afroakuma's Planar Questions Thread! (You ask, I'll answer)

[afroakuma]

That is the most blunt confession for being a Demon, I've ever heard.

Brother, I am all the demons.

Could you list all of the monsters that come from the far realm or are related to it in some way? Or are there too many?

Oi... this will take a few.

Who/what is Chronius?

Chronias is the 7th layer of Mount Celestia, a layer that none have ever ascended to and returned from... none save Zaphkiel, the ruler of all archonkind. All that is known of Chronias is that it is a place of great and blinding light, and ostensibly a realm of pure and utter good. Lawfully speaking.
