Mount Olympus

Mount Olympus is a great mountain on the plane of Arborea. The gods of northwestern Ardann i'Parastha mostly dwell in halls and temples on Mount Olympus, which towers above all other places in their realm.

Like Yggdrasil, Mount Olympus is a pathway to many other planes. Rising from the plane of Arborea, Mount Olympus has veins that reach into the planes of Gehenna, the Gray Waste, and Carceri. These planes are reached by twisting caverns that pierce Olympus's stone. On its slopes, a cutter can climb through the Astral Plane and into a number of prime-material worlds - worlds where Zeus and the fellows of his pantheon aren't forgotten. Unlike Yggdrasil, Olympus has no connections to any of the other Upper Planes, and its links to the rest of the Outer Planes are well mapped.

When crossing into another plane via Mount Olympus, the traveler must find a color pool like those found on Yggdrasil. Beneath the mountain, the right cavern must be taken, since there are many false trails and dead ends. On the slopes, the traveler must search through rocks and woods for the shimmering curtains that mark doorways to other planes.

Note: Mount Olympus originally appeared in this form in the Planescape AD&D campaign setting from TSR. Its use here is for the purposes of providing context for the campaign only.
