Balovar

Balovar is a fictional location featured in the role-playing game Planescape. It is a city located on the Outlands, a plane of existence that serves as a crossroads between numerous other planes. Balovar is known for its stark, angular architecture and its inhabitants' pragmatic and often cynical outlook. The city is built around a central hub, a place where planar travelers frequently arrive and depart.

The society of Balovar is hierarchical and structured, with a council of powerful individuals, often referred to as the "Magisters," holding significant sway. These Magisters are typically experienced planar adventurers or influential figures from various spheres of influence. Commerce and trade are vital to Balovar's economy, with goods and services from across the multiverse being exchanged. The city's atmosphere is often described as being one of constant negotiation and subtle power plays.

One of Balovar's notable features is its reliance on a form of magical energy known as "Planar Dust." This dust, gathered from the fabric of the Outlands, is used to power many of the city's devices and maintain its unique properties. Navigating Balovar can be challenging due to its intricate network of alleys, hidden passages, and shifting planar alignments. It is a place where alliances are fleeting and trust is a commodity not easily earned.
