Bytopia
In the Planescape campaign setting for Dungeons & Dragons, Bytopia is the Twin Paradises (bi- + utopia). People of Lawful Good and Neutral Good alignment are reborn here as petitioners after death.
Bytopia is unique in the sense that a traveller can look up from one layer and see the other above him looking back down (or, from their perspective, up), provided that the sky is clear. To get from one layer to the other, travellers must either climb tall mountains, or fly. Gravity reverses when someone reaches the middle point between the two layers. The two layer are:
- Dothion, the pastoral layer, home to the souls of farmers, craftsmen, honest merchants and other normal commoners.
- Shurrock, the mountainous, untamed layer, home to the gods of the gnome pantheon and to a number of hidden beasts and monsters. Rangers often foray into this wilderness to slay creatures that have threatened the folk of Dothion.
