Kashimar is an artificial world that orbits the system primary of the crystal sphere known as the Astromundi Cluster. Located within the Golden Girdle, Kashimar is home to the infamous Crystal University, storehouse of all Antilan magical knowledge.

Overview

Kashimar is reserved for the greatest of the Sun Mages (and their slaves), who have devoted their lives to the study and improvement of sunmagic or other magical disciplines. The Arcane have a significant presence here as well. This "center of learning" was established by the Antilans to provide a free exchange of mystical knowledge among the Sun Mages. Non-Antilan mages have been allowed to come to the University, but almost always in the role of advisor and teacher, rather than student. The Antilans are always eager to learn the secrets of others but are loath to part with their own.

What no one knows, is that a large contingent of baatezu are imprisoned within each of the flat worlds. As creatures of great power, they serve as a power supply of sorts, keeping the flat worlds moving. Most of the Sun Mages have forgotten how the flat worlds were created and powered. If any of the baatezu are released from their prison, that flat world will stop rotating on its own axis, bathing the city in either eternal night or a never-ending day (depending on which side is facing the sun when the rotation stops).
