I have had an idea about a campaign where the players gain their own Domain of Dread and battle with the other lords of those planes. While playing Elden Ring I was struck with an expansion upon that idea. Essentially the whole setting is a bunch of demi-planes that you can be connected to each other, or traveled to through spells, rituals, items, etc.
It was caused by a celestial war across the multiverse. After realizing that their fighting shattered the multiverse into millions of pieces the gods broke off parts of their power to save portions of the many universes. The largest demi-planes and demi-planes would be the many worlds made by the Dark Powers mostly found in the domains of dread along with a coalition of planes that work together instead of infighting. Between them would be a variety of neutral and/or warmongering independent planes.
The rulers of each of these planes are granted powers by the plane which lets them rule it. The campaign idea I have would involve the players taking over a small demi-plane roughly the size of Limwood from Elden Ring. Then they would have options in exploring, warring, or joining other planes. It would eventually end with a big battle against the Dark Powers.
Any ideas? Thoughts? Suggestions? Was this the wrong place to post this? Not sure about any of this but I would appreciate feedback on the idea. It is very bare-bones right now and I may have explained it poorly.
