  1. Llachanath, an eldritch world of writhing forests and oceans of foul slime beneath a sky of lightning. A blade-like spire of diamond stands here, filled with continually shifting colors.
  2. Yiggubbosh, a fell world of dark forests and vast wastes. A monstrous city looms ahead, inhabited by vampiric shape-shifting creatures.
  3. Gheemogua, an ancient world of thorny forests and deserts of shattered bone lit by a cold and distant sun. It is inhabited by malevolent reptilian creatures which worship Daoloth.
  4. Yngagoth, a doomed world of thorny forests and desiccating wastes lit by a baleful red sun. A bizarre tower stands here, each stone engraved with eldritch glyphs.
  5. Kad-Rhaggua, a vast world of writhing jungles and mires of noxious ooze lit by a cold and distant sun. A shifting mass of living nightmare lurks in a pit, amidst sickening ooze and vapors.
not as happy with this set, i think because of the repetitiveness of the format. also, none of them so far worship me. oh well.
