Solar Barge
The Solar Barge is a unique Outer Plane within the Draconian cosmology. It is a mobile realm of absolute Order, Light, and Law that exists primarily to serve the vital cosmic function of perpetuating time and defending creation.
Nature and Purpose
Unlike the static, geographically defined realms like the Offering Fields (Seket-Hetep), the Solar Barge is a dynamic entity that constantly traverses the chaotic deep beneath the world. It is the vessel used by the Sun God, Khepri, to make his nightly passage through the Twelve Hours of Night. Because the Barge itself is a plane of existence, its presence alone pushes back against the forces of Apothis and Chaos, creating a bubble of Order that allows the cycle of time to continue uninterrupted.Divine Residency
The Solar Barge serves as the primary home plane for the Sun God Khepri and, when she is not on Mount Bakhou, the fierce goddess Bast. The concentrated presence of these deities of light, order, and protection ensures the integrity of the Barge against the immense, destructive forces of the deep Duat. It is a sanctuary and a strategic command center from which Khepri wages his nightly war for the dawn.Accessibility
The Barge is not a destination for mortal souls; its passage is sacred and essential to the functioning of the universe. It is a vessel of divine war and celestial transport, moving at the edges of the Astral Plane to maintain the structure of Draconia.Localized Phenomena

Strongly Law-Aligned and Strongly Good-Aligned: This is the most dominant trait of the plane. Chaotic and evil creatures will find it incredibly difficult to function here, and their powers will be significantly hampered. The presence of Khepri and Bast amplifies these effects, making the Barge a powerful fortress of Order.
Minor Positive Energy Dominance: The Sun God's presence constantly radiates light and life-giving energy, making it difficult for creatures of decay or shadow to survive there.
Normal Gravity: Gravity on the Barge is normal and stable, a reflection of the absolute order that it represents.
Normal Time: The Barge's journey through the Twelve Hours of Night occurs at a normal rate.
Divinely Morphic: The Barge can only be altered by the deities who reside there, making it an unassailable fortress that cannot be changed by the chaotic magic of the Twelve Hours of Night.
Enhanced Magic (Divine): Divine spells, especially those of the Sun and healing, are greatly enhanced on the Barge. Spells with the Chaos or Evil descriptor are almost entirely negated. This makes the Barge a powerful weapon against the forces of Apothis.
