial bodies: Selera, the sun, and Noctos, the moon. Each of the three layers of the Beastlands reflects their presence in different amounts. In [[Krigala]], the land of eternal noon, Selera beats down continuously, granting constant light and constant heat to its inhabitants. [[Brux]], the land of neverending twilight, is shined upon by Selera and Noctos in equal measures, Noctos absorbing what it can from his sister and reflecting what it cannot, resulting in a cool climate and a small amount of light from the sky, not quite driving away the shadows in which predators can lurk. And [[Karasuthra]], the land of midnight, possesses Noctos alone, where the bare minimum of light emits from Noctos, leaving a land virtually without illumination.

Those from the Beastlands most likely to issue power keys are [[Stronmaus]], and the powers of Krynn and Toril.

	Even the inhabitants reflect the wilds of the plane, as nearly all beings in the Beastlands are animals. All petitioners not of a specific deity take the form of an animal upon their arrival, albeit an intelligent, articulate one, and all animals of a given type are ruled over by one of the [[Animal Lord]]s of the plane. Those most well known are the Cat Lord and Wolf Lord, but every type of animal has an individual considered its master, its Lord taking on all characteristics ascribed to its species - both natural and assigned by more intelligent beings, oddly enough. And of course, animals of all types live on the plane, both normal-sized and the rarer giant varieties - these themselves are petitioners as well, but petitioners of animals on the [[Prime]] that have since passed on. It's these inhabitants that lead to the common name for the plane amongst the [[Clueless]], the Happy Hunting Grounds.

	The wilds of the Beastlands are not limited to its inhabitants, however; visitors to the Beastlands "suffer" its effects just as strongly. Pets, familiars, animal companions, they all find themselves suddenly unfettered by the bounds of domestication. They run free, reveling in the plane, returning just in time to rejoin their masters when they depart. Humanoids have similar effects, as the plane itself grants a feeling of vitality to those who choose to visit. Reflexes seem sharper, senses seem more intense, even ones thoughts seem never fogged by fatigue or exhaustion. Sleep is always restful and food and drink are always satisfying.

	Stronmaus's keys take the form of either a metallic rendering of a lightning bolt or a hollow glass pendant. Power keys from the Krynnish gods take the form of natural items, similarly to normal spell keys. Torilian power keys are in the form of written documents; books, scrolls, or sheets of musical notes.
