So, yeah. I decided to give the world building thing a try. Why not have a world where the entire civilization is underground? Here's the basic idea: there are 4 empires (redde, Bleau, Yelowh, and Greane), each with a few kingdoms. They are differentiated in a few ways.
Redde - Thermal energy in the form of underground volcanoes, possibly a heat/lava oriented player race.
Bleau - Electric energy in the form of light from magical electric eels; Bleu is kind of a big fish bowl, it's full of water and surrounded by walls. The natives are aquatic elves, sahuagin & other aquatic reptiles, and general fishy races. Races native to bleu would need some fish tank machine to go on dry land.
Greane - Chemical energy in the form of explosive rocks. I was thinking of adding grenades/bombs and a Demolitionist PrC. The rocks explode on contact with water, and waterproof algae almost always covers the rocks.
Yelowh - Mixed energy sources from all the other empires. Yellowh is also the only place where any wood-like substance grows, in the form of very large and hard mushrooms. anything that uses wood cost double outside of Yelowh.
Every race has developed low-light vision, and there are bushes everywhe but in Bleau that make excellent torches.
Any other ideas? Flaws I overlooked? Please reply!!
