Creation's Forge is the source of life-sustaining vitality energy and the origin of every pre-incarnate mortal soul, and at the same time the most innately hostile plane there is. Vitality is deadly to undead and restorative to the living, but the plane's own intensity is such that unmitigated exposure incinerates any extraplanar being without sufficient magical protection. The nearest comparison to its interior is the heart of a burning star, and the stars of the Universe hold natural portals into it.

The interior is brilliant, blinding and sparsely populated. Its native jyotis are intensely xenophobic and regard themselves as gardeners and guardians of the souls their realm spawns. They distrust gods and divine servitors, but they can be bargained with, and they have taken custody of a good many artifacts and imprisoned beings considered too dangerous to keep anywhere else.

Planar traits

Subjective Gravity
All bodies of mass can be centers of gravity with the same force, but only if a non-mindless creature wills it. Unattended items and mindless creatures treat the plane as microgravity. A creature moves normally along a solid surface by imagining down near its feet; designating that direction is a free action with the concentration trait. Suspended in midair, a creature can replicate flight by choosing a down direction and falling in it, moving up to its Speed or fly Speed using the Fly action.
Unbounded
The plane loops back on itself when a creature reaches its edge.
Vitality
Suffused with the energy that sustains life. Beneficial to living creatures and deadly to undead, but so intense that unmitigated exposure incinerates extraplanar beings without magical protection.
