02-10-08, 06:10 PM I've consulted as many planescape books as I can find from 2e and other than the fact that Aasternian exists in Brassberg within the domain of Nidavellir in Ysgard I can't find any further information. Is there any book which describes this realm?

(Yes I do see that Draconomicon has retconned Aasternian's home to the Outlands or perhaps he moved there but I'm interested in details about Brassberg whether its still in Ysgard or not).

02-12-08, 01:57 AM Brassberg is the realm of Aasterinian, one of the deities of the draconic pantheon. It is located in Nidavellir, on Ysgard. It is a series of small caverns just big enough to contain Aasterinian's hoard. Trespassers are devoured unless they're amusing; some members of the Society of Sensation have survived a visit to her realm. Aasterinian does enjoy the inventions of the Norse dwarves, and sometimes her avatar walks among them in dwarven guise.

Sources: On Hallowed Ground, Planes of Chaos (The Book of Chaos, page 107)

I think that's all the information there is. Gray Richardson may have made some things up for the Faerunian cosmology.

02-14-08, 12:31 AM I had some musings about the Forgotten Realms version of Brassberg in an article I did for the Candlekeep Compendium Volume IV (http://www.candlekeep.com/compendium/Candlekeep_Compendium-Volume_IV.zip). I was trying to flesh out the draconic plane of the FR cosmos, and speculating on what might be found there.

The article draws inspiration from the sources Rip mentions above, if it is helpful to you, you can download the issue for free at this link here:
