'''Madego''' is a [[domain]] with a surface area equal to the combined [[Core]] and the [[Cluster|Clusters]]. Its geography exactly mirrors the aforementioned lands, but every feature is half as high, half as deep, and all the lands are seamlessly connected into one landmass. The domain has seven moons, which are visible both night and day: Golden Rhe; silver Whe; black Mor; green Gai; red Raf; blue Hae; and pink Bub.

==Location==
Madego is apparently located ''beneath'' the [[Core]]; looking up from any place within Madego, a traveller can see a sky of stone. 'Sky-lights', either huge gemstones or else small suns, are set in the stone surface and brighten and dim over a 24-hour cycle, creating night and day.

==Geography==
Madego mimics the geography of the Lands Above perfectly. What would be separate domains in the Lands Above are ''provinces'' in Madego, ruled over by [[Demilord|demilords]] and [[Demilord|demiladies]], although the locals are not aware of this. If a traveller uses [[magic]], [[psionics]] or [[science]] to planar travel between Madego and the Lands Above, one always arrives in a location that mirrors the point of departure in the other realm.

==History==
Until [[740 BC]], Madego was in the grip of the ''Shrouded Years''; every resident was a tiny copy of a creature in the Lands Above, and exactly, thoughtlessly mimicked that creature's actions unless they were shocked out of their routine by extreme danger. The [[Grand Conjunction]] of [[740 BC]] threatened to tear the domain apart, but saw the appearance of [[Lupta]] in the depths of [[G'Henna]] province. As Lupta danced upon the barren earth, she was ridden by the spirits, and the resulting magic not only soothed the tremors of the Grand Conjunction and undid the damage it had done, but brought G'Henna's soil to life. The local [[:Category:Chi-Folken|Chi-Folken]] made music and worshipped the spirits, leading to the restoration of the land. 

In the wake of this ''Night of Music'', the Core provinces' [[false history]] was rewritten so they had 'always' been united in the '''Unholy Empire''' under [[King]] [[Azalin]]'s [[Azalin (Chibiloft)|counterpart]] in [[Darkon]] province. The locals are no longer forced to mindlessly copy the actions of creatures they have never met, and the [[:Category:Church of Lupta|Church of Lupta]] and the faith of the [[Spirit|Spirits]] are gaining traction. [[G'Henna]] is now a breadbox, its lands fertile and bountiful, where [[The Provider|Zhakata the Provider]] is worshipped and the Devourer is held as apocryphal. 

There is no [[Shadow Rift]], no [[Gwydion]] - because the place where that horror should have been imprisoned was once the gaol of the domain's [[Darklord]], [[Wudr]], who now walks free. 

The [[Grim Harvest]] never took place, which means [[Il Aluk]] was never transformed into [[Necropolis]], and the counterpart of [[Death (Lowellyn Dachine)|Lowellyn Dachine]] was never transformed into Death. Instead, a joint military operation by [[Darkon]], [[Borca]], [[Dementlieu]], [[Richemulot]] and [[Mordent]] provinces conquered the rogue nation of [[Falkovnia]]. The counterpart of [[Vlad Drakov]] and his male line were executed, and Falkovnia is now overseen by the counterpart of [[Gondegal]] on behalf of the Unholy Empire.
