The Chancel of Alakh-Mu is known as "Storm's Eye." It is a realm where if you don't like the scenery, wait five minutes. The weather you're kind of stuck with. It has always been in the center of an immense maelstrom. It has been, for the last five years or so, a mountain. The storm licks the edges of the base of the mountain, and the top of the mountain is not as high as the top of the storm cone. At the top of the mountain one can see a clear circle of sky, but nowhere else.

The regions of the mountain are varied. Many powerful Lords have shaped The Eye of the Storm, and so many different regions and climates have developed. Also, time passes as it does in the mythic reality, not in the dull, plodding manner of prosaic time. More on this later.

At the base, a vast marketplace sprawls, connected to all marketplaces of the worlds, at all times. It is relatively easy to get into the marketplace, and nearly impossible to get back where you came from without magickal aid. Therefore, the average daily population of The Eye of Storm is roughly 10 million souls. This is where Percy, the Marquis of Need, chooses not to rule. Which is to say, as long as it doesn't bother HIM, you can get it here. The maelstrom licks at the edges of the marketplaces, periodically destroying bits and pieces of it, which are quickly and shoddily rebuilt.

Above the marketplace, which rings the entire base, are the "urban redevelopment centers." This area can be fairly dangerous, if you wander into the wrong area, but is full of interesting, exotic "neighborhoods."

The next layer up is cozy and quiet, a suburban paradise. Barrie, the Viscountess of Home, is the beloved leader of the gentle people here. Word of her kind and generous ways is so widespread that people come up from the projects and down from the farmlands just to seek her judgment. People live their everyday, wonderful, terrible lives here in the suburbs, although many of them also work in the marketplace.

Above this is the arable farmlands of the Eye. There are many small farms, and they are small community centers, with blacksmiths, barn-risings, and the like.

Past the farmlands is the barren, windblown heath. Wakadja, the Thunderbird is sometimes seen on the heath, for there is a waterfall there that he enjoys. Despite the occasional gothic mansion, gloomy chateau, muttering hermit, abandoned mission, or inbred feuding clans, it is fairly desolate and sparsely populated.

Some of the inhabitants of the heath believe that the heath is indeed the top of the mountain, because of the dense cloud wall that forms a nearly impassable barrier to the summit above. However, no one really knows what lies within the cloud barrier. Many who try to pass through it never return.

Above the cloud barrier, there is the temple of Cycles, which Angel, the Viscount of Cycles keeps as a haven for repentant sinners and wayward blondes. Angel built the temple from her vast experience with martial arts movies. It is peaceful and mossy, and gentle strains of "Every Rose Has its Thorn" and other "power" ballads played on sitar and gong are constantly just barely audible.

The very peak of the mountain is frozen and desolate. It is not habitable for normal mortals, but deep trances or high aspect can make it an excellent place for solitude and meditation.

The interior of the mountain is hollow, and contains many secrets. The worst-kept of these is Angel's "rehabilitation center," where the guilty are taken to be punished, and the wealthy pay through the nose to be punished. Sinners enter through the "highway to hell," which is the common name for the myriad entrances to the center. Some of these are fronted by ticket booths, others are guarded by Angel's thugs, who force those in need of repenting through, and some are disguised as hotbeds of sin and degradation, with such enticing signs as "Arsonists! Flammable fun right through here!"

Although it is Angel's pet project, the rehabilitation center is overseen by Aurelia Primus, the Duchess of Sensation. Her minions determine the appropriate punishment for the sinner, and detain them until they repent. Sometimes Aurelia herself will administer the healing absolution.

When the sinners have been redeemed, they are released at the top of the mountain through the "Stairway to Heaven" into Angel's temple. From there, they can live in ascetic harmony with the other converts, or return to the Marketplace, a short and pleasant walk down the "yellow brick road." This is one of the ways in which the non-linear nature of time in the Eye of the Storm makes itself most obvious. To climb the outside of the mountain takes "a long time." To go from the temple to the marketplace along the Yellow Brick Road is a "short walk." The quickest way to get from the Marketplace to the temple is through the "rehabilitation center." There is a two-way doorway between Percy's apartment and Angel's temple that allows immediate transportation between the peak and the base, but the change in air pressure is a doozy.

There are other Lords in the realm. There is the Paragon Dragon, pawn of Evolution, who is the leader of the guard in the Marketplace, and also has a mysterious lair, somewhere on the mountain. There is the Emperor, Duke of Unity, who has a business tower in the marketplace, near the Wall Street and Toyko gates. One hears rumours of the mysterious Poreus, Duke of the Liminal, who seems to dwell in no one place. It is a realm rich in myth, adventure, and spicy salsa. This is Storm's Eye.
