Mechanus

Mechanus is a plane of existence in many fantasy roleplaying settings, often depicted as a realm of absolute order and law. It is characterized by its infinite, clockwork-like machinery, with gears, levers, and moving platforms constantly in motion. The entire plane is a single, colossal construct, with every part functioning in perfect, predictable harmony.

The inhabitants of Mechanus are primarily automatons and beings devoted to law and order. Modrons are the most common inhabitants, existing in a strict, hierarchical society where each individual knows its place and purpose. Celestial beings who value order also sometimes reside or visit Mechanus. Time and space are perceived differently here, often described as flowing with a predictable, rhythmic cadence.

The plane's primary purpose is often seen as the enforcement of cosmic law. It is a place where justice is absolute and immutable, free from the chaos and emotion that plague other planes. Decisions made on Mechanus are based on pure logic and adherence to established rules, ensuring that every action has a precise and predetermined consequence. This unwavering adherence to order makes it a place of great stability but also one that can seem sterile and unfeeling to outsiders.
