Besides a history of how this world came to be and what gods we have it is just as important if not even more to know what the people here made of it seeing we need to play being one of them.
Some things you need to know for this. What are the differences in races and where did people fight over and fought wars over and such.
One of the things I mind so far is the octarchs. It is pretty hard to imagine how the octarchs came to be ruling the whole world with so much diversity and even two gods not to fond of eachother.
I therefor submit that the octarchs only rule the planes in name and don\'t always have the power to actually rule their plane.
A possible part of history
At first the planes were pretty much seperated from eachother. Ofcourse there were passages, but nothing large enough for profitable trade or routes for armies. Only a few adventurers traveled between the planes.
As Talad saw this he wasn\'t happy as he wanted the people to get to know eachother and the world to grow and so he stepped up to a great inventor Inogla and asked him to solve this problem.
Seeing as Inogla was a devoted follower of Talad he dropped to his knees and swore he would not rest till his mission was complete or untill his death.
He spend all his life on this dream of talad alright and the whole city worked on realizing their gods request. Right before Inogla died he saw the first elevators between planes work.
As time passes were the elevators entered the planes cities arose and soon the elvators were connecting 8 cities each on it\'s own plane. The rulers of the cities were know as the 8 octarchs and soon became the most powerfull rulersas the 8 supported eachother and few could stand against the power of 8 planes cocombined and the wealth that came from the trade of the elevators.
Still some still resist and even now there are still cities that would jump on the chance of bringing one of the fabled 8 cities down and regain there freedom.
