-The Chronicler has been asleep, for a while -  which accounted for his absence during the recent attack on Netherworld.  That made me think that he might {{ :netherworld:netherworld_plan_5.png?200|}}have been 'dreaming' about Netherworld, its shape and structure, and carrying out a minor redesign  :)

-**Heroes Field**: an area with a much higher 'skyline'  -  perhaps 40' in height (to allow two-storey Buildings), apart from the central area, most public areas are only 10 feet before the 'plane' runs out.  Open Grassed area, a lake with wild flowers, bounded by trees, tall hedges and rocky outcrops, with building lots around the outside.  (it only needs a golf course!).  A much nicer area than most of the rest of Netherworld.  A 'country park' that is a suitable place for adventurers to build their homes, but still close to the central facilities.
+I also want to add a Day/Night cycle to the world -  10 hours of night, an hour of 'dawn', 12 hrs of day, and 1 hr of dusk.  Night sky still  a bit like a moonlit night (Moon shines through thin cloud)  Day time -  normal daytime with a cloudy / overcast sky.

 **Heroes Wood**: Set with trees that form a 40' woodland canopy - a space for nature loving heroes, again bounded by trees, hedges and rocky outcrops -  so we can build tree houses, cave houses and a most other sensible buildings, perhaps even 'rustic' fort (but not farms, or ranches as they need too much space).
+//Heroes Wood is an eclectic mix of trees that you wouldn’t expect to find together -  in any world.   Clumps of Acai Palms, with their thin trunks, spreading fronds and hanging fruit, provide the high canopy about fifty feet above the ground.  Small Chestnut trees, rise almost as high, with branches starting about ten feet above the ground.  They cast a dappled shade and their branches  are suitable for a single story tree house about fifteen feet above the ground.  In between there are apple and orange trees, along with a few small oak trees.  The understory is composed of a mixture of midsized ferns and plants (such as Blueberry and Quince and Dragon fruit)  which provide many a small, and cosy, grove.//
 As both areas have plants, there will be streams and small ponds etc to make them even more habitable.  Perhaps that is where the wildflowers grow :P  However, created demi-planes don't ever have any wildlife.  **Opportunity:** I might be able to run a couple of adventures for the crafters -  or other characters - to collect some small, benign creatures - such as song birds or squirrels. Fish -  Plankton feeders and herbivores, turtles crayfish. freshwater mussels etc.
