Editing Planebreaker

{{dnd-stub}}

'''Planebreaker''' is a third-party setting for [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]] written by [[Monte Cook]], and could perhaps best be described as the latest of his efforts to create his own take on [[Planescape]]. This meta-setting revolves around the titular Planebreaker; a [[plane]]-traveling moon-like structure that roams the [[multiverse]] at random, inadvertently forming a kind of cosmic highway that [[adventurer]]s can deliberately seek out or accidentally stumble into. And that's presuming they don't go to visit the Planebreaker and its sole city of Timeborne (aka "not![[Sigil]]") itself.

=In Its Own Words=
The Planebreaker is a moon-sized structure of unknown provenance. Planar debris sleets across it as it tears through the dimensions. The accumulated residue of previously visited dimensions adheres to the moon’s surface, creating an ocean-like expanse known as ''the Sea of Uncertainty''. Drowned in the depthless deeps of the sea are exotic objects, strange artifacts, portions of larger structures, and all manner of extraplanar salvage.

Every plane the Planebreaker previously visited retains a tenuous connection to the moon. This planar connection is called ''the Path''. Those who find the Path—as well as confused castaways caught in the Path’s grip—can travel it between all the planes the Planebreaker has visited. Path walkers can also hurtle across the dimensions to visit the Planebreaker itself, falling into the Sea of Uncertainty. From there, they spy the enigmatic city of ''Timeborne''.

'''Arcana DC 5 (false):''' A tumbling, dimension-breaking moon is an omen of doom to anyone seeing it pass through the skies overhead.

'''Arcana DC 13:''' The Planebreaker is an interdimensional wanderer, a moon-sized chunk of matter that has traveled the multiverse for time out of mind.

'''Arcana DC 15:''' Those without access to high-level magic can use the extradimensional “scar” left behind by the Planebreaker’s past wanderings to travel across the planes. This route is called the Path.

'''Arcana DC 17:''' On the Planebreaker’s surface, a region called the Sea of Uncertainty is sleeted with detritus, artifacts, and creatures the moon has picked up as it crashes through the infinite planes. Overlooking the sea is the city of Timeborne, built upon ruins as enigmatic as the Planebreaker itself.
