Asphodel

Asphodel is a place that is comparable to heaven or hell. It houses the energy of dead mages, and serves as a host for what could be called an afterlife.

Location
Asphodel cannot be visited by anyone other than mages. Since the only known way for an immortal mage to die is through Mist, the only way to get to Asphodel is being killed by the mist.

It's unknown where Asphodel is, and it is standalone. The world itself is around 900 square miles (30 miles x 30 miles) and the borders are defined by thick clouds and fog. If you enter into the fog and keep walking, you'll come out somewhere else along the border. There is no real way to leave Asphodel.

Asphodel has a neutral climate, cold and snowy in the winter and hot and sunny in the summer. The days and seasons pass in the same way as they do on Earth.

Residents
One was the only resident of Asphodel for a very long time.

Places
There are not many places of note in Asphodel, and most of the ones that do exist were built by One.
 * One's cottage, located in the center of Asphodel. It has two stories, a basement, and a root cellar, with a wrap around porch. One lives here, as do the later inhabitants.
 * The farm behind the cottage contains a barn with livestock and a field of produce. One spends most of her time tending to the farm.
 * A temple to the south, made out of grey stone. It has no roof and is open to the sky, with an altar in the center and a bowl that collects rain water. When someone comes to Asphodel, they appear in the tall grasses in front of the temple, so it's normally the first thing they see.
 * The forest bordering Asphodel begins as sparse but grows more dense the farther you go in. As you walk deeper, the fog becomes more prominent until you can't see or hear, and you emerge somewhere else on the forest border.
 * The lake and marsh to the east. The river that flows into the lake comes from outside the forest, but the current is too strong to boat up it. There's a boathouse on the banks of the lake, which houses a few simple rowboats and fishing supplies.
