“When the stars were right, They could plunge from world to world through the sky; but when the stars were wrong, They could not live.”
Key Mechanics:
Teleportation: Each ziggurat corresponds to a specific month (1 through 12). During its month, those in control of the ziggurat can teleport to any other ziggurat they control. Additionally, there are Special Days in each month where any ziggurat can be used for teleportation, regardless of the controlling ziggurat’s month.
Plane Shift: Each ziggurat has a Coterminous Plane (a linked plane of existence). On one specific day during its month (in red or blue), the ziggurat can be used to Plane Shift to that linked plane.
Astrological Days: Two important days during the year allow Plane Shift to any plane from a ziggurat (blue).
Magic Item (Ring of Conjunctive Mimicry): This rare ring allows a user to bypass the ziggurats’ travel restrictions by convincing one ziggurat it is in sync with another ziggurat's celestial schedule, granting the user limited control over teleportation.
Ziggurats, Travel Months, and Planes:
Here's the list of ziggurats, their travel months, special days, and coterminous planes.
