The Downside

This is the destination for people who are Unmutual to Commonwealth society, a place with little comfort and no kindness.

Geography
The Downside's geography is inconsistent and frustrating. The land and waters of are known to wander gradually from one configuration to another, and occasionally upend themselves in a matter of hours. No maps stay accurate for more than a few days, and any map more than a few months old is completely worthless. Regardless of the specifics, you can expect a bewildering mashup of terrain, in defiance of known geological reasoning. Jungles and snowy deserts within a few miles of each other, rivers that flow over cliffs into arid deserts, and so forth.

Skysigns
The sky is frequently lit by neon-bright geometries of no apparent origin. These Skysigns last only a few hours before fading away. No pattern to their shape, direction, or color has yet been deduced. These celestial lights are the only form of navigation in the Downside, but their ephemeral nature requires careful observation and the Exile's Folio to be useful.
