Uncharted Islands

50A small sandbar out in the middle of nowhere. The sand is a strange, black stuff that is coarse and jagged. There are no features upon this island save the sand. Below, however, lies an ancient, nameless city ruled by a titanic bipedal frog creautre and peopled by a vicious, primitive group of merfolk who worship this creature as a god. The sandbar is the very tip of the creature's temple, which has a roof like a ziggurate the is held up by massive basalt pillars. At night, the followers surface and howl at the moon praises to their god below. Once per week, they claw their way to the center of the island and sacrifice one of their fellow worshippers along with any intruders.

Secret Societies

50Six Sky Triad: a Thri-Kreen society hidden in a small desert town. Triad activities are mostly benign, with the Thri-Kreen secretly discussing town matters and fulfilling ancient cultural rites that have been suppressed by the local government. Every Thri-Kreen citizen of the town is either a Triad member or at least knows of it, and they keep their society hidden through telepathic communication, their nighttime meetings occurring in total silence. Occasionally the Triad will journey out into the desert for a night, singing desert songs and praising the Sand Father, but these journeys are rare, and getting rarer as time goes by.

New Planes of Existance

50Demiplane of Concessions Often mistaken for a place of refuge and salvation, this sliver of demi-reality is an unending dessert of salted popcorn, ranging in sizes of pebbles to giant boulders. Spiking the landscape are volcanoes that periodically erupt spewing the aforementioned popcorn. Glacially slow rivers of caramel sinuously carve the landscape and travellers might encounter pools of sickly sweet brightly colored shaved ice and sticky gooey cheese. GMs might want to populate the plane with candy-themed monsters.
